I would never be able to learn that. Would take more technique than I have and much more memory power.

[@ccwingnut]

I’ve learned a few (much-simpler) Bach pieces and for me it isn’t a matter of remembering all the notes, but learning the song and remembering the melody in my head… after I’ve gone through the many many hours of learning the finger positions, when I play them now I just hear the song in my head and my fingers know where to go. It’s kind of like a maze, or walking through your home in the dark… instead of memorizing the number of steps, you memorize the layout of your floorplan

[@joszeb]

I am a classical guitar player. This woman has made me wonder whether the guitar has been a real improvement over the lute...

[@marklimbrick]

I was privildged to visit a maker of that big double bass baroque thing in a little soiree. The punch and volume in a recording like this in situ is down to quantum improvement in low noise mics and amps plus zero noise media.

[@TowerofGuitars]

​@@joszebNot really an improvement, just vastly more economical and practical. They used to say it costs ad much to keep a lute in Paris as a horse. Look at it this way, the parlour guitar was to the archlute what a ukulele is to unmanageable electric guitar rig with giant amp and pedal board. The real direct improvement over the lute was the pianoforte, as much as the harpischord, combining the full polyphony of the harpischord with the expressive dynamics of the lute. For additional context the concert classical guitar developed long after the lute had fallen into disuse- filling a more similar niche to the lute than the parlour guitar.

Bach was a devout Lutheran Christian. He took to heart Luther’s great praise of music. Luther believed that music was a gift from God that was present in all creatures and reached its highest form in humans. He said, "Music is a gift and grace of God, not an invention of men". Luther said that music is second only to the Word of God in terms of praise. He said, "Next to the Word of God, music deserves the highest praise". Luther said that “music controls our minds, hearts, and spirits.” Luther said that music can drive out the devil and make people cheerful. He said, "The devil flees before the sound of music almost as much as before the Word of God". He also said, "Sacred music can encourage the heart, help fight temptation". and “Sacred music can proclaim the gospel to weary souls". Finally, Luther said that music is the only art that can afford peace and joy of the heart. He said, "I am strongly persuaded that after theology there is no art that can be placed on a level with music". Bach was choirmaster in St. Thomas church and composed so much church choral music of sublime nature. His music is such a gift and testimony to God’s beauty. He signed his name SDG Soli Dei Gloria, To God Alone be the Glory!

Oh, he sounded great and was well known, first as a chorister with a beautiful voice, then as a virtuoso violinist at a court called the "Little Versailles" because it was immersed in French culture and language, then as a great organist and a master composer who integrated French and Italian with German musical traditions. Many in who live in Leipzig or visited, and well as his children, learned under his direction and from his example as an organist the nuances of his performance practices. Now we have learned scholars, gifted artists, and our own responses.

[@freespirit995]

This is a stunning performance. I can't wait for the CD to come out in March (see below the reply to Jingtong Zhu's question). These ferociously difficult pieces are played with such ease, panache and grace that they simply dance- as they were meant to do! I also love the setting, making the artist look like a sitter for one of those Dutch paintings of instrumentalists, with in the background the vista of the library and on the table on the left another instrument lying on a cloth-covered table...

So very great played. It must be hard to keep all those strings in order. It,s really hard to play it on an ordinary guitar. Thank You for playing so nice.

The way she plays, every note feels inevitable, natural and lovely - without being boring. Very relaxing to listen to.
