I'm a cellist and I've performed the Bach suites many times and heard a lot of other interpretations. When I hear it on guitar, it lends some kind of a magical tranquility that you just can't do with the cello.
I'm not a cellist and I've never performed Bach, but when I hear Bach on cello.... I cry. Cello's are the best, keep listening to guitars, and keep using your cello. Thanks
The guitar offers many different Timbres. Segovia talks about this in an elegant way and said “the guitar is the easiest instrument to play but the hardest instrument to play well”
Sometimes, 3 minutes of Bach, properly interpreted, can calm a turbulent day & ease a troubled mind. This was one of those times. Thanks for sharing a wonderful performance. It made my day.
Always it can. I have Pablo Casals in my CD player and listen to this many mornings and don't feel the need to put anything else in there. Not to say it is all I listen to, but it is like morning coffee to me.
I think Back would have written many more pieces for "parlor" instruments if the Guitar was 2 centuries further in advancent. The lute lacked the lyrical dynamics, which were brought to the Guitar years later by Segovia and his work with Luthiers such as Manuel Ramirez and The German Howser. Actually he would have written conciertos for Guitar if Segovia lived in his day.
As a cellist who is currently playing this song, it transposes beautifully. For all the time I've heard of prelude its been the "Classic cello piece", but it definitely is not just great on the cello. This is proof.
This music makes me feel that the mundane and the profound are identical. That life is an epic, without anything extreme needing to happen. Just being alive is enough.
Lucky as I am, I had the privelage of performing this song alongside Julia in a One Off, street performance in Glasgow queen street, untuned ears sauntered by, but tasteful and cultured individuals stopped and listened for a moment, while she displayed the utmost grace and relentless passion the public wasn’t yet ready to hear, playing like a thousand people were listening when just a few lended their ears, I thought then, what a true artist, a warrior of her craft, forever grateful for the shared excellence we gifted the passers by!! X
There was a time, many years ago when I was just a kid, I would sit for hours on my porch and try to play as fluid as this young lady, alone except for this stray cat who used to sit and purr as I plucked the strings, never complaining that I never reached that level. It was the effort that mattered, the attempt. I wish I had that heart today, somewhere it got lost, but hearing this captures a bit of it, and reminds me of the joy of the challenge to play like the masters. Very well done young lady, very well played indeed.
A classical performance by a classy and intelligent lady. You and your performances are not just gifted, you are a gift. Thank you for sharing something so wonderful with us.
I'm an amateur player but I've been (slooowly) learning this piece and using this video as reference. So I think that by the time I've learned it I will have watched this video more than any other person! 🥇
Don’t tell Johann, but I like this piece better on guitar than on cello. And I LOVE it on cello. Amazing work and my gosh, what a gorgeous sounding instrument.
Fraulein Lange, das einzige, was schöner ist als Sie, ist Ihr Spiel und Ihre offensichtliche Liebe zu Ihrer Kunst und zu Bach. Vielen Dank für diese großartige Leistung. Beste Wünsche aus den USA und Entschuldigung für mein unzureichendes Deutsch
I love listening to Bach cello suites but I agree that this is a magnificent interpretation of the 1st suite on guitar which radiates with tranquility 😊
Eine zauberhafte Aufnahme mit sehr schönem Klang auf dieser wunderbaren Jakob Lebisch Meistergitarre ! BRAVO 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋 👋Tolle Aufnahme !! 👍👍👍 Danke fürs teilen 🙏
You've found your joy Julia. There is no sound on planet earth more beautiful than the classical guitar, as beautiful perhaps, more beautiful, not possible. Thanks Julia.
Oh boy that ending always gives me goosebumps! Well played! I played this whole suite for my junior classical guitar recital and it didn't sound nearly this good! Bravo!
Fahren gerade mit dem Zug an Köthen vorbei...eine wichtige Station in Bachs Leben...Und nun höre ich gerade diese wunderschöne Interpretation auf der Gitarre! Thank you for the Musik! 😊🎸🎶💓
Рік тому+3
it was so well played as the interpreter remembered things from her life while playing
A moment, of peace, beauty, skill, emotional content, reflectiveness, (I may have just invented a new word..) and hope, packed into 3:08. For the weary, the stressed, the worried, the uncertain, the hopeless, to come and be unburdened of the cares that trouble their hearts, and remember once again what the joy of life feels like. Thank-you Julia, May God increase your skill, your joy, your audience, and give you increased ability to move peoples hearts deeply.

@@plantreez1 It was substantially more than ignorance. The commenter"s ignorance is forgivable. What's NOT forgivable was the assertion of expertise on a subject about which it was obvious he or she knew nothing. So, according to you I'm to suffer fools gladly? By even condescending to respond to your comment I'm already doing that. Pity you feltl a need to jump into an admonition to which you weren't invited with an individual whose knowledge and expertise of the subject renders you completely outclassed. Feel to offer any rebuttal. But, do keep it pithy as I bore easily with those demonstrating intellectual inferiority.
I've been playing guitar for years (a different style) and whenever I hear a lady like this I am completely in ore of them. They play with such Devine skill and precision that I could never hope to be as good as them in a million years. And you no what? That's good because I get to listen to the beauty of it without analysing it. Fantastic 🎉❤
Yo interpretaré la misma obra en la final de un concurso en mi país y me da emoción pensar poder interpretar así, tengo 11 años y me encantó como tocas.
Du bist so toll ! Hoffe mein Enkelsohn wird mal so etwas schreiben ! Hoffe dein Auftritt war damals erfolgreich , hauptsache du trägst die liebe zu dieser Musik weiter im Herzen :)
I grew up listening to Segovia play Bach. A video like this confirms my assertion that there is nothing more elegant and soulful than Bach on the acoustic guitar. This is about as close as you can get to experiencing perfection.
Makes it look so easy! The thing with Bach is because there’s no repetition and rarely a set melody to follow, you need a phenomenal focus, concentration and memory to get through a piece like this. And he appears to have such a light, relaxed touch too. A real talent 😊
Fabulous, and for all of the reasons mentioned below. Julia is beautiful, Bach's Cello Suite No 1 is beautiful, Julia's virtuosity is beautiful, and the setting is beautiful. The problem is the setting. It is also beautiful, in the way that the house turned-museum of a long-dead classical music composer can be beautiful: elegant, refined, clean. Exactly what one would expect. This is why classical music concert halls are largely filled by a dying demographic of cotton-heads. The same piece played by Julia weaaring a sweaty and dirty house dress in a squalid apartment with a view of Mexico City or a Favala in Brazil, would, potentially, go viral. In other words, there is nothing at all wrong with presentation of classical music in its traditional formats, as we see here. And perhaps its survival will never depend on how it is presented, after all, as long as humans are able to recognize and appreciate the transcendent beauty of music it will always be with us in one form or another. But for it to thrive, it can never do so without being relevant. Safe patronoge is one thing, but the patrons will someday be gone.
Bach, unser Meister für alle, vom Barock bis zur Klassik, vom Jazz bis zum Rock. Sehr schöne Interpretation, die vergessen läßt, daß dieses Stück für das Cello geschrieben wurde. Magistral. Bravo et encore.
I found you on YT. Now I'm your fan! I loved your music and felt the love you put into playing your guitar. You are amazing and I just ask that you don't give up on your music. I loved it! KISSES FROM BRAZIL!💖❤💙💛💜💚
Very well done! I loved it. Been playing Bach on guitar for 50 years and you are well past me. You've inspired me to take another run at this piece though.
Lovely, and the wooden furnishings and other surfaces of the room doubtless help make the performance even more authentic (even with the change of instrument).
As a straight man from the southern United States I think the best compliment I can give you is that your music is so beautiful I didn’t even notice how beautiful you are yourself. Around here men typically see the pretty girl and then click on the video just to see her and I clicked on this from a google search of Prelude on guitar and my God are you something special(talent wise). Keep up the fantastic work you are doing
I have no idea why this didn’t grab me when I heard it on Daredevil but it certainly did when I heard it on Batwoman. As a metal guitarist I’m now determined to learn this. Absolutely gorgeous playing. Thank you so much for sharing.
Beautifully played! ❤The soft sound of the guitar is perfect for this piece. Makes me wonder if Bach intended it to be played on guitar as well as cello. The feeling I get is a little different with each instrument. Played on the cello it is like an evening in the autumn; a room full of books in an old house, with a fireplace and some hot drinks. Comfy and a bit thoughtful. 🎻On the guitar it becomes a light, summery tune, hummed by bumblebees in a sunny garden full of flowers. I think Bach was in a good mood when he wrote it. It is such a happy tune.
When I was a young teen, my Dad would "force" us to listen to this on classical guitar incessantly, and I learned to loathe it. This was the early 70's mind you. Now of course I am Bach's biggest fan, and this was another one of those, how did he do it?? moments.
I used to play a version similar to this. Also, my guitar has a sound similar to yours. All in all, I almost cry listening to this because I do not play since ten years ago. Thank you.
You can well see and hear in this piece that much of Bach's shorter pieces were composed as practice pieces for his musical children & other music students. This whole piece is one practice scale after another...yet it comes out as a gorgeous, calming composition. And, it sounds as good...maybe even better..on classical guitar as on cello.
She plays with beauty, authority, and feeling. Bravo! That's a nifty contraption she has there to connect her instrument to her left thigh. I play with the waist of the guitar on my left thigh, but use a 6" stool to get the "altitude" on the guitar that makes the neck/fingerboard 45 degrees to vertical. This allows me to perform "Thumb Position" on the guitar, a technique used on cello and double bass, which also sport a perfectly vertical neck. I think that's where I got the idea/inspiration. That, and I REALLY needed that one extra treble note. Necessity being the Mother of Invention, of course, and not me. Plus, I really needed that note, and now I have it and a few others, to boot.
Yeah that was spectacular. I play rock/blues, SG Gibson and Angus Young tone turned up! Your interpretation and playing ability reflects years of dedication and skill. Thanks for sharing that, loved it.
Bravo Julia ,c'était extrêmement agréable à écouter, et à regarder promener vos doigts avec tant de délicatesse . Très joli choix également dans l oeuvre de jsBach Amicalement

I transcribed this for double bass and took my exams with it.
Bach sounds good transcribed for kazoo

Kazoo? Idiot. Leave.
What a gift. Every day, for several hours, you get to live in a magical musical world above all the noise. How wonderful!
Julia Lange is the perfect guitarist to perform this lovely piece. I can listen to her play for hours.
Bach's Cello pieces always transcribe well for guitar and sounds just as good.
This music makes me feel that the mundane and the profound are identical. That life is an epic, without anything extreme needing to happen. Just being alive is enough.
If only.
@@NickNicometi Please Stop suffering

The world became a better place in just 3 minutes. AMAZING
Listening to this made today a better day.
She is a dreamy player. I'm in love with her feel.
Lucky as I am, I had the privelage of performing this song alongside Julia in a One Off, street performance in Glasgow queen street, untuned ears sauntered by, but tasteful and cultured individuals stopped and listened for a moment, while she displayed the utmost grace and relentless passion the public wasn’t yet ready to hear, playing like a thousand people were listening when just a few lended their ears, I thought then, what a true artist, a warrior of her craft, forever grateful for the shared excellence we gifted the passers by!!

There was a time, many years ago when I was just a kid, I would sit for hours on my porch and try to play as fluid as this young lady, alone except for this stray cat who used to sit and purr as I plucked the strings, never complaining that I never reached that level.

I wish I had that heart today, somewhere it got lost, but hearing this captures a bit of it, and reminds me of the joy of the challenge to play like the masters.

Don’t tell Johann, but I like this piece better on guitar than on cello. And I LOVE it on cello. Amazing work and my gosh, what a gorgeous sounding instrument.
Yes, same here.
Gorgeous guitarist, as well. ❤
don't worry we ain't tellin🙊🗿 unless he see the video🤯🗿
The build up starting at 2:09 is genius. It’s a sonic guide to the part immediately after which sounds like Grace.

It still does not reach the version of John Feeley. But its nice
Precision and clarity, the sole of talent.
The clarity and punch of the bass on that guitar is astonishing. Marvelous performance, obviously.
