Amazing work Sanel, I hope hear more from you.
I should've bought bach's 6 violin partitas and sonatas for violin, so I could've played it on guitar.
@@brandonwoodson9348 No need to buy it, my friend! It's in the public domain for a long time now ;-)
Beautifying music, however you failed to mention the 0:56min brickSky fingerprint intro.
Galou le Bougalou thank for marking the movements (sections)🙏
@Konstantin Ridaya In fact, most of Bach’s harpsichord concertos are transcriptions of his own earlier works.
I do not play an instrument of any kind, I do not have a trained ear to judge any performance, and I have not studied musical theory, so any comment I make is purely as a listener who knows what he likes when he hears it. I found this to be flawless in execution and the video production to be first rate. Again, no education or qualifications to make such statements. But as one that enjoys classical music I found this a wonderful performance and like some have mentioned, who in the world gives this a thumbs down? What were they expecting to see or hear that wasn't there? Great video and performance.
Everything you did here was absolutely incredible. Every single note. But - that Sarabanda - something very special about the way you played that. And then... the Giga - wow! Impressive! Bravo!
Let us be deeply thankful that Bach wrote such beautiful music and that there are wonderful musicians like Sandel Redzic to play for us.
One of the outstanding features of Mr. Redzic's artistry is his shaping of every note into an equally shaped phrase - dynamically and colorwise - in a kind of "narrative" which is the wonderful music we experience. His right hand produces different colors and dynamics effortlessly and without any radical shifts. Like a writer who starts with the meaningful sentence, and then creates a meaningful paragraph and then another, and another and says something meaningful in a superbly well-crafted text that represents language at its most concentrated. Mr. Radzic is the instrument who seemingly dissappears so that we only experience the musical statement. This is another level of guitar playing that transcends the mere digital facility or technique of just very talented players. This is the kind of musicianship one experiences among the world class performers of other instruments. The guitar is indeed doing well with musicians (not just mere players or guitarrists) like Mr. Redzic who I would number among the top 10, 5 or 3 currently active such as Paul Galbraight, Marcyn Dilla et al. Even among the créme de la créme, Mr. Redzic is in a class of his own.
This whole Bach Suite congels into a single organically-structured musical narrative from the Allemand to the Chaconne. And it is thus that his first-rate musical mind conveys the beauty, essence and profound transcendental feelings and emotions. What a rare moving experience!
With deep appreciation for your artistry, intelligence and musical soul which bring much joy and pathos.
Only an amateur who has struggled with his guitar for 55 years knows the effort need to reach this level. Rich sound from the instrument..and don't forget Bach who was the voice of god....
Poignant line and apt comment... thank you, dear Meister Redzic, for this profound performance. Compliments from Germany :)
Figgy 4 hahaha what an idiot comment.
@Figgy 4 epic comment
@Figgy 4 What does that even mean?
OK, I AGREE.
Those hand stretches in Chaconne, holy moly.
It never cease to amaze me the capability of humans to possess extreme talent like yours. Thank you so much for sharing.
193 people disliked this performance?!? Who? Why?
Clean exacting playing. Impeccable sound. Bach played with all the emotion, bravado and sensitivity that Bach deserves. Thank you young man.
No excuses. Sorry to say those 193 individuals might have a limited soul and sensitivity
@@GataIsabel I completely agree.
193 individuals who are quite preoccupied playing Smoke on The Water out-of-tune on floor Schecter models in guitar centers around the country.
I'm assuming it's not the playing or music but the scenery. Just a feeling. But whatever the reason, the playing is perfectly splendid.
@@peterpickguitar Agreed.
Ich bade in Tränen vor Freude, wenn die Chaconne erklingt - Spitzenperformance, die mir aus dem Herzen spricht
Ja, geht mir auch so!
In the Chaconne, it always amazes me how Bach juxtaposes such tense and dissonant chords to form a beautiful song.
If I could only play on piece for the rest of my life that would be the chaconne
One of Bach's most inspiring pieces. I listen to it often. An amazing performance.
No sane person could seriously be critical of Sanel’s incredible performance here, I suggest the 👎🏻 thumbs down are a direct response to the intrusive ads which by their content are in stark contrast to the spirit of his music making. Bach’s magnificent music is Worlds apart from that which is inhabited by Trendy advertisers.
One of the best most appropriately sounding Partita 2 renditions, possible!👌👏👏👏
To Sanele, perfektno - osjećajno, Bachovski intelektualno.
This has left our world a better place, bringing truth,beauty and meaning, to make existence worthwhile.
What the heck is wrong with that.
Absolutely nuttin.

And I can't even breathe for 33 minutes straight without messing up.
This was beyond words on so many levels. Bravo!
Very very good! He plays even fast parts meaningfully, expressing fine details and emotions. He plays both strongly and sensitively. Sound quality is excellent. He understands counterpoint, he doesn't rush, his articulation is clear, he has much more dynamics in his play than most... One of the best for sure!
What an achievement - gorgeous playing and video production.
Words can simply not express how much I love this performance, or how many times I have watched it over the last few days. It is truly Bach as worship.
One of the "traps" of listening to classical guitar is the focus on a player's digital facility with scales and arpeggios (believe me, pianists and violonists take all that for granted). And also with "clean" playing and gorgeous tone (this latter is the basis for the even greater musical expression since music is organized sound that conveys something...just what...who knows or cares...the experience is esthetic...and spiritual...without necessarily implying any religious doctrine....it is a feeling.) This Bach suite has many performances, but is rarely heard at the level here. Bach is often lost in transcription, but here the music unfolds in its original grandeur (which surely Bach had in mind and heart when he wrote it...and that Bach was a devout Christian does not circumscribe his music or limit it within only the Christian sensibility). This is the really difference between a great musician like Mr. Redzic and just great guitarrists. It seems as if Bach wrote this with Mr. Redzic in mind and dedicated it to him as the perfect candidate to interpret his (Bach's) intentions and sense of arquitecture. Yes, the magnificent chords, the cascading scales and arpeggios...the gorgeous full-bodied tone that guitarrists contemplate in awe. But the music here goes beyond all those provincial concerns: you want fast scales, listen to Angel or Pepe Romero...they'll blow you away. But you want music: listen to Mr. Redzic...you'll feel the transcendence...that certain, undefinable or spiritual quality of music. Like a religious feeling...without any religion.
Great visual production as well. The tilted camera angle as if the music were soaring upwards. But this music is so much more than the beliefs or credo of its composer.
There is a video on youtube where Mr. Redzic shares a little bit on how he went to pursue further education. Not only is he an accomplished musician he works very hard for this result. I am happy I came to hear this version, it is fantastic!
Clearly an interpretation and performance of the highest standard. It merits greater attention.
Koliko je samo dubine utkano u svaki ton, u svaki pokret leve, a posebno desne ruke. Gospodine Redžić, Vi sa godinama dobijate sve ono što Bahove note traže. I duh, i intelekt, i srce. Slušajuci Vaše sviranje već nekoliko godina unazad i prateći sve ono što snimite, sa zadovoljstvom primećujem kako svaki novi snimak odaje za nijansu dublji duhovni zanos i Vaše promišljanje Bahove muzike. Ne mogu ni da zamislim kako će Bahove note, koje budete svirali za nekoliko godina, zvučati. Ako se iko uspeo približiti gotovo savršenom sviranju klasične gitare, to ste, u ovom momentu, svakako Vi. Samo, molim Vas, budite i dalje toliko temeljni i uporni u traženju značenja Bahove muzike.Ta dubina prosto nema kraj...
The peak is high, above the clouds.
The risks are immense: you can break your neck. But once you get up there, you can hear the voice of God.
Knowing how to play the Chaconne in this way is already a marvel, but doing the entire Partita BWV 1004 for violin, from memory and with an exorbitant clarity of sound... it's a miracle!
La vetta è alta, al di dopra delle nuvole.
I rischi sono immensi: ci si può rompere le ossa del collo. Ma arrivati fin lì su, si può sentire la voce di Dio.
Saper suonare la Ciaccona in questo modo è già un portento, ma fare tutta la Partita BWV 1004 per violino, a memoria e con una pulizia del suono esorbitante... c'è da gridare al miracolo!
What an outstanding transcription and performance.....I listened to it every day!
Aida Markiw :)
You make everybody to think it is easy, but believe me it is so hard to play this well! Only a very few can do it as good as this.
I assume many,many hours study and practice is needed to reach this level of excellence. Many thanks for this wonderful music !!
I have heard all the modern guitar interpretations of this piece under the Sun (UA-cam). This one is absolutely unbeatable. The only one who may be able to improve on this may be Sanel himself!
Bravo!
JA S :)
I thought Sanel Redzic had made the ultimate guitar recording of the Chaconne in 2007... until I listened to this one! At par with Itzhak Perlman's violin version! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Csodálatosan szép ez a videó. Már oly sokszor végig hallgattam... Aki már megpróbálta valaha eljátszani például a Chaconne-t, pontosan tudja, micsoda elképesztően sok munkát kell befektetni egy ilyen kiváló előadásba. Minden darab, mely itt elhangzik nagyon magas fokú technikai tudásról tesz tanúbizonyságot. Évek kitartó munkájának eredménye! Gratulálok Sanel Redzic!
May the golden era of the guitar last forever, may virtuosos and masters like this gentleman live long for our enjoyment, and may the grandiosity of Bach, the immortal, continue to be the musical highway to heaven, not there somewhere, but here in our intimacy.🙏👍🙏
Such passion, you have brought a reason to my life to carry on. Thank you for you absolute lovely playing 😊
The most flawless technique I've seen since John Williams.
Look xavier jara
Wonderful playing and wonderful interpretation. I really like the harmonic additions that he made to the score, very tasteful.
Absolutely astonishing. Only a few guitarist can interpret the vibe of Bach. Playing Bach does not soley really on a musicians skill. Instead, music intuned with the spirit is a abstract essence of connection between man and musical tranquility. TIMELESS performance. Thank you
Congratulations to Mr. Redzic, and the director and producer of this wonderful recording. Bravo is all I can say. I won't even be curious about the 16 thumbs pointing down - even when Bach was around his music was thumbed down by his employer at the church for being inharmonious or strange sounding. A polished performance beautifully captured. How can one not be moved by this composition , the depth of the human mind which created it?
Makes me wish for the umpteen million times that this kind of technology and recording technique had existed before the old master left this world. Just one Sunday recording at the old Thomaskirche in Leipzig is enough, just one. Video would be nice too, but I'll settle for audio alone :). Toccata & Fugue by....well, Bach.
It might interest the audience that the 14-minute Chaconne was written in memory of Bach's first wife who passed away while Bach was travelling on foot to pay tribute to another composer. We should be thankful that he actually outlived half of his own children. Perhaps music has something to do with the auto-immune system? Sorry I digressed.
How could anyone give a thumbs down? The performance was perfect! Proof positive that the world is full of idiots.
@愛 What a harsh comment! Mr. Khor didn't say anything about his sons but about his children. I think what he meant is that we should be thankfull for the longlivity of JS Bach. To understand what a persons intentions are is also an art :-).
Barry Khor It is said that the Chaconne embodies the very pinnacle of Bachs’ work.
Barry Khor thumbs down means only jealousy.
@愛 it baffled my mind how you actually thought I was cheering the untimely deaths of his children. It is obvious that I was thankful of Bach's longevity. Please be respectful. It baffled my mind because if you were a fan of Bach like I am, there is no way your heart could allow such negative criticism. As for the other 2 points, I have no clue how I could have offended you, or the points you were trying to make. I don't apologize for my love of Bach and my love for Bach.
_Did someone say, "He knocked it out of the park?_
_The Chaconne was simply AMAZING!__GOD bless you Sanel!_
In my semi-retirement I have a chance to visit You Tube and see all the fine guitarists play beautiful music. The player is educated and does well. The guitar has a certain edge that is quite resonant, which to me, washes out the real voice... but what I hear underneath is the voice that is quite appealing, trying to get out and express its beauty. So I think that time played will help the voice to come to be dominate and the guitar will be great. Congratulations.
Stellar, both visually and aurally! Made my morning SO much brighter - thank you!
This is a pure guitar touch. No matter what Mr. Redzic is playing at all, it means just music to the full and proper form. It doesn't need to be composed by any high name, as such, it puts the musical form to the secondary stage. Mr. Redzic aims it definitely to be that quality. It's not just talent, it's the idea in mind and 'Maestro' perfectly accomplishes it through an absolute dedication. Bravo many times...
Listening moved to tears.
I’m so glad that there are people with skill and dedication who share them through such wonderful playing as this. It takes any aspiration of playing so well completely out of my reach that I don’t need to practice so much but can just smile and enjoy your playing. Thank you.
there's always that person who looks at your playing and thinks the same
This brought tears to my eyes, the mastery and instrument are exquisite.
I teared up as well, such clear,lucid and touching rendition...
Thanks for posting. Beautifully played.
Impeccable techniques and clarity. Thank Sanel for playing wonderful Bach.

Thank you, Mr. Redzic, for making me hear J.S. Bach, as if for the first time. You made clear that he was the first and still among the best jazz musicians of all time. . . . a spiritual experience I take with me. Thank you. Your Chaconne is a prayer ... answered.
Exquisite music. Beautifully rendered. Thank you.
Perfection at it's finest!!!!!

Bravo, maestro! The chaconne from this partita is a favorite piece for many players (including myself), but this is one of the top renditions I ever heard. And of course, the other parts are superb too. Such a beautiful musically advanced performance!
I am a lifelong degreed classical guitarist and you have a exceptional gift. This music touches my inner most being.
Wow! masterful performance, thank you Sanel!
