Getting it right with the two very different temperaments must be really arduous...

Oh my goodness, the moment at 8:20ish when it goes major is heavenly on the koto!!

Don't open up Japan to masses of foreigners. We did in Europe, and this music is already being suppressed HERE.

何回も何回も繰り返し拝聴しています。 何の楽器で演奏されているか、そんなことは超越した素晴らしいバッハだと思います。是非生涯を通じて向き合ってくださいね。

The performance also demands preternatural understanding of exactly how the movement of the bridges alters the pitch AND ALL IN THE CONTEXT OF THE PASSAGES BEING PLAYED IN REAL TIME.......THIS ACCOMPLISHMENT SEEMS BEYOND HUMAN CAPABILITY.........YET......SHE HAS PERFORMED THE ENTIRE PIECE WITHOUT ERROR......MY LIFE IS PERMANENTLY CHANGED........................

Miraculous.

Мне кажется Бах на исповеди у Бога, а мы в очереди на исповедь к Баху...

Das Stück ist und bleibt ein Wunder! Vielen lieben Dank an die Interpretin, die mir wieder einmal einem neuen Raum des Bach-Universums eröffnet hat. Wie ich einmal einer japanischen Musikstudentin schrieb: "Wann immer ich es höre, es ist immer dasselbe: es ist anders!" この曲は今も昔も素晴らしい！ バッハの世界にまた新たな空間を開いてくれた通訳に感謝する。 以前、日本の音大生に書いたことがある。"いつ聴いても、いつも同じ：違う！"と。 The piece is and remains a wonder! Many thanks to the interpreter, who once again opened up a new space in the Bach Universe for me. As I once wrote to a Japanese music student: "Whenever I hear it, it's always the same: it's different!"

Beautiful!

Assolutamente emozionante e commovente esecuzione!!! Conoscevo molto poco il koto giapponese come strumento e la sua storia, sapevo solo che si tratta di uno strumento tradizionale e che affonda la sua storia nei secoli, strettamente legata alla storia tradizionale giapponese! Ma non avrei mai immaginato che questo incredibile strumento, così difficile e complesso, potesse essere suonato in maniera così affascinante e sublime, e con tanto profondo sentimento!!! 😢La Maestro Maya Kimura è Straordinaria, ed il suo strumento una Meraviglia Assoluta!!! Grandissima!!! Vorrei abbracciarla!!!

Maya Kimura is herself a form of music in this amazing performance!

NAMASTE!

素晴らしいコンセプト、演奏だと思いました。 CD光る空、購入させていただきました！

私は昔この曲を鈴木雅明氏によるオルガン独奏で聴いてしまったものですから、そういうものだと刷り込まれてしまっていました。 不意にこの動画が現れて、和楽器の箏でも弾けるんだとびっくりしました。 バッハが聴いたらどう思うんだろ？ でも、ハープシコードでも「箏か？」と思うようなストップもあるから、案外抵抗はないのかも知れない。

Maya Kimura has entered into the universe of Bach's grief on the passing of his first wife, and the universe of grief itself.

This performance extends the limits of beauty.

❤❤❤

Very impressive. Thank you. Have no words.

No entiendo por qué el instrumento está en el piso y no sobre una mesa ????? 🤔

Wow!

素晴らしい❣️バッハもさぞ驚いていることでしょう👏👏👏

面白いよね。　この楽器にいろんな可能性を感じる。

Excellent

Qué maravillosa interpretación del padre de la música JSBACH en el koto!!! Me hizo derramar lágrimas de emoción. Si JSB la hubiera escuchado seguramente coincidirá conmigo en que es una pieza maestra pero estra sonoridad y sensibilidad del instrumento es capaz de imprimirle aun más melodia y belleza !!! Amo a JSBach desde niña y hoy dia me he vuelto a enamorar de su chacona! Alguna vez la ibterprete pero esta version excede cualquier expectativa posible Es un epitome de belleza y perfección. Felicito a la maravillosa artista por tan increíble ibterpretacion....llego a mi alma.

This is absolutely wonderful!

Work quite well. It is violin solo and hence no accompaniment or pedal mix chord effect. In fact I might work in those musical equipment in Bach time. He is too sad to think through it.

exquisite 👋 🙏

琴がこんなにシャコンヌに命を与える楽器だったって、‼️目から鱗でした。 琴の可能性を大きく世界へと拓いた演奏ですね♥️♥️♥️ 様々な楽器での演奏を知っていますが、これは聴きごたえがあります。 素晴らしい演奏でした。 ブラヴォー‼️ 他のバッハの作品もたくさん手掛けてほしいですね。

Toutes mes félicitations ! Et un grand grand merci !!!

Exquisite. Deeply moving. I will be forever grateful to you for interpreting and performing this simply miraculous piece of music. (I hope this translates well into Japanese!)

Bravo!

Exceptionnel!

Simply wonderful !

Normally koto players play it sitting down. This koto is significantly larger so the poor girl Maya Kimura has to bend over it to get all that beauty out of it. Luckily she is a young woman. An older obasan would be screaming in pain.

Браво!!!

Maya, prazer em conhecer você! Sensível! Obstinada! Alma antiga e perfumada! Obrigada por compartilhar teu amor por esta arte!

Truly amazing.

Ceci donne l'impression que Bach a inventé cet instrument tant cette musique semble faite pour lui. Je le découvre émerveillé sous les doigts d'un sublime interprète. Un grand merci.

Too slow

Amazing music making. I do worry about her back.

one of the few reasons to ever WACTH music. Proof of the existence of the human species. Mr. Bach.

moving and inspiring bravo!

The respect shown to the music by this brilliant musician is palpable.

I left a comment already but I am so impressed you have me in tears.

This must be the morning for great musicians. First on the cello now this fantastic incredible experience. You are a great musician. I know the chaconne backwards and forwards every note. I studied Bach for four years. You are such a great musician . You certainly made my day. Thank you so much.

Emozionante!!!

I love it.

What is the instrument?

What is phenomenal, and this is a stronger affirmation of your talent, is the fact, if I understand weel that your instrument has the strings that must be accorded while you are playing it! I listened to a lot of interpretations of this wonderful piece of music, and it seems to me that all the rest are more confortable to paly! In the violin, the alto, the cello, the guitar, the accordeon, the nickelharpa, and so on, they don't have to accord the strings while playing, and they don"t have to have a posture so stressing!!! Bravo to you!

Great transcription...but my back hurts just from watching it
