Evangelina, eres un Angel tocando este instrumento, haz aquilatado toda la sabiduría de otros intérpretes famosos de Laud, Tiorba, Vihuela que no voy a nombrar porque resumes: sonido, digitación, dinámica, fraseo, pausas y notación. Todo lo que haces son verdaderos discursos del método puro en música; la estética completa del barroco está en ese arco de sonidos que produces, desde el temprano renacimiento hasta el tardío barroco ese compendio. Soy intérprete de flauta traversera barroca que estudié en La Haya y te escucho porque simplemente tu música es arte en el estado más sublime y depurado. Gracias por permitir que la belleza fluya en este mundo.

[@thomassicard3733]

I think... that Courante just is... awesome.

[@thomassicard3733]

OK. Listened again to it. Yes. I was right! LOL!

[@NuisanceMan]

Too. Many. Strings.

[@OlgaZuccati]

i might be crazy but i think some of this is way easier to play on the lute for the simple fact that the hand shapes are less awkward than on a regular guitar

[@rfdarsie]

The allemande in this suite is one of my favorite pieces, and she plays it perfectly - not too fast, giving it room to breathe. Mark of a great musician (not just a great player).

I have no expertise at all; i do not know this wonderful woman. But, Johann Sebastian is one of my dearest. I am not superstitious, but, Evangelina is just the best motto for your performance, my dear Signora Mascardi. I am listening to you time and again at the feet of the Pirineos. Thank you ! You are the best argument against suicide.

[@TheArchaicSaga]

J.S. Bach himself would be proud to hear this. Incredible job. Well done!

[@dave6012]

What a difference it makes to the musicality hearing this on lute vs guitar. The bass notes end up creating a sort of duet with the melody due to the 8va up tuning of the courses. Very cool!

[@inneswilliamc]

Your rendering of Bach is unsurpassed in its warmth and clarity. Thank you, good lady.

[@thomassicard3733]

Brava!!!! If I could like this (thumbs up) a gazillion times, it would not be enough.

I wish Bach could witness such perfection.

[@jfinester]

Absolutely beautiful. (and the playing isn’t too bad either.) Seriously, this is fantastic! I’m a guitar player, can’t even begin to play this stuff, but I love to listen to it. Herr Bach wrote some of the most advanced music the human race has ever created. The counterpoint, the voice-leading, the modulations-unbelievably brilliant. And Ms. Evangelina plays beautifully. Bravo!

[@evangelinamascardiofficial4766]

🙏

[@8888Rik]

Absolutely gorgeous. I first heard this played by Bream, decades ago, and loved it. But how it sits on the lute is vastly superior.

[@jameslouder]

Thank you, Evangelina Mascardi, for an interpretation of great dignity and grace. These pieces by Bach are what drew me to the classical guitar as a teenager, and later the lute. For twenty minutes you have made me young again with this timeless music.

I've listened to J. S. Bach's music for nearly all of my life, and I'm 70, and played music for several decades ("classical" guitar, although that's a complete misnomer), and to me Bach's music sounds like talking, like a conversation. No other music I've ever heard or played strikes me like this the way his music does.

[@antiv]

I’ve never heard somebody describe it like this, like talking, like a conversation. Perfect. Very true.

[@8888Rik]

@@antiv Yes, his music has always sounded like that to me, especially his organ music. There is a fairly minor work by him which I will confess at the outset that I can no longer remember (and I haven't owned a recording of it in many decades) that sounds for all the world to me like an argument between two people. It really is amazing. But that's what contrapuntal music really is: different voices crossing each other, sometimes harmonizing and sometimes clashing. But the subject is the same, and so it's like a conversation or an argument.

[@ttwopercent]

I felt the same way when I went to see a performance of Chopin, the left and right hand were two different people conversing. Now I am sitting here drinking my coffee in ultimate bliss trying in vain to digest every note. I am just a grain of sand swept away by the waves of Bach moved by a masterful musician.

[@palm0018]

I have associations like he explains something to me.

[@Thetruepianoman]

That's a real nice observation. For me it is like the conversation one has with their own mind

@linux maximus The human brain seems uniquely adept at remembering music, for some reason. I stopped playing guitar for around 8 years, but recently picked up my classical and was surprised that I could remember how to play basically all the songs I knew (as well as bits and pieces I made up myself), even if the muscle-memory/dexterity suffered a bit.
