[@shin-i-chikozima]

This performance he plays with exquisite skill and incomparable technique is beyond description , immeasurable , unfathomable , inspirational , specutacular and comfortable to the ear and the mind This sound he plays is full of the deep nostalgia and i remember my late beloved mother It's graciously a final phase of the supreme bliss that listen to his magnificent performance Form Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵

[@иваннечипоренко-ю7р]

Замечательно, слушать эту музыку в исполнении мастера - истинное наслаждение....

[@dDubyaMusic]

Already one of my favorite classical songs but then hearing how incredibly beautiful and dark it sounds in this version, gives me goosebumps everytime. Phenomenal musician. Incredible instrument.

[@jackjohnhameld6401]

We are privileged indeed to hear Xavier Diaz-Latorre play Biber's Passacaglia. This lute is a work of art and craftsmanship played by a master.

[@zavilov]

If the average pianist listened to this and internalized the magic, they would really have things to say. This goes for any musician of course. It amazes me that really great playing survives in such an unfortunately niche world.

[@christianbruno1756]

It’s not a piano ya square it’s got more in common with a guitar Piano would make this sound boring stale

[@geuros]

​@@christianbruno1756 as a pianist I agree, but I think the OP meant something different. This playing has such a charm, there's soul, there's depth and no unnecessary drama. Most winners of most prestigious piano competitions don't have 1/1000th of this level of musicality. We have some amazing musicians too, but honestly, it's probably less than 10 living pianists worth listening to if you're into music and not mindless beating of the piano.

[@tobiasstudtheol]

​@geuros , well, look into HIP keyboard players, and you will find all that you see lacking in modern pianists.

[@johndewey6358]

Thank you Maestro Xavier for creatively breathing a new life in to this wonderful pieace by Biber. 🎉

[@AlimentodosDeuses]

The Rosary Sonatas (Rosenkranzsonaten, also known as the Mystery Sonatas or Copper-Engraving Sonatas) by Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber are a collection of 15 short sonatas for violin and continuo, with a final passacaglia for solo violin. Each has a title related to the Christian Rosary devotion practice and possibly to the Feast of the Guardian Angels. It is presumed that the Mystery Sonatas were completed around 1676, but they were unknown until their publication in 1905. The music of Biber was never entirely forgotten due to the high technical skill required to play many of his works; this is especially true of his works for violin. Once rediscovered, the Mystery Sonatas became Biber's most widely known composition. The work is prized for its virtuosic vocal style, scordatura tunings and its programmatic structure.

[@wj98983]

Is this chaconne part of the Mystery sonatas?

[@AlimentodosDeuses]

You, sir, have touched a soul today, for which I am grateful. May you be blessed as many times as this superb rendition touches and blesses others. Thank you for sharing!

Usted, señor, ha tocado un alma hoy, por lo que estoy agradecido. Que seas bendecido tantas veces como esta magnífica interpretación toque y bendiga a otros. ¡Gracias por compartir!

[@NickGravestock]

Impressive transcription, incredible to think it was written for solo violin

[@Hillepupp]

...the never ending flow of life...thank yo so much.

[@chestermajos880]

Great performance and great instrument. Thank you for sharing.

[@8888Rik]

As a former "classical" guitarist (I played mostly late-20th and early 21st-century music, but with a great affinity for Renaissance and Baroque music), I've been listening to Diaz-Latorre's music for some years now. He is truly a marvelous musician. This piece is new to me, and really exquisite.

[@rfv618]

This piece is originally for violin of all things. This is a great transcription

[@8888Rik]

@@rfv618 Interesting. My experience was that violin works were generally relatively easy to transcribe for guitar, whereas lute compositions often presented significant difficulties in transcription to guitar

[@MrInterestingthings]

I luv all things Biber so I had to hear the master Diaz-Latorre in this after hearing the DeVisee ! Wonderful !

[@krimhildburgund7634]

Was für eine wunderbare Musik. Vielen Dank! Es ist unglaublich schön und tut soooo gut.

I still remember that great gig in Savigliano, north west of Italy, with Jordi Savall, and looking forward to see you again in concert. Thanks, Maestro.

[@laberintosingeniosos]

Bel posto, mi ricordo! saluti

[@christopherheinig5590]

Jordi Savall another maestro !

[@EmilianoGirina]

Due dei più grandi maestri viventi. Savall è secondo me il maggior interprete vivente della viola da gamba ... molto lontano dal secondo in classifica.
