Maestro, I want to thank you for this performance. I have studied classical guitar for 55 years (I'm now an old retired psychology professor of 67) and I have heard many performances of this piece on guitar. Yours is simply the best. It is disciplined and clear though passionate, authoritative but not ponderous, and muscular but also deeply feeling. Watching you play this and also your rendition of Bachs' Prelude to his 3rd Cello Suite teaches me something new each time about playing Bach. I am very grateful for you. I think many in the classical guitar world must feel the same way as I do. Respectfully, Cliff
Wonderful performance indeed. Respect for Maestro. There is another one, young man using acustic guitar and... You need to listen by yourselves. ua-cam.com/video/nUtTfjq7CyU/v-deo.html
Dear Nelson, speaking only french spanish and English but not Portuguese unfortunately despite my father Ernesto Augusto LOPES, was native from Portugal, living many years in Brazil.. maybe are we relatives? Anyway, congratulations for this so great performance ! Proud having the same family name ! I’m a songwriter, musician but not good guitarist.. and fine artist painter. Keep safe always my dear Edson!
Some pieces were NEVER meant to be played on a guitar. After hearing this played many times on some of the greatest organs in the World, as soon as I saw this headline, I said to myself Wait? Surely not! But, after watching Maestro Lopes for a mesmerizing 9 minutes, I have an even greater appreciation for how amazing some people are and that the impossible can be made possible if we chose it. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
I love to see how this man knows his instrument. No annoying noises from the strings when the fingers glide over them. My deepest respect for his skill and music. Bravo.
Для этого исполнителя не существует никаких рамок и ограничений. Полное великолепие. Глубина исполнения поражает. Это почти орган в миниатюре. Полный респект мастеру.
а я не соглашусь. исполнение великолепное - да. но гитара это никак не орган, как ни старайся. как гитарист вам говорю, что орган куда более величественный и гармоничный инструмент именно для этого произведения. даже симфонический оркестр не дает той мощи, какую дает орган
As a child I turned pages while my dad played this on the pipe organ in church. I naturally absorbed all the notes of the entire composition as there were innumerable practice sessions. I did work out some parts on the guitar as a challenge and achieved success for my own satisfaction. Watching Edson play the entire piece was like realizing my own dream. Thank you for your beautiful artistry.
Una de las más grandiosas creaciones de la música y del arte en general. Extremadamente difícil de ejecutar en su instrumento original. Tocarla en la guitarra es casi un milagro. Mi más profundo respeto, Maestro
Dear Edson, I am blown away! This is an amazing transcription and absolutely brilliant played! Wow! You have my fullest respect and more. Thank you for your contribution to the guitar community. I hope you are safe and healthy. Per-Olov Kindgren
So great to see you here as well. My son has been playing transcriptions from both of you since a little boy (all started with your Canon in D all those years ago!). Thank you both. Keep safe and healthy. Best wishes.
Dear Per-Olov funny I found Edson Lopes' interpretation of Bach's Toccata and Fugue via UA-cam's proposals after watching your interpretation of Bach's "Air" and then finding you comment the same. Though I fancy both of you had undergone some genetic experiments on your fingers, it's still mindblowing and breathtaking what you are doing with them.
@@dragonenglish1014 There is a slight mistake in the comment (probably just a typo), but save for this, the grammar is correct. If he had written, "This is an amazing transcription and absolutely brilliantLY played!", it would have been just fine. What you suggest as a correction actually changes the meaning of the sentence.
@@raphaelklaussen1951 I don't think the omission of LY was a typo, I clearly think that this commenter has a lacking in English grammar. So, you think that the grammar is correct "save" for that error. Well, I could argue that because this musical piece is related to the present and is repeatable, present perfect should have been used, but with the use of two adverbs, it sounds a little awkward. I would have used the correct tense and omitted "absolutely".
I have no business commenting on this, but: I lost my wife a few months ago. Having lost everything, there's nothing holding me back from whatever I want to do. I choose to inject as much love into the universe as possible. I don't know your situation, but right now, I genuinely wish you the best. Sincerely. All my best, all the time.
Необыкновенно красивое звучание гитары! Мастерское исполнение гитариста прозвучало так, словно погружаешься в ту эпоху, в которой жил Бах. Гитарист превосходный!!! Браво! Респект! 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
Doesn't this 300 years old music sound incredibly _modern_ when we listen to it played like this? Maybe because it's timeless. Beautiful, Sr. Edson Lopes. Chapeau!
@Max Campanozzi Se eu ficasse respondendo, teria que responder a TODOS e isso não iria permitir que eu tivesse tempo para preparar as partituras, estudar (e muito) e gravar esses videos. Gostaria de responder porque vejo o carinho que as pessoas tem, mas não quero responder a uns e deixar de responder a outros, e a todos fica impossível. Me desculpa! Espero que compreenda.
Estava comparando as performances dessa peça em diferentes instrumentos. Esta, incrivelmente, me soou a melhor de todas. Quando tocada nos grandes Órgãos, nas grandes catedrais, é belíssima, porém distante -- medonha por vezes. Quando tocada nos Pianos, tenho a impressão de que a frieza das teclas eclipsa a tempestade de sentimentos desperta em nós pelos acordes tão bem encaixados de Bach -- me soa mecânica demais, sem vida. No entanto, quando tocada no violão, somos tomados por um calor confortável, um sentimento de alegria, de admiração: de encanto! É incrível como um instrumento que cabe no nosso colo é capaz de ser tão expressivo. Genial interpretação e genial adaptação para violão! Um orgulho para o nosso país e para nossa herança cultural é nosso Mestre Edson Lopes!
@Disorder, pode ser que minha visão seja um pouco enviesada, mas tenho a impressão de que todas as performances do Edson Lopes são as melhores quando comparadas com as demais, quando existem. Melhor Toccata, melhor Variações em um tema de Mozart por Fernando Sor, melhor Chaconne, etc, etc, etc. Inclusive, gostaria muitíssimo de ouvir algum dia como seria Rondo Op. 2 No. 3 do Dionisio Aguado tocado por ele. Eu poderia morrer em paz no mesmo dia caso acontecesse, hahaha
A guitar can produce this kind of great sound. I have no words to express. Very nice piece of music and you performed it so well, I saw heavenly musicality. Great things happens in this world. Respect you Sir.
Yes, he is, no doubt. But there is at least one more man playing one guitar at the perfect level. Listen to him: Marcin Patrzałek. ua-cam.com/video/nUtTfjq7CyU/v-deo.html
интересно, а как ее еще можно освоить к к его возрасту? Куда удивительнее смотреть на людей, которые всю жизнь что-то осваивают и к пенсии освоить не успевают!!! Вот уж точно уникумы.
La humildad de la guitarra frente al poderosísimo órgano casi desaparece cuando los dedos y el corazón de este hombre se reflejan en el mástil recorrido con suavidad y claridad, pero con determinación, diciendo que Bach es un gigante de la música. La he escuchado doscientas mil veces y cada vez encuentro en usted la paz y el descanso que necesito. Muchas gracias señor Edson Lopes.
Senhor Lopes -- My father was a Bach scholar and musician. One of his favorite pieces was the Toccata and Fugue BWV 565. He passed away almost exactly 25 years ago. He would have loved your masterfully artistic performance of this wonderful piece of music. I definitely do.
This is a lesson in excellence. I have been playing the guitar for over 25 years and could never ever dream of being this brilliant. Thankyou maestro . Bravo.
The wavy movement of the thumb, the way he changes bar chords, the sheer number of notes, every single one written by Bach, utterly perfect sound. Completely mesmerizing.
Perfect technique, amazingly beautiful sounds, this Bach piece is extremely hard to play on Guitar and yet maestro Edson Lopes played it flawlessly ….. thank you maestro
Edson, a standing ovation from me. This is great on many levels, from your playing, to the transcription, to recording itself. Thanks so much for laboring over this piece and bringing it to us!
@@GeatMaximus Даже на нейлоновых струнах своеобразный свист есть при перестановки пальцев. Сам играю на классической гитаре и слышал многих исполнителей.
Mr. Lopes, I'm glad your post came into my thread. Your personal sound touched my eyes, and then my ears, and my spirit. You have awakened something in me with your special attention. Thank you❤️🔥🙏❤️🔥
Congratulations, Maestro Edson Lopes, for this is "impossible" transcription, adaptation and performance of Bach's Toccata and Fugue BWV 565, maybe one of the most famous Organ pieces of all times. I studied Classical Guitar and Organ and never imagined I would hear it played on a Classical Guitar. I was delighted hearing all the counterpointing voices in the Fuge, strummings arpeggios, others, for Organ's long chords; transposing notes an octave lower/higher when they would be out of range; choosing Am as the key, and, of course your flawless, powerful performance. Thank you!
Considering the differences between a guitar and a cathedral pipe organ, this is a truly wonderful interpretation of a much-loved piece. Please accept my blown-away-ness.
Absolutely incredible. I can hardly believe this is possible on guitar. This was the first song I learned on piano and 30 years later I am learning classical guitar.
It's amazing when a guitar arrangement sounds like it was originally written for the guitar as opposed to just a transcription. This arrangement and performance has accomplished this admirably!
Maestro Lopes, I can't find the appropriate words to describe the greatness of your performance. To be able to play this technically challenging piece and yet preserve its polyphonic character is something that probably very few people would ever dream to achieve - yet you make it look as if it were as easy as anything you'd play in your first year of lessons. Thank you so much for sharing it!
Highest respects to Maestro Edson Lopez. Let's not forget however that this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music created by humans. Mr. Lopez himself confirms that every second of his magnificent performance
Edson, vous êtes un génie. non seulement d'être un virtuose, vos transcriptions sont d'une justesse, respectant l'oeuvre originale, tout en restant guitaristique. dans la toccata, on a l'impression d'entendre chaque tuyaux d'orgue, sous chaques cordes, mues par vos doigts magiques ! bravo !!!!
Обратите внимание, маэстро как раз написанное для органа (и других инструментов) перекладывает на гитару. Да делает это так виртуозно, что будто для гитары изначально и предполагалрсь Бахом. Но игра маэстро (!)... это отдельная песня!
J.S. would kiss him on the lips if he saw this. It's insane and I'll never tire of hearing him play this song, which was never meant for guitar, but sounds so right by one individual. Thank you for the millions of practice hours put in to develop such perfect techniques....
Tocar la Toccata de Bach a guitarra es de genio. No encuentro palabras para felicitarlo en alto grado. Dios le bendiga siempre por ese aporte que le hace a la humanidad.
I would have loved to see you during Bach's time holding up a sign which read, "I will change any guitar into an organ." Then having Bach walk up and hand you a guitar. And then you play this piece. I bet he would have been speechless.
Absolument remarquable !! Je n'imaginais pas que l'on puisse restituer ce chef-d'œuvre du répertoire pour orgue à la guitare d'une façon aussi convaincante. Un grand bravo !!!
Although your last video of this piece has received more than one million views, I'm so pleased that you have re-recorded this piece at higher resolution videography and audio sound which your astonishing guitar playing truly deserves. Fabulous.
....охренеть!!! Я всё думал хватит ли грифа, чтобы сыграть произведение целиком! Ре минор диез музыка на все времена, но это исполнение какой-то нежнейшей и безграничной красоты и мягкой силы!!! Каждый звук перекатывался в голове! и мысли и душа упорхнули в небесную высь!!!
What a class act performance from this beautiful soul of a guitarist. The voice separation phenomenal, tone phenomenal, technique, boundlessly perfect, and most importantly, the level of artistry, genius.
This rendition on guitar is mind-boggling. The density on an organ or on a classical accordion, make it impossible to actually track the lines of the interlocking melodies. This rendition and the one with the five trumpet players are so much more accessible to messed up Hearing and complicated brains! Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤💙💛💚
@@hindenburg1596 @HYL71 referenced your *playlist*??? In addition to the Moran Wasser interp? Is that something ppl share? I would love that, if it's an option!
Until I heard this I would not thought it possible to create the same satisfying effect of this massively theatrical musical work on the guitar. Thank you !
This is surely the finest classical guitar playing you will ever hear. The arrangement of Bach's famous toccata and fugue is astonishing, and the performance is fantastic.
Segovia started this way from Chaconne, now this is a beautiful continuation. This is very important for building the guitar's repertoire. Thank you very much! The performance is perfect!
This is so beatifil, so amazing. Perhaps one of the most challenging transcription of a any classical work for the guitar. And the interpretation is masterful. Thanks a lot for share this wondelful moment.
Edson Lopes your Toccata and Fugue is perfection, you have a brilliant God given talent without emotional passion you can't succeed, you have to be one of the greatest classical guitarists around, in my opinion always a listening pleasure, thanks for putting these podcasts on You-Tube for us lesser mortals to enjoy.
ERRATA: Measure 141, 3th chord: B, F, G#, D

To be able to play this technically challenging piece and yet preserve its polyphonic character is something that probably very few people would ever dream to achieve - yet you make it look as if it were as easy as anything you'd play in your first year of lessons. Thank you so much for sharing it!
Highest respects to Maestro Edson Lopez. Let's not forget however that this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music created by humans. Mr. Lopez himself confirms that every second of his magnificent performance
Edson, vous êtes un génie. non seulement d'être un virtuose, vos transcriptions sont d'une justesse, respectant l'oeuvre originale, tout en restant guitaristique. dans la toccata, on a l'impression d'entendre chaque tuyaux d'orgue, sous chaques cordes, mues par vos doigts magiques ! bravo !!!!
C'est extraordinaire de ’jouer ce morceau à la guitare. Vraiment bravo
It sounds so incredibly crisp when played on a guitar... I just love this masterpiece regardless of the instrument it is played on
Слушаю, и как будто для гитары и написано! Браво!!
Обратите внимание, маэстро как раз написанное для органа (и других инструментов) перекладывает на гитару. Да делает это так виртуозно, что будто для гитары изначально и предполагалрсь Бахом. Но игра маэстро (!)... это отдельная песня!
Excellent performance. Even the simple unfolding of harmony at 0:25 to 0:35 is special here because of Lopes' unique artistic spirit.
Magnifico. Nunca creí que Bach pudiera oírse así en guitarra.
J.S. would kiss him on the lips if he saw this. It's insane and I'll never tire of hearing him play this song, which was never meant for guitar, but sounds so right by one individual.
Thank you for the millions of practice hours put in to develop such perfect techniques....
Genius!!!! Bravissimo!!!! So artistic!!! I loved to hear it. Doing that with 6 strings is incredible!!!
Tocar la Toccata de Bach a guitarra es de genio. No encuentro palabras para felicitarlo en alto grado. Dios le bendiga siempre por ese aporte que le hace a la humanidad.
I would have loved to see you during Bach's time holding up a sign which read, "I will change any guitar into an organ." Then having Bach walk up and hand you a guitar. And then you play this piece. I bet he would have been speechless.
Absolument remarquable !! Je n'imaginais pas que l'on puisse restituer ce chef-d'œuvre du répertoire pour orgue à la guitare d'une façon aussi convaincante. Un grand bravo !!!
Oui absolument fascinant de doigté, de technique et pour les deux mains. Grand respect !
Et avec autant de sensibilité 😍
This is a demonstration of ekstraordinaire skill and of Bachs superiority as a composer!
he wrote this when he was 18 ffs
@@licencetoswill young rebel, that is why it sounds as heavy metal
Сколько труда вложено в этот ролик смогут оценить только гитаристы. Периодически переслушиваю. Брависсимо!
Certamente Bach está feliz e satisfeito com está interpretação.
Bach está muerto wey no mames, respeta
This is why I love the Guitar so much. Even tho I cannot play this!

@@geovannyxaviercasimiromang944 jajajaja buena esa
Although your last video of this piece has received more than one million views, I'm so pleased that you have re-recorded this piece at higher resolution videography and audio sound which your astonishing guitar playing truly deserves. Fabulous.
Totally amazing - a consummate virtuoso, I feel it was a absolute privilege to listen to you. Thank you so much Sir.
The absolute superlatives of sperperlatives, bringing tears to the eyes to this 75 year old guitar playing man. Thank you so much 🇬🇧
Да...восторг и восхищение!!!! Исполнитель от бога!!! Душа улетела в необьятные просторы ...
Вот это мужик
Превосходно!!!
Восхищаюсь!!!
Насколько точно и в то же время мелодично!
Спасибо Вам!!!
How many years of practice did it take to get just this ONE piece this absolutely flawless? I'm in awe and speechless.
Maybe just a few lifes.
He’s still practicing.
Corbin Musso this is the most correct answer the OP will ever find.
@@Tentin.Quarantino word
Excellent musicianship, and memory.
Absolutely perfect! ❤ It is hard to imagine what amount of practise this level of performance requires. Thank you!
A magnificent performance, perfect in every way. You set the bar Sir.
....охренеть!!! Я всё думал хватит ли грифа, чтобы сыграть произведение целиком! Ре минор диез музыка на все времена, но это исполнение какой-то нежнейшей и безграничной красоты и мягкой силы!!! Каждый звук перекатывался в голове! и мысли и душа упорхнули в небесную высь!!!
Не знаю хватит ли грифа в ре миноре, а только он в ля миноре играет почему-то. Но всё равно эмэйзинг, конечно же.
What a class act performance from this beautiful soul of a guitarist. The voice separation phenomenal, tone phenomenal, technique, boundlessly perfect, and most importantly, the level of artistry, genius.
This rendition on guitar is mind-boggling. The density on an organ or on a classical accordion, make it impossible to actually track the lines of the interlocking melodies. This rendition and the one with the five trumpet players are so much more accessible to messed up Hearing and complicated brains!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
❤💙💛💚
Moran Wasser's interpretation is also just incredible
@@JYH777.8 You are extremely welcome, some of the pieces in P are from my childhood, it's great to listen to it
@@JYH777.8 And very thanks, I will listen to him, it's something new
@@hindenburg1596 @HYL71 referenced your *playlist*???
In addition to the Moran Wasser interp?
Is that something ppl share?
I would love that, if it's an option!
Was ein toller Künstler, ich bin absolut beeindruckt von dieser Leistung...
Until I heard this I would not thought it possible to create the same satisfying effect of this massively theatrical musical work on the guitar. Thank you !
I’ve long thought of that as Bach’s masterpiece. I never thought a guitar performance of it could be so hypnotic. Thank you.
Красиво,музыка завораживает.Бесподобно исполнили,доставили истинное наслаждение от прослушивания.Спасибо и браво!
Never heard a transcription of this for guitar--and had I even thought of it, I would never have believed it could work so well--congrats!
BRASILEIRO?!?!?!?!! TÁ DE SACANAGEM?! Isso é simplesmente MARAVILHOSO! Épico, perfeito,emocionante... estou com os olhos cheios d'água
Além de uma bela execução, liberar a transcrição de graça nos dias de hoje é simplesmente notável!
Que homem senhores!
Bach would weep with joy at such a masterful performance...bravo my friend and brother👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is surely the finest classical guitar playing
you will ever hear. The arrangement of Bach's famous toccata and fugue is astonishing, and the performance is fantastic.
Segovia started this way from Chaconne, now this is a beautiful continuation. This is very important for building the guitar's repertoire. Thank you very much! The performance is perfect!
This is so beatifil, so amazing. Perhaps one of the most challenging transcription of a any classical work for the guitar. And the interpretation is masterful. Thanks a lot for share this wondelful moment.
Edson Lopes your Toccata and Fugue is perfection, you have a brilliant God given talent without emotional passion you can't succeed, you have to be one of the greatest classical guitarists around, in my opinion always a listening pleasure, thanks for putting these podcasts on You-Tube for us lesser mortals to enjoy.
