Sleepers Awake / BWV 645 - J.S. Bach Solo Classical Guitar

[@waterkingdavid]

Bravo! What an incredible piece of music which you give real justice to.

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

Thanks 🙏

[@petjobedet4650]

Love this arrangement and the Cordoba guitar.

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

Thanks 🙏

[@williamdillard7475]

I love this. It makes me think Bach was only thinking of guitar when he wrote this.

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

Couldn’t agree more 🙂 Thanks

[@MikeLyncheski]

Yes! I was thinking the same thing!

[@claudegamble393]

Pure joy! My old heart thanks you.

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks!!!

[@anastasiostresinis6899]

I'm practising this and I'm only just begining... You are an inspiration, I only wish one day I will be able to render this half as beautifully as you do, and I'll be a happy man! BRAVO!

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

I started learning it many years ago and then stopped after not having much success. I picked it up again after a couple of years after I felt I had improved enough to play it correctly. It does take a while but just keep at it and it will improve your technique along the way. Good luck🙏

[@joml2466]

Very good version! Definitely I’m not the only one who thinks about Call Me By Your Name whenever hearing this.

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

🙏🙏🙏

[@MikeLyncheski]

Raffy, this was wonderful! I especially enjoyed watching the fluidity in your left hand.

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

Many thanks Mike 😊🙏🙏🙏

[@ricardotorres5446]

Beautifully performed!! Congratulations!!

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

Thank you 🙂

[@conlamusicaaotraparte6206]

Thanks a lot for this video. Really well played and very didactive for me, since I'm learning the piece. I saw David Russell playing it and fell in love with it. Your interpretation gives me a lot of hints and tips for the fingering.
Congratulations!

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

You're very welcome!

[@darkrider2616]

absolutely beautiful

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

Thanks 🙏

[@mole62ssf]

Ahhh now this is what I wanted. This cantata has been in my head past few days but I didn't know the name. I finally posted to Facebook a snippet of my singing it. Friends readily identified it so I went searching among videos for the sound I wanted. This is it. Just the perfect solitary notes as sung by strings. Beautiful. Thank you so much!

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

No problem. Thanks, too 👍🏼

[@myfingerpainting]

Nice rendition! Audio-visual is likewise beautiful. Thanks for posting, Raffy!

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

+myfingerpainting Thanks Jun. Just FYI that I'm taking a break from playing guitar due to an injured thumb tendon. I hope to be able to play again soon because I miss practicing and learning new pieces. Regards.

[@robertbernardo783]

Well done Raffy! Beautiful piece.

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

Thanks Roberto.

[@StephenPeragallo]

Just great. I think of all the instruments I have heard this on guitar is the most expressive. I would like to know if you printed the music .
I have a guitar class and I would love to do it with two Guitars.

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

The score was free from the arranger Richard Yates at his website. If it’s not there, you can contact him directly

[@andreapepato6473]

Wonderful, BRAVO!

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

Thanks 🙏

[@Cantorisalto1]

Please, please can you tell me where I can get music with tablature for this please. Love the arrangement of this classic piece and the playing - sensational!!!

[@callyxh.4644]

Where can I find the sheet music you used ?

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

Not sure where to find it because it used to be free at Stanley Yates website. Perhaps you can contact him ?

[@LFUFMNX]

@@RaffyLataGuitar I see a pdf available on RICHARD Yates site. I wonder if that's what you meant.

[@myfingerpainting]

Get well soon, my friend!

[@tomphillips6743]

Great! It’s hard to play this on just one guitar

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

Thanks 🙏

[@aiganimamirova8795]

Oh how beustiful! Where can we get the tabs please?

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

There are no tabs for this piece (or at least none that I know of), sorry.

[@aiganimamirova8795]

Beautiful playing! Is that a Cordoba C10?

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

Thanks! Yes, it's a C10.

[@ferreirasales7227]

GOOD !!

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

+ferreira sales Thanks

[@wootsy1406]

STRONG!!!!

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

Thanks :-)

[@Hilliard999999]

really enjoyed your playing (for the first time I can recall, I preferred it to David Russell's version)

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

+Hilliard999999 Thanks. I think this arrangement was based off of Parkening's duet version which is far superior to anything I've heard.

[@williamdillard7475]

You have any tabs for this ?

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

No, I don’t.

Yes

[@Kulah-SS]

Very nice guitar tone.
I used to play this composition.
You do it very well.
Is that arrangement by Rick Foster?

[@RaffyLataGuitar]

Thanks. The arrangement is by Richard Yates, and is based on Parkening’s recording.
