J. S. Bach: Prélude BWV 1006a

[@sonyahannah]

I have the same number of fingers; I use the same number of strings; I've been playing longer than this lovely wonder-weaver has been alive. . . and not once, for even 5 seconds, have I EVER achieved anything remotely comparable to her delicious outpouring of talent and sound.

[@davidrimlees1484]

Ditto....I'm so envious, but in the nicest possible way!

[@TheLRider]

😂😂😂 Same here, this is so so beautiful.

[@michaelfoxbrass]

And yet, your music is wonderful just because it comes from you!

[@tonyschumacher-jones1540]

Love your comment.

[@rjwh67220]

I think all of us aging guitar hackers have to agree with you on this, and I, for one, couldn’t agree more.

[@jesussanz101]

So sweet, so warm, so beautiful. If Bach could hear it would be impressed. Tks.

[@terryjames548]

She's an absolute giant in music.

[@Deerse]

The rendition of John Williams (1964) was my reference on guitar, just like Hillary Hans playing on violin. You manege to bring out all perfection but also captured the spiritual timeless universal divine essence of this masterpiece. A new standard as reference point. You are a true musician, one of the few if you know what I mean.

[@patricksmith1319]

a modern Segovia!

[@andrew3979]

@@patricksmith1319 modern Bream. Segovia was great but his technique doesn't compare to Stephanie. She's up there with Julian Bream.

[@scottnolte7077]

This young lady can really play the notes, but most importantly she knows how to make music. It’s in her heart. Spectacular.

[@neosteeled001]

Thank goodness for my insomnia. This is a great way to start my morning!

[@kolea]

What a dazzling display of guitar virtuosity. I never thought I'd enjoy Bach like now altho hearing it played a thousand times before. Bravo.

[@kensong64]

Tone, Accuracy and Passion. What a combination. It must be Stephanie Jones, that's what she always brings. Thank you so much for overwhelming me - again.

[@4Motion54]

Hello Stephanie Jones, exceptional performance - there is so much energy in it. And the acoustic in this church is awesome! It is really a joy to hear and see you playing! ♥️Thanks for sharing this wonderful music with us. Be blessed and Kind regards from Germany, Bettina

[@misaelsanchez7174]

The most beautiful guitarist. Exceptional performance. Congratulations

[@fidemservavi3128]

Again, a great interpretation in a holy place with a great acoustic, Jb Bach would be happy hearing his masterpiece in this church

[@taouinche]

I wonder if you realize the happiness you bring through your videos? In these difficult times, those little moments of peace and joy are more than welcome. Thank you very much for that.

[@truthinesssss]

It’s a joy to hear you play with such joy and mastery Stephanie. I feel your heart singing through your instrument. ❤️🎶☺️

[@dasnitrabba9868]

Bach would kiss your fingers and your feeling. Excellent interpretation.

[@andrew3979]

There are many quality classical guitarist but what makes her special to me is her choice of pieces she plays. Outstanding!!

[@autk]

Technique and artistry wonderfully blended in a performance that is transcendent. I can feel the emotional connection to the piece and your instrument. You never disappoint Stephanie, beautiful. 💖

[@patriciamarch4658]

Absolutely amazing performance. Thank you so much, what a treat for me.

[@jerryolivarez1344]

Wonderful. I really can’t listen to many classical guitarist even though I love classical guitar . Julian Bream and John Williams being the two I am obsessed with, but I have to say I love your execution and tone and always with sincere emotion. Segovia would be so proud..Therefore I am adding you to that list. Bravo

[@candyshop1398]

Remarkable and totally beautiful. Rarely have I heard Bach played with such conviction, faithfulness and deftness of skill. This interpretation has to be one of the best I've ever heard. Stephanie you are an inspiration to us all. Thank you

[@vicsaul5459]

Dynamics and expression second to none, ❤

[@jerrys4841]

Please, some more Sunday morning recitals like this. Do you know how great it is to hear music like this first thing Sunday morning? Doesn't have to be Bach. Fresh precise and wonderful. Just like you know how to do it. Thank you.

[@gustavoc.novillo6695]

JUST WATCHED "Guitar by Masters Podcast #2 Stephanie Jones" and admire you even more because you have a wonderful heart and soul. I love Bach too and this performance is my favorite one! When I die, I woud like this version to be played to bring joy to whoever shows up to say good bye.

[@Koga-Ed]

In a few words: Beautiful sounding guitar (especially regarding the fact no effects have been used), and magnificent performance !

[@agal.3281]

Mr Bach sits on his cloud, smiles and says: keep on playing Mrs Jones, I like it ;) 👏👏👏

[@mikekeyes6102]

A great musician plays a great work by the greatest composer - what more could you ask for.

[@madcoricon]

absolutely brilliant. It seems to me that you get so much more out of every piece you play because you feel every note. I love watching your performances.

[@spaceman1981]

I woke up at 3:15 am for some reason - now I know why. Wow- such a powerful performance.

[@jonasbarbosa4410]

I hope someday young people all over world get access to this kind of music and great musician...

[@Ignatzberlin]

The dynamics, the tone colours, the swing and the earring are outstanding...!

[@eddyabacka8403]

Fantastico!!!! .. Brilliant!!! .. You are young, "but You are Already up & touching the Maestro's, Julian Bream & John Williams, in their back!" .. Congrats! ..

[@javi9038]

Impecablemente bella!! Mi admiración y respetos🙏👏👏👏👏 ¡Cariños desde Argentina!

[@ericgendell8874]

I don't think it is possible to praise Stephanie's flawless performance too high because this is as close to perfection as humanly possible. Thank you for posting.

[@smiley19912]

Miss Jones, that was absolutely beautiful.

[@pauldncn1]

Stephanie beautiful articulation i The flow and dynamic are exceptional Thank you for sharing xx

[@brookeaday9423]

love it, great intensity, push, pull. stef rocks! i think bach would agree...

[@BobC-u1i]

The whole presentation is a wonderfully emotive experience, with the music conveying a pinnacle of musicality and the artist displaying the human effect of immersion in the greatness of J.S. Bach. There are many artists who play a tribute to this Prelude, but Stephaie Jones is far and away my favorite.

[@Evil0tto]

One of my favorite pieces ever since I was a child and heard John Williams play it. And you perform it masterfully!

[@robdeshane321]

The tempo… so lithe.. emotive.. really quite beautiful!

[@theeasypath769]

Always looking forward to your new recordings. Don't forget your style.

[@Digithalis]

Excellent performance Stephanie, bravo! :-)

[@GuitarraparaTODOSgt]

Hi Stephanie, I really enjoy watching your videos of more modern music, but in this video you show that you are also very good at playing older music. Congratulations!!!

[@davestaggs6844]

One of my favorite compositions played absolutely beautifully! Thank you for adding the information about where you recorded this in the descriptions.

[@jesusdortega]

Impecable, perfect technique

[@davcox100]

Stunning performance Stephanie. You took full advantage of the beautiful surroundings and acoustics. 👏👏👏

[@michealleeyoung4482]

... just outstanding,no hesitation,no errors,too....

[@jarbasgoulartdecastro9104]

Gorgeous !!!!!!!!

[@UltraD52]

I love the dynamic expression in this performance!

[@DorothyOzmaLover]

Stephanie gifts genuine passion and artful expression that's so intoxicating making one wish to enjoy her performance for hours!

[@giardino1308]

Lei "sente" il pezzo in maniera totale; lei ed il brano diventano una sola cosa. Esecuzione mirabile, ti rapisce. Chapeau

[@SamB2112]

Wow! What an incredible restraint, equipoise and understanding you manage to play this difficult piece with, even in this young age! Remarkable. I cannot wait to hear Chaconne from you 😉.

[@davegallagher4498]

Really a beautiful and breathtaking combination of emotion intellect and physicality. No matter what you may play or wish to play, looking at her is certainly a guide to the way.

[@guitar-songs]

this is one of the most rock'n'roll pieces of Bach, here played with the right spirit 👍😍😍

[@llima3000]

I just would love be there to hear you playing in this church, to listen and feel the sound, the place, see you in this place… everything is perfect!

[@rabendranath]

Beautiful rendition, congratulations!! 👏👏👏

[@evanofelipe]

Stephanie you are the absolute proof that the miracle and genius of Bach will live on for ever. It is so good to see and hear young people such as yourself playing his music. Thank you

[@gustavoc.novillo6695]

I keep playing this piece over and over and every time I find some sublime expressions. I also share it with every friend on my address book. I love this piece so much that I want it to be played the day I have to cross the line to Heaven.

[@patricksmith1319]

There is a wonderful, incredible clarity to the whole piece. Truly divine Stephanie.

[@Jean-Pierre-PETIT]

Yes, yone, accuracy and passion

[@pavelsmom1089]

This girl has extraordinary talent!! ❤ Oh, and Bach would be very well pleased!

[@michaelshea5165]

Oh, thanks so much! I don't get chills often anymore, but you and Bach gave me that gift today.

[@franksabatino7576]

The grace and power here feel eternal. Thank you Maestra.

[@jamesmcclarty-miller]

Music is truly magical....

[@joesoy9185]

Another great recording, Stephanie. We haven't seen you pop up for a while. Always a joy!

[@deorotonewoodmill]

The definitive performance. Period. Kudos Stepanie!!!

[@michaelrobert4292]

Tellement beaux à entendre et extrêmement difficile un jouet un régal pour la vue et pour les oreilles merci Stéphanie

[@markmitchell6179]

Absolutely gorgeous performance from such a young master.

[@loiseaunoir1021]

"Young master" I like that Mark.

[@henkema22]

especially on guitar this piece is very diffucult to play so fast and she still makes it sound soooo effortless! compare with young hillary hahn playing the same piece - they seem to have a similar mindset! and at 2:35 she starts to add additional lines to the music. extremly well done - what a pleasure to listen to!

[@BIZEB]

Divine! Your musicality keeps improving. It's a blessing to be able to follow such a talented performer and watch you grow. Thank you for sharing.

[@papaowl13803]

A master at work here. Beautifully played Stephanie. Such dedication put into playing this. Bravo

[@florentintise]

That was beautiful 🎶

[@ZOOTSUITBEATNICK1]

Joy on a day when I needed it...thank you...

[@philltadman]

That was fantastic! Fast without being rushed and very musical

[@jacquelinelewis3131]

Lovely playing. ♥️

[@fernandosalinas932]

Muy bien Estefanía 😊.

[@remiclud]

It is a very beautiful tribute that you pay to this magnificent composer. Well done. I like this lightness, these shimmering sounds, I'm a fan! Thank you for sharing.

[@xarddam]

most beautiful music, beautifully played

[@russelljackman1413]

Goodness...! You always play so remarkably beautifully! Thank you, Stephanie! ❤❤❤

[@rrrosecarbinela]

I love how you love the music.

[@HarryVerey]

fantastic rendition , fabulous sound and acoustics

[@pascalsolal]

I know that music isn't competition... But you're by far the best, Stephanie...

[@expatusa6002]

Bravo ! First rate performance ! One of my very favourite Bach pieces, and I am normally very critical of people who don't play this how I prefer it. Not so in this case. Phrasing, dynamics and emotional expressiveness, all perfect. Thank you so much. Wyn

[@davidsumner5416]

OMG, there is so much emotion, so much drama in this performance.

[@phillipmitchell5879]

Beautiful, faithful performance of this lovely piece!

[@frankhorvath817]

Magnificent, stunning performance of one my favorite Bach pieces!

[@antoniomendoza7984]

uff, one of my favorite pieces...

[@EarlLedden]

I enjoyed the music, but you were the show. I'm working on the piano version and I want to experience the emotional intensity that this piece provides, and which you obviously felt. When I grew up, Bach was played with digital perfection, but I'll bet he was a really a fun guy that knew how to put life in his music.

[@wr7804]

Truly Wonderful! My efforts to play this piece could never compare. Beautifully done.

[@markoliverklenk3518]

wouw. all the voices are there .. without singing like glenn gould... power like a roll and roll guitar ...playing over harms like a jazz musician ...good time....i had so much fun listening to you ..faithfully yours ....

[@musicolocuaz3951]

That final measures was splendid, well all the piece was phenomnal

[@frankdarby6671]

A rwonderful revelation of the delight Bach had in exploring the chords he loved. Played by a master.

[@johnwindcliff2799]

World Class! Thank you for sharing your Music with us. Bethoven himself couldn't have played his own Music this well!

[@MrFerbis]

What a performance, wow!

[@Yngwiemax68]

oh my God, this is the best performance of the world of this prelude, I kowtow to you!

[@wilfriedhilbig7581]

Wow Steffi. Ein Meisterstück. Unglaublich. Vielen Dank.
