Beautiful Alan!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@mokotoffGuitar]

I absolutely love his playing, he is unique among modern guitarists.

[@davidnefesh]

A beautiful and gripping performance by Alan - thank you for featuring him!

[@Liam_Kalson]

Just watched Rick Beato's video on this guy. Apparently, although he's a bit mysterious, he produces some of the most incredible recordings, and harmonizes Bach in very interesting ways. Probably one of the most underrated guitarists. I highly recommend following him on Spotify as he does not get as much support there as he should.

A perfect example of creativity within the style. Well conceived and brilliantly executed interpretation. Very elaborate, but not overstated.

[@user-yt6dt9lr3z]

Alan is an incredible player and and even cooler guy. Well done man, I'm gonna go practice my cross string trills now...

[@fredvanvactor6110]

Very musical and enjoyable performance on this fine sounding instrument. I loved it!

[@sammcconkey8768]

Superb Alan! Love the the ornamentation!

[@badmotherfarker123]

Alan Mearns always has really interesting and tastefully unique interpretations! Reminds me of Roland Dyens!

❤ Great performance 💯 Bravo 🎉

[@Zyryab]

Unique transcription and performance! Great interpritation! But the numbering Suite n. 13 is a little incorrect. It was a temporary numbering catalog by Jean-Daniel Forget, which was used by lutenist Michel Cardin on his CD's. Prelude from Suite n. 2 and Passacaglia from Suite n. 13. But this numbering of Weiss` works no longer exists. The correct numbering is: the Prelude from the Sonata n.2 (SW2 or SC2) and Passacaglia from Sonata No.18 (SW18 or SC18). The SW or WSW signature stands for - (Weiss Samtliche Werke), SC - (Smith & Crowford). Future generations of lutenists and guitarists should know this so that there is no confusion.

[@wearetemporary]

I am perpetually confused by the Weiss numbering. One suite I played I’ve found recorded using three different numbers haha.
Is there now finally a definitive catalog numbering for all works, or is this still an ongoing process?

[@DerlyPintosTapia]

Que gran guitarrista !! ,

[@cariaplin5461]

Stunning 😍

[@NicuPlaschevici]

Fantastic

[@JaxonBurn]

Mearns is always brilliant; unique and very tasteful. Also, I don't think I've ever seen anyone play a right-hand/cross-string trill at the same time as a left-hand/hammer-on pull-off trill. It seems so obvious now that you could combine the two, and yet I had never seen it before now. Really cool.

[@Aarrmehearties]

Great guitar, greater player

[@user-cm8rp3yn2h]

[@dorianmearns7407]

Very beautiful! The music sounds great too!

[@ClassicalGuitarMusings]

Excellent

[@MartinCAPals]

Might be the incarnation of Weiss

[@AlexandreLuiz-ph8ns]

Amazing...but i still think Ekachai version of Passacaglia is the best ever.(Naxos cd)

[@ljr869]

Sounds very harpsichord-esque.
