Even though I was just overwhelmed by BWV1001's performance, another historic performance was added. These are blissful days for someone like me who loves Bach's music. The characteristics of the maestro's performance include the clear separation of each note, the outstanding beauty of ornaments such as cross-string trills and mordents, and the skill with which he handles contrapuntal voices. However, I think the most appealing thing about him is that he expresses the joy of music in an extremely restrained and rational way, while refraining from making exaggerated gestures. I would like to express my gratitude for the good fortune of being born at the same time as the maestro.
Masterful, musical, clean, thoughtful, virtuosic. Drew does; it seems effortless; what we all aspire to-intelligent, deliberate, intentional, and, most importantly, an emotional connection to what Bach wants us to feel from his music.
On dit que la perfection n'existe pas mais là on s'en approche grandement ! Bravo mr Henderson, vous êtes assurément un grand maitre de la guitare et en particulier pour le répertoire baroque. ❤❤❤
I have just witnessed Drew Henderson and Stephanie Jones play the same Bach Lute Suite, and both gave entirely unique performances! Each was superlative and transformational, and I consider this Midsummer June 2024 weekend to be a personal watershed in Classical Guitar.
Thank you, Drew - I love Bach so much - I remember reading that Casals used to play some Bach each day as a benediction on the home - for me that would also be a benediction on the planet. It must be like that for you to play the Prelude slowly each day. I really appreciate that you sensitively honour the music with your heart, and that your wonderful technique is always used to support the music. Thank you for your musicianship and care, Best wishes.
Hi Drew. I only recently became aware of your work, and you've quickly become my favorite guitarist. Magnificent. I can't tell you what joy it has brought me. Thank you.
Drew's technique is incomprehensible, effortless, and meticulous. His performance unfolds layers of expression-each note sings purposefully, and every phrase is shaped with an exquisite sense of musicality.
La gran virtud de los maestros es que hacen parecer fácil lo que es terriblemente difícil, ya sea por su complejidad técnica como interpretativa, gracias maestro por hacernos disfrutar. Simplemente espléndido
What a performance! Timing, dynamics, ornamentations: another level of interpretation and technique. Mr Henderson, you reached the ecxelence on the classical guitar: congratulations!
I am presently listening (halfway through) and was pleasantly caught off guard by the beauty and sensitivity of the Loure. Truly a lovely, captivating recording. Thank you for creating this.
Excellent! The seventh string and f# tuning (and your technique) really made your interpretation very smooth. You are spot on with the Loure! Looking forward to your recording.
What a way to understand and feel the third Partiata! There is already so much depth in Bach's music and in a lesser but still significant degree in your playing of it, that now, after listening to you, I can no longer see a transcription like this as something containing any "additions" to Bach's original music, but rather as an laying out of a possibility already conceived By Bach and already contained within the original score. Your musical understanding and artistic vision is quite obvious, and I am amazed by the talent that you have been given from above. You did not only find a working and convincing interpretation of the voices in Bach's original violin music, but also of the additional bass lines and middle voices, which you have played with a right amount of clarity. They give the main melody a much more definite meaning, so they are bold in nature, but of course one does not want to overstate them, as the stage belongs more to the higher voices. The musical phrases in your performance are as natural as verbal phrases in a conversation. A great performance of a thoughtful interpretation, thank you for sharing it with us! Also, a great instrument for Bach, my favourite measures were probably 10:18. The registers are similar enough for phrasing arpeggios and horizontally wide ranging phrases, but also different enough for shading and contrasting the different voices. I wish you all the best for your personal life and your musical career!
I liked it the relaxed concepcion of these pieces that normally (specially prelude) are played more fast and aggressively, is very best to appreciate the beauty of Bach's music. Good job Mr Drew!
Drew! Come sempre meraviglioso, hai una musicalità pazzesca, sei il mio idolo e mi hai fatto appassionare ancora di più a questo strumento, spero di poter diventare proprio come te un giorno, un chitarrista che anima i sentimenti delle persone con la sua interpretazione musicale 😀👏
Thank you Mr Henderson. Bach's music is a balm to the soul, especially guitar renditions. I listen to whichever one I manage to find, and I'm always thrilled whenever a new one of yours comes up. Your playing has a compelling characteristic to my ears that makes it unique, I can't quite make out what it consists of. It is perfectly intonated and timed, it is harmonious and lively in the way it expresses tonal and volume dynamics, it is mesmerizing to look at, it has the same perfect charm as a natural element, the same fluidity of a river gently flowing, it honestly doesn't look human to me but rather transcendental. Thank you for sharing these cunningly fascinating videos for free. For a beginner guitar learner like me they surely are a treasure of beauty and inspiration.
Thank You very Much Mister Henderson. Because You play with your Soul You avoid looking on the Guitar, don‘t You. For me seems the best playing i ‚ve heard; perhaps thats why. The spirit through human bach and You sattidfight so much.
Churches and religion have completely failed humanity. Why are none of them speaking out against Israel committing genocide in Gaza? And now Lebanon. Churches have lost all credibility. All the pastors and priests are cowards, watching children being butchered yet saying not a word. They don't live the teachings of Christ.
The guitar you play is remarkable and suitable for the music. The Gavotte was a favorite of mine to play so long ago when many of the great players of the 20th century were around and seemed to make Bach a natural on the guitar.
Hay maestro usted toca muchísimo, muchísimo... muchísimo.. es tan increíble y tan impresionante tanto virtuosismo.. la verdad cada instante es Hipnotizante. A los que amamos la guitarra no hay palabras para describir tanta belleza.
Sounds wonderful, Drew. I've been verging on exploring this work and I think you've inspired me to dive in. Cheers and please keep up the fine work you do!
I feel so ridiculously honoured to be able to open UA-cam with a tap and then have the possibility of being immediately transported into Bach’s divine creations interpreted so flawlessly!!!!! Have you ever played in Sydney? If not, why not?🙏
This guy should definitely have a fan club. Is that what we are?
Count me in!
I am in!
@@Fuckyoutube-gz6gu sooo how does one create a fan club? 😂
Absolutely! Count with me either!
i just joined, hey fellow fans

Bach is the only and eternal God in my heart! You are the only emissary he has sent to earth.
I have just witnessed Drew Henderson and Stephanie Jones play the same Bach Lute Suite, and both gave entirely unique performances! Each was superlative and transformational, and I consider this Midsummer June 2024 weekend to be a personal watershed in Classical Guitar.
I agree. The differences in interpretation always amazes me. My heart is full.❤
Also see if you feel the same gratification watching Granada by Tariq Harb and Ana Vidovic!

Thank you so much. It's like a bit of a meditation for me to play Bach slowly, every moment is so great it's nice to take the time to savour it.
Just so beautiful thankyou !

3:48 this is without a doubt one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
Oh I hear ya, bud.🥰
@@esterhudson5104extasis in that seconds!🎉
An absolute stunner. It was a privilege to be a part of this, thank you Drew.
Hi Drew. I only recently became aware of your work, and you've quickly become my favorite guitarist. Magnificent. I can't tell you what joy it has brought me. Thank you.
1:53 to 2:15 is pure magic, thank you Drew, and thank you Bach
７弦ギターは初めて聴きます。
ヴァイオリンでは表現できないものを感じます。
あなたはマエストロ
です。ありがとう！🙏👍👍👍👌🥇🇯🇵
Drew's technique is incomprehensible, effortless, and meticulous. His performance unfolds layers of expression-each note sings purposefully, and every phrase is shaped with an exquisite sense of musicality.
You are certainly a Canadian guitar legend too. Thanks for sharing.
Your performance simply outperforms all CDs and lives that I’ve ever heard, in every aspect.

Drew, outdone yourself even! Bach should return even just for the Prelude. Timing, Tone, Arrangement perfection all.
J.S. Bach played by a true virtuoso pure joy Thank you Drew you are 1 of a kind
Thank you so much!
Спасибо за доставленное душевное удовольствие в День Святой Троицы! Привет из России в день замечательного праздника, Нижний Новгород.

Just beautifull , the guitar ,the guistarrist, the sound recording, the interpretation and Bach the greatest !!
My word. The prelude is favorite piece for the guitar. Kicked it outta the park!! Bravo!! Pretty strings as well.

I'm so glad to hear this guitar music, thank's so much 🤗
The performance of the prelude is really amazing.. almost perfect.

First time I've been on when you've uploaded and I'm so glad I was, this was badly needed today, thank you! Gorgeous piece performed to perfection!
You're so welcome! The next video is almost ready to post also, so stay tuned!
El alma se llena de dicha al escucharlo....gracias!!!
Here is another Canadian virtuoso -- what Glenn Gould was on the piano, Henderson is on the guitar. Outstanding !
Great musician and great interpretation !!!👏👏👏
Vo combining the guitar and the lute, really gives us the best of both worlds.
Magnificent! I'm always so taken with your tonal balance and control of dynamics.
Gran interpretación. Gracias por tanto talento.
Just stunningly beautiful Drew. And so fitting for Bach to be played and recorded in church.
Churches and religion have completely failed humanity. Why are none of them speaking out against Israel committing genocide in Gaza? And now Lebanon. Churches have lost all credibility. All the pastors and priests are cowards, watching children being butchered yet saying not a word. They don't live the teachings of Christ.
I loved the prelude so much. Especially the staccato in some of the melodic lines are so good! Thank you so much for sharing your music.
Glad you liked it! Left hand staccato is basically my favourite thing to do on the guitar.
I'm just blown away every time I watch one of your videos. Exquisite!
Breathtaking performance 🎉🎉 in every way.
Es la versión de la suite que más me gusta. Precioso.
Wow! I couldn’t imagine a better performance of this piece.
Such a beautiful performance of these magnificent pieces! Bravo, Drew!!!

Thank you so much Hugo! Your generosity is really appreciated!
Incredible performance 👏
굉장한 연주네요. Bravo!
Muchas gracias Drew, es la mejor música que escuche en mi vida.
Bach would be proud
Шикарное исполнение! Belissimo!
Wonderful
Just beautiful. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Bravo❤Drew👏Bach must be happy to listen to your guiter ! So beautiful church resonance⛪️
Wow, just exquisite and masterfully played Drew! So good to hear you are on to a new recording/album of Bach. Gorgeous church space to record in.
Thanks Rick! The best part about this church is that it is in a small town with no outside noises. A welcome change from the downtown Toronto church.
I once suggested this, and eehm, I think you told me its hard, and I agree
But you are closer to it than I expected. Great Job!
I absolutely love this on guitar than on violin! Thanks YT for the rec and Drew for the stunner! Looking forward to the album already.
Simply the best !!!!
감사합니다.
Thank you so much for your generosity😀

Astounding perfection! Just Wow!
That’s excellent
Stunning! Thank you so much for sharing. I love the left hand staccato in the Prelude. Great contrast.
As always superb ! ❤
Som muito bonito. Impressionante o acabamento dado a obra, seja tecnicamente e muisicalmente. Parabéns!
You did it! Love it!!!
Beautiful music.
Παιχταράς, εύγε.
that playing face on a classical player is achieved in 15-20 years of playing
hahaha, I'm always amused when I watch myself and think "I really do that with my face?"
@DrewHendersonGuitar that face is the code, bro 😃
Another beautiful performance Drew! I’ll have to keep an eye out for the album.
Wonderful, as always :)
Amazing playing! 👏👏👏👏
Excellent. Great interpretation!
Sooo wondefull..., gorgeous articulation!
Pure perfection! Mindblasting!
Jesus blew me away ❤
Can't stop listening.
Tks.
DearDrew, Babolutely stunning ... I look worward tobeing even morestunned by you inthefuture. Sincerely, Alan
Bach may be not that challenging for a lot of musicians, but I love Bach above all
