From a special Bach Birthday concert called "Sonatas and Partitas" at the WGBH Fraser Performance Studio, Classical New England host Cathy Fuller welcomes EMI Classics guitarist Xuefei Yang - one of the first Chinese guitarists to play in the West - for a performance of the popular "Air" from Bach's Suite No. 3.

I love this piece, but I love everything that Xuefei plays. She well deserves being called one of the best classical guitarists in the world. Xuefei, this brings tears to my eyes.
Like Pat Metheny said "We all suck compared to Bach". Xuefei Yang brings out the beauty of this piece as only she can do. It is very emotional to hear such beauty in a currently ugly World.
Look for the beauty in the world, it is all around. If you see it as ugly that is all you will find.
I think Bach would weep with joy if he could hear this.
Her tempo is perfection.
Bach weeps
In 1974 Laurindo Almeida recorded the Air inside his LP "Bach is beautiful", that I bought by chance. I fell in love with Bach and that Air was among my preferred pieces. Since then I listened to many, many versions of it, but no one was even close to him. Until now. Impressive. Bach is easy and is not easy to play: you need rigour and passion at the same time. Yang plays it perfectly, but maybe the word 'perfect' is even demeaning her performance. Technically gorgeous but also full of feelings, almost touching the heavens. Mystical. Usually this kind of interpretation happens when an artist is more mature, much further in the years; amazing that Yang can play like this at her young age. And she looks even very brilliant in mind and attractive in her body!
Amazing. Her zest for music is apparent in the way she describes how she adapted the piece for guitar. Lovely.
Beautiful
When a melody comes from heart Finest guitarist in the World tone melody comes from Xufie heart...Bravo
Best Air on G with classical guitar ever. Calling it.
It is just pure and beautiful playing. Thumbs up
So beautiful, Bach himself would love this.
Beautiful ❤️
I heard this piece on my way home from work. I cried for joy.
This makes me come back again and again...
We're glad to have you back again and again!
She plays the complete composition (with all the parts!!!!!)
I've played classical (and other styles of) guitar for 40 years, this is the best version of this piece I've ever heard. Mastery of the instrument, she is wonderful.

Because I play this myself on guitar I have heard many different ways musicians play it...but this transcription is unique and beautiful. Wish I could get the score somewhere..

WGBH Music, would it be possible to buy a transcription of Xuefei's wonderful arrangement for the education of my Ten year old son, as he has fallen in love with Xuefei's arrangement and he just loves this particular tune in general.
Sorry, wish we had it avail to offer, but we don't have a transcription. Hopefully it's avail somewhere else

Big fan of Miss Xuefei Yang.
Really cool performance!!
We're big fans, too. Glad you like the video. Thanks for leaving a comment.
"Cool" doesn't begin to describe how inventive and skillful and beautiful this performance is. This is not about "cool."
This is beautifully transcribed and so well executed! Does anyone know where I can get this transcription?
Brilliant artist. Thanks for sharing the vid with us; Jesus Christ Bless! :)
Thanx god for this amazing talent, keep it up sister :)
Beautiful mrs.yang, such talent! I know this song on guitar but I believe I play it in a different key and it doesn't sound as "full" as your trascription.do you have any tips for me? I would like to play and understand the guitar as well as u have one day! Thank you and keep playing, it's nice to see people preserving this wonderful art and genre of music.thumbs up!!

50% Bravo/a! to Xuefei and 50% to JSB.
Well, said. Thanks for leaving a comment!
Conhece muito de música
I really want to get the score of this piece!
After listening to Xuefei I now understand why so many people want to play the classical guitar.
اغشق الموسيقه الكلاسيكيه وخاصه الغيتار
Absolutely amazing! Greetings from the Republic of Taiwan.
霏霏给力!
Она имеет право играть такие произведения на гитаре.
Её высочайший уровень владения инструментом это позволяет.
А мы вновь заглянули за горизонт - в бесконечность Баха.
Very nice interpretation and arrangement. Where can I purchase this music score? The one she plays, I mean. :) Thanks in advance. :)
Anyone know if this arrangement is by David Russell?
Beautiful playing. I notice occasionally she hits muted notes. Is this something that was deliberate?
素晴らしい作品の素晴らしいパフォーマンス。 あなたの手のギターは歌います。
She and Andres Segovia can do legato on the guitar, like singing a long note. Very soothing. Very hard to do, indeed.
