Nina Bernat, J.S. Bach Suite No. 6 in D Major, BWV 1012

[@franzenmusic]

So much soul. Heart-breakingly beautiful. ❤

[@JoelQuarrington]

Outstanding!

[@cello2ears]

Mrs. Bernat, Bravissima! As a cellist, my utmost respect for your deeply touching musical performance. Bach would have been absolutely delighted with you and your consummate mastery, and would surely have written at least 24 double bass concertos for you! It’s a great joy that you’ve performed and shared this. Thank you so much! My eyes can’t stay dry, knowing how demanding this suite already is on the cello, and even more so on the double bass with so many more finger spacings, different tuning and the upright playing position! 👏💛

[@KoKuma-z1q]

Each time when I hear such perfect performance of transcribed Bach, I can't help imagining what if Bach could have heard it when he was alive. Maybe people should have spared many transcription jobs.👏

[@lauraleshchiner9530]

Спасибо, Нина. Впервые слушаю Баха в такой транскрипции. Не могла оторваться, пока ты не закончила играть. Великолепно!

[@chazmosis]

As a cellist who took up bass late in life this performance reminds me of the quote from Casals: “The most perfect technique is that which is not noticed at all.” And I think this holds true here - you have served the music perfectly while making it look effortless. Brava!

[@ziriyab]

I've never heard the double bass sound so beautiful and with perfect intonation and legato...

[@Guus274]

old dutch double bass players Guus and Willem love you ,for your outstanding bach bass playing. !!!!! .

[@pors6058]

This is lovely and stunning. Tears in my eyes. Thank you so much Nina 😊

[@walterkirchgessner]

Nicht nur technisch, auch musikalisch und tonlich hervorragend. Chapeau! 👏👏👏

[@AaronGlenn88]

such clarity on the bass!

[@WiseBearPD]

Very nice and pleasant tone Ms.Bernat.The acoustics are great it gives your double bass an exquisite frequency that resonates throughout the room.

[@KoKuma-z1q]

Bach Suite 6, difficult even for Cellos. Brava

[@festivetosho7376]

In Rostropovich's cd/dvd set he gives little lectures, which are very interesting and for the 6th he says, "tomorrow I will attempt the 6th suite." "Attempt"!

[@maddie8415]

Bravo, Nina! This brought tears to my eyes! I'm a cellist and am just so impressed by people who are able to play these suites so brilliantly on the double bass.

[@stefanoghezzi8214]

Incredibile performance! Fantastic interpretation! Best regards from Italy!

[@jeremymccoy5675]

Fantastic, Nina! Beautiful performance!

[@joukopulkkinen4299]

Absolutely incredible - stunning performance. 🇫🇮

[@woodvalestringquartet4150]

This beautiful piece is difficult enough on cello, unless with the 5th string! I am a cellist and bassist, but I would never even attempt it on bass. And your performance is absolutely beautiful and musical. I feel as though I am listening to a magic act. Superb!

[@adenilsonbarbosaalves977]

Incrìvel😃😃👋👋👋

[@Hugoasrin]

[@christianbrodiez5287]

Etonnante cette transcription pour la basse de la suite No6 pour celto de Bach ; la jeune soliste y montre des prédispositions incroyables Bravo !

[@heinz-adolfhetschold7720]

Welch eine ergreifende Lebendigkeit und große Kunst Ein wunderbarer Gesang BRAVO

[@limitstoprogress]

Greetings from Canada! I know how hard it is to play this instrument. What I am seeing and hearing here is the utmost best performance of this piece on ANY instrument, ever. This is like the four-minute-mile of music, it will be very difficult for anyone to ever best this performance! Than you for posting, I have added this video to "favorites" to come back to many more times! Brava!

[@ItsCooltoPlayBass]

Ugh, this is so SO good. I adore the expression in this performance. There's something about this sound that is GETTING to me. Much love

[@montsemashurtuna9561]

[@neonwind]

Lovely transcription, thank you.

[@donisjordan249]

Dear Johann where are you ? Wake up and hear your music like you never heard it before !

[@scotzer]

Magnificent. The piece benefits from the timbre of the contrabass in your hands, Ms. Bernat!

[@nreitman]

Dig the unapologetically double bass sound!

[@SilvioNobre]

Perfection! 🎄❤️

[@911michi]

Wonderful

[@jonobester5817]

Wow. You know how hard this piece is already on the cello. To be able to play it on the bass is a superhuman feat. And not only a great sounding instrument, it must be set up perfectly. Shout-out to whoever worked on this instrument. Who's the maker? And the bow?

[@Lepewhi]

All I can say is, WOW!!!

[@Nodybass]

Uff so amazing❤, I enjoyed your music at the ISB!

[@bobsabin]

Exceptional!

Bravo.

[@matintaraz4236]

I haven't heard better ..... Easily beats most of the cello performances.... Bravo!

[@nathanaelfra]

That looks very hard to do! But what a wonderful performance.

[@lucazalaffi1able]

BRAVAAA!!! ... 👏👏👏👏👏 👍👍👍👍👍

[@FK12Polaris]

Klasse!

[@Dashlab_]

arguably more difficult to play this on bass rather than cello, impressive playing

[@samuelungar6528]

Arguably?? 100% way harder

[@jenniferhigginswagner5577]

I'm a cellist- 100% agree

[@DarwinsChihuahua]

​@@samuelungar6528 At least 100% harder. :-)

[@ositoCastro]

I love you Nina 😉

[@RatzoBHarris]

Interesting scordatura

[@themusiccovenant]

Where can purchase online double bass solo sheet music? I would appreciate the help

[@荒木雄一郎-q6k]

Bass is bigger than cello🎉

[@folwr3653]

I didn’t even know this was possible. 😮

[@CanadianDivergent]

Definitely that bass gives a Sub-Woofer a run for its money!

[@ЮрийЗаславский-ю5к]

❤шедевр девушка играет

[@festivetosho7376]

And here I was thinking that Edgar Meyer didn't record this one because it wasn't possible on this instrument...

[@menzimaziya3663]

😗😗

[@Juan-k9l4e]

¡Qué grande fue Bach! Aquellos que hablan de Beethoven están más sordos que el alemán y, mejor, se dedican a escuchar reguetón. Nina, cuida un poco más la métrica, no agregues putillos donde Bach no los escribió, además, algunas notas estan equivocadas y mal entonadas.

[@nonoquevedo8069]

BRavoooooooooooooooo

[@RedwoodBushcraft]

She looks tiny next to that cello!😮

[@esthertevaarwerk6410]

Which tuning is it?

[@yuriobass]

Solo tuning (A-E-B-F# from top to bottom)

[@connieanderson2281]

No
