It’s a great pleasure to hear my former teacher once again! His personality shines through and his performance and unique interpretation could not be mistaken with anybody else. Bravo maestro!

[@TheSilent333]

I've heard countless renditions of this piece, but this is the most creative by far. The ornamentations are so unique, but still fit in perfectly. Masterful.

Just wondering ... how is it possible that I never heard of this increduble guitarrist before? Amazing quality! Thanks for tonebase for bringing him to us.

[@DIEGOGONZALEZ-np9ed]

he is a product of the great Cuban school of classical guitarists!!

[@mariuspessah2991]

I have completed a two hour study of the Bach Chaconne played on the guitar and my favorites were Christopher Parkening and of course Andres Segovia . I then stumbled upon this great guitarist that is new to me Joaquin Clerch . Want a great find . I have never heard of him before so now I have another project . What a performance. Perfect in every way . His technique is above reproach but his dynamics and verve transforms this to a higher level . An absolutely great performance and a difficult template for other guitarist . Just inspiring and perfect . Thank you Mr Clerch !

[@lucienvergez1565]

Il faut écouter Raphaëlla Smits elle joue tous les jours cette pièce à merveille rien à voir avec tout ce qui a été entendu !!!

[@opabinnier]

My feelings entirely. Yes, the man knows how to ornament, that's for sure. Perfect!

[@user-zj5tt1rw9d]

На мою думку Андре де Вітіс - найкраще виконання Чакони!!!Послухайте!

[@ivicaanelic9241]

I've never heard for maestro Clerch before, but this is an interpretetion I will refer and get back to it. It was played so cleanly and intelligently.

[@erict1917]

Without doubt, the finest version I've heard with lovely, silky ornamentation. Thanks for sharing your art.

[@luisgarcia2346]

This man gives us a glimpse of his soul through his music.

[@alexisrivera6238]

The teacher of the great masters of today! Outstanding performance by the Cuban virtuoso, kind regards to Mr. Clerch

[@gustavoalcazarclassicalguitar]

Wonderful version! He has a very deep knowdlege of technique, musicality and style! We hope to listen to more of him! I'm proud that I could be his pupil!

Escuchar a Joaquín tocar Bach es sinónimo de éxtasis. Se puede apreciar el inmenso conocimiento de la época y el compositor en esta maravillosa interpretación. Gracias maestro por este regalo, te admiro y te quiero. Gabi.

[@raffitorossian6994]

Bach is a legend and the artist performed it in an excellent way. Excellent technic and nuance. Thanks for uploading.

The best interpretation I ever heard from Chaconne. Thank you very much Mr. Clerch!

[@danserolf_SometimesPiano]

What a pleasure it’s to listen to Bach on guitar!

[@j5555785]

What bass lines!!! My goodness! Brilliantly done on the great eulogy of the entire western corpus of music. You see 20th century - there was never anything wrong with tonal music.

Merveilleuse interprétation sans aucune faute avec de nombreuses ornementations du grand art.

[@eduardoalejandrobarrerogar7228]

Todo lo bueno que aprendí en este mundo de la música y en mi formación como ser humano, gran parte de ello se lo debo a mi maestro Joaquín Clerch, de las personas más impresionantes que he conocido en la vida, de esas que te marcan para siempre con su manera de imaginar el mundo. Gracias.

[@milenkoglasinovic4615]

Una de las más bellas interpretaciones de esta Ciaconna de Bach ,llena de recursos técnicos y musicalidad 👏👏 Saludos desde 🇨🇱

[@LeonardoGarciaguitar]

What a wonderful interpretation. Profoundly beautiful. Bravo!

[@beatrizmacias1958]

Qué maravilla! Un regalo para el alma. Gracias, querido Joaquín!

[@ramonarouca1890]

Probably the cleanest performance I've ever seen! Bravo!

[@JaxonBurn]

Wow! That was awesome. It's often said in the world of classical music that, due to the prevalence of brilliant players these days, one really has to be bold with one's interpretation of much-played pieces such as this one in order to stand out. Well Joaquin has certainly done that. A very unique interpretation, loaded with character and bold choices, and beautifully played.

[@johnmckindley-ward8070]

I believe that’s right. So many guitarists these days are technically amazing and can nail every note on the page, but it seems few have Clerch’s sensibilities, experience, and knowledge to develop interpretations like this. Simply following the score is great as well, but as a guitarist myself, it’s wonderfully refreshing to hear, unique interpretations such as this. Clerch is master. I think he’s taking some stylistic cues from the lute as well, which is a really great touch. Also, the guitar sounds great!

[@JaxonBurn]

@@johnmckindley-ward8070agreed!

[@bratenrock]

​@@johnmckindley-ward8070I don't agree. We are not talking of better or worse. We should rather speak of it being a beautiful flower in a meadow full of beautiful flowers. And his interpretation stands out because he plays with unusually many ornaments. But the Chaconne is also just as touching if you play it extremely simply.

[@brookeaday9423]

beautiful. such a magical piece.

[@maranathashalom9402]

BRAVOOO!! MASTERFUL! He truely understood this piece. This is incredible. The way he just riffs away, adds new harmonies, plays around with the themes, adds a contrast tone... FLAWLESS technical playing as well. This. This is perfection. THANK YOU for this rendition! I've listened to pretty much every one on youtube and this is one of the only handful of pieces I still play on the guitar for almost 3 years now. And this is what I want it to sound like. The other performers did a great job as well, but this one definitely takes the cake! BRAVISSIMO MAESTRO!

Impressive. It’s one of the fastest interpretations I’ve heard on guitar, yet cleanly played, and it does not sound rushed. Quite good. Thank you.

It leaves the world a better place by virtue of bringing truth, beauty, and meaning, to make existence worthwhile, which is the entire point. Bravo Maestro, Bravo. Nice sounding instrument also.

Someone might think why this piece has been recorded many times. It's a very very hard piece to achieve this kind of level this man has achieved.

Yes I have tried this piece and afterwards just play Cowboy chords and sing😂. Maybe one year every day 3-4hours will make it but big Maybe😎🎸.

[@stephenmason6384]

The greatest works for guitar are Bach transcriptions, and the Chaconne is the greatest of these.

[@johnkhobson]

No! It's the greatest music, but it's not for the guitar. It has nothing to do with the guitar, or what distinguishes a guitar, and what a composer for guitar utilizes to make the particular sound. This unfortunate line of thinking derives from Segovia's drive to promote a false patina of respectibility. Great composers for guitar are like Villa Lobos, Rodrigo, Brouwer, Tarrega, Barrios, and many, many others.

[@DuendeHr]
