Touches my deepest emotions...makes me cry! Excellent performance, let them count the mistakes, this is still a masterpiece that carries a part of the guitarist's soul, that she gave away to eternity and it found Bach's soul there. It's a pity that she stopped playing Bach. Probably because of all the criticism, but you know what...screw them! This is and will be the best Chaconne played on guitar in my book. For violin version, I love Nathan Milstein
Have you ever heard of...mmm... Bach? Technical, and above all rhytmical precision is primordial in his music, and the last thing you wanna do is push in emotions beyond the level of a gentle hint. This video shows exactly how Bach is supposed to be played.
Played very well by a great player of class- guitar.Anyone watching this should also listen to the interpretation by John Feeley from Ireland.The accoustic quality in Feeley's version is really superb.
This is actually Bachs chaconne but transcribed by Busoni. Busoni was a romantic composer, pianist, conductor, writer, teacher. His Bach-Busoni edits for piano are one of the things he is well-known for. As someone who has played both instruments (piano and guitar), its very impressive to hear a guitarist play this piece on an instrument that is so different from the one it was written for (paino). Really recommend listening to the piano version, so u can hear for yourself how succesful she was getting this piece like it was ment to sound. ruclips.net/video/sw9DlMNnpPM/видео.html
The John Feeley arrangement doesnt seem very different from the old Segovia text, but his playing is quite magical reminding me of the best of Segovia and John Williams unique styles combined together. The Shinichi Fukuda transcription seems the closest interpretation to the original Violin score. They all use a dropped D tunning though.
totally superb, one of my all time favourite players, but this is one of those videos that is so poor in quality it would have been better not uploaded as it does the artist no favours unless the picture and audio are a lot sharper . Still, I must admit I personally was entralled because Kaori is too magnificent for words and its great to have any record of her playing big big pieces like this.
The metal noise on background has nothing to do with the original sound, I guess it depends from mics too close or far or not perfectly adjusted to get all guitar frequencies. It occurs, shame, but does not spoil the superb rendition of this masterwork.
there is no supposed about playing Bach, however there are some disciples of disciples who listened Bach, and for me, they are the most closely to that suppose, Arrau's master for example, had the heritage of the Beethoven disciples, and Arrau puts on his interpretations that Beethoven feel, call it like you like.
What "suppose to" means in music? Did Bach wrote something about that? What do you think about Segovia's way to play it? Isn't it imprinted with highly emotional play?
Wonder where is "mechanic play"? Can just tell the same, this is Bach, not Juliani or Granados. What she played sounds one of best touches for Bach interpretation; deep (!) emotions - in strict from of Bach time traditions. There however are more "romantic" interpretations and the point is how far they are close to the line when this turns into smth different from Bach at all.
If you read well, my first comment says "I'm not sure" because I don't know her in person. Probably other users are right and that controversial sound is because of the microphone but honestly I don't think so. Watch the " Roland Dyens Saudade No.3" and you will appreciate a magic forest, snakes and a kind of yoga atmosphere that are only intended to nothing. There's no reason for those things to be there. I think a classical guitarist must be only him/her and a guitar. Music speaks by itself.
I think the strings were new; changed one or two days before the recital. This is a big mistake when a concert will be given (novice mistake). We can hear the metalic vibration all the time. I'm not sure but I imagine Kaori is a conceited guitar player. However, I've listened to her playing Dyen's Saudade No.3 and it was not bad at all. I recommend "The Summer of 42" from the "Lumieres" album. This piece is the most sentimental transmission of her guitar.
Yes I know my friend. You move the hands you change the sound. But remember that Bach is not a modern composer and under any reason must sound metallic. Listen to Paolo Pegoraro's version. His is the best edition and performance. The reality is that many guitar players are called famous but what they really have is publicity. Recently I listened to Carlos Perez from Chile playing Bach in live and he was really terrible. But his resumee says other thing.
sorry forgot to add that I like Muraji San's playing very much but she has interpreted this piece insuffieciently, very robotic as though she is trying not to make mistakes. Let the mistakes happen I say, and let your feelings out! Mind you she makes more money than I do so I should be a bit quiter perhaps?
It is shameful of you to slander Kaori by calling her "conceited". And incidentally she is no novice. One cannot reach her level without years of study and thousands of hours of practice. She is one of the most productive players around with performances all over the world and numerous recordings. You should be more careful with the words you use.
If a musician does not give emotion, it would be better to put the notes into a computer, that would be technical, this interpretation for my taste is not the best, I consider most appropriate interpretation of Segovia, just my opinion. (sorry about my english)
Respect all different classical guitarists. Have learned this piece but never mastered/or played it publicly myself. Obviously Maestra decided it's all or nothing and went for it. There's lots of pressure on virtuoso's to play up to standards. Really pushed hard with her smaller hands. It's a question of how much you respect a piece, prepare, are technically ready for it, and either bring it to life or kill it. Sorry, but she killed it in this performance, too ambitious a program, harsh right hand sound, guitar going out of tune, never should have posted it. Classical guitarists don't have the same tradition/history as violinists do, so we have to listen to them to get a sense of performance style, phrasing. My own guitar teacher said she finally understood baroque music after finishing her Fulbright studies in Munich. Her mentors were fabulous talented Spanish virtuosos, though they had no idea or tradition how to play Bach. Maybe Maestra Muraji has improved it over time.
This version is a bit boring to me, I prefer Angel Romero's or Segovia's. The free-stroke technique Kaori and some others use seems (to me) to rob the guitar of its tonal richness. Just my two cents, but Kaori seems to just be playing notes, not music.
Lolz, what a heap of nonsense... Just look at the position of her right hand and you'll see where that special sound (to a novice's ears "metallic vibration") comes from. The further to the right you pick the strings the more dignified or even harsher they sound; move your hand to the left and the sound gets soft and gentle. Kaori knows how to work with this. And as for conceited persons.. often it comes about that conceit and ignorance go hand in hand, as we can see in your case;-)
She made eleven mistakes here. 8 mistakes in the 1st part, 1mistake in the 2nd part, and 2 mistakes in the final part. If a professional player makes more than three times in one tune, he or she should give up playing that tune in public. For Chacconne, no more than five mistakes could be tolerated at worst. What the hell is she doing here? However I will forgive her because she just looks gorgeous. That's all about her.
And how many mistakes have you done playing this piece ? None becouse you cannot play it and won't have opportunity to play it in front of big audience in your whole live.
素晴らしいシャコンヌです。
感動してます。
間違いを数える低俗な聴き方を辞めましょう。
全体的に非常にまとまりのある見事な芸術です。
ギター演奏史上歴史に残る価値高い物です。
感動を届けて頂きありがとうございました。
素晴らしい動画をありがとうございます🙏✨💕😍
Même avec l'audio assez piètre, cela reste tout bonnement monumentale. Le phénomène Johann Sebastian Bach dans toute sa splendeur.

A valiant effort. The piece is monumental in difficulty.
Fantastic Bach.......great interpretation and tone colour

Wish there were another vídeo of her playing the famous Bach Chaconne, with better quality. She is my favourite female guitarist; a great interpreter
Played very well by a great player of class- guitar.Anyone watching this should also listen to the interpretation by John Feeley from Ireland.The accoustic quality in Feeley's version is really superb.
great musician, great interpretation what else can i say??? Congratulation that's all that can be said i think :) :) :)
Simply Splendid ☺
Wonderful video!

MrLandale 1 month ago . It's the poor Audio champ... in the recording. I was there and it was not painful.

you want to put alot of emotions into it thats how it should be played

you really have no clue. no emotion?
you play music ? you played Bach ? you read his partitures? .. Incredible played! both tumbs up

as said the sound quality is s""t like it,s been dragged through mud in a potatoe sack
The recording is a little bad, sorry.
The video quarity is too terrible!!
Lolz, what a heap of nonsense...

And as for conceited persons.. often it comes about that conceit and ignorance go hand in hand, as we can see in your case;-)
The guitar is very out of tune, especially after 9:50. From 12:35 it's just painful for my ears!

too many mistakes

Julian Kul enjoy the music and dont listen an artist for critique only.
Basically I respect your comment. But her careless mistakes disturb my commitment on enjoying her music. But thanks for ther advice.
And how many mistakes have you done playing this piece ?
None becouse you cannot play it and won't have opportunity to play it in front of big audience in your whole live.
you are not so good ar parties are you?
La confiture c'est comme la science, moins on en a, plus on l’étale...
