Brava! Rarely does one hear Bach played with such intensity and soul. Truly marvelous performance.

[@azamtadzhibaev5301]

Боже какая глубина, как правильно расставлены акценты, какая динамика невероятное исполнение!

[@LaGuitarrayYo]

Finally! You allow the music to breath and don't try to show off, a truly fantastic performance Gohar! STUNNING!

[@TomTwain]

How... on earth... can this have even a single dislike ? Absolutely stunning... playing, recording, sound... it's got the whole bundle !!

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thank you!

[@paulogoncalves6760]

Bach forever in our hearts, and his musical depth Gohar Beautiful.

[@enricopg1]

Wow! What a fantastic performance!!!

[@theobenjamin]

Beautifully done, Gohar! 👏👏👏 Absolutely loved it! The tempo of the prelude is so appropriate, and the way you transition to the Fugue, which was breathtaking, and each movement after till the Double so immaculately done! Bravo!!

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@irvingrabin]

It doesn't sound like music from centuries ago. In contrary, it is a very modern and clear sound, which pleases ears and soul. Simple and beautiful! Thank you.

[@scottbrandenberg9567]

Incredible performance Gohar!! The Sarabande was my favorite…until you played the Gigue…until that Double. How did you sustain such a legato bass line on that final movement? Amazing. Thanks for sharing this.

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thank you!!!! I’m glad you enjoyed it!!!! I usually practice everything very slowly, which allows me to hear when notes get cut off… I always try to keep the bass line connected, it makes everything sound more legato. Unfortunately, there were some places I couldn’t connect the notes as well, because I had to reuse the same left hand finger on different strings.

[@scottbrandenberg9567]

@@GoharVardanyan Thanks Gohar for sharing your approach. Slow practice is a pretty amazing method! In addition to sustaining the bass notes for the required duration, I think legato playing requires a continuity of volume and tone that you handled very well. I understand there are times when your fingers simply can't hold a note, but you made it seem very connected.

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thank you! Yes, slow practice is magical, I highly recommend it! It's mentally exhausting though hahaha :)

[@freddievaldez6587]

Upon reading further down in the comments I learned that she did have the score in front of her for certain passages. Her humility makes her all the more beautiful. She's a fantastic artist.

[@thelevinegroup2552]

It is good to see you still putting music out. Thank you for sharing your music with the world. :)

[@user-gk9yk8rf8i]

Теперь я точно знаю, что значит "убить двух зайцев") Это когда красивая девушка красиво играет на гитаре) Сам преподаю гитару, играю некоторые части из лютневых сюит, и поэтому знаю, какой колоссальный труд был Вами проделан, прежде чем Бах зазвучал красиво и убедительно. Мне тоже нравится, когда темп более умеренный. Когда эта прелюдия играется быстро, у меня, например, возникает чувство, как будто я не успеваю насладиться красотой пьесы. Вообще, мне кажется, Бахом надо, прежде всего наслаждаться. С большим удовольствием послушал сюиту в вашем исполнении. Благодарствуем! Так держать! Добра Вам, здоровья и удачи!

[@bengt-olenordstrom1315]

Gitar med denne typen musikk må være for folk med stor tålmodighet. Men vakkert er det!

[@gabrielem.765]

This is my favourite. In Bach's music, things that are impossible to play on the guitar as written. But they can be wonderful if you play like you did. Fantastic performance!

[@HarryVerey]

Really outstanding performance of this beautiful music.. I have listened to a number of renditions of music from this suite (very few complete renditions) by top players on YT and this I have enjoyed the most. Incredible mental stamina, technique and and artistic integrity. Fine audio recording too.

[@robertd3564]

I know I just posted - but upon listnening to to this for a second time? well this is just crazy good. The melody talking above the walking bass in the final movement is just killer. Wow...

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thank you for watching again!!! Bach is amazing, if you just play all the notes and bring them out in a linear fashion, his music does the rest ! 🥰

[@SmartClassicalGuitar]

Nice performance, Gohar! At every point, you guided the listener’s attention through the beauty of this masterwork by Bach.

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thanks for listening! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@goscott444]

Nice? She blows everyone else out of the water on this one! 😁

[@MrGUSARIK]

This performance almost killed me becase i forgot to breath for 20 min. Great, impeacable. Absolutely love it

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thank you very much!!!! 🥰 But please please please breathe!!!! I don’t want to be responsible for the lost brain cells from lack of oxygen hahaha 🤣

[@electriclute]

Absolutely stunning performance Gohar !!!

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thank you Neil!!! 😁😁😁

[@GuitarraparaTODOSgt]

Bach es tan difícil, y lo interpretas tan bien!!! Simplemente asombroso!!!

[@user-lx3nq5zc9s]

Wonderful performance & rendition!💕👍👍👍

[@RickLord1]

A beautiful performance with superb expression and control. Thank you for this Gohar!

[@alexhall6375]

Stunning … simply stunning performance, 👏🏻 bravo!

[@Jeguia85]

I love your playing, not only the technical aspects of your playing, but your interpretation of every music you play is inspirational. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@robertd3564]

I may be getting old, but I always considered Sharon Isben's rendition of this the definative version. But as new players come along they raise the bar, and you are certainly one of them. I would love to hear you explore and perform more baroque music -kind of like the way John Williams did with his "The Baroque Album" collection back in the day. Besides the usual suspects (lol) of Bach and Scarlatti, there are lots of little gems that are rarely played by world class players like you who have a spotlight and an opportunity to bring musical magic into this world. Roncalli and a lot of neglected works by S.L. Weis (outside of his suites or 'sonatas') come to mind. Wonderful performance! You never cease to impress! Much love....

[@reynaldo121]

Ms. Vardanyan holds a Master of Music Degree from The Juilliard School where she studied with Sharon Isbin.

So lovely. Thanks for sharing it with us. I enjoyed it from start to finish.

[@Mandoline2007]

C’est absolument extraordinaire comme interprétation!👍 Bravo et quelle sonorité vous faite ma journée! Merci!😁🙏

[@StopFear]

Some musicians are just more pleasant to look at play than others because of some small things they do. Maybe a facial expression maybe the way they move their hand. I think Gohar is such wonderful musician which makes viewed appreciate her face and eyes because of how they connect to the guitar.

[@mahyarimanverdi3648]

Hi Gohar I am kissing your holly hands from far away(Australia) Bach &Barrios&Albeniz,composites are just made for your playing Grandios,as usual 👏👏👏
