Chaconne in d minor by J.S.Bach (Arr. John Feeley)

[@llibmahargtube]

I think the average person listening to this doesn't realize the dedication and hard work it takes to get to this level of playing the guitar. This gentleman sits here for more than 13 minutes and plays beautifully and flawlessly, having memorized this very long and difficult piece. His fingers glide over the frets seemingly effortlessly. What a magnificent performance. Bravo, sir, bravo!!!!

[@sunaJH]

Bravo indeed

[@gabrielperezgonzalez6697]

No doubt, it is bravissimo!!! Even more: over the enormous work needed to be able to perform like this, I would highlight the attitude of the player towards the music he plays. It is technically perfect but, at the same time, sober as to not to permit himself any arbitrary ornament or subjective variation to show himself thus making himself the star. He serves humbly the music, so allowing the listeners to enjoy it at its highest degree. Thanks Mr. Feeley. Sin duda, bravísimo. Aún más: sobre el enorme trabajo necesario para llegar a tocar así, yo destacaría la actitud del intérprete hacia la obra que toca. Lo hace de modo técnicamente perfecto pero, al mismo tiempo, tan sobrio como para no permitirse ningún adorno arbitrario o variación subjetiva que atraiga la atención sobre sí mismo. Por el contrario, sirve humildemente a la pieza, haciendo con ello a los oyentes disfrutarla al máximo. Gracias, Sr. Feeley.

[@jaikee9477]

"The Chaconne is one of the most wonderful, incomprehensible pieces of music. On a single staff, for a small instrument, the man writes a whole world of the deepest thoughts and the most powerful feelings. If I were to imagine how I might have made, conceived the piece, I know for certain that the overwhelming excitement and awe would have driven me mad." -- Brahms

Matt, I'm not a guitarist, but I've heard that this is one of the most difficult pieces to play. Do you find that to be the case? And even though I don't have the ability to play, I do have the ability to listen very carefully to music. I've heard many performances of this and I agree, this one seems nearly flawless to me. I've heard several of Feely's performances and have been impressed with each one. (Pun intended 😊)

Most comments here quite rightly praise the wonderfully accomplished playing of John Feeley. One of the reasons for the brilliance of this performance is the arrangement which is also his. The miracle of KZbin allows us to easily compare this with performances by other masters such as Williams, Bream and Segovia. In my ears this tops them all, and the arrangement has a lot to do with that. I find it astonishing that until I happened to search for the great Chaconne here I had never heard of this Master of the guitar.

[@jlunch]

A fugue and a chaconne have similarities. A Chaconne always keeps the original bass line throughout and the theme goes through a series of variations. This chaconne remains in d minor for the entire first half before switching keys rather dramatically to D Major only to return to it's original d minor. A fugue takes a theme and piles them on top of itself in other voices and plays more with different individual voices continuing to develop the original thematic statement and sometimes modulating quite frequently. Fugues will often pop up in unexpected places like development sections of symphonic movements or string quartets. I hope that helps

[@phildbagrip]

As someone who plays both classical and electric guitar, I'd offer to the casual listener the following: no piece of electric guitar playing, not even the great Govan, is as difficult to play as what John just did here.

[@greg-warsaw4708]

A question to classical guitarists: you say, _Finally (...), not a single squeak. Are finger/string squeaks considered impure playing by the art and schools of classical guitar or just something inherently involved? Do guitarists endeavor to eliminate it, or perhaps only as the very final polish once everything else is perfect, or do they reckon it quite natural and not a flaw? Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y16oZJ5obduYjMU - the rendition of Chaconne is obviously not free of squeak but does it take anything away from it? What is the opinion of the classical guitar connoisseurs?

In the grand tapestry of musical evolution, John Feely's rendition of Bach's Chaconne in D minor on the guitar emerges not just as a performance but as a revelation, casting a new light on Bach's genius with the gentle yet profound touch of the strings. Each note, meticulously crafted and emotionally charged, serves as a testament to John's technical brilliance and deep, mesmerizing artistry. This isn’t merely playing; it’s an act of transcending time, a dialogue with history, where the guitar becomes the chosen instrument to unveil new dimensions of a timeless masterpiece. Imagine, if you will, a moment where time folds upon itself, allowing Bach to step into our era and witness the evolution of his Chaconne. One can’t help but wonder at the joy and astonishment that would dance in his eyes, hearing his composition reborn with such passion and nuance. Would he marvel at the way John not only preserves the essence of his work but elevates it into a soul-stirring journey? This performance is a bridge between epochs, a dream where past and present merge under the banner of musical exploration. John, through your strings, Bach’s spirit seems to whisper across the centuries, rejoicing in the new life you’ve given his Chaconne. Your rendition goes beyond homage; it’s a vibrant, living dialogue with the maestro himself. If only Bach could witness the way you’ve transformed his legacy into an auditory spectacle that transcends what was once thought possible. Bravo for a performance that is not just heard but felt, a journey that redefines the boundaries of time, technique, and emotion.

I was in the classical guitar club as a college student and often I was a member of the classical guitar club when I was a college student, and this is one of my favorite songs. Thank you for the wonderful performance.

Fantastic playing and fine tone. Chaconne is the holy grail of classical guitar and it's Mastery by a player is the culmination of years of study and practice.

By far the most beautiful and intriguing guitar rendition of Bach's chaconne! Bravissimo John!

[@roquevillegas4653]

Thank you again John...filling me up with joy and peace.... if Bach could only hear it...

I have heared it about 20 times. And every time it moved me. This is definitive the best interpretation of chaconne on all of all the musical instrument that i know. Some breath are so fine... Every time i hear this piece, i fell like play a video, but in double speed. The feeling could be just so complicated and beautiful.

This man is on a mission -- you can see it in his face, and in his body language -- to play the heart and soul out of one of Bach's greatest compositions -- and he succeeds absolutely, totally, and magnificently!
