    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

    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.

      @@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".

    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.

    Edson is just as amazingly, a generous man.
    He offers music for free, a library of perfectly transcribed guitar pieces from the repertoire.
    His transcriptions are of the highest quality, I agree with 99% of his LH fingerings. Bless you.
    Edson is a modern day Segovia, in that he promotes classical guitar and accessibility to it, through his love for the instrument.

    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!

    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.

    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!

Lol And these people that thumbed down this video either it was too hard for them to play or it’s not their type of music, they just done realize that if it wasn’t for classical music they wouldn’t have their music they like today. Have to respect the classics! This is such an amazing and awesome performance with incredible talent.
