J. S. Bach, Sonata No. 1 in G minor, BWV 1001 - Ana Vidovich

[@cugelchannel4733]

The cool thing about watching these Ana Vidovic videos is having met her and knowing what a gracious and friendly person she is to her fans. She's high class all the way, and her playing is so technically brilliant! Ana is my favourite artist. She seemed gently amused when I told her so. I guess a lot of people tell her that. She works really hard at her job, being the best possible musician she can be takes incredible dedication over many years. My hat's off to her because I could never work as intensely hard at something as she has. It's not remotely an accident that she's one of the best musicians in the world. This video is 10 years old. Her playing seems to me even more effortless today.

[@cugelchannel4733]

She's not tiny. She's about 5'8" or so, I'd guess. Standing next to her you wouldn't think she was particularly small. She has small bones and is thin, but not particularly short.

Until three weeks ago on KZbin I never heard her play, and, at 67 I am glad cause it is just awesome. Glad to hear that she is humble and has this great gift.

che meraviglia! she plays in such a way that playing guitar seems the easiest task in the world. Her sound is so clean, it's amazing.

no need to be trashy when you have real talent. she is nice looking, and nicely dressed woman. and the playing is great. the quality of the upload is very good too. sounds like she is in my living room playing.

[@Drewster58]

love this amazing guitarist, who happens to be a beautiful woman and grew up as a child prodigy of the classical guitar. Her style, so precise and balanced is perfect for J.S. Bach's countrapuntal genius

[@alephomega386]

I don't know man. Bach depended heavily on having patronage from royalty and whatnot.

[@alephomega386]

Well he had to have income somehow.

[@ikarus342000]

By composing this sort of music he made no income Bach's income was coming from composing church music

[@Drewster58]

The economics of being a musician in the age of Bach included having a patron, a royal person who would provide for his musicians and support them physically and financially.

[@HelenaWilliams8696]

Lovely alluring melody! A. Vidovich is a MASTERFUL performer.

[@vextract4662]

Thanks for posting this! Been looking for this sonata in its entirety played by a wold class player with good production. Prayer answered, Ana sets the bar high, the Allegro is astoundingly fast and a very brave interpretation. Love it!

[@mrpianist8278]

Sounds like a very Spanish interpretation of Bach, and there is nothing wrong with that. It is very sensual and romantic.

[@StewNWT]

great description. love the math of it and yet the flamenco spirit

[@FusicPool]

Yeah now that you mention it, its sort of like if barrios(i know barrios isn't Spanish but you get my point) wrote it. Sorry for responding to a comment from 6 years ago btw

[@everab1209]

@@FusicPool It does not sound too much like Barrios. He would play with a more folkloric style as you can hear from his own recordings (even metal strings). I just feel that many Barrios' interpretations are just too "classical" and dry.

Ana Vidovic is so smooth, it makes it look so easy, but yet the pieces she plays are very complicated, the sound of a true expert.

[@jean-francoismasson]

Très belle interprétation ,avec la tonalité originale,et des trilles sur une corde! un beau phrasé,intelligent et musical,une prise de son qui pourrait être meilleure! le son est un peu dur, la superbe technique de l'artiste lui est bien utile pour réaliser avec aisance et élégance le presto par exemple! sauf le dernier accord malheureux en rasgueado (du pouce) , belle version qui change de celles que l'on entend en la m, avec plein de cordes à vides, des trilles sur deux cordes, qui sont très bien dans Scarlatti ! mais pas là dans une transcription du violon! bravo! belle artiste!

[@filmic1]

Love the sound of this guitar. Watching her youtubes with students, she is SO gracious. Arpeggios to die for. That right hand work....

This quote may be of interest to some of you: "Vidović plays a Jim Redgate guitar exclusively and has said, "When I got it and began to play, I immediately knew that this was the instrument that I want to be playing for a long time"

Except I believe this video is "pre-Redgate" and this isn't one of his guitars?

I could play the fugue after a fashion at some point, so I believe I can grasp the level of skill and work a performance like hers would require. 0.0 Its humbling. Can't but cheer for every outlandish chord and fretboard transition she nails and those 16th runs she just purrs through. Lol.

[@rileysmith4595]

Hmm.. came to see what Ana did about a certain fingering and noticed that she changed a note-A-flat to an open G-natural-to make a jump easier in the B section. I wonder what Bach would say...

[@高橋正博-s2u]

ameblo.jp/galwayera/entry-12231162875.html BWV-1001 is just equal to sonata for violin solo in g-minor. Ana Vidovic has played it completely by guitar on behalf of violin. I must declare this is a nice behavior. Well, let's listen to this 2nd movement. . This is a typical g-minor fugue. And her guitar playing is so distinct and steady that we can comprehend what the fugue is. I think it's probably 3 or 4 voices excellent fugue. Anyway, Ana Vidovic is a truly great guitarist.

[@dakikasaniye3839]

[@zeynepersen5456]

gracias mi amor

[@GarciaCopista]

Yo creo en Bach como un Génesis de la música, sistematizando lo que le antecedió y sirviendo de base para lo que le procedió. Sin embargo, los BWV 1001 a 1006 tendrían que haber sido para laúd, en vez de para violín. Suena mucho mejor. BWV 1001-1006 in guitar is better than in violin.

[@chezz.1]

En la guitarra, los acordes son mucho mas facile, penso que the fuga suena muy bien por esta razón.

[@rfdarsie]

Very well done! I always judge a musician more on how they play the slow pieces than the fast ones, because the slow pieces really have to breathe - she does them very well. (For a very different but amazing treatment of this piece see watch?v=TIZFzEsdx_Q.)
