[@brandonwoodson9348]

I should've bought bach's 6 violin partitas and sonatas for violin, so I could've played it on guitar.

[@dartme18]

@@brandonwoodson9348 No need to buy it, my friend! It's in the public domain for a long time now ;-)

[@TaxPayingContributor]

Beautifying music, however you failed to mention the 0:56min brickSky fingerprint intro.

[@bach211685]

Galou le Bougalou thank for marking the movements (sections)🙏

[@spencercole8507]

@Konstantin Ridaya In fact, most of Bach’s harpsichord concertos are transcriptions of his own earlier works.

[@Michajeru]

Let us be deeply thankful that Bach wrote such beautiful music and that there are wonderful musicians like Sandel Redzic to play for us.

[@petehernandez1476]

Everything you did here was absolutely incredible. Every single note. But - that Sarabanda - something very special about the way you played that. And then... the Giga - wow! Impressive! Bravo!

[@thewwemegafan]

Those hand stretches in Chaconne, holy moly.

[@martinschramke1217]

Ich bade in Tränen vor Freude, wenn die Chaconne erklingt - Spitzenperformance, die mir aus dem Herzen spricht

[@TimothyCampling]

Ja, geht mir auch so!

[@ramoncamus8093]

It never cease to amaze me the capability of humans to possess extreme talent like yours. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@robertoalexandre4250]

One of the outstanding features of Mr. Redzic's artistry is his shaping of every note into an equally shaped phrase - dynamically and colorwise - in a kind of "narrative" which is the wonderful music we experience. His right hand produces different colors and dynamics effortlessly and without any radical shifts. Like a writer who starts with the meaningful sentence, and then creates a meaningful paragraph and then another, and another and says something meaningful in a superbly well-crafted text that represents language at its most concentrated. Mr. Radzic is the instrument who seemingly dissappears so that we only experience the musical statement. This is another level of guitar playing that transcends the mere digital facility or technique of just very talented players. This is the kind of musicianship one experiences among the world class performers of other instruments. The guitar is indeed doing well with musicians (not just mere players or guitarrists) like Mr. Redzic who I would number among the top 10, 5 or 3 currently active such as Paul Galbraight, Marcyn Dilla et al. Even among the créme de la créme, Mr. Redzic is in a class of his own. This whole Bach Suite congels into a single organically-structured musical narrative from the Allemand to the Chaconne. And it is thus that his first-rate musical mind conveys the beauty, essence and profound transcendental feelings and emotions. What a rare moving experience! With deep appreciation for your artistry, intelligence and musical soul which bring much joy and pathos.

[@doctorshawzy6477]

Only an amateur who has struggled with his guitar for 55 years knows the effort need to reach this level. Rich sound from the instrument..and don't forget Bach who was the voice of god....

[@gallacaecilia8009]

Poignant line and apt comment... thank you, dear Meister Redzic, for this profound performance. Compliments from Germany :)

[@sebastianbecher8927]

Figgy 4 hahaha what an idiot comment.

[@yxilo3526]

@Figgy 4 epic comment

[@garyrickard1147]

@Figgy 4 What does that even mean?

[@karelcuchal1550]

OK, I AGREE.

[@danbreyfogle8486]

I do not play an instrument of any kind, I do not have a trained ear to judge any performance, and I have not studied musical theory, so any comment I make is purely as a listener who knows what he likes when he hears it. I found this to be flawless in execution and the video production to be first rate. Again, no education or qualifications to make such statements. But as one that enjoys classical music I found this a wonderful performance and like some have mentioned, who in the world gives this a thumbs down? What were they expecting to see or hear that wasn't there? Great video and performance.

[@rmlevyPhD]

One of Bach's most inspiring pieces. I listen to it often. An amazing performance.

[@PeterFellin]

One of the best most appropriately sounding Partita 2 renditions, possible!👌👏👏👏

[@RickLord1]

What an achievement - gorgeous playing and video production.

[@bekanav]

Very very good! He plays even fast parts meaningfully, expressing fine details and emotions. He plays both strongly and sensitively. Sound quality is excellent. He understands counterpoint, he doesn't rush, his articulation is clear, he has much more dynamics in his play than most... One of the best for sure!

[@goscott444]

_Did someone say, "He knocked it out of the park?_ _The Chaconne was simply AMAZING!__GOD bless you Sanel!_

[@liveyourbestlife1513]

In the Chaconne, it always amazes me how Bach juxtaposes such tense and dissonant chords to form a beautiful song.

[@ezequielstepanenko3229]

If I could only play on piece for the rest of my life that would be the chaconne

[@STR82DVD]

193 people disliked this performance?!? Who? Why? Clean exacting playing. Impeccable sound. Bach played with all the emotion, bravado and sensitivity that Bach deserves. Thank you young man.

[@GataIsabel]

No excuses. Sorry to say those 193 individuals might have a limited soul and sensitivity

[@STR82DVD]

@@GataIsabel I completely agree.

[@TheBladeSephara]

193 individuals who are quite preoccupied playing Smoke on The Water out-of-tune on floor Schecter models in guitar centers around the country.

[@STR82DVD]

@Petercross Agreed.

[@icitlalistardust9060]

Those 193 are deaf.. and they are frustrated of not being able to listen to that wonder... only possible explanation !

[@jmlineb]

Words can simply not express how much I love this performance, or how many times I have watched it over the last few days. It is truly Bach as worship.

[@jans5331]

You make everybody to think it is easy, but believe me it is so hard to play this well! Only a very few can do it as good as this. I assume many,many hours study and practice is needed to reach this level of excellence. Many thanks for this wonderful music !!

[@irukandjedi]

I have heard all the modern guitar interpretations of this piece under the Sun (KZbin). This one is absolutely unbeatable. The only one who may be able to improve on this may be Sanel himself! Bravo!

[@gordanabogdan2950]

Koliko je samo dubine utkano u svaki ton, u svaki pokret leve, a posebno desne ruke. Gospodine Redžić, Vi sa godinama dobijate sve ono što Bahove note traže. I duh, i intelekt, i srce. Slušajuci Vaše sviranje već nekoliko godina unazad i prateći sve ono što snimite, sa zadovoljstvom primećujem kako svaki novi snimak odaje za nijansu dublji duhovni zanos i Vaše promišljanje Bahove muzike. Ne mogu ni da zamislim kako će Bahove note, koje budete svirali za nekoliko godina, zvučati. Ako se iko uspeo približiti gotovo savršenom sviranju klasične gitare, to ste, u ovom momentu, svakako Vi. Samo, molim Vas, budite i dalje toliko temeljni i uporni u traženju značenja Bahove muzike.Ta dubina prosto nema kraj...

Absolutely astonishing. Only a few guitarist can interpret the vibe of Bach. Playing Bach does not soley really on a musicians skill. Instead, music intuned with the spirit is a abstract essence of connection between man and musical tranquility. TIMELESS performance. Thank you
