Excellent. The problem with this Presto is to play fast AND beautiful, tasteful. This is the by far best performance of that work I've heard until today. Everything stays relaxed, notes are clear. A true pleasure to listen to.
From studying the music from Maestro Johann Sebastian I understood the complex point of his writing and the simplicity of how it should sound... Maestra Stephanie you make me believe when I listen to you, in a sacred matter, you make me think in religion, in Maestro Back´s religion as well and in the angelical message you carry within it. Blessings. Andrés
A seemingly impossible task performed flawlessly, and with panache. Stephanie, you have been added to this musical semi literate's cultural treasure list.
Congratulations Stephanie! That’s the real “ feeling “ to play this peace: strength at each note and dynamics at every phrase! An impressive achievement!
When I listen to you, I firmly believe that your mind is equally agile, prompt and accurate ... and that, at the same time, you have a full and completely sensitive soul: your way of touching has impacted me a lot.
Beautiful playing Ms. Jones! This Presto is so often a mad dash to the finish line, but so nuanced in your rendition. Thanks for sharing this lovely performance:)
Tengo 70 años, en mi vida he oído a muchos guitarristas, créanme. Y no he escuchado nada mejor que a esta joven y talentosa intérprete. Verdaderamente tiene, por un lado una técnica fabulosa, limpieza y claridad en el fraseo y en cada nota, y por otra, una fuerza interpretativa increíble. Un privilegio oirla
You are so in the zone here. You give me chills. That 18th century replica guitar sounds amazing and your talent wrings the most out. As always, I am in awe of your artistry.
I will never understand how people can give thumbs down to such vdos.... probably 15 lunatics who escaped from their asylum and believe they are Bach... thanks for this beautiful story you told me with your guitar... I had a wonderful trip and this is what music is about... taking us away... higher.... and you do it like no one.
Good comment! There is definitely a "Hitler-flunking-out-of-art-school" vibe to these particular "thumbs down"! (As if this music could even be touched by an inverted online thumb... What a futile gesture, don't you think?) I've actually stumbled upon a few comments from people who 'thumbs down' videos like this, and judging from their vocabularies, they appear to be either music-students (that probably flunked out of music school) that nit-pick the technique and style and say pompous things like, "It's not authentically Baroque" and "Bach should never be played on guitar", OR they are just your average everyday RUclips comment-section bigots, hating people for the same dumb old reasons. "She's fat, she's black, she's a lesbian," etc.
Thank you for sharing this excellent performance! Apart from the brilliant technical/musical quality I am also glad to see that young people like you are still into those classical sounds and enjoy the "unplugged" and "quiet" beauty of the great masters of the past.
...and if he SAW this, it would blow the wig off of his head! Can you imagine traveling back in time, handing a cell phone to JS Bach (before he wrote it, why not?) and having him watch this? He'd either die from the shock of it, or you'd be burning at the stake in no time.
SO, So, so well executed that it's shocking-shockingly transcendent. Anyone who has studied this Sonata-particularly the presto-will agree. And BTY, what a brilliant guitar! Never heard or seen anything like it.
Stephanie Jones, like few others, has brought the concert guitar performance up to the level of that of the great vocalists, violinists and pianists.Truly astounding in every way, not the least of which are her dynamics.
The people that put a thumbs down?This is obviously way over their heads,Thank you for this beautiful performance,The hair is so freaking cool as well☺️
Excellent. The problem with this Presto is to play fast AND beautiful, tasteful. This is the by far best performance of that work I've heard until today. Everything stays relaxed, notes are clear. A true pleasure to listen to.
Utterly mesmerising. The articulation of every note is genuinely incredible.
Couldn’t have said it better. Faultless. Seamless.
Bach , Jobim , Piazzolla...we all cant live without you pretty Stephanie !❤️
World class, Stephanie.
Indeed.
Strength, elegance, articulation and musicality. Absolutely wonderful.
Beautifully played and such wonderful dynamics 🙌🏻

Elite playing and elite interpretation. Just discovered this channel.. I'm amazed.
Stephanie, thanks a ton for sharing.
Your articulation and control over each note is simply fantastic. And that guitar, so beautiful!
I'm in awe of this woman. What an artist!
A seemingly impossible task performed flawlessly, and with panache. Stephanie, you have been added to this musical semi literate's cultural treasure list.
Congratulations Stephanie! That’s the real “ feeling “ to play this peace: strength at each note and dynamics at every phrase! An impressive achievement!
Brilliant. I love the timbre of your guitar. It has a real depth to it.
Absolutely impressive! I'm sure you make many violinists jealous with your execution.
There are up and coming artists, then there is Steph. Plays like she's been at it for fifty years.
In a way that's justification but her talent shows without doubt.
That's a special guitar for a special person!
@@glennlopez6772 She plays quite a few different guitars, all of them brilliantly. :)

That guitar looked and sounded beautiful, and was played just as beautifully.
It was *THE* strad (copy maybe)
When I listen to you, I firmly believe that your mind is equally agile, prompt and accurate ... and that, at the same time, you have a full and completely sensitive soul: your way of touching has impacted me a lot.
As flawless as it is beautiful. Its just flows and flows. Gracias!

Amazing how her playing has brought me back to the past. I love how she dwells into my being.. such a passionate performance. 👏
Beautiful playing Ms. Jones! This Presto is so often a mad dash to the finish line, but so nuanced in your rendition. Thanks for sharing this lovely performance:)
The subtle dynamics and tonal balance are phenominal. Well done!

This is one of my three most favorite pieces of music to listen to. Sie ist sehr gut.

It's about the music, the expression, nothing else - people are much too selfish.
Now they are 56
they were waiting for electronic percussions
most downvotes are just bots, dont stress on it
Played guitar 25 yrs. Never could I play this so flawlessly. You either have it or you dont. Like golf.
Une vraie"maestro" magnifique interprétation. Je fan de vous. ❤
Thank you for sharing your time and energy with us all ,
Angel hugs n Blessings to you and yours 😇
the absolute best classical guitarist in this era,, you are so subtlety articulate.
I love every performance.
Thank you for sharing this excellent performance! Apart from the brilliant technical/musical quality I am also glad to see that young people like you are still into those classical sounds
and enjoy the "unplugged" and "quiet" beauty of the great masters of the past.
all this video are a pleasure at senses, thank for this piece of art, greetings.
Absolutely flawless....thank you for your energy....
That is one gorgeous instrument!
Beautiful in every way. Thank you.
No words. Just admiration.
it's all about class, the precision of her fingers and the hair style.
She is an angel
5 years later: Still
Absolutely Marvellous!. A Joy. Many Thanks.
Perfect rendition! Beautiful!
What a beautiful sounding guitar. Wonderfull.
Absolutely splendid.. and the more I don't understand Bach the more I like him!
The 64 people who disliked this probably put their shoes on backwards. 10/10 performance, You inspired me to pick up my classical again!
Beautiful interpretation, and is so good to have you back!
Just when you think she can't get any better . . . .
I really think if Herr Bach heard this, he would be brought to tears.
...and if he SAW this, it would blow the wig off of his head!
Can you imagine traveling back in time, handing a cell phone to JS Bach (before he wrote it, why not?) and having him watch this? He'd either die from the shock of it, or you'd be burning at the stake in no time.
Outstanding! Always a joy to hear you play.
This is what perfection sounds like.
So smoothly executed 👏👏👏♥️
holy.... Jeez ! This performance is freaking awesome ! very good playing, and very accurate in terms of precision, thank for this video !
Truly, some of the greatest guitar work I've heard. Up there with Parkening, Montoya, and Segovia.
The emotional beats really come through in this performance.
Wonderful performance on an instrument and strings that capture the
elegance and airy nature of the arrangement!🤗🤗
Magnifique jeu, et très belle guitare qui vous va bien, j'adore ...

Excellent performance and that unique guitar and hairstyle add a visual element that is sorely missing in classical music! Well Done!
SO, So, so well executed that it's shocking-shockingly transcendent. Anyone who has studied this Sonata-particularly the presto-will agree. And BTY, what a brilliant guitar! Never heard or seen anything like it.
