As a retired and former cathedral choirmaster and organist AND professional violist, I am extremely impressed at this arrangement AND your magnificent playing of this work. Bravo!
@@aguidner7285 a commenter's background can make a compliment mean more. If I play guitar and Eddie Van Halen tells me that I am playing well, then I would feel much more confident and proud of my work. You can get that same feeling from a family member praising you, but it's not quite the same. It doesn't necessarily mean the commenter wants to brag
This is the right instrument for this piece, other than the organ. Violin is too high; my cello is too low. Viola is just right! Beautiful performance. The room space in which you are playing has wonderful resonance. Bravo!
I didn't think anything other than the organs would be more scary but that was absolutely beautiful and soul chilling. I swear Bach must have been the most morbid man alive
I have seen many viola players playing this Toccata and Fugue, but Mr. Uszynski is certainly unique in performing this suffisticated masterpiece so perfectly and in a virtuosity spirit . Just wonderful..
I’m a young viola player, I’ve only been playing for about 3 years now and I hope that one day I can get to this point! Such a beautiful piece. You really did it justice!
I showed this video to my 10 year old daughter - your playing was so beautiful that she fell in love with the viola and will start to learn how to play herself! Thank you for your brilliant playing. I enjoy your arrangement as much or even more than the original version played with the organ. What a gift you have!
Thank you for your comment. It makes me very happy to hear that I could be part of making your daughter to fall in love with the Viola and inspire her to learn this beautiful instrument. I wish her all the best and success. I would like to gift her one of my signed CDs. Hope she will be happy and stay motivated this way:) You can find my contact mail on my website. All the best, Lech Antonio
I mean, a Viola. The contralto voice in the string ensemble, how could it not be so poignantly beautiful?!?! Her range, her tonal warmth, her underrated yet essential presence ❤ Magnificent playing, Maestro Uszynski, such gorgeous lessons in music you are graciously giving to us! God bless.
Man this guy can play! I've recently started learning Viola again after a long gap away playing guitar and drums. Although I'm learning folk and country fiddle style, I really love this performance.
I have never heard this piece played so wonderfully on a string instrument! The combination of the acoustics and quality of the woods lends a wonderful audio quality to this rendition, too. Definitely encourages me to practice my own viola playing even if I won’t reach this level… That was nearly as a good as Primrose.
161 likes and no one single dislike, that's quite and achievement in social media. And yet, no wonder. Such a beautiful rendition, I will definitely show this to my daughter (she is learning viola and will surely love this one). Thanks indeed for the video and for the music.
No jinx yet...5.5K likes!! An absolutely stellar performance of a divinely inspired work describing mankind and its ups and downs. I wish my viola mastery could be a fraction of this, but I am still trying.
Lieber Lech, ich bin ganz hingerissen von deiner fantastischen Darbietung. Wunderschön und trotz grosser Virtuosität sehr berührend. Und tolle Akustik, deshalb auch mein Dank an die Zunft! Werde das Video fleissig weiterleiten...
Liebe Ute. Vielen herzlichen Dank. Es freut mich sehr, dass er dir gefallen hat und ich bin immer sehr dankbar fürs weiterleiten. Hoffentlich auf bald. Liebe Grüsse, Lech
Absolutely overwhelming!! just magnificent and beautiful - Does anyone by the way know where you can find the sheets ? Thank you so much for the playing I can't stop listening to this !
This piece suits the viola perfectly. It would have to be played an octave higher on a violin and the high notes on the violin would sound very piercing which isn’t pleasant on the ear at all. The piece would also sound too low on a cello and the lower notes on a cello would just run in together, making it sound muffled.
Ton perfectionnisne et ta parfait maîtrise de ton instrument et interprétation, nous offre une véritable oeuvre, de la Toccata de J*S Bach....Bravo, je t'adore *
Incredible version for viola Mr. Uszynski!! Always i listen this song for another instruments ( violin and cello) but, this is the 1st time that i listen it for viola...i'm studying violin but also i would like to play viola. Greettings from Mexico
What strings and their gauges do you use? Rosin? Make of instrument? please tell us. Your viola is extremely well balanced in sound and color and evenness all across the 4 strings. It is a remarkable sound!!!
I play exclusively on the wonderful strings by @ThomastikInfeldVienna C & G - Spirocore / D - PI / A - Rondo My Viola was made in 1690 by Hendrick Willems. My favorite rosin is @leatherwoodrosin
Holy shit… I’ve been trying to learn to play viola on my own (no teachers where I live) and I’ve been frustrated to the point of forgetting all about it. This lit a freaking fire again!
Me apareció este video como sugerencia. Lo vi, y realmente la interpretación es increíblemente hermosa. So amazing, so amazing jeje. Lograr una sensación tan profunda, tan característico de la viola, y con esa obra que elegiste, has logrado una interpretación exclusiva. Estoy aprendiendo a tocar dicho instrumento y la verdad que es maravilloso. Saludos desde Córdoba, Argentina !!!
Impressive arrangement. Compared to my viola arrangement of this piece (available on IMSLP), there are places that are similar and those that are different. I have always wondered whether or not I went far enough in my arrangement to fit in as much music as possible.

As a student violist I am glad to hear such a lovely rendition of my favorite fugue
I have played violin and viola at various times. I’ve always favored the viola as underdog.
Wonderful!
@@aguidner7285 May be he hasn't any other place to do so.
This is the right instrument for this piece, other than the organ. Violin is too high; my cello is too low. Viola is just right! Beautiful performance. The room space in which you are playing has wonderful resonance. Bravo!
Thank you for your kind comment. I also felt while studying this piece that it suits the timbre of the Viola very well.
That's right. Down with those squeaky baby violas. Viola Gang for life.
Agree
@@kishascapeikrrrr I play viola as well I just started and like I hope I’m as a good as him I play 7 instruments
BEAUTIFUL!!! I actually prefer the sound of the viola over violin
Me too;)
I didn't think anything other than the organs would be more scary but that was absolutely beautiful and soul chilling. I swear Bach must have been the most morbid man alive
Note remotely. Most of his work couldn't be described as scary or chilling at all.
Agree

Just wonderful..
This is wonderful - really great testimony to the amazing range of a viola. I feel it is an underappreciated instrument by many.

Great
4:57 It sounds like there is another viola in the room next dolor
amazing dynamics
The viola is so underappreciated
L.A.U. has this viola singing like a violin! Love it!
This is one of the videos that I use to show what a viola can really do. Thank you for playing and thank you for sharing!

This piece is absolutely brutal on the viola
The best kept secret , hidden in plain sight. Sound ! Capturing a symphony. Brilliance ! Thank you for your sacrifice and excellents
Man this guy can play! I've recently started learning Viola again after a long gap away playing guitar and drums. Although I'm learning folk and country fiddle style, I really love this performance.
completely breathtaking!!! I'm touched
Very kind! Thank you.
La viola más épica que he escuchado en mi vida, increíble.
The first time I heard BWV565
with viola. Nice play!
Spine tingling. Exceptional. Incredible.

Yeah this is a beautiful rendition and the Viola has amazing tone for it
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve listened to this! Absolutely beautiful! 🖤
Looks like we have a viola patron here! It's astonishing. Both performance and performer.
Just absolutely amazing ❤
Thank you very much!

This piece was so clearly written for the viola. I don’t know why there’s still a debate about it.

Porque nada existe mais sublime!
弧線を揺さぶる旋律は神が寄り添い見守るような至宝の演奏です。 バッハが降臨したような錯覚を覚えました。
What a beautiful viola! I'm also a musician, my viola is made with wood in my country 🇧🇷 The sound is very similar
So much richer a sound than the violin!! Bravo!
Bravo Mtro Lech 💐
Asombroso !
Desde Argentina
What a wonderfull interpretation! Bravo! Bravíssimo!
Que hermosa motivación para seguir practicando con la viola 💕
This is amazing how well Antonio played the viola.
Beautiful sound, and great job with all of the polyphony. Bravo
Breathtaking! Thank you!
Bach would love you x
I really hope so:)
Wow! This is absolutely superb! Bravo!
This is sooo awesome mate!! Im 15 years and you´ve been my main inspiration for learning Viola! Have greetings from one of your fans from Mexico!
Dear Franco. Thanks for your kind comment. Excited to hear that! I wish you all the best on your musical path😊🎻
Perfect!!! Wow! Thanks very much for posting this.
Hammer! and respect. Such a brillant and defined sounding viola!
Incredible version for viola Mr. Uszynski!!
Always i listen this song for another instruments ( violin and cello) but, this is the 1st time that i listen it for viola...i'm studying violin but also i would like to play viola. Greettings from Mexico
Im not a musician or artist of any sort. That aside, this is jaw dropping impressive. A remdetion of perfection perhaps. I love it.
Oh my, I got chills all over! This is sooo good! Keep it up!! 🥰💯👏
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Extraordinario 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wonderful interpretation, beautiful sound!!! Thank you Maestro Lech for this moment of pleasure, indeed! From Lima Peru
Dear Alejandro. Thank you and all the best!
A wonderful instrument (the viola) a wonderful piece and a wonderful player.
Your left hand's fingers were made for playing this instrument. Very impressive. Also, I'm a little jealous 😁
Excelente. muito bom
Obrigado
You are a true viola maestro!
His instrument sound so amazing. He is playing is wonderfully.
That was absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful Violin Musin at its best, i really like it, i want to learn to play this. Violin Enthusiast Laura in UK
It‘s a VIOLA! Not a Violin.
Interpretación majestuosa! Excelente Violista y músico!
Most inspiring and well played not sure I will ever get to that level but it's sure it's fun trying. I love my Viola!

Çok güzel çalıyorsunuz.
I'm speechless, this is so beautiful
Very musical interpretation, beautiful tone!
Hermoso , escuchar esta obra mientras trabajo hace el día más bello
I’d throw 25+ years of guitar playing and my blood sweat and tears for an ounce of this talent.
Holy shit… I’ve been trying to learn to play viola on my own (no teachers where I live) and I’ve been frustrated to the point of forgetting all about it. This lit a freaking fire again!
Beautiful! An excellent performance of this piece.
Your bowmanship is mesmerizing
Thank you! It definitely is a fantastic piece to work and improve on bow control.
@@LechAntonioUszynski I bet!
great performance and good acoustics.
Amazing i love the Viola! I hope there are som pieces for solo Viola from Antonio Salieri.

Amazing performance and sound, a real inspiration for solo violists! Love the sound of your instrument, what is the body length if may ask?
Thank you for our kind comment. The Viola has a body length of 44cm.
Awesome! Such an inspiration!
Thank you that's very kind.
Bravo and thank you!
😨😱MEU DEUS, que coisa linda!
Wow… that’s really amazing
Amazing performance !!!!
Thank you so much for everything. Hopefully I will be playing it one day in Turkey:)
Absolutely fantastic! You are a legend.

I can't say how many times I rewinded 00:22. Duly incorporated.
Hermoso para mis oídos. Fascinante. Gracias !
Excelso
Que performance. Parabéns. Grato pelo show.
Dziękuję 👍
Pozdrawiam serdecznie. Bardzo się cieszę że spodobało się nagranie.
BRAVO !!!!!!
Beautiful!
Thank you☺️
Maravilhoso de ouvir!
Where can I find sheet music for this? Im interested in practicing this myself. Excellent performance, by the way. Inspires me to attempt this.
Cool arrangement and great performance!
Magnificent!
Damn that viola is resonating hard
Perfeito! Sem palavras
Wow beautiful sound, great performance! Bravo!
Thanks for listening!
Maravilhosa interpretação!
