Fuge BWV 997

Johannes Monno spielt Johann Sebastian Bach: Fuge BWV 997

[@rudeguitardotcom]

Wow. This is a truly remarkable recording. Not only is it a brilliant performance, but it is also a dazzling sound recording and a wonderful film. You are very masterful, and you play this diabolically difficult piece with such ease and technical facility. Pay no attention to the comments of amateurs. Your interpretation is as astute as it is musical, and your execution, sublime.

[@xxderry]

Fully agree! True Master

[@1973wildcatman]

Not rushing these pieces and letting them flow rhythmically almost like a roller coaster slowing down and speeding up really brings the counterpoint to light and showcases its beauty.

[@Glider324]

This fuge fits so perfectly on the instrument. What a composition and what a musician playing it.

[@Saitenfee]

Ich höre es immer wieder an. Bach... so wundervolle Musik! Großartig interpretiert und toller Klang! Vielen Dank für die tollen Aufnahmen! (Prelude ebenso)

[@holdencaustic]

Close your eyes, and this piece sounds as it should. Very few guitarists can do this, this way. I think I'll listen 300 more times today.

[@vayasaberlo8]

Effortlessly perfect. . .

[@angelikaseegers-classicalg8053]

" Gross-artig ". Eine phantastische Stimmführung und ein sehr schöner Klang auf einer wunderbaren Konzertgitarre !!

[@giuseppedamato3259]

"Stimmführung Ok(!!), aber: - Klang: romantisch ( sollte aber Barok sein) ---- - gitarre: Zeder ( sollte aus Fichte (d.h. Lauten stimme) sein)

I can hear every Bach's music interpretations on guitar.., but I come back only here. Outstanding performance. Thank you Johannes Monno.

[@GermanGajardoTorres]

Maravilloso...

[@miguellavariel1348]

A grounded, brilliant performance. A true master.

[@heqainushema]

What a performance ! The reverend expressions giving way to an occasion smile say it all.

[@johnplunkett]

This is fabulous. Hearing about 'technical difficulty' of pieces on KZbin gets boring fast, I just want to hear the music. But I used to play this piece myself so I know how hard it is, and it is insane to be able to hear someone play it with this level of ease and absolutely everything in place. You're a great guitarist.

[@canadianRadio]

like those barre chords perfectly timed.

[@robertoalexandre4250]

As near as the ideal sound for Bach (at least on the six-string guitar) I can imagine. The tone, marble, solid and crystal-clear. The phrasing, impeccable. To achieve this level of fluency in which one only hears the music, pure and straightforward, without any quirks or mannerism, is a herculean feat. This is among the small amount of Bach that actually sounds convincing on the guitar (up there with Russell, Barrueco, Galbraight, Hubert Kappell and very few others). Exquisitely recorded too to caprture the ideal guitar sound as it would actually (or close enough) sound in a hall with good, but not overeechoing acustics.

@愛 I come late but that's not in the least what he said and you are very very stupid

[@yhy4449]

Best! I've ever heard. Thank you.

[@catalina525]

lovely. Its a really hard piece to play correctly. Bach must have been in a divine state when he wrote it. i LOVE THIS

[@scylliastitus6846]

When a great piece played by the right one.

[@jesuisravi]

Wonderful!

[@ramsn1971]

Beautiful! The best BWV 997 for guitar that I have ever heard! I have heard this piece many times but never played like this. Excellent timing and tonality!

[@limayankee1143]

+Ram SN Professor Monno is one of the best guitar players in Germany

[@rgw29]

I fully agree, it is the best performance on youtube that I have seen.

[@Artariastein]

Die Musik von Johann Sebastian Bach baut eine geistige Brücke zischen uns und der Unendlichkeit.

[@haimlute]

one of the best interpretations that i've ever heard. lovely ornamentation in the "da capo" :)

Sublime interpretación. Me recuerda a Glenn Gould. Verdaderamente reconoce a Bach y Bach lo reconoce a él

[@Sorguitar91]

Beautiful tone and a perfect technique.The music by Bach played as it deserved!!!

[@vayasaberlo8]

Eigentlich perfekt, Maestro, danke schoen!

[@Hermeterec]

from Jose' E. Sepulveda.......absolutely PERFECT.....if such an accolade may ever be applied to a performance such as this . Perfect tempo....impeccable phrasing.....all in all simply wonderful playing.

Impecable interpretación e impecable producción visual!

[@Kuhlenborn]

Sounds incredible! Those melodic lines flowing and twisting into each other in perfect harmony in a such cromatic limited instrument like the guitar... Genius work in composition by Bach and genius work in interpretation "taming" all those voices. Nice video too!

[@Richard56rs]

i do not have words its simply great this man make me love bach even more

[@carlocrist1]

A beautiful performance of a very beautiful piece. The pacing and timing is immaculate, the phrasing wonderful. A magnificent version.. More please.

[@jpsalaun]

Absolutly magic. A great moment of music. Thank you a lot Johannes for sharing.

[@macleod41069]

To play this as well as this takes a real master, outstanding !

[@cliveburch2849]

Absolutely SUPERB!! Herr BACH is,and always shall be,the King. Danke X

[@ABARILANI]

Beautiful performance! I adore the voice, the sound of his guitar.

[@rudeguitardotcom]

I disagree. His ornamentation is excellent, and most certainly not improvised, as might be common on a keyed instrument. Modern baroque performance practice calls for tasteful adornment (motific, if possible) upon repetition of a section, and that's exactly what we see here. I find them tastefully conceived and correctly placed and distributed. Having studied this piece extensively myself, I must add that the ornamentation is the least of the challenges here. Sustained 3 voice fugue with a "double" section is nearly impossible to execute even without ornamentation. Monno makes it look and sound simple.

[@martinevensen406]

Julian bream played this very well this man also

[@Chrisolopolis]

Bravo! I could not imagine a better performance of that piece. Masterfully done. Camera work as a great complement, as well. Just a joy to listen to.
