I always thought it was impossible to do justice to the Weiss Tombeau on a 6 string guitar, but this has proved me wrong. Wonderful transcription, gorgeous ornamentations, beautifully played.

Very precise, deliberate and thoughtful playing. Incredible interpretation and technique. Perhaps the best performance of this piece i have ever heard.

Infinite sensitivity and mastery. It is no coincidence that you have always been one of Angelo Gilardino's favorite guitarists. 👏👏👏

Very evocative - beautiful playing that really transports into the depth of sound, history, musical memories..

Great transcription for 6-string guitar in original key! 3:48 - 4:03 sounds like harpsichord. Bravo!

[@classicalguitarplanet]

A beautiful and exquisite performance in every way. The level of musical depth and sensitivity is almost overwhelming, despite the instrument's limited octave range. Still only a great guitar can take so little string tension and sound so good.

[@tilmanhoppstock146]

Thank you very much for the nice comment. About the low tension: It is the opposite, because on this guitar with this tuning there is more tension. Why? As 1st string I use a normal B-string, as 2nd string I use a normal G-string and so on. The 5th string is now a normal E-string and the 6th string is also an E-string but extra hard tension.... So I read the piece in D minor, but because of the different positions of the strings the whole piece sounds a fourth lower: A minor. And than I tuned the whole guitar 1/2 note higher and it finally sounds the original key Bb minor. And... with more tension, which is even better because of the extreme low sound....that's the trick. I use this guitar with the same tuning for other pieces by Froberger. I hope these infos are useful for you.

[@classicalguitarplanet]

Thanks for the clarification Maestro, much appreciated. I still think it's a great guitar, especially in your hands.

[@veetguitar]

Can we hope for a published transcription? This is simply too good!

Tilman Hoppstock remains unsurpassed for (but not only!) baroque music .

[@denysmelnykov57]

Grandios!

[@paullee5449]

[@nebovas9432]

Great performance and another proof that standard tuning is limiting the guitar sound and possibilities. Anything lower sounds better.

[@martinschumacher5750]

Virtuosität und musikalisches Einführungvermögen optimal verbunden!

[@rjlchristie]

Commendable, this works better other (6 string) guitar transcriptions, and you have a great robust non-naily tone. But it remains to me a frustrating a compromise on 6 strings compared to the baroque lute or guitars with extra bordons such as the one Petra Polackova used for the same work.
