I'm a cellist and I've performed the Bach suites many times and heard a lot of other interpretations. When I hear it on guitar, it lends some kind of a magical tranquility that you just can't do with the cello.
I'm not a cellist and I've never performed Bach, but when I hear Bach on cello.... I cry. Cello's are the best, keep listening to guitars, and keep using your cello. Thanks
The guitar offers many different Timbres. Segovia talks about this in an elegant way and said “the guitar is the easiest instrument to play but the hardest instrument to play well”
Sometimes, 3 minutes of Bach, properly interpreted, can calm a turbulent day & ease a troubled mind. This was one of those times. Thanks for sharing a wonderful performance. It made my day.
Always it can. I have Pablo Casals in my CD player and listen to this many mornings and don't feel the need to put anything else in there. Not to say it is all I listen to, but it is like morning coffee to me.
I think Back would have written many more pieces for "parlor" instruments if the Guitar was 2 centuries further in advancent. The lute lacked the lyrical dynamics, which were brought to the Guitar years later by Segovia and his work with Luthiers such as Manuel Ramirez and The German Howser. Actually he would have written conciertos for Guitar if Segovia lived in his day.
As a cellist who is currently playing this song, it transposes beautifully. For all the time I've heard of prelude its been the "Classic cello piece", but it definitely is not just great on the cello. This is proof.
This music makes me feel that the mundane and the profound are identical. That life is an epic, without anything extreme needing to happen. Just being alive is enough.
Lucky as I am, I had the privelage of performing this song alongside Julia in a One Off, street performance in Glasgow queen street, untuned ears sauntered by, but tasteful and cultured individuals stopped and listened for a moment, while she displayed the utmost grace and relentless passion the public wasn’t yet ready to hear, playing like a thousand people were listening when just a few lended their ears, I thought then, what a true artist, a warrior of her craft, forever grateful for the shared excellence we gifted the passers by!!

A classical performance by a classy and intelligent lady. You and your performances are not just gifted, you are a gift. Thank you for sharing something so wonderful with us.

There was a time, many years ago when I was just a kid, I would sit for hours on my porch and try to play as fluid as this young lady, alone except for this stray cat who used to sit and purr as I plucked the strings, never complaining that I never reached that level. It was the effort that mattered, the attempt. I wish I had that heart today, somewhere it got lost, but hearing this captures a bit of it, and reminds me of the joy of the challenge to play like the masters. Very well done young lady, very well played indeed.
Don’t tell Johann, but I like this piece better on guitar than on cello. And I LOVE it on cello. Amazing work and my gosh, what a gorgeous sounding instrument.
I'm an amateur player but I've been (slooowly) learning this piece and using this video as reference. So I think that by the time I've learned it I will have watched this video more than any other person! 🥇
You've found your joy Julia. There is no sound on planet earth more beautiful than the classical guitar, as beautiful perhaps, more beautiful, not possible. Thanks Julia.
A moment, of peace, beauty, skill, emotional content, reflectiveness, (I may have just invented a new word..) and hope, packed into 3:08. For the weary, the stressed, the worried, the uncertain, the hopeless, to come and be unburdened of the cares that trouble their hearts, and remember once again what the joy of life feels like. Thank-you Julia, May God increase your skill, your joy, your audience, and give you increased ability to move peoples hearts deeply.
Fahren gerade mit dem Zug an Köthen vorbei...eine wichtige Station in Bachs Leben...Und nun höre ich gerade diese wunderschöne Interpretation auf der Gitarre! Thank you for the Musik! 😊🎸🎶💓
Eine zauberhafte Aufnahme mit sehr schönem Klang auf dieser wunderbaren Jakob Lebisch Meistergitarre ! BRAVO 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋 👋Tolle Aufnahme !! 👍👍👍 Danke fürs teilen 🙏
I love listening to Bach cello suites but I agree that this is a magnificent interpretation of the 1st suite on guitar which radiates with tranquility 😊
I've been playing guitar for years (a different style) and whenever I hear a lady like this I am completely in ore of them. They play with such Devine skill and precision that I could never hope to be as good as them in a million years. And you no what? That's good because I get to listen to the beauty of it without analysing it. Fantastic 🎉❤
@@StopFear Instruments are singular in their tonal properties. You're obviously not a musician, otherwise you'd realize the stupidity and smugness of your remark. Pity you're not a little more self aware.
@@plantreez1 It was substantially more than ignorance. The commenter"s ignorance is forgivable. What's NOT forgivable was the assertion of expertise on a subject about which it was obvious he or she knew nothing. So, according to you I'm to suffer fools gladly? By even condescending to respond to your comment I'm already doing that. Pity you feltl a need to jump into an admonition to which you weren't invited with an individual whose knowledge and expertise of the subject renders you completely outclassed. Feel to offer any rebuttal. But, do keep it pithy as I bore easily with those demonstrating intellectual inferiority.
Yo interpretaré la misma obra en la final de un concurso en mi país y me da emoción pensar poder interpretar así, tengo 11 años y me encantó como tocas.
Du bist so toll ! Hoffe mein Enkelsohn wird mal so etwas schreiben ! Hoffe dein Auftritt war damals erfolgreich , hauptsache du trägst die liebe zu dieser Musik weiter im Herzen :)
Oh boy that ending always gives me goosebumps! Well played! I played this whole suite for my junior classical guitar recital and it didn't sound nearly this good! Bravo!
I found you on YT. Now I'm your fan! I loved your music and felt the love you put into playing your guitar. You are amazing and I just ask that you don't give up on your music. I loved it! KISSES FROM BRAZIL!💖❤💙💛💜💚
Bravo Julia ,c'était extrêmement agréable à écouter, et à regarder promener vos doigts avec tant de délicatesse . Très joli choix également dans l oeuvre de jsBach Amicalement
Lovely, and the wooden furnishings and other surfaces of the room doubtless help make the performance even more authentic (even with the change of instrument).
Yeah that was spectacular. I play rock/blues, SG Gibson and Angus Young tone turned up! Your interpretation and playing ability reflects years of dedication and skill. Thanks for sharing that, loved it.
Bach, unser Meister für alle, vom Barock bis zur Klassik, vom Jazz bis zum Rock. Sehr schöne Interpretation, die vergessen läßt, daß dieses Stück für das Cello geschrieben wurde. Magistral. Bravo et encore.

i know this feeling
Bach's Cello pieces always transcribe well for guitar and sounds just as good.
Perfect, beautiful
Julia Lange is the perfect guitarist to perform this lovely piece. I can listen to her play for hours.
As a cellist who is currently playing this song, it transposes beautifully. For all the time I've heard of prelude its been the "Classic cello piece", but it definitely is not just great on the cello. This is proof.
I transcribed this for double bass and took my exams with it.
Bach sounds good transcribed for kazoo
You might be interested in this arrangement for organ but played solely with the pedals. ruclips.net/video/1kG25M0s4gE/видео.html
@@EPICSOUNDTRAX can you send me the transcription?
Kazoo? Idiot. Leave.
This music makes me feel that the mundane and the profound are identical. That life is an epic, without anything extreme needing to happen. Just being alive is enough.

J. S. Bach has got to be grinning from ear to ear right now. Absolutely beautiful to hear. Thank you so much for this.

i, i, i, i, i.
The build up starting at 2:09 is genius. It’s a sonic guide to the part immediately after which sounds like Grace.
Don’t tell Johann, but I like this piece better on guitar than on cello. And I LOVE it on cello. Amazing work and my gosh, what a gorgeous sounding instrument.
Yes, same here.
Gorgeous guitarist, as well. ❤
don't worry we ain't tellin🙊🗿 unless he see the video🤯🗿
Listening to this made today a better day.
What a gift. Every day, for several hours, you get to live in a magical musical world above all the noise. How wonderful!
I'm an amateur player but I've been (slooowly) learning this piece and using this video as reference. So I think that by the time I've learned it I will have watched this video more than any other person! 🥇
This is breathtaking. It's not often we have the opportunity to watch a performer literally become the music she is playing. Bravo!
You've found your joy Julia. There is no sound on planet earth more beautiful than the classical guitar, as beautiful perhaps, more beautiful, not possible. Thanks Julia.
The lute can have a mellowness and clarity that is hard to replicate on the guitar, e.g., ruclips.net/video/p8Utq4aRbu8/видео.html

BWV 1007 auf Gitarre: Viele sind berufen, aber wenige sind auserwählt. Du bist definitiv eine der ausgewählten ❤️
Precision and clarity, the sole of talent.
Fahren gerade mit dem Zug an Köthen vorbei...eine wichtige Station in Bachs Leben...Und nun höre ich gerade diese wunderschöne Interpretation auf der Gitarre! Thank you for the Musik! 😊🎸🎶💓
J.S. Bach yet lives!!
*🌠 The depth and complexity of classical compositions never fail to leave a lasting impression.*
I think this is my favorite version/performance of this piece I've heard yet! 😀
Julia vs. Anrés... hm She is nice and good playing 🤩
It still does not reach the version of John Feeley. But its nice
Yes , great performance. Smooth technique .
Beautiful, Julie: Nourishment for the soul, and beautifully played.
Que preciosidade!
Que coisa mais bela!!!
Parabéns Julia !!!!

The clarity and punch of the bass on that guitar is astonishing. Marvelous performance, obviously.
hmm...I don't know. If it is a comment about the guitar, to me it sounds like all classical guitars, which are designed to sound that way.
