I've seen the Vienna Philharmonic in the Golden Hall in Vienna. I've seen Barenboim in Prague. I've seen the LSO and the LPO in London. I've seen the Magic Flute on Lake Constance. I've seen Bruckner played in St. Florian. I've seen concerts in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Kyiv. But, I have never seen, a more unassuming man, wearing simple clothes, playing a barely known instrument, with so few followers, play with such virtuosity.
I’ve a new recording of this piece and would be interested what you you like that inte if you compare. Better clothes 😊🙏🎶 ruclips.net/video/DaJ6ri_ccWk/видео.htmlsi=RYCItFBPwhHwleR5

Your artistry is otherworldly, I could add the combined comments of everyone else who has taken the time to comment on this performance.. Please record all of the BACH solo works so we may purchase them. Your interpretation is extraordinary. The breaking of chord follows the musical line perfectly. Thank you, thank you. MORE!!!!!

O primeiro pensamento que vem à cabeça é o quanto Bach é fabuloso: sua música funciona em qualquer instrumento. Depois, à medida que a música vai rolando, o fator "curiosidade" do instrumento, vai sumindo e fica só a admiração pela musicalidade do instrumentista. Coisa linda.
Die Nyckelharpa kannte ich als Instrument bisher nicht. Ein beeindruckendes, sehr schön klingendes Instrument und eine wunderbare Interpretation der Chaconne!
The first thought that comes to mind is how fabulous Bach is: his music works on any instrument. Then, as the music unfolds, the "curiosity" factor of the instrument fades away, leaving only admiration for the musician's musicality. Beautiful thing.
I don't remember the last time a bach interpretation moved me this much. Thanks for sharing! I adore how full of life it is, that it is sad and playful at the same time.

What were the years when everyone knew these instruments were common? I’m 83 years old, an ardent classical music follower, and this week has been the first I’ve heard of it.
The oldest Nyckelharpa (Key harp) found is one from the 16th century but there are depictions of them in churches that dates back even further. The reason you have never heard of it before is that A) its Swedish and while found in Norway and Denmark as well, never really spread out to Europe but there are pictures of it german dictionaries from that time. B) It was a folk music instrument and no real classical music was written for it. Sadly, high-browed historians never thought much about the history of the common folk or their music until recently. C) For some reason it started to lose in popularity. It appears it by this time was still a very simple instrument and could only play traditional songs. By the beginning of the 20th century few instrumentmakers knew how to make one. It didnt get popular again until it was pretty much redesigned to be chromatic and able to play in other keys than just C. So the Nyckelharpa might look old, but its pretty much reinvented and redesigned in the 1960s
Staggering, incredible, amazing, astonishing, marvellous, phenomenal, breathtaking, mind-boggling and -blowing, out of this world, fabulous, fantastic!

Wow it's the first time to see this musical instrument. Even better, one of the best musics in the history was perfectly played by a great musician on this instrument!
This is a masterpiece that sounds equally sublime played by violin, guitar, mandolin, piano, nickelharp and I guess any instrument you could imagine, as long as it is polyphonic.....but this rendition is indeed top notch! Congratulations and many many thanks for sharing this beauty....

Tack, Torbjörn! Having grown up with Milstein's version and even in more recent (rediscovered) baroque period style on violin, I always felt Choconne was an anguished, dark thing. In your hands it sounds so much lighter and more uplifting! Brilliant. Bravo.
This is an extraordinary interpretation! I am floored by the whole setup, the consumate articulations, the whole pace, which like a journey of emotions can be seen on the face of the interpret. Plus I had never heard of this instrument before, which seems to have a lot of keys below the fretboard.

303 years ago J S Bach would invited anyone on any instrument to play at his church or church hall to play his works . After all piccolo violins and post horns viols da Gamba and viola d amores were used in his First Brandenburg concertos.
So incredibly beautiful. This is THE most beautiful, intelligent, and sensitive interpretation I have ever heard. You are a true virtuoso. Thank you for sharing this.
Så otroligt vackert! I’ve been learning this piece on piano via a transcription by Brahms. I’ve always thought it must have been written for a stringed instrument, and now I know why! Tack!
I have to say, I love this amazing talent and virtousuo playing it. Just mind blowingly amazing. Thank you dear sir :) Please come to a round to Finland. I will be the fan on the premises if you will come :)
You have done well to learn almost 14 minutes by memory. Perfect! Any and all the words laid at your feet are deserved my friend. I have always wanted to learn the nyckelharpa but at ago 79 (I also play 5-string viola, Irish Bouzouki, tenor guitar, and blow my own horn with an Irish Whistle) I doubt practice time is still available for me. I do have an off the wall question regarding the items behind you. I'm a retired western boot maker (Espanola New Mexico) and I see a sewing machine and a wooden work bench that remind me of my Singer and later an Adler sewing machine and cutting table for my leather cutting. When you're not enjoying making music what do you do with the equipment behind you? Thanks for the music and thanks for an answer.
Back nine months later hoping that you had checked and added your comment of our questions, perhaps sometime next year you will have time to recheck and comment. You are still amazing on your nyckelharpa!

Schönes Instrument, dass mehr Wertschätzung gebührt. Ebenfalls ist das Stück wunderschön gespielt worden und ein genuss für die Ohren.
Helt fantastiskt framförande! Det klingar så otroligt barockt med medryckande frasering, dynamik, artikulation och klang - underbart!
My favorite moment is literally the last second, when he looks at the camera and raises an eyebrow as if to say, " I guess that wasn't too bad...."

It doesn't get much better then Bach and Nyckelharpa !
I would never have imagined the nyckelharpa was capable of this! I am simply amazed at this performance.
Thank you!!!

Stunning performance on an intriguing instrument entirely new to me. Very many thanks!
Absolutely and utterly magnificent. Beyond sublime.
Wow. Tremendous piece on a tremendous interpretations. Awesome instrument too! Thank you!
Heart warming, soul lifting and inspiring sonic nourishment masterfully served on an instrument I never heard/of before.
If I didn't know any better I would swear Bach had composed this for this instrument. What an excellent interpretation!
Merci pour cette interprétation magnifique qui donne sa vraie valeur à ce chef d'œuvre.
Interprétation sublime sur un instrument extraordinaire de complexité !
When he said "I want to play the violin!" and was told "The violin has no frets!" He did, and did, and Nyckelharpa!
This is exquisite. What a wonderful performance. I take my hat off to you, sir. This was quite something. Superb.
from japan. Thank you! ありがとう☆

I've always loved the sound of the nyckelharpa. Beautiful!
Except for the clicking sound in the background.
@@robertlayzer7832 That's part of it. Kinda like saying "I'd like a bagpipe if it wasn't for those pipes."
This sounds like more than one person and one instrument are playing... beautiful!
That is the point with this instrument.Just like the Hardanger fiddle.
think your in the zone, Bach's zone, thank you for such an inspired performance, extraordinarily beautiful.
Beautiful, very happy to discover this instrument. Thank you!
Makes me glad be human.
Mastery in action!!!
I've never seen this instrument. Superb performance in every way. What a talented performer! Thank you.
Would really like to see the Biography of this living legend on Wikipedia to get to know him better. What a blessing in Sound and Performance.
So incredibly beautiful. This is THE most beautiful, intelligent, and sensitive interpretation I have ever heard. You are a true virtuoso. Thank you for sharing this.
Beautiful. Thank you for such a musical and heartfelt performance.
Класс! Супер интерпретация и звучание! Потрясающая Правая рука! Браво!!!
what an underestimated instrument
Absolutely stunning. Well played Sir, bravo!
Absolutely the perfect high-talent of an nykkel-harppa virtuouse :)
Jag älskar de nyckelharpa sung de so mycket (tyvär: jag kan inte tala svenska) =D
Så otroligt vackert! I’ve been learning this piece on piano via a transcription by Brahms. I’ve always thought it must have been written for a stringed instrument, and now I know why! Tack!

Absolute Masterful!👍✌️
素晴らしい演奏ですね。
Incredible to be able to get that much detail to the many notes from an instrument that looks like that!
So beautiful
playing it on a violin is already a very difficult challenge... let alone playing it on a much more complex instrument like this... kudos!
earlier today was the first time i've seen this instrument being played and im officially in love with it. thank you for sharing your amazing talent.
This video changed my life.
Incredible. Simply - a finger from God touched the earth again.
Incredibly beautiful...wow!
A superb performance.
So... it's the Godfather where the violin took inspiration and got born!! Such sweet instrument!! Also it looks so beautiful ..
