Absolutely flawless playing. Beautiful voicing and phrasing, incredible use of dynamics and everything flows and grooves remarkably. That this was done in front of an orchestra of players just hanging on every note and TV cameras shows ridiculous poise under pressure. I have been playing for many years and can truly appreciate how well done this is. I am just seeing this now in 2024, great job Christoph.
From nearly 9000 people who have listen and seen this, there is no one to say SOMETHING about it? hope the reason is, because all remeined speechles after hearing it :) Well I will be the first: if this is LIVE and not playback, than this is FANTASTIC. Interpretation, accuracy, musicality, dynamics, technique and overall impression is just outstanding. Also recording ambiental and sound wise is done very well. Bravissimo. Hut ab.
Ich bin ein großer Fan von Christoph, es stimmt, warum gibt es keine Kommentare...... Christoph ist einer der größten Musiker unter den Schlagzeugern weltweit.
Es kostet mich Mut in diese Reihe meinen Kommentar zu setzen, ich möchte es trotzdem wagen: Über Bach zu sprechen schien mir immer unmöglich. Bach muss man mehr als andere Komponisten hören, dann ist eigentlich alles gesagt. Der Kontrapunkt verleiht Bachs Werken diese Geschlossenheit und unbedingte Notwendigkeit. Mir ist es unmöglich eine Melodie zu erkennen die man irgendwie selbst variieren könnte. Gleichzeitig ist es so leicht nachzuvollziehen was er da geschrieben hat, weil jeder Ton eigentlich genau da ist wo er hingehört. Dass Christoph Sietzen hier (wie immer) auf den Punkt gespielt hat und ebenfalls jeden Schlag so gesetzt hat wie es eben sein muss zeigt mir - er hat auch verstanden was Bach da gemacht hat. Deshalb Herr Zivkovic würde ich ihre Vermutung unterstützen, dass wir alle letztlich sprachlos bleiben, weil wir hier einfach aussergewöhnliche Musik eines aussergewöhnlichen Komponisten von einem aussergewöhnlichen Musiker gespielt hören durften. Mir bleibt nur zu sagen: Danke.
Another beautiful performance, Christoph! VERY much been enjoying your work lately! Inspiration! This performance stands out, I believe, with it's wonderful sensitivity with dynamic technique, and very full weighted strokes at just the right times.... Bach would be very pleased! BRAVO!
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING MAN! I love watching you play! Your passion for music and the instrument is remarkable when listening to any of your performances. It's because of people like you that I don't give up and keep studying, so that one day, maybe people will admire me like I admire you! Thanks for All !!!
Inspirational and a stunning performance. I respect anyone that takes the time to learn and then perform a piece for an audience live. Bach is challenging literature. Especially impressive is that we never touch our instrument unlike our other string, woodwind and brass instrumental players. Then, we have to achieve accuracy through a 17" mallet and with 2 in each hand! Thank you for sharing this with us. Incredible!
Alors que l'accord de l'instrument est approximatif (bois) et diffère de 1 ou 2 commas entre toutes les notes (entre un do et un ré, 7 commas), le génie de J.S.Bach nous fait oublier la mélodie pour nous faire découvrir le rythme et les secrets de la musique accessible aux mélomanes et à l'amateur. Marc Müller (élève d'Alexandre Lagoya puis de José Maria Sierra, disciple d'Émilio Pujol. 1er prix d'excellence en interprètant cette gigue pour la Guitare Classique suivie de la Fantaisie de Weiss pour le Luth. Tous les deux Rose-croix
Ben Penta any vibraphone player tbh, in drum corps (from my experience) they force even the vibe players to play Stevens, which I really don’t understand
INSANE DYNAMICS - BEST I'VE EVER SEEN ON 4 MALLETS SINCE GARY BURTON !!! THIS GUY IS THE REAL DEAL !!! THOUGH PERSONALLY I PREFER THE BURTON GRIP, CAUSE I CAN'T DO THE OTHER GRIP.......

More of this? YES, PLEASE!
Einfach wundervoll, Dankeschön dafür ❤😊👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This guy is a magician. This is a heartfelt performance. Thank God for RUclips and Christoph Sietzen!!

What I cannot understand is how at this point 24 people have given this a thumbs down? Really?
@@townhall05446 most of them are probably just jealous =) it is marvellous playing by Christoph.
Spectacular an relaxing at the same time... One of the best performances of Bach on marimba that I've seen in my life. Bravo!
Absolute Perfektion! Unglaublich!
Just wonderful and magic
Incredible playing.
Absolutely amazing, thank you so much for posting this. The subtlety is so impressive.
And how he has dealt with the immense pressure of the situation is equally impressive.
Incredible playing! And live? Wow.
Another beautiful performance, Christoph! VERY much been enjoying your work lately! Inspiration! This performance stands out, I believe, with it's wonderful sensitivity with dynamic technique, and very full weighted strokes at just the right times.... Bach would be very pleased! BRAVO!
1:53 Please tell me I'm not the only one who hears "We Wish You a Merry Christmas"
Who would have thought that the marimba had such an expressive range! In the hands of a master, I guess...
Really beautiful!
Good use of dynamics. Very expressive! Hi
This is fantastic! Beautiful performance.
Thanks you for the job! It s wonderfulll
He is a true artist, musically and technically outstanding!
Una meraviglia! Bravissimo.
Really well played... Amazing
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING MAN! I love watching you play! Your passion for music and the instrument is remarkable when listening to any of your performances.

La Gigue de la suite BWV 996 pour le luth de S.B Bach, la plus belle du rassemblement absolu de tout les temps...

Brilliant performance
outstanding and amazing
Another awesome performance.
Exellente succession mesurée de notes et son enchaînée les unes derrière les autres
Beautifull
What a treat! A joy to watch and listen! Great job Christoph!!
Gigue from the lute suite in e minor
Great how nice is that 🎉
Wow, flawless execution and fantastic phrasing! Sounds amazing! Is that the new She-e Wu marimba?
Sean- No, this is an Adams Alpha marimba. You are referring to the the Majestic Reflection which is what She-e Wu, Tom Burritt, and myself play.
@@scottyhorey9128 Actualy it is Bogdan Bacanu signature marimba
@@domy-wm6hy Oh! Thanks for clarifying, I don't know this marimba.
Fantastic performance!
Im a BIG fan of you !!!!
Totally awesome!
10/10 the god of this song
Terrific performance!!!
Bach would have loved this! Free and experimental...
Outstanding !!!!
beautiful
Really Nice
Amazing
Wow!
So nice to listen to him (you?). Thanks.
meraviglioso
what type of mallets he is using or at least does anyone know any mallets that produce a similar sound? Thank you!
I think they are Bogdan Bacanu mallets from Adams. Probably M140
Keiko Abe Yamaha MKAW-05
E minor all right yeah!!!
감상했습니다.
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖

Nice
Their are few things better than Bach on a Marimba.
god bless you parker meek
sublime;)
Espectacular con un sonido propio de un genio a la manera de L howard stevens . Bravo
Sounds amazing!
Do you cut your inner mallet handles shorter?
Very very nice. Mallets really speak well. Beautiful instrument very nice resonance. Stevens grip? Absolutely great!!
Peter D Stevens grip is the only good grip prove me wrong
@@thejazzman5231 any jazz vibe player:
:|
Ben Penta any vibraphone player tbh, in drum corps (from my experience) they force even the vibe players to play Stevens, which I really don’t understand
Putisimoo amoo, grande!!!
Could you please tell me which piece were you playing?
The 8th bar is different than played.. anyway great performance 👏🏻
Can anyone tell me what grip he’s using I can’t tell if that’s Stevens or cross
Definitely no cross grip. If it was cross-grip he would have thumb and forefinger between the mallets but he doesn't.
Must be Stevens or Musser
It's a Musser-Stevens Grip variation. He seems to switch between 1st and 2nd form.
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who else is here from Parker Meeks musescore fuckery?
Are you using Rattan or wood mallets?
If I was him I would die on the spot

came from parker meek
Yeah I think his video is just better than this guys entire performance.
Bus marimba
Je ne savais pas que les violonistes applaudissaient en agitant leur archet
Comparto con vosotros nuestra versión de la Invención nº 1 de Bach
