I’m an organist and an amateur guitarist, and I am nearly in tears after watching this. Superior tone, phrasing, technical skill... I would give this a five minute standing ovation in a public performance. Well done, my friend.
I don't feel that way... everything's relative, though. I suppose whatever instrument a person has played the most is the "easier" instrument. Every instrument has its unique challenges, that's for sure.
Many guitarists who attempt this seem to decide that only about a quarter of the notes really matter and gloss over the rest of them. Bach wrote them all for good reason, and you, sir, bring each one alive. Splendid.
I bought a tab book to learn this song but, didn’t go through with it as it only contained 1 or two of the musical lines. So for now it’s on the back burner till I can find tab that covers most of the notes, Melodie’s and counterpoint.
I am a guitarist. I have been listening to this performance again for months. Tariq is exceptional. Technique, phrasing, sound. Bach would be happy with that
@@mariazaya4447marcin version is soo soo bad.😂 no good taste to appreciate this poor version. Marcin is only good when he play marcin otherwise it’s often crap.
For me, its not just what he plays which is impressive. Its what he doesnt play. The pauses are perfect to my ear. Not rushed. Its heavily a "call" and "response" piece. It has to talk like a conversation. Beautifully performed.
My thoughts exactly. The fermatas allow for great expression of the musician by not specifying the length of the rest. In my opinion it is more accurate to say that during the rests he "plays nothing" rather than "not playing".
Man, this guy’s tone is beautiful, and his volume control is superb. It’s videos like this that make me wish UA-cam had a love button instead of just a like
I'm a student classical guitarist, ... (studied piano for 7 years), but this performance is unreal. I'm ready to simply throw my "Fernando Sor Studies" out the window, and go back to playing harmonica as I did when I was 8 years old, {which I never got the hang of either}. I'm 66 years old now, ... guess maybe in another life. Brilliant performance!
Keep going. The only person you're competing with is in the mirror. It's not about the destination, it's about journeying through a life filled with music.
I know you posted this a year ish ago... I learned guitar right handed (even though I'm not right hand dominant) off and on throughout high school and college. Unfortunately I got sick and even though it barely stuck during lessons I seriously lost it after all of my surgeries and such... I decided to buy an electric left hand guitar and use Rocksmith to learn (I am still debating a teacher because one on one can't be beat) but maybe that'll help you keep with it?! They have lessons and technique games as well as "learn a song". Not to mention you can get custom content so you don't have to pay for songs to learn though the popular ones are locked to pay. I think it might help because it has me! We all know how much we need music in our lives and I'd hate for you to give up! If I can do it through physical and mental trauma and illness than so can you! I believe in you!!! 💙😁
Ich habe mit 4Jahren angefangen Geige zu spielen und war dann in einem Jugend Kammerorchester. Immer wenn ich Tariq höre , fühle ich es so tief in mir , dass ich jedes Mal weine. Ich bin überwältigt. Dankeschön Tariq🎸❤
How can a humble twangbox with 6 strings sound better than a church organ? In Mr Harb’s hands, it can! Unbelievable skills and musicality Tariq, thank you
@@tientje98 Yeah, fair point, but compared to several million for a new concert organ, even 3K might be described as something of a twangbox! Still Fantastic performance by Tariq Harb on a great guitar.
Electric guitarists choose amps and these top classical guitarists pick their churches. The performance is a blend of history, wood, stone, technique, dedication and love. Thank you.
Брависимо! Седнах уж за минутка да отдъхна и сега не мога да стана… като в приказка е вълшебно и това е силата на виртуозния музикант, да те освободи от собствения недъг и да те пренесе на едно съвършено място, където няма присъди, няма тревоги, няма и време - то нали времето е нашият най-голям враг. Г-н Тарик, вашите ръце ме пренесоха на едно по-хубаво място и сега се усмихвам и ми е топло и спокойно на душата. Брагодаря Ви!
Aside from the unbelievably musical and technically perfect performance, hats off to the audio/video tech who filmed and recorded it. The sound quality and acoustics is ethereal.
That audio/video tech is non-other than another spectacular classical guitarist Mr. Drew Henderson. I highly recommend to check out Drew. As well, he's part of a duo called the HK Duo. Drew plays with Michael Kolk also amongst the stellar classical guitarists on the planet.
This is without a doubt one of the finest performances of Bach’s Masterpiece that I have ever had the pleasure to have enjoyed. The fact that is performed on a guitar makes it even more special. The attention to the intensity of the sound and the absolute clarity of the call and response sections of the piece are flawless. It is a towering performance of an exquisitely crafted composition. Bravo!
My Ex Wife bought me the Music to this about 30 years ago for Christmas,no other presents were opened that day,Love Bach's Music.This is a fantastic performance.Loved it.
I was raised in a guitar store. A beautiful childhood with musicians visiting from all over the world. This monumental piece would often be played. Very few mastered it with such grace, skill, and resonance. Thank you for sharing. I listen to this and am better for it.
I was too amazed by the performance. It shows a Toccata in another light...as a light and lovely. I would never thought that it would sound so nice on a guitar.
Thank you all very much for your comments! I am grateful and at the same time overwhelmed by your words and your kind support, whether it's through commenting, liking, subscribing or sharing, it means so much and it keeps me going. I look forward to sharing more content in 2020. Have a wonderful and inspiring year ahead!
Hey, nice playing Tariq, very difficult piece. I uploaded a version of this on my channel, drove me mad working it out. Check it out... hope you like it :-)
Чарівна Паоло! Щиро дякую за відео! Я - українка. З дитинства співаю "Ніч яка місячна". Завжди дивувалася подібністю Романса Гомеса до цієї пісні. Ви так гарно пояснили, як пов'язані між собою ці твори❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wasn’t sure about this at first; I thought I would miss the “grandeur” of the sound of the organ. But this is fantastic. Beautiful playing, beautiful tone; great recording.
I am also a guitarist and I am in awe and nearly stunned to hear this favorite piece played on guitar, which I would not have thought possible until hearing this. I would love to be able to play this, even just a few passages.
I am a guitar player (solist grade). I have performed this piece in music halls. But this performance brought endless tears in my eyes. The feeling, the clarity, the dynamic range, the resonance of the guitar... Majestic. I felt like i was back in the middle grade of practice comparing your performance with mine.... Thank you from the deepest core of my heart.. Is there a chance to buy this recording in full bitrate? A cd quality perhaps?? I' d love to listen it in my high end set... Again and again...
There are a lot of organists who have posted their renditions of this song to UA-cam who need listen to this. His tempo and feeling are absolutely perfect! He GETS it. It's not a race... it should be felt. Amazing job!
Sitting here with tears streaming down... so much beauty pouring forth - Bach's incomparable music, Tariq's incomparable playing, that gorgeous guitar, the acoustics of the chapel, the outstanding, audio recording, videography and editing, all coming at me at once on this incredible color screen and speakers in my home... could we be so lucky? to have ears to hear such celestial perfection?
Mega ultra wow and respect. This has to belong to the history of what a classical guitar can achieve, perfection in every single aspect of music: nail tone, rhythm, interpretation, groove, continuity, the guitar itself, the reverb, the control, the presence of the artist throughout this gigantic piece.One of the best to ever play this instrument in my opinion.As a classical guitarist myself have to admit I didn't even expect that summit to be conquered.Almost shocked and I'm not exaggerating at all.
My thoughts and sentiments exactly. The clarity of tone, the nuanced phrasing, the volume dynamics, tempo, and flawless technical execution. This represents a new gold standard.
I didn't believe that this complex piece could be transcribed for classical guitar. I am glad i clicked to start the video. Though it is more like an adaptation than a transcription, it is very enjoyable... and it showcases what a fine instrument can do, expertly managed :) will hear it often. Thanks
I'm by no means a concert level guitarist but I am of the strong opinion that you can do anything on the guitar. Perhaps educated decisions must be made in terms of transpositions and displacing certain notes by an octave or perhaps excluded all together. But for the most part whatever it is it can be done.
@@robkrug4304 i wouldn't go so far as to state "can do anything"... for every instrument has its limited range of notes, and a computer can "play" much faster. There are also limitations as to the spread of the Left hand fingers. A transcription would play every note in Bach's composition for Pipe Organ; an "adaptation" is what you mean. A Pipe Organ is played with 10 fingers to press on keys, plus 2 feet to press on the bass pedals. For 'ukulele, it would be even more difficult to adapt this masterpiece from Bach. Nowadays, church organists don't compose much - there's so much to draw from, once an efficient music notation was developed.
I believe the prevailing opinion among scholars at present is that Toccata and Fugue was originally written for strings and transcribed to the pipe organ later, but that only a copy of the piece for organ survived. It's a very odd piece on a pipe organ, even leading other scholars to assume Bach would never have written it because he never would have written an organ piece like that. For organ, it's simplistic, bombastic, and breaks very many of the rules Bach was devoted to following... however, it's is far more natural as a composition for strings and here, the level of complexity is appropriate for a virtuoso performer. As far as 10 fingers and 2 feet go, much of Toccata and Fugue consists of octaves, if the piece was transcribed to organ, it's likely that these would have been put in to fill out what would have been a sparse sound for such a powerful, and characteristically multi-voiced, instrument; those octaves are the only part of the composition that seem to be missing here.
@@will9357 So, therefore, the scholars could have transcribed it for string orchestra. What we know for sure is that the piece survived as a Pipe Organ version... (With J.S.Bach's name on it.. ) The rest is speculation. Scholars get paid to speculate...
Wow. The guitar adds so much passion and soul to this piece. Also, love the expressiveness of the performer, he's not just playing the piece, he's... FEELING it. Amazing job.
Un arrangement somptueux du Me Edson LOPES et une interpétation techniquement parfaite:et surtout un guide sûr pour toucher la plus profonde spititualité de BACH . Merci Mr. Tariq,
I just wanted to have a peek and 9 minutes have passed. It is amazing how a man sitting in a room, with a piece of wood and strings can make these universal sounds.
Lovely....so clean too. Arpeggios where each note can be discerned, but still with shade and tone. The delicacy that the guitar brings to a piece that is so well known is very pleasing to the ear.
When UA-cam recommended this I was very skeptical, imagining that there would be no way to capture the magnificence of this organ piece using a guitar. I was wrong. Thank you so much for a masterful performance! Bravo!
The way Bach could use so many different chord progressions in a single phrase and still find a way to resolve it is truly mind-blowing. Bravo sir, a magnificent performance.
Восхищена!!! Восторг!!! Такая чёткость и чистота исполнения, нет ни одного ущербного звука! Прекрасное владение музыкальной и эмоциональной выразительностью и инструментом! Чётко выдержанный ритм!

Согласен с вами! Рекомендую познакомиться с творчеством нашего, на мой взгляд, не менее талантливого композитора и гитариста Андрея Королёва. В его исполнении меня тоже подкупила выверенность и точность всех нот, "прецизионность" звукоизвлечения. К тому же, у него очень интересные собственные произведения. У него свой сайт, там много "вкусного". Вот пример его исполнения:ua-cam.com/video/RDo_djfybRE/v-deo.html

As far as 10 fingers and 2 feet go, much of Toccata and Fugue consists of octaves, if the piece was transcribed to organ, it's likely that these would have been put in to fill out what would have been a sparse sound for such a powerful, and characteristically multi-voiced, instrument; those octaves are the only part of the composition that seem to be missing here.
@@will9357 So, therefore, the scholars could have transcribed it for string orchestra.
What we know for sure is that the piece survived as a Pipe Organ version... (With J.S.Bach's name on it.. ) The rest is speculation. Scholars get paid to speculate...
Fully agree.
Tellement c'est fabuleux à écouter que je reviens régulièrement ...
One word PERFECT
Браво Маэстро!! Каждый звук пропущен через себя!
je suis pas spécialement fan de Bach, mais cette interprétation est un pure délice.
The tone here is astonishing!
Какое счастье - иметь возможность услышать безупречное исполнение любимого классического произведения! Огромное Вам спасибо! Удивительный талант!
What an arrangement...and so flawlessly performed. Sheer genius. There can only be a few people on Earth that could play at (THAT) level. Masterly...
2:33 so Beautiful
Quelle performance merveilleuse! Un très grand bravo.
Bravo, Maestro....this touched my soul.
In this performance one could almost believe the fugue was written for guitar
Wow. The guitar adds so much passion and soul to this piece. Also, love the expressiveness of the performer, he's not just playing the piece, he's... FEELING it. Amazing job.
Je savais pas qu une guitar était aussi puissant qu un piano merci beaucoup
One of the greatest guitar performances on the internet.
На сколько простой человек может оценить ваше мастерство исполнения,я нахожу его великолепным,затрагивающим самые тонкие струны моей души.
Un arrangement somptueux du Me Edson LOPES et une interpétation techniquement parfaite:et surtout un guide sûr pour toucher la plus profonde spititualité de BACH . Merci Mr. Tariq,
These are very hard days for the whole world. Listening to this melody and how it is executed, make me have hope in the future. Thanks for your music.
I just wanted to have a peek and 9 minutes have passed. It is amazing how a man sitting in a room, with a piece of wood and strings can make these universal sounds.
Lovely....so clean too. Arpeggios where each note can be discerned, but still with shade and tone. The delicacy that the guitar brings to a piece that is so well known is very pleasing to the ear.
Гениально Маэстро! сколько труда лежит за этим исполнением.
Это не гитарист , а золото: очень талантливый!!!! Браво!!!!!!!
My neighbors will hate me for this, but i couldn't help myself, i had to stand up and applaud. Amazing, just amazing..
Tone. Dynamic control. Fun. Perfect. Loved this 100 %
Made me cry mofo...amazing job bruv....❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Closed my eyes and listened.
What a treat… the best 9 minutes wellness for my soul!
Thanks Tariq for this great performance.
When UA-cam recommended this I was very skeptical, imagining that there would be no way to capture the magnificence of this organ piece using a guitar. I was wrong. Thank you so much for a masterful performance! Bravo!
The star of piercing brightness...I couldn't have said it better myself. Peace to you, my friend.
This is clean, pleasant execution, without adaptations or improvisations. A masterpiece executed in the image and likeness of its creator!
The way Bach could use so many different chord progressions in a single phrase and still find a way to resolve it is truly mind-blowing. Bravo sir, a magnificent performance.
Thank you so much..I am fascinated..
Восхищена!!! Восторг!!! Такая чёткость и чистота исполнения, нет ни одного ущербного звука! Прекрасное владение музыкальной и эмоциональной выразительностью и инструментом! Чётко выдержанный ритм! Высокая культура исполнения! Наконец, восхищает виртуозность! Просто очарована мастерством!!! Благодарю Вас за Ваш талант! За радость, полученную от Вашего исполнения!💖👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
С уважением, Натали.
Согласен с вами! Рекомендую познакомиться с творчеством нашего, на мой взгляд, не менее талантливого композитора и гитариста Андрея Королёва. В его исполнении меня тоже подкупила выверенность и точность всех нот, "прецизионность" звукоизвлечения. К тому же, у него очень интересные собственные произведения. У него свой сайт, там много "вкусного". Вот пример его исполнения:ua-cam.com/video/RDo_djfybRE/v-deo.html
Полностью согласен с Вашим хорошим комментарием.
@@АндрейВоронин-ж8ч4и Да, Королёв хороший гитарист! Мне вот это нравится:

Моя любимая алеманда... Темп взял «правильный» - почти так же медленно, как у Николаевой, и не так трешово, как у Гульда ;-)
@@ПелагеяТутышкина-ы3ц Да, шикарно. Вот тоже вещь: ua-cam.com/video/RDo_djfybRE/v-deo.html
@@АндрейВоронин-ж8ч4и Спасибо! Я эту балладу уже послушала по Вашей предыдущей ссылке 2-летней давности ;-) Красиво: немного этники и фолка и даже что-то от фламенко. Вначале на «Аранхуэсский концерт» похоже... Прям наш отечественный Пако де Лусия!
