Having heard the Chaconne by so many grear guitarists and violinists (as well as the Brahms and Busoni transcriptions for piano), this stands among the best. She completely and seamlessly effaces any technical difficulties and what remains is remarkable phrasing, coloratura, dynamics and the purest conveyance of the piece's emotional depth and range. Ms. Yamashita dignifies the amazing legacy of her father and brings her own unique personality and rendering to this Bach masterpiece.
I don’t think so. I’ve left a comment, maybe you want to read it.
@@hxyjdn where is your comment, please?
@@vayasaberlo8 Don't bother, his stink of a long comment is correctly buried long down the comment list.
@@hxyjdn You do realize, that this is the actual personal channel of the artist showcasing her skills? Why do you need to be a prick about it? If you prefer Feeley and Segovia, then go to their channels. Feeley actually got one. Segovia have made many recordings in his life, which is even better for you to listen to, because then you do not need to insult people on social media, while you on top feel on higher moral and intellectual grounds. I by the way love Feeley's Chaconne, but Segovia's music in general not so much at all. Actually an acquainted of mine ruined that for me once and for all, not by purpose, but simply by pointing out the fact, that Segovia, with his abnormal huge hands and fingers, had an habit of overstrumming and massively make emphasis on notes, which are not highlighted in the actual music score at all or on any other instrument, and it is true. Once heard that, I could never unhear that again. Another thing is, Feeley made his best version of this music in his 50s and Segovia also late in his career. The Chaconne is a showcase piece on many instruments, because it of course is very beautiful, but also is notoriously hard to play to perfection. Kanahi Yamashita is today a mere 26 year young lady and at the recording at most 23 years! She do astonishing well, and in all effect, what I read you really saying down the line is, that you prefer a man's version over a tiny female guitarist, because smooth performance is not something, that you value. Well, I feel the other way around then, I much prefer the version of Yamashita and also Anabel Montesinos over almost anyone out there, maybe except for the version of Moran Wasser on an 11-string guitar. He do however also play this piece significantly more smooth and modern, than Segovia did.
@@hxyjdn By the way, Kanahi Yamashita won an award at European Bach Guitar Competition in 2022, so people in the know sure thinks, that she do well.
Where a passage of solid chords opened out into a rolling succession of individual notes, it took my breath away and brought tears to my eyes - the most visual experience I have ever had, while listening to a piece of music. The wonderful thing about Bach is the way it demands from everyone who plays his music, to put them self into it - even if they are playing it as straight from the sheet music as they can. This is a most beautiful rendition of perhaps the most beautiful music ever written.
This has always been my favourite Chaconne. Recently quit watching another one and came back here to cleanse my ears.
Totally agree with Roberto Alexandre - it's unbelievably perfect, this performance! You wonder how could it be bettered ... not that we should ever think like that about musical performance but this completely gasping
This performance makes it feel like as if the Chaconne was always meant to be played on the guitar.
That addition of the bass strings certainly makes it entirely at home on the guitar. The timbre, not as high and bright as the violin makes it as you say "always meant to be played on the guitar". I agree with you totally.
In some sense this makes sense, the guitar has the harmonic structure similarly capable to the keyboard, blocking chords, 3rds and tenths achievable easily across a preformance and it has expression qualities although different to the violin similarly en mas.
おとう お父様と お父様と一緒に 五島に来てください和仁さんと尚子さんがまだ結婚なさらないときに呼んだ松島嘉助です。よろしくお願いいたします。
Any movements that's not Andante or Adagio in Bach's violin sonatas&partitas generally sounds better on guitar. Especially the fugues. Guitar just makes those polyphonic passages sounds so much more natural
For sure, Bach definitely pushed the violin to its polyphonic limits in the Chaconne, guitar doesn't have to awkwardly roll 3 and 4 note chords in this like violin does
The tone she gets with her right hand technique is amazing.
素晴らしい音楽です。 きちんとコントロールされた運指とタッチが山下和仁さんをほうふつさせますね。 お父さんより心持ち遅めのテンポですが、心に染み入るバッハを久しぶりに聞きました。ありがとうございます。
ギターという楽器と山下愛陽の心と肉体が、完全に一体となった完璧な音楽です。力みよいうものが全くありません。こんなに素晴らしいシャコンヌを今までに聴いたことがありません。3代続くギタリストのDNAがなせる業でしょう。今後、どこまで大きくなっていくのか楽しみです。
I am 71 years old and have played the guitar since age 13. I have heard the Chaconne played by many incredible guitarists as well as the best violinists, pianists and even accordionists. I have never heard a better performance - this playing brought tears to my eyes. As we say in Greek Άριστος, Άριστος!!!
時代は変わりました！
このような演奏に出会えた事に感謝です。山下さんからは、すでに自分の世界を確立し、さらなる高みを求める探求心が感じられます。
Violin Partita Nr.2 BWV1004 はギターにおいては何故か権威主義的で解釈が出尽くしたようで、聞くのも演奏するのも苦痛な曲でしたが、この演奏で考えを新たにした事に感謝です。
Oh my god, this is so fantastic! She gets part of the instrument. Eyes shut, her cheek glued to the corpus, feeling the dialog between her and the instrument. She is not playing to impress any audience. It's an intimate dialog between her and the Chaconne that is so immaculate and marvelous that no words can do it justice. She is in her own world. This reminds me so much of Glenn Gould, when he was playing the "Kunst der Fuge". Anybody that masters the Chaconne is to be admired, but to do it like she does, leaves us in awe.
ヴァイオリン ピアノ ギターと色々な人のシャコンヌを聞いてきたけどこれ以上の演奏は聞いたことが無い気がします。技術をひけらかす様なところは微塵もなくバッハの精神世界に入り込んだかの様な静謐かつ喜びに満ちた名演です。ありがとうございます。
お父さんそっくりな弾き方するなあ😮
たぐい稀な技術に裏打ちされながらその技術的野心が決して表に出ることなく、演奏家のすべての意思がシャコンヌという曲の秘密を引き出すことに献身している。ギターという楽器で演奏し得るこの曲の最高の演奏の一つでしょう。山下 一仁、福田進一・・・日本人演奏家によるこの曲の名演は幾つかありましたが、それらを含めても最高の演奏だろうと思います。
"Bach wrote it in memory of his first wife, after he returned from a trip to discover that she had died." It represents the beauty and yet the seriousness of life
wonderful comment
That is folklore and not a fact at all. No one really knows for sure even when this piece were written, it could be all from 1717 to 1720 and his first wife died in 1720, actually just by that fact suggesting, that it might be a myth entirely pushed by one so-called expert, professor Helga Thoene.
No. Not true
技術を超越し、音楽と一体になっておらるように感じます。
the fact those artists have 3.000 subscribers and pop or rap artists have multiple millions is beyond me
The reprobate and corporate propaganda machine, which normal people calls mainstream media, push those crap artists and not real musicians, like this. I honestly think, that it is detrimental to human mental health and also moral integrity for sure to listen to that shit in rotation on essentially all radio programs nowadays. It is the spirit of rebellion pushed, and the initial rebel were the serpent in the garden of Eden: It were the devil!
Да, тяжело осознавать это, скорее всего это из за того что общество деградирует либо большая часть не понимает как это ценно и круто
Because MPAI. Sorry, but it's true.
Generation Z is the most deprived of art because of the attention-span killing tik tok zeitgeist
@@thadtuiol1717what is that?
私の知る中で最高級だと感じました。というか自分にとてもフィットします。ご活躍をお祈り申し上げます。
stunning performance. it feels as though I've just come out of a coma
かつて、世界の名手であるジョン ウィリアムスが、上野音楽ホールで興にのって目をつぶって演奏仕出してまもなくミスり、あわてて弦を見ながらの演奏に戻した事を思い出しました。彼女は全く弦を見ず、目をつぶって難曲のほぼ全てを演奏している。本当にすごい。世界の中で活躍をしている日本の宝です。
No question that she is phenomenal, but you’re comparing a UA-cam video to a live performance. She could have recorded this a hundred times and kept the best one.
私は、バッハのシャコンヌが大好きで昔からシェリングとかいろいろな方の演奏をよく聴いていました。
ギターの演奏も大好きでよく聴いていますが、愛陽さん演奏は、とても素晴らしいです！！
今まで聞いた中でも最高です！！心がとても落ち着いて和みます。
ループ再生でずーと何度も何度も聴いています。いい演奏を聴かせて下さってありがとうございます。
お兄様との二重奏も楽しんで聴かせてもらっています。これからもご活躍を楽しみにしております。
This interpretation made me cry. Its perfect. Amazing, just amazing.
こんなに綺麗なシャコンヌ聴いたの初めてです。
トミーエマヌエル

On peut écouter 10 fois ou 50 fois c est extraordinaire ❤❤❤
The Chaconne is the story of humankind moving through suffering and eventually through to redemption and peace. You capture this beautifully, tears are rolling down my face.
There was one more performance of Chaconne, my favorite song.
Hilary Hahn, Paul Galbraith, Andres Segovia...and Kanahi Yamashita. Her performance is like listening to Chaconne standards played on guitar. The level of concentration he maintains until the end of the song is amazing.
最近アルアイレで弾いてしまうのが流行りかと思っていましたが、アポヤンドでこんなスピードで弾けるのかと感心するばかりです。素晴らしい演奏を聞けてとても嬉しいです。
Bach would have loved this interpretation - and so do I. In fact I have never heard any better. So loving and heart moving and yet not romantic and never stressing any notes, any effects - but letting the music speak directly to the 💗
The Bach’s chaconne is one of the best piece of secular music ever. In my opinion, it can , alone, represent the greatness of the Bach’s geniality.
Im totally agree, chaconne is a masterpiece
yeah
ДА ЭТО ДЕЙСТВИТЕЛЬНО СПРАВЕДЛИВО !!
😎✌️🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇸
It represents us... humanity....and a great reminder that we are all wonderful human beings deserving of love and peace ❤️
No argument from me.
I grew up with Bach and he decided what I should do for a living - play the church organ
C'est absolument superbe à tout point de vue : couleur, profondeur, compréhension de l'oeuvre, interprétation et rendu, vibration et unité de la pensée, de l'âme devrait-on dire, et de l'instrument. Jamais le bois n'a aussi bien chanté, pleuré et transcendé les émotions humaines. Merci Bach, Merci Kanashi Yamashita, une très grande guitariste.
お名前を存じ上げなかったのですが、音を聞いたらすぐ、これは違う！、普通のギタリストではないと思いました。アポヤンドをこれほど上手く使える若い方を見たことがありません。やはりお父様から譲り受けた物でしょうか。とても素晴らしい演奏でした。
Flawless technique, amazingly clean & consistent tone and control of dynamics. When they say having children is the only form of immortality they were right: especially when one's offspring continues in the same great tradition as the parent. Just as Bach sprang from and later produced great musicians, so this musician has come from a great talent. I hope she continues that tradition if she has children of her own!
amazing first i see someone contorting themselves with extreme sensitivity and it does not feel fake, highly intuitive and beautiful, one of the best interpretation i have heard thus far
Entendre Bach a la guitare c'est toujours un immense bonheur, et surtout magnifiquement bien jouer
I am speechless...This amongst the best interpretations of a classical piece of music ever, regardless of instrument and artist.
父上が30年前にお茶の水で2日連続のコンサートをされたのを思い出しました。是非あの時の感動を再び私たちに届けてください！
La meilleure interprétation que j’aie en entendue jusqu’à présent. Fabuleux.
Incredible. It feels like the first time I have truly heard this piece. The voicing was amazing and her right hand technique was inspiring. Bravo
Wow... just wow! So incredibly musical and not mechanical! Bravo... a masterpiece of a performance! ❤
忙しいギター編シャコンヌでこれだけ歌える演奏家は稀。気持ちを表現するための技術、本当にすばらしいです。
I am sure this is the best Bach´s Chaccone in the guitar I´ve ever heard. Everything very clean and balanced, truly impressive,
Her playing transports me into another world
Fine playing, absolutely. A lovely sublime touch yet there's power there that shows itself when warranted. A real talent. Just beautiful playing, one of the most beautiful renditions of the Chaconne that I've heard in many years. This young lady will go far, just as she should. There's nothing there but her and the guitar. One can see that she is totally at one with the guitar and entirely engrossed in the music. There's nothing else there but the player, the instrument and the music. What more can an audience ask for?
とても綺麗です！
一歳になる娘が拍手しています✨ベルリンで会いました彩より
Dies ist die musikalischste Interpretation dieses wunderbaren Stückes, die ich je gehört habe.
この感動を何と表現したらいいのでしょうか。この曲のエッセンスが、（演奏者を介することなく）そのまま波動となって聴き手に伝わってくる。これは歴史に残るほどの名演といえると思います。
I only envy her completely relaxed right hand fingers with perfect controls. Her passions pushing Bach’s beautiful compositions forward from behind instead of using Bach to push forward her own passions. I felt such a respect and love for Bach from this performance.
Sans aucune hésitation la meilleure interprétation dans un style classique ,avec un contrôle ,un équilibre,un sens du phrasé,un rythme, une musicalité, une virtuosité,un sens du tempo,une compréhension musicale,d'un bout à l'autre complètement exceptionnels et rarissimes que je n'ai jamais entendu auparavant! après 50 ans d'écoute !! la perfection me semble avoir été atteinte !!
My favorite piece of music, and I very rarely can stand to hear it on guitar (even though I play guitar) but this is a phenomenal performance. The best guitar rendition I’ve ever heard by far.
What an achievement!
Impressive. She literally merges with her instrument and the music. The result is outstanding artistery..
Qujel émouvant chef-d,oeuvre de Bach joué avec respect par cette guitariiste virtuose asiatique !
Bravo! Um grande encontro: A musicalidade e genialidade de J. S. Bach com a perícia e paciência orientais. 🇧🇷
Virtuosic playing no other way to describe. Breathtaking and beautiful performance
J'aime comment tu sembles danser avec ta guitare
Une version sublime de La plus belle piece pour instrument seul jamais ecrite. respect
Wow!!! What a wonderful performance! What a wonderful interpretation!
Chaconne de Bach interpreter pour une fois avec toute l’excellence, la sensibilité, la perfection et avec beaucoup d’âme. Jean Sébastien Bach aurait aimé cette performance 😊❤
Bach is not cold Baroque, Bach is the most tender soul and the greatest jazzer among composers. We feel the soul of Bach through Yamashita's fingers!
A soul stirring performance of a work that has been played by all the greats- Ms Yamashita joins all of them by this intense nuanced performance. One really feels blessed to have heard such heavenly music.
She is the only person I’ve seen play this masterpiece almost as flawless as Segovia and John Williams
ua-cam.com/video/quf_ukqCXN0/v-deo.htmlsi=F4flp5xGihKeoHFc
Her guitar is out of tune making it impossible to listen to
Besides the fact that back was not a romantic da hallo
"Almost as flawless?" What imperfection did you hear in her playing? This was a transcendent performance!
I think JW played it perfect with no flaws?
感動的な演奏です
深い解釈と正確な表現がとても美しいです
印象的な演奏に深く感謝します
Esa muchacha es maravillosa ejecutando su instrumento si tuviera más información de ella podría decir que es una de las mejores del mundo
Astounding. You have to be a decent guitarist to even try this piece, let alone play it so well. World class.
Beyond perfection! 👏👏👏
Première partie et fin superbe
20歳ぐらいの有名な若い女流ギタリストによる同曲を聴いてから山下愛陽さんの演奏を聴きました。圧倒的な風格がありますね。すばらしい。
Her control in the tone and play every string in a clearly mode is AMAZING. maybe is the best version technique that i heard in my life. Too much warmy sound and level of interpretation. Her nails are pulish in a magic way
This is good. Indeed. The best I found till now; serene.
This, for certain, is the best performance Chaconne for guitar that I have ever heard (the best to my taste.. you can all think whatever you like)
I love how she plays this exquisite piece of music not only with her fingers - she plays it with her hart and soul . So beautiful tears makes my face wet . . . ❤️❤️❤️
Just blown away by the beauty of this performance
最高に素晴らしい演奏でした。音がきれいで、でも控えめで、おそらくキターの演奏としては今まで聞いた多くの演奏の中でも、飛びぬけて1番に上げたいです。1音1音に抑制された気持ちがあふれていました。
The "apoyando" is insane
So perfect in many ways
One of the best versions I've heard. Really emotional that's what this piece is about.
Kanahi es maravillosa técnicamente se aprende mucho escuchandola
What a wonderful guitarrist. Just Amazing
Fantastico! For a second there I had to look to make sure she wasn’t playing a piano. She played this as if it was a piano arrangement.
Very well played. I absolutely love her style of playing. She is real pro.
Marvellous. Many thanks.
It's like a totally different world in Yamashita' guitar music, amazing !
Worthy of a Yamashita.
Une PERFECTION CETTE FEMME !!!
L'ESPRIT DE J.S BACH Y EST PARFAITEMENT EXACT !!!!!
The deepest levels of artistry.
Sublime y hermosa tu interpretación toco de una manera extraordinaria mi corazón, tenia como un bloqueo creativo, pero todas las ideas surgieron al escucharte tocar. Saludos desde Chile
Bravo!!! One of the most impressive Chaconne online. The sculpting of contrapuntal lines and chords is virtuostic. A very well presented masterpiece.
You have captured the spirit of the piece. I enjoy trying to play the full Bach Violin partita no. 2 in d minor on classical guitar. I especially enjoy the Allemond. I finish up by playing "Anyone who knows love would understand" by Irma Thomas, because the last chord of one leads to the first chord of the other. Fun stuff. Thank you for sharing this with the world... you rock. Inspiring.
It feels like she has beautifully reinvented the piece.
Pure and beautiful. She is utterly absorbed...Ilan Gronich
Holy crap!! What an awesome performance is this!!! 🤩🤩😃🎶🎶 I would love to see a lot more Bach performances from you!!
I like this performance of the Chaconne quite a lot! Definitely short list!
That addition of the bass strings certainly makes it entirely at home on the guitar. The timbre, not as high and bright as the violin makes it as you say "always meant to be played on the guitar.
absolutely sublime.......
점심시간마다 듣지만 정말 처음부터 끝까지 감정선이 너무 좋다고 느낍니다.
The piece is correctly described as "from the violin partita". But in the way she's playing it there is an impression, as if it was actually being played on a violin. Stunning technic and perfect clarity of these super-fast played horribly difficult 32-notes’ scales. Really nice. Only the slower parts could be less “romantic” and more lyric. But that’s that matter of personal taste. Anyway, bravo!
To appreciate your rendition should take pages . . . I had never before heard this violin sonata played on the guitar as if the sound came from an unenclosed pipe organ. Your linking of overtones so that a sonority builds throughout the work may be beyond my understanding but not my appreciation. I almost asked foolish questions, such as, "What strings do you use, and who made your guitar?" But then, it occurred to me that your yielding your right hand to complete relaxation must be how you can engage the strings with the flesh of thumb and fingers so that the string's spin not only produces the growl of an organ but preternaturally releases the overtones. That, and your freedom and passion born of your having made the guitar so comfortably a part of you that you forget your hands and body, to lose yourself in the music, making your Chaconne a stand-alone masterwork. Thank you. (BTW, your finale is, in my opinion, far and away, the best of all masters who have played this; the last chord is, indeed, proof of the end of a monumental spiritual journey.)
Award winning performance.
Finally! This is inspiring!
This perf. right up there with the best of them. Fantastic piece and it has such emotional depth and range in the right hands. Stunning. Arigato gozaimasu.
I listened to Kanahi playing Bach's Chaconne after listening to a very promising, well-known young female guitarist from Japan. I was overwhelmed by Kanahi's stately performance.
Absolutely superb, and a wonderful sound from the guitar.
magnificent! thank you Yamashita-san.
My God, Bach was on fire with this one!
