I always found this the most beautiful performance of this piece by anyone including Goran himself. It creates such elegance, solemnity, and wholesomeness in my heart ❤️
11-string baroque guitar. Göran Söllscher is arguably the greatest guitar player in the world. Yet without argument, J.S. Bach, the composer of this masterful piece, assigned the credit to where it is rightly due: SOLI DEO GLORIA! =)
This is ...PHANTASTIC PLAYING ON A REALLY HIGH Level ..Omg AMAZING ... Bach ..THIS Was Music ..I Mean i Really Like Rock , and Blues etc. But the BEST Music is Classic ..This is PHENOMENAL , and the Music of Bach is ,,I have no Words about this BEAUTYful Music
2HardBackRub that is a very dumb statement to make about a composer who defined an entire musical era. for this reason, it does not deserve a response, and i have wasted 45 very valuable seconds of my life. i'm off to eat a tomato
Per me, una delle pagine più difficili di Bach, per noi chitarristi, anche più difficile della Ciaccona...E il maestro Goran fa sembrare semplice l'impossibile! Complimenti! For me, one of the most difficult pages of Bach, for us guitarists, even more difficult than the Chaconne ... And the master Goran makes the impossible seem simple! Compliments!
Listened (and loved) so many versions of this...but THIS ONE. i need to listen about 184 more times to be sure but i think this is quite possibly the best one

+Julius Bernotas I think it is a Guitar made by the Swedish luthier Georg Bolin, I am 99.9999999% sure, because I know for a fact that the Maestro owns one.
+victorseger1 This is 100% true. This is an alto guitar made by the late Georg Bolin (1912-1993), Stockholm, Sweden. I studied guitar making for him and worked as his assistant from 1982-1992. It is tuned in G, just like a renaissance lute with descending basses down to b flat. The melody string are either tuned as the lute, or as the guitar, the difference being the tuning of the third string. It is truly an amazing instrument, here being played by a master... / Peter Bengtsson, master luthier
On Bach music he plays all notes (not in this performance) if you listen to the CD he recorded with the same guitar. Also Narciso Yepes, on his 10 strings guitar, many years before, played all Bach suites for "Lute o Cembal" using all the notes required. So, tuning the guitar depending on the tonality, you can take advantage of all the strings. Just like the ancient lute players did.
The D in the second bar of the second part of the Bourrée is raised an octave on normal guitars which sounds quite odd (as is the case for many other Baroque music transcribed for standard guitars). Happy to hear it on a guitar that can play it correctly! Seriously the standard 6 string guitar really can't dip deep enough and I wish 8 strings were the standard. Definitely gonna get myself a nice 8 string when I can.
Edouard Deflandre the relation of the intervals was adjusted more and more in time to be able to play in multiple keys. Nitpickers like to point that out, but E Minor is still E Minor, 30 Hz more or less. Also yes, it sounds like he plays in G, i guess either special tuning or a video issue.
wooki321 The typical tuning of the 11-string alto guitar is (from high to low): g d a f c G F Eb D C B. This puts the instrument to G, up a minor third from standard guitar tuning.
Guy Shapira Thank you, sir, ever so much, for allowing me to finally read something intelligent in the comment section. Please, try to stay conscious. We may be all there is, if I may be so brashly conceited to presume myself a peer to the likes of you, sir. Thank you, Sincerely, John Paul Warhol
Goran is easily one of my favorites. The guitar is an 11-string Alto that is either a Bolin or a copy of a Bolin (by Anders Uppstrom?). These guitars have the same 6 strings as a "standard" concert guitar, with 5 bass strings added to be able to play lute suites (such as what these two pieces are from) as written. If you can't find one used, you would have to order one and then wait for it to be made for you. Bolins are very rare and valuable; however, a copy might go for under $20,000.00.
You're right. He was absolutely focused on the first six strings. #NoMorePSUV_G4 #ForceIsNeededToCrushMaduro #TransitionWithoutChavistas #SeeYouInFreedom
***** Although this modified guitar has 11 strings, here the musician never uses more than the common six strings of a standard guitar. I guess the other five are for when he needs bass notes. It's sort of like those double-neck guitars played by some country artists from the 1960s. Just a gimmick.
I made a couple of versions with some audio noise filtering, see if you like it. Here is the first one, a link in there to the 2nd one: ua-cam.com/video/pF6zzboDygs/v-deo.html
Douglas Adams once said that Bach's music is so profound that everyone listening to it would think that he is the only person in the world that can understand it and that somehow this was written personally for him.
Ouais, il joue comme moi....mais tellement mieux ! Pour découvrir Bach ou Vivaldi c'est l'un de mes interprètes favoris; plein de pudeur et de délié dans le jeu. Vraiment très beau.
Esta usando algunas mas que las seis habituales, ademas las cuerdas mas graves, aunque no suenen pulsadas, están vibrando por simpatía con las que esta tocando, produciendo de esta forma un resultado muy similar al obtenido con el laud, instrumento para el que fue escrita esta obra.
The difference between a 12 string and 11 string guitars is much greater than just one string. The 12 string is similiar to the 6 string in tuning except each string has an additional string which is tuned the same as that string. I think the first two are tuned in unison and the other four are tuned an octave up. I don't know much about 11 string but I assume they are much more difficult and would take much more practice. Like when you go from 6 to 12 string it's pretty easy because you don't have to learn any new strings.
For 43 years, he learned to play these 4 minutes 34 seconds , every day!:)
And he's still playing today! With his own UA-cam channel!
he practiced!! not learned. this is easy honestly
Tú ya has practicado ???? Algo?????
Не верится, что человеку смертному под силу сочинить и воспроизвести на тленном инструменте подобную красоту.
Не верится!

Extraordinary! The gigue is difficult to play with such ease and precision!
It's actually easier than how it looks
Музыка Баха вечна.Отличное исполнение!!!
puuuure relief at the end. those pieces are really hard, and he did them without a single blemish
Between 1:30 and 1:31 there's a single blemish! :)
I have no words, crazy, a musical genius. I'm fascinated
I am lost for words also!😀

Sollscher is certainly a gifted guitar player, and you could say he is one of the greats, but "the greatest guitar player" he is not.
Can't you see he's the man, let me hear you applaud

Very kind from him not to play the low notes. This encourages me to keep practicing the gigue with the guitar of 6 strings, thanks Goran.
BACH: siempre INSUPERABLE.
Fantastic performance! The genius of Söllscher channeling the genius of Bach. Thank you🙏🏼
I saw him live around this time.
An amazing performance and an amazing instrument.
Soy Mexicana, este instrumento no lo conocía, pero me gustó mucho, lointerpreta muy bien, felicidades.
One of the best performance of this piece.
brutally difficult piece that I've wrestled with for years. So stinking difficult! yet he does it beautifully! kudos
Sounds like 2 guitars, so clean, so precise, and love that he is not reading music, all within, absolutley breathtaking!
Listened (and loved) so many versions of this...but THIS ONE. i need to listen about 184 more times to be sure but i think this is quite possibly the best one
I know what you're talking about. 😄
I am a Goran Sollscher fan as well. This is simply incredible to watch. Thank you very much for sharing.
Very soft and more than beautifully.

Fabulous!!! The repetition of the last sequence is very logical ..👏👏👏
Fantastic!!! So many strings!!!
Perfect as always. I heard this masterpieces from Goran long time ago. I this discovered this beautiful music. Thank you.

Smooth and at the same time articulated, I like it!

Absolutly mind blowingly amazing

This gigue is amazing

grande interprete di bach pulito trasparente con le voci primarie e secondarie ben evidenziate
Sì esatto daccordo
Adoro ler italiano em voz alta. E, a escrita é super parecida com o português e facil de entender. Abraço
👏👏👏
why should anybody need any copyrights for Bach when his music belongs to the whole world ?
Copyright for recording of the performance...
Someone just joined the internet today 😂
very beautiful

You can’t disprove an opinion.
Respect.
Great master!!! 👏👏👏
Esse cara toca pra caralho
Exquisite
quel génie ce Bach !
Amazing
Music is the Lang of cosmos
Fantastic!! Greetings from Brasil!
Pour paraphraser Cioran, Bach a élevé la répétition à l'état d'œuvre d'art...que dire d'autre...c'est une musique céleste

AFAIK Yepes used the four extra strings only for resonance

Thanks for posting.

this is just class.
Astonishing...
It seems to me that he plays it in G minor, instead of the original E minor. Is it correct?
You're right.
Edouard Deflandre the relation of the intervals was adjusted more and more in time to be able to play in multiple keys. Nitpickers like to point that out, but E Minor is still E Minor, 30 Hz more or less.
Also yes, it sounds like he plays in G, i guess either special tuning or a video issue.

Beautifull sound!
Awesome!
It is an 11 string baroque guitar, 6 are normally played, the others are for resonance mainly
needs more strings...
11 down 8990 to go

Joe Sitter It's not like he could ever play another piece on this instrument right?
TheIsaacshepherd Of course, that's true. In fact, there could be a few pieces he plays in which he feels the need for one or two more strings.
.
Excellent execution, wonderful sound! Could you tell me what kind of strings you use? or the calibers according to the shot?
