    Maestro, I want to thank you for this performance. I have studied classical guitar for 55 years (I'm now an old retired psychology professor of 67) and I have heard many performances of this piece on guitar. Yours is simply the best. It is disciplined and clear though passionate, authoritative but not ponderous, and muscular but also deeply feeling. Watching you play this and also your rendition of Bachs' Prelude to his 3rd Cello Suite teaches me something new each time about playing Bach. I am very grateful for you. I think many in the classical guitar world must feel the same way as I do. Respectfully, Cliff

    Congratulations, Maestro Edson Lopes, for this is "impossible" transcription, adaptation and performance of Bach's Toccata and Fugue BWV 565, maybe one of the most famous Organ pieces of all times. I studied Classical Guitar and Organ and never imagined I would hear it played on a Classical Guitar. I was delighted hearing all the counterpointing voices in the Fuge, strummings arpeggios, others, for Organ's long chords; transposing notes an octave lower/higher when they would be out of range; choosing Am as the key, and, of course your flawless, powerful performance. Thank you!

So, you think that the grammar is correct "save" for that error. Well, I could argue that because this musical piece is related to the present and is repeatable, present perfect should have been used, but with the use of two adverbs, it sounds a little awkward. I would have used the correct tense and omitted "absolutely".

    Estava comparando as performances dessa peça em diferentes instrumentos. Esta, incrivelmente, me soou a melhor de todas. Quando tocada nos grandes Órgãos, nas grandes catedrais, é belíssima, porém distante -- medonha por vezes. Quando tocada nos Pianos, tenho a impressão de que a frieza das teclas eclipsa a tempestade de sentimentos desperta em nós pelos acordes tão bem encaixados de Bach -- me soa mecânica demais, sem vida. No entanto, quando tocada no violão, somos tomados por um calor confortável, um sentimento de alegria, de admiração: de encanto! É incrível como um instrumento que cabe no nosso colo é capaz de ser tão expressivo. Genial interpretação e genial adaptação para violão! Um orgulho para o nosso país e para nossa herança cultural é nosso Mestre Edson Lopes!

      @Disorder, pode ser que minha visão seja um pouco enviesada, mas tenho a impressão de que todas as performances do Edson Lopes são as melhores quando comparadas com as demais, quando existem. Melhor Toccata, melhor Variações em um tema de Mozart por Fernando Sor, melhor Chaconne, etc, etc, etc. Inclusive, gostaria muitíssimo de ouvir algum dia como seria Rondo Op. 2 No. 3 do Dionisio Aguado tocado por ele. Eu poderia morrer em paz no mesmo dia caso acontecesse, hahaha

    Edson Lopez is my guitar hero. After Edson comes John Williams and Andres Segovia.
    His performances are played with the ease of a master and they give me immense joy.
    Edson is just as amazingly, a generous man.
    He offers music for free, a library of perfectly transcribed guitar pieces from the repertoire.
    His transcriptions are of the highest quality, I agree with 99% of his LH fingerings. Bless you.
    Edson is a modern day Segovia, in that he promotes classical guitar and accessibility to it, through his love for the instrument.
    Edson, Thank You for who you are all you do. Hero.
