I don’t stop coming back to this, Isabelle is absolutely wonderful, and the sound and tempo are fantastic Is an inspiration, I’m studying Bach, and is quite difficult and extraordinary each little part, is and adventure
I. Selder is a giant artist with excellent technic and nuance. Bach is the legend of all time and you performed it excellently. Bravo. I wish you my best. Thanks for uploading.
i am studying this piece on the cello. It is wonderful to get many different perspectives especially on different instruments on a piece and i am inspired by your phrasing. Thank you! I will be incorporating some key phrasing elements from your performance into mine.
As one who is a died-in-the-wool 'original instrument' fanatic, I have to say that this performance, on a modern guitar, is absolutely spellbinding (as are the rest of your recordings of Bach). Absolutely magnificent. Thank you for proving (finally) that the guitar can carry the 'old boy' off...
This rendition by Isabella Selder renders me awe-struck. I watched her chord changes and plucking pull the song out masterfully, and so magically... My foremost respect to Ms. Selder; Bravo, and Thank you.
Absolutely transporting. The musician, the instrument, the composition. Perfection. I listen to this nearly every day when I am working so that I can be touching the hem of the divine while muddling through the mundane.
It's so difficult to interpret the cello suites as it is on a cello and yet she is right on the money in her expression. The true balance between the views of baroque "puritans" and the performers of the romantic style is key. When you master this, as she has, the music becomes something so much more, something so magical.
Agreed. The style of the Baroque composer and musician called for high ornamentation, terraced dynamics and solid tempo. (Rough description). However, as guitarists we contend to play in a more romantic style that was not necessarily practiced I the romantic era. Not exactly sure why.... maybe because of the intimacy a guitarist feels for his/her instrument I dunno..... but, this performance was wonderful and I believe it to be a great interpretation of the original intent of the co.poser.
Incredible performance. Concur with previous comments: she brings her own deeply felt expression, brought out not on the original instrument, no less, & still captures what we may guess was the Master's authentic intention for cello. The guitar sounds so extraordinary, that one might guess it's all audio engineering. NO - let me offer: I once (~1962, Boston) was allowed to play briefly a Hauser that I think was from Hermann II; it had been given by Maestro Segovia to a Mr. Simeone, a teacher who helped Maestro with logistics for Boston concerts, in part because that guitar had sustained damage, then been repaired. Trust me, that guitar completely filled the room, even with my abashed fingering, probably the entire building, had anyone been listening to my little lesson. Bravo, brava & thanks to all.
quando eu era estudante de Violão; ele era restrito aos homens; era muito raro mulheres tocando violão. Agora vejo no RUclips um número cada vez maior. Grandes intérpretes de altíssimo nivel. toquem mais peças de J S Bach. Vocês Europeus, interpretam Bach como ninguém.
Very accomplished and expressive playing. Brava. But what a sound this guitar makes - it just sings so beautifully. It grabs my heart and I cannot stop smiling.
Ich spiele in meiner Freizeit selbst ganz begeistert Cello und habe viel Spaß und Freude dabei, auch wenn ich seit Jahren keinen Cello Unterricht mehr habe. Die Suiten für Violoncello von Johann Sebastian Bach, spiele ich natürlich auch bis auf die letzten Suiten. Die No. 2, d-Moll, BWV 1008 das Préludium daraus, spielst Du wirklich wunderschön! Aber auch so mal die leeren Saiten dazu und Umspielung, gefällt mir sehr gut! Mach weiter so und mit sehr viel Gesundheit und Wohlergehen, grüßt Dich ganz lieb und sehr herzlich, mit Gottes reichen Segen, Burkhard
Bravo Isabelle ! voilà une belle interprétation qui fait merveilleusement CHANTER cette Hauser dont on peut admirer la profondeur de son, la rondeur, avec des graves superbes et des aigus sans excès de brillance. La prise de son y est aussi pour beaucoup certainement.
Y'en a qui demande quel est le modèle de guitare ...... J'ai envie de leur dire : Modèle de doigts ? Ou modèle d'âme ? Ou modèle de neurones? Ou modèle d' Isabella ? Oui, parce que, écoutant cette fluidité, cette précision du jeu, cette sensibilité à fleur de peau, cette limpidité du son (oui, de la guitare aussi) cette mécanique de Bach transposée de cette manière sur ces 6 bêtes cordes ..... Pour toutes ces constatations ? J'ai jeté ma guitare. J'ai hurlé : Mais pourquoi ? Même " Au clair de la lune " , chez moi est inaudible. Celà inspire un profond respect pour cette rigueur, ce travail sans doute acharné. Mais quel résultat pour , en plus - comme si celà ne suffisait pas : cette magnifique jeune personne. Un grand bravo ! Et un non moins grand Merci pour ces moments que vous nous offrez. Moi qui pensait que toutes les Femmes Allemandes étaient comme Angela Merkel ...... Me voilà rassuré.
Although there is not one way to play Bach, I am tended to say that this approach is needed. Everything is there, technique, structure, emotion and the spiritual element which arises because the silence speaks in every tone, simply said: great devoted timeless playing!
Great interpretation! the sound becomes a magical tale that sings all over the voices of the guitar. Te vibrato is awesome, so it makes the piece float into the air with the quality of a bowed stringed instrument. Every phrase has its own spirit and personality. I would like to hear the entire suite played by you. Is there any recording with this music on it? Thank you for sharing your talent.
Sicca guitars with another great video. Thank you! I am a huge Ana Vidovic fan ( discovered on Sicca video) and I think Ms Selder will be another favorite!
Si Bach hubiese conocido a Isabella esta suite se llamaría Guitar Suite 2 y para tocarla en violoncelo hubiera sido necesaria la transcripción. Monumental!!!!!!!!!!
There’s a line from the film “A River Runs Through It.” Not sure if I have it exactly but I think it apropos here: “I knew I was witnessing perfection.”
Magistral interpretacion Perfeccion tecnica y expresiva La mejor que he escuchado de este bellisimo tema transcripto para guitarra ¡FELICITACIONES MAESTRA!
Remarkably beautiful - phrasing, tone, technique, style and vision for the piece. What a serious artist. I just checked her live performances - and unfortunately she doesn't get over to the U.S. often. :-( Wie schade, Fraulein.
I keep waiting to hear you play the Bach No. 1 cello suite prelude, which I am currently working on. I'm trying to, as much as possible, duplicate the cadence and feel of the piece as played on cello. I have listened to Inbal Segev play and analyze it and try to get the same feeling of the piece.
Si Bach hubiera escuchado esta interpretación, así como tu lo tocas hubiera elegido este instrumento para la numero dos. Monumental!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
excellent artist with an excellent guitar in her hands. Bach is the godfather of melodious compositions.
I don’t stop coming back to this, Isabelle is absolutely wonderful, and the sound and tempo are fantastic
Is an inspiration, I’m studying Bach, and is quite difficult and extraordinary each little part, is and adventure

I really like the sound of this guitar. Wonderful playing, so clean and clear.
The best interpretation, cellist included, of this suite I will repeat: MONUMENTAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is a great artist.
For Bach She is the best interpreter.She has Bach in the veins!!!!!!

+Kevin Gersteling great comment!
Berliner Stadtschloss It's an expression in the English language meaning "spot on" .
Except that Baroque music is quite romantic-- all about the affects, y'know.
Yes, romantic interpretations - this is what I prefer in guitar interpretation of Bach music especially Preludes. Magical
Agreed. The style of the Baroque composer and musician called for high ornamentation, terraced dynamics and solid tempo. (Rough description).

Love it ! The whole world should hear it. And the Hauser sounds amazing in her hands.
... like her vibrato - very smooth and SELDOM! ;)
Thank you, pleasure to listen to!
Beautifully played, God bless you, dear Isabella! ♥️😽🤗
Dificilmente se supere la maestria y expresividad que esta gran guitarrista logro en esta bellisima obra de arte musical FELICITACIONES PARA ELLA!!!
i always appreciate any kind of music transcription, especially for Bach music. Beautiful guitar player with nice music sounds.
A beautiful and insightful performance by one of today's brightest stars in classical guitar. Ms. Selder's future in music is pretty much assured.
the guitar is so articulate , almost like a piano
Wonderful playing of course
Beautifully played! What an interesting sound this antique guitar has.
For me .. so beautiful .. this music minister to my heart and soul .. thank you .. BRAVA
This guitar has a wonderful ringing sound that fits the piece perfectly, and Isabella's phrasing is eloquent.
Incredible performance.

Excelent performance, the technique, and feeling is very important. Isabella has both.
Besides this phenomenal performance, that guitar has an incredible sound

To play Bach in this way is simply a gift from heaven
Sounds like atleast 60k luthier made guitar but that would be cheap for this sound and the recording enviroment was so nice too for it
I was joking but i looked it up just after and it was actually 50k lol fun facts for today!
If Hausers were good enough for Segovia.....
I like Isabella Selder as one of the best interpreters of the young generation. Very expressive Bach!
Superb!! I could listen to this all day.
Great piece by Bach, great sound, and one awesome performance. Thank you!
I am listening 2 to 3 times each week this interpretation and I believe that Isabella move the fingers with her big soul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful playing and lovely clarity of tone on that wonderful guitar.
quando eu era estudante de Violão; ele era restrito aos homens; era muito raro mulheres tocando violão. Agora vejo no RUclips um número cada vez maior. Grandes intérpretes de altíssimo nivel.
toquem mais peças de J S Bach. Vocês Europeus, interpretam Bach como ninguém.
I want that guitar!!! What a beautiful sounding instrument. And Isabella has a tension to her playing that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
SiccasGuitar, Muchas gracias de compartir esta hermosa musica un Saludo.
excellent....i very much enjoyed listening and watching her play (learning from her) .....very beautiful work. Thank you for sharing
The best interpretation of this suite SUPERMONUMENTAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very accomplished and expressive playing. Brava. But what a sound this guitar makes - it just sings so beautifully. It grabs my heart and I cannot stop smiling.
Just perfect played. Thank you!

Absolutely beautiful
Love the 2nd cello sonata and this is an extraordinary understanding
Best wishes you deserve it Isabella
Staccato chiaro e preciso; arpeggio fluido, molto delicato; esecuzione ineccepibile, eccellente! Bravissima.
Thank you! Such an authoritative performance is rare--so beautiful, and so clear. Thank you!
Beautifully done with great emotion! The ringing tone of the guitar is superb...
Very, very beautiful. Lovely performance. Thank you very much.
Bravo Isabelle ! voilà une belle interprétation qui fait merveilleusement CHANTER cette Hauser dont on peut admirer la profondeur de son, la rondeur, avec des graves superbes et des aigus sans excès de brillance. La prise de son y est aussi pour beaucoup certainement.
Sound of this guitar is fantastic indeed. It has so much depht. In the hands of mrs. Selder this instrument just sings.
Excellent, musical and deeply felt!
I would love to hear some of the John Dowland's works with that magical tone!
Stellar playing, and the instrument has an amazing voice!
Le son de cette guitare est magnifique,cristallin avec des basses profondes,tout ce que j'attends d'une guitare...!

Si Bach hubiese conocido a Isabella esta suite se llamaría Guitar Suite 2 y para tocarla en violoncelo hubiera sido necesaria la transcripción. Monumental!!!!!!!!!!
Masterful playing. The Hauser? I have yet to hear one that is anything but exceptional, this one upholds that reputation.
Girl you have me! Wonderful! Marvelous! So expressive and intense! Loved it!
RESPECT!
Seriously bloody brilliant! i have a new "favourute" to add to my bunch of stunning players
Phenomenal performance...

Beautiful interpretation Isabella!
Great performance!!!
I really enjoyed it.
La mejor interpreter de Bach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this and also for the Eduardo Sainz de la Maza uploads.
Great phrasing and dynamic, I do feel the natural flow (like Yo-Yo Ma), better than the performance of most other guitarist.
This is wonderful Isabella Selder .
I do wish there was an album of your recordings!
This guitar also sounds remarkable.
Bravo!
Nice playing.... what an instrument! OMG....
Gorgeous!!!
