That reduced me to tears. Wonderful. I just closed my eyes and listened. Such beauty.
Words like yours are the best part of making music!
@@lauralootens you are most welcome!
It was Andrès Ségovia, (El señor don Andrés Torres Segovia, Marques de Salobreña ! Ennobled by the King of Spain Juan Carlos in 1981) who gave in concert for the first time in 1935 his transcription of the chaconne of the violin partita n°2… A time when the guitar was still considered an unsuitable instrument for the interpretation of classical music, and Ségovia was long criticized, even insulted for its transcriptions… From where he is, he sends winks to you knowing and admiring eyes… Like the Goldberg variations, this chaconne is undoubtedly one of Bach's most sublime and bewitching compositions and you are completely immersed in this work… A young virtuoso guitarist whom I had met a long time ago and to whom I asked why he didn't play this chaconne, answered me, "maybe in twenty years, for the moment I don't dare to climb this mountain"... If he listens to you today, he will see that “the value (and the spirituality) does not wait for the number of years”… I dare not imagine the hours, days, years of work to arrive at such great perfection combined with so much sensitivity… So many incredible things happen in these fifteen minutes of music and everything is there… JS Bach too, must give you a big smile and regret that the guitar, in this form, did not exist in its time…
Thank you very, very much! I am so touched by your kind words!
Excellent technique. Secure left hand, no string noises. Bach's abstract lines flow easily and delicately.
Dear Peter, thank you for your kind comment! I am very happy you like it! Do you play an instrument, too?
So under viewed. It deserves a huge viewership.
Thank you so much! Unfortunately it is really hard to get into the UA-cam algorithm... but sharing the video helps! And also comments like yours make me really happy!
I am 85 years old and have never heard Chaconne played with greater command. Incidentally, that is a great instrument.
The best version I have ever heard
Thank you really much :)
Dear Laura, your rendition, full of inspiration, and teamwise, rother strong, keeps your lovers in one breath. Good luck
Ich war in den 80er Jahren der größte Bewunderer der Los Romeros und auch von John Williams.
Danach habe ich fast ausschließlich Jazz gehört und nun die Liebe zur klassischen Gitarre durch Laura Lootens wiederentdeckt. Diese absolut saubere interpretatorisch auf höchstem Niveau liegende Spielweise, die den vorgenannten künstlern in Nichts nachsteht hat mich sofort in den Bann gezogen.
Leider habe ich für das konzert heute Abend in Bocholt keine Karte mehr bekommen, da es ausverkauft ist. Trotzdem werde ich versuchen noch eine Karte an der Abendkasse zu bekommen. Ihre weitere Laufbahn werde ich auf jeden Fall weiter verfolgen.
Viele Grüße und alles Gute.
Was für ein schöner Kommentar! Es berührt mich sehr, dass ich die Liebe zur Gitarre wieder erwecken konnte 😊
Dont think Ive ever heard this played with such clarity in the separation of voices. To me, the arpeggio section is the most beautiful music Bach ever wrote...maybe the most Beautiful piece of writing in all of music. Bravo!!!
I am so happy you like it!
Diese Aufnahme ist für uns auf allen Ebenen überzeugend und wunderschön. Technisch, musikalisch und interpretatorisch. Großartig ! Man hat das Gefühl "man versteht jedes Wort". Vielen Dank!
Serious clarity , depth and strength all along this interpretation .
It is remarkable that her generation is producing world wide a great number of very talented guitarists. How lucky we are and looking forwards to more transcendental interpretations from all horizons. I was earlier listening to Andrea de Vitis and Francisco Lopez and you are ending my morning trilogy with great tenure, thank you for contributing to making life better.
enormous technical skill an tons of work hiden behind grace and fluency! I could hear it again and again.
Thank you dear Pierre!
Laura, thank you from the depths of gratitude… this piece pierces right through my heart so exquisitely when played with dedication and devotion to the genius that was the sublime JS … I agree that it should be discovered on UA-cam… much admiration from the land of OZ…
What nice words to say! Thank you really much!
Beguilingly, captivating and transcendently impressive. Thank you.
Thank you! :)))
Sublime thank you :) Definitely deserves more views !!
Thanks for watching and for your nice comment! :)
Such a beautiful performance. Thank you Laura.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Amazing
Thank you!
Bravo Laura, it is a magnificent interpretation worthy of this monumental work.
Indeed as said in a comment below your part in arpeggios is incredible. I worked on this piece on the lute, for months, hours and hours, haunted day and night by this music which speaks to us of death and our place in the universe... I can testify to how demanding it is: each sentence must be perfect, each passage must have the right color, and the three parts of the triptych must also have a meaning.
I like to imagine that JS Bach composed this for the death of his first wife at whose funeral he was unable to attend. From then on, the rhythmic form of the chaconne with a very slow tempo, from the first bars, suggests to me a funeral march: men walking carrying the coffin - it must be heartbreaking, devastating.
But sorry, all this is only about personal feeling, and once again congratulations for this interpretation.
Thank you really much for your nice words and for expressing your feelings and thoughts towards this beautiful work of art! I can absolutely agree with you!
This piece has so much depth…
brilliant
Thank you very much!
Really just can't stop listening to this. Would be lovely to be able to have this level of ability, but as an amatuer I'll have to leave it to the professionals. Don't play enough these days to even get close to that! Never could. But such a delight to hear it played like this. Exquisite.
Wonderful !! Thanks!!
Thank you for the nice comment!
Bravo!
Congratulations 👏
Thanks!
Bravo 👏🏻
Thank you!
Awesome performance of such a tour de force.
Thank you!
Bravaaaaaaaaaaaaaa🎉
Complimenti 👏👏👏
Excellent!
It was very beautiful hearing you play the Bach chaconne. There were even some parts I liked more than the way Segovia plays it. So VERY impressive. Thanks!
Wow! Lovely to hear that you liked it!
Laura - BRAVA, BRAVA, BRAVA!!!❤❤❤ Danke dir!
Wow, what a great performance! The wooden stage looks as if she's sitting and playing inside a huge guitar, lol.
🥀Thank you for the Heavenly sound...🌹
Beautifully performed. Her musical sentences sound clear, fluent, coming to our ears with the proper accents, like the words of a great storyteller.
I happened to see for the first time this guitarist's performance, particular that of Chacconne.This young woman's authentic and serious attitude toward this masterpiece completely overwhelmed me in addition to other musical pieces she plays. I wonder if she likes Segovia. In her sensitive and, at the same time, strong-style performance, I feel something strong and persistant like what Segovia has. If I am wrong, forgive me. But this is my best praise for you.
Dear Yoshiki, thank you so much for this compliment! Of course I love maestro Andrés Segovia, a huge inspiration! You made my day with your wonderful words!
Brilliant lovely and moving
Thank you!
Beautiful!!
Thank you Dragos!
Loved all of it. Great expression.
Thank you for your nice comment!
Very nice played! 🎉Ich wünsche ich konnte das mal so spielen ❤sehr sauber 👌VG
Flawlessly played, the consistency of your playing is something to be admired.
Impressive hand stretching as well, it’s always awe inspiring for me as someone with very large hands to see people with way smaller hands pull off stretches that I would find annoying, must’ve taken so much work, and it really shows!
Thank you so much! When I was younger I was always upset and wanted to have bigger hands but I believe that there is a technique for every hand and I am happy to have found mine! 😊
@@lauralootens Indeed!
Wow, terrific ❤
Thank you 😊
Passionate and dynamic!Anazing performance!
Wahnsinn !
Marvelous ! ❤
Truly sensational and wonderful! Laura, thank you!!
Thank you!
Great genia .
Guitar Goddess
Hahah thank you! :))
Amazing performance 🥰
Beautiful performance. Thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks a lot!
Excellent, such a nice performance of this masterpiece. 👌
Thank you very much!
This was a truly sensational and captivating interpretation of this masterpiece - thank you so much! May I ask how you arrived at your cello-like posture playing the guitar as I have experimented a lot with this topic and and finally ended playing playing in a standing position like Zoe Barnett. All the best to you.
Amazing performance and guitar. I wonder who built it.
It is built by Matthias Dammann.
First Andres Segovia, then John Feeley then this enchantress. How exquisite!
Tol eve sil angelisi.
Thank you!!!
Хорошо
She must have been a lutenist in a past life. She plays scales with her thumb and finger.
Hahahahaha who knows🤪
