Sylvius Leopold Weiss - Suite II (Prelude, Courante, Sarabande, Gigue)

[@massimolonardi7886]

Bravissima Petra, bel suono e fraseggio chiarissimo, espressivo e stilisticamente appropriato

[@beataeschlimann205]

A tous égards une approche musicale et guitaristique merveilleuse de l'oeuvre de ce très grand compositeur que fut Silvius Leopold Weiss. Merci infiniment pour m'avoir permis de ressentir la musique de ce grand homme tel que je la sens. Une musique empreinte de délicatesse, de profondeur, d'amour du monde du son tel que pouvaient le ressentir ces grands compositeurs baroque. In all respects a marvelous musical and guitaristic approach to the work of this great composer who was Silvius Leopold Weiss. Thank you so much for allowing me to feel the music of this great musician as I feel it. Music imbued with delicacy, depth, love of the world of sound as these great Baroque composers felt.

Stunning. Personally I think the composer would have loved to have heard his work on a multi-stringed guitar. To my ears, these pieces on lute pale in comparison for depth and tone. The playing is exquisite.

I first bonded with this music through a record by Narciso Yepes. I like hers just as much if not more. Petra is a marvel.

[@TalentedDilittante]

Beautiful! . . . Great musicianship! Great music! If it is true that "organists sitteth on the right hand of God," then guitarists of your wonder are above, "perched on the highest rafters of cathedrals."

[@marctucciaronemusic7738]

What an incredibly huge musical impression she leaves with anything she plays !!! I bet she would sound great on any instrument !!!

Guitar goddess

[@wapolo1974]

Wonderful; that's the way to play on Weiss on the guitar.

[@mistermac4]

Another stunning performance, where even the grace of her body-gestures in execution seem to contribute to the aesthetic insights. The Sarabande was nothing less than contemplation of the devine, here Petra was fully at one with the composer himself, we felt his presence

[@PUPAK02]

Radost pohledět a poslouchat. Bravo.

What beautiful playing of this lovely suite. Thanks from New Zealand

[@rdkinley]

An exceptional artiste, both technically and emotively.

[@humphreyterveer1338]

Brava, my teacher played this suite years and years a go, and its a pleasure to hear this suite after so many years be played by you. Many thanks!

[@joseluisdiazsuarez5909]

Brilliant! Beautiful...

[@frankhorvath817]

Ms Poláčková's technique and interpretation are marvelous. Truly a pleasure to hear this lovely performance. I'm not familiar with this suite, but no doubt it was written for lute. It looks like a bear for the left hand on this Stauffer style guitar with its long scale, but it does have quite quite an impressive voice.

[@oscilis]

Such beautiful playing.

[@eligiobratus8157]

Bravissima, esecuzione molto raffinata!

[@aybee5908]

To play Barock Lute music on a 9-string guitar is very meaningful. That`s more close to a Lute, than push through on 6 strings and sounds more original. Allthough there are other compositions of Weiss I prefer more, the Suite Nr. 2 is very well performed by Petra Polackova. Thanks for sharing.

[@hiroprotagonist8937]

Amazing

[@monikmaldonado6606]

È sempre un vero piacere ascoltarti Petra. Grandissima ❤️❤️

[@Petra51234]

Grazie mille!

[@TonKuipers134]

I have already listened several times to your performance and it is really beautiful. The Weiss parts of his suites are mostly all very balanced and have their own color. The way you play the Sarabande is fenomenal. Thanks again for posting this beautiful concert.

Muy bonito el guiño a la versión de Hopkinson Smith en la repetición de la segunda parte de la Giga... 😉

I play a modern 10-string guitar, but it doesn't sound anything like this one. I really like the sound of the early guitar designs. Petra certainly does it justice with her flawless performance.

[@carlosmanuelpicos6494]

que bonita su guitarra, felicidades por la música 👍

[@paulblanchet542]

Absolutely beautiful! Are the top six strings of your guitar tuned liked a modern classical guitar or to a d minor chord, like a baroque lute?

[@Petra51234]

Tuned as a modern classical guitar, then d, c#, b on the bass strings. Lute tuning would be possible too.

[@carlosgustavomunozrodrigue3960]

Creo que la afinación de los bordones puede ser: grados conjuntos (D, C, B) pero también puede afinarse según la tonalidad de la obra que se está ejecutando. En la guitarra de 10 cuerdas es D,C,B,A pero hay afinación moderna. En fin, aumentan las posibilidades de expresión y de transcrupción. Saludos.

[@toddbrooks1548]

Wait, what the .... you made this guitar too??? Very impressed! Simply great playing, thank you for posting. Subscribed.

Very Nice! Is this arrangement published? I play an 8 string guitar and would like to adapt to it if possible

Thank you. Yes, its published by Ruggero Chiesa. Big book with many sonatas ;)

Beautiful performance! I love music of this age. I wonder if it is possible to contact you on Facebook, because I tried, but I wasn't able.

[@williamyelverton-music7072]

Since you're using 9 course, you should use Weiss's tuning. The nuance, clusters, and sustain implied in his fingerings would be a revelation to you. It was for me. I resisted learning the fdafda tuning for years. Glad I did. The music falls under the left hand much more easily and the sound is better.

[@seanmarshall7529]

I agree, you play very well.. thoughtful intelligent I love this piece.. always have.. in this last 40 some years I've been listening to it.. Question... Why not play it on its native instrument? Form me your instrument has a very "guitar like" sound.. to much LOL.. Your playing is suppperb!

[@hindenburg1596]

Because shes a guitarist?

[@seanmarshall7529]

@@hindenburg1596 your answer brings for what I know of the horizon effect.. (my reflection), brought out by the games between Deep Blue and Spassky. S.'s pawn in position 4 was disregarded as a threat.. the pawn went to 5 (oversimplification) the computer regarded its evaluation of the previous move and decided to disregard... She's a guitarist, so she will continue to be a guitarist.. Nah.. look at how many instruments John Hopkinson-Smith plays... evolution is always possible!
