I've had the great pleasure and honour to welcome Enno Voorhorst to our little chapel in Velp (province of Noord-Brabant, Netherlands) for a guitar recital some years ago. He is one of the kindest men I've ever met. Of course the recital was a complete success, and he played the Händel Chaconne too. What more could anyone wish for? Thank you again Mr. Voorhorst, all the best to you.
I couldnt hold my tears past the minute, in this modern world we give culture for granted, the truth is, best of what humanity could achieve with a caring passion of dedication and perseverance: is this. Art. At its finest results.
There's a reason there are like no videos of people playing Chaconnes under the age of like 40, it takes years and years of practice to do something like this
@Barristan Selmy This is an extremely difficult piece to play solo right through without a mistake for even the best guitarists. Live concerts do not exact the same virtuosity as recordings, in that recordings are unforgiving and it's possible this one may been edited. Listen carefully to the recording quality (different from expressive tone) before 3:10 and after, and then same at 4:19. It suggests to me the section between 3:10 and 4:19 was added sometime after the rest of the piece was recorded with slightly different recording parameters. Nonetheless, Enno's expression, delivery and virtuosity are absolutely amazing, doing great justice to this genius of a work by Handel.
Enno Voorhorst, by far one of my favorite classical guitarists and definitely one of the best in the world. I fell in love with his expressive, dynamic, crisp playing style the first time I heard him playing his own Bach transcriptions years ago. His arrangements and renditions are always stunning, beautifully articulated, and completely unfettered by any technical limitation.
This is truly wonderful playing. Also, anyone who doubts that Ramirez are still among the greatest guitars in the world should listen to this performance. It is exquisite.
I'm only 20 seconds in deciding to type this out to already tell you that you've knocked my socks off with this absolutely sublime playing. Not every day you see someone with this much skill on a guitar, bravo to you!! Nailed it from a musical point of view as well, using extremely good technique only when required and not overdoing the piece in any parts at all, well done again
When I first heard this, my first thoughts were “How poetic and utterly relaxed!” I still feel that. But then I realized how much is due to his work as arranger, making clearer distinctions between melody and accompaniment, changing a lot of the phrasing, and considerably altering the end to remove all the keyboard bravura and replacing it by the lovely reminiscence of the quiet opening.
I don’t have words to express my most deepest feelings when I hear this incredible work. I hardly can hear without tears in my eyes . Marvelous arrangement, thank you
When I heard this Händel masterpiece, long, long time ago, with Ida Presti & Alexander Lagoya, I've listening very often. To play it in a solo guitar is probably one of the most difficult works. Enno did an incredible performance like nobody else. He plays Bach´s Ciaccona in perfect way too.
I've been playing the guitar for about 14 years, and I've seen many great guitarists, but the cleanness and accuracy merged with a touch of classical soul in this wonderful piece is just on another league! RUclips's algorithm gives me satisfaction, sometimes!
With this playing the definite version has been presented here! Simply great and not only in technical aspect! The different lines in this piece are played so clear that an analysis of this piece for students should start here.
Gitarrespiel in höchster Vollendung!!! Chapeau und Kniefall vor diesem großen Künstler! Unfassbar grandiose Technik, blitzsauber, intelligent und gefühlvoll interpretiert mit einem Traumklang!!!!
_Oh my great stars! Enno plays a 1961 Jose Ramirez! My Ramirez was a 1965 I picked up in Los Angeles for less than $300.00 around 1968!_ _I hope one day that GOD will give me back the best things in my life that were destroyed or lost! GOD bless Enno _*_BEAUTIFUL!_* 😇
I made my earlier remark before completing to listen to the entire piece. I just finished it, and you are one of the most musical players I've ever heard. You make Handel sound like Scriabin. Simply the best!!
Masterful and magnificent in every respect. Both the arrangement and performance are impressive. The ornamentation is exemplary. This makes no apology to the harpsichord.
Linda interpretação, quando ouvi, mandei imediatamente um e mail para o Eno Voosrhorst, perguntando como adquirir uma cópia do seu arranjo, para minha surpresa ele me mandou uma cópia, de seu uso pessoal, grande camarada, sou muito agradecido!
The trills are like optical/audio illusions. RUclips is the veins to which I can feel the blood of the world beating in my heart. Getting to hear and see all these great minds sending their electrical creations from the fingertips to my ears and into my memories is reason to live a thousand years. I've a new neural network with a no vacancy sign for the storage of this piece! Excellent and thank you!
Holy cow!! You’re the king of cross string trills!! Please give me a little insight on how to get mine like that. Beautiful arrangement and amazing playing. Thank you.
segoavi Hello, I just finished listening to your rendition of the Handel Chaconne and was very moved by your extraordiinary interpretaion and your great skill as an arranger. Going through the comments I came upon your offer to share the score with someone. Would it be too much to ask the same favor from you? I teach classical guitar, lute, and vihuela in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada both at the University and in private practice and would be honoured to play your arrangement. Heartfelt thanks, Carl Lotsberg
Wow, you are so good, and one of the best guitarists I've ever heard. Very musical and you have some mad skills and technique. Your attacks and releases are so exact and beautiful. Awesome tone too. You truly have the gift . . . .
The chachone is one of my favorite forms, ever so deep and rich, it’s melancholy tones into the soul. I’ve never heard nor heard of this price by GF Brahms, but I really like it. Thank you so very much for sharing it and you play , perform, it so well and with loads of feeling. Again, thank you. Keep on, progress, proceed. Dale Clifton Olmstead
Prof. Voorhorst, simply stunning! Gorgeous playing and a lovely transcription. Do you plan on publishing the transcription or is there a way one can gain access to it? Peace.

This video is the most under rated video on you tube. How this doesnt have 200million views is beyond my comprehesion of understanding.

Fingers of steel and a heart of silk! Thank you so much Enno for this incredible interpretation.
My favorite classical guitar video of all time.
Just how in the hell did this man complete this entire Chaconne without making a single mistake. What have i just witnessed. What is happening?

@@stickfijibugs Yes, I think you are correct.
He and David Russell...
@@PacdemonStudios1 your comment makes me feel good. but i bet leonora spangenberger could nail this if she wanted to lol
I’ve watched this at least 30 times ..And it’s remarkable! Sublime ..This will never get old ~Bravo
Me too.. Almost 50 times by now
@@alexandreluizalves Me too, I'm addicted to this version.
Me too it gets better every time
I cannot imagine how anyone could possibly get closer to what the composer had in mind - in all likelihood. This sounds so logical and natural.
Magnifique musique servie par un très grand interprète! Un pur joyau! Bravissimoooo!!!

How wonderful this guitar sounds, like a piano
meglio di un pianoforte!

Handel would be glad to hear this!
Sure!
I agree! I have a feeling Handel would definitely approve of this performance!
I have a funny feeling that Handel would absolutely approve of this.

Quando ascolto questo brano ho un senso di gioia e di commozione. Grazie Maestro Enno Voorhorst.

heel veel dank Enno Voorhorst, ik ben hier blij mee !
Beautiful playing and these trillls... amazing. A musical feast! I believe Handel would have been amazed too! Great Ramirez sound.
The best classical guitar playing I’ve ever seen …all from memory is absolutely insane
wat een werk.... geweldig! Hoe heerlijk moet het zijn zoiets in hoofd en vingers te hebben.
Truly remarkable a great work of Händel's genius superbly interpreted, a big thank you for sharing
A marvel a thousand bravos.
Realmente, este arreglo y esta versión... yo me atrevo a decir que es insuperable...
Have just stumbled upon this unexpected wonder. What a joy! Thank you very much.
This is probably one of the standards of sound of Baroque music.
Perfectly!
Thank you.
Beautiful. Full rich sound. Thank you.
Musique magnifique, interprétation magnifique, artiste magnifique!!! Merci
Great performance on a José Ramirez-guitar. Thank you Enno!

Maravillosa Interpretación Maestro
Amazing performance! It would be a great gift to the world if you published the score.
It was so obviously a Ramirez, from the 1st note. Gorgeously played.
Thank you for that, it is an amazing transcription and performance.
Wow, you are so good, and one of the best guitarists I've ever heard. Very musical and you have some mad skills and technique. Your attacks and releases are so exact and beautiful. Awesome tone too. You truly have the gift . . . .
I've never even heard this piece until now, and I would say it's absolutely perfect.... I wonder has anyone played this piece before they turned 40...
Grazie Maestro , la sua arte è immensa ❣👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Very beautiful version and perfomance. Could I ask for the score?
