J. S. Bach: Violin Sonata No. 3 in C Major, BWV 1005 | Michael Butten Classical Guitar

[@MiguelOssaAbellan]

There are no words to express the magic of this performance.

[@ceticobr]

This performance is a clear example of a transcription that brings out so much more off the music than the original version does. Michael Butten articulates the polyphony much better than any violinist ever could. This rendition is very convincing both technically and emotionally.

[@jojobeanz2981]

They’re both good 👍

[@davidbartley7119]

Try Augustin Hadelich at kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKK5coGvZbyCrrs Not better, both very fine.

[@grehuy]

This Allegro is so complex. Here a master has climbed this mountain and gives us a glimpse of the view. How much work to and preparation to go up there. How beautiful the view, how fresh this air. How kind the gift brought back, this memory that stays with us, who barely can walk. And the Fuge.. how beautiful.. contemplating the way up.. Encouraging .. All calling to leave behind hope and take the instrument we inherited.. play and walk.. With much Love .. Thank you for sharing

[@MichaelButten]

Thank you so much to Siccas for posting it, and thanks to everyone for watching!

[@IntellikronTech]

The sound is absolutely mesmerizing. This is super difficult to achieve with a guitar.

[@John-zq6pt]

Amazing!! What strings did you use?

[@MichaelButten]

Savarez, Cantiga Creation Premiums, I go between all high tension, and the mixed sets with high basses and normal trebles. Can’t remember what tension trebles on when I recorded this unfortunately!

[@no-rq7fp]

@@MichaelButten You are an outstanding player! Really looking forward to seeing more of your work

[@cubicearth]

Most excellent job!

[@berkshiresow]

There are some performances that you know are going to be great within the first ten, or less, seconds. Like this one !!! Great tone.

[@mathewwade4619]

This is one of my favorite guitar performances I've ever heard. I keep coming back to it!

[@leetheflea7584]

No doubt one of the future greats of the classical guitar. That performance was incredible!!! Well done Michael!!!!!

[@nielsen6725]

Absolutely world class, Michael. You're a true musician, in total control of the guitar, full of exciting ideas.

[@jeanparke9373]

Shame. Shame. Shame that I can only the hit the like button only once. This performance is as celestial as that of angels. Bravissimo!!!!!!!!

[@TonKuipers134]

An uncredible performance, really beautifully played, 23 minutes of astonishing music, what a performance

[@JLTaylor]

What a tremendous gift you have worked to develop into true mastery, Michael. I am in awe of the beauty of the music here. Such a pleasure to hear, always.

[@darrenbevan9020]

The best student Bach ever had, I was fortunate enough to have a lesson from Michael, he had no ego despite his talent a true gentleman and a wonderful teacher

[@MichaelButten]

Cheers Darren, thanks for listening, hope you’re doing well!

[@viarnay]

Jesuschrist! the level of classical guitar is out of the charts and rising :- O!!

That fugue is just such a beast. Great sound and interpretation, thanks for posting the entire work!

[@kerinobrien3646]

I first saw you play in Marlow in 2017 - Great performance. Saw you in 2018 in St. Albans - Even Better. This one is stunning - you get better each time I see you.

A tour de force of composition getting the performance it deserves! Absolutely stunning in all ways. Also great videoing.

[@eugeniozennaro3764]

Oggi ho riascoltato questa stupenda interpretazione. L' unica parola che mi viene in mente è PERFETTO ! Butten you are GREAT. Thank You

[@raulcalderonbird]

I think i was listening to the best guitarist in the world. I can not understand the 17 dislikes. Who are those people?

[@JaxonBurn]

Usually it’s just people accidentally hitting the dislike button. I’ve done it myself a couple of times- surprisingly easy to do on mobile!

A delightful master-piece performance.

[@vayasaberlo8]

Phenomenal!! Thrilled to have discovered you!

[@sjpfree64]

Unbelievable performance. The whole thing is incredible, but I think it’s my favorite performance of the C Major fugue I’ve heard on any instrument.

[@frederik606]

Magnifique bravo....Allegro Assaï

[@JaredLim]

Such wonderful performance! I was unconsciously humming "London bridge is falling down..." to the 2nd movement Fugue

[@MichaelButten]

Thanks man, a friend pointed that out to me too, I can’t allow myself to think about that too much or it loses its epic ness in my head! 😂

[@NocturneGQ]

So good Michael!! Bravo!!!

[@Michajeru]

Superb performance! It is easy to see why you have had such success in competitions.

Marvellous playing sir. The guitar plays the chords more sympathetically than the violin, which to me sometimes sounds like it’s having difficulty spreading the arpeggios. Loved your interpretation.

Does the guitar have an internal microphone? Beautiful performance and great sound by the way.
