Besides the technical skills, this maestro brings the sensitivity beyond words in every piece he performs, it is a truly delicacy for the soul. Thank you.
You really are a big talent! Great performance! My soul wants to thank you! You make it better!
Sanel Redzic really does justice to the great music of Bach.
I fell in love with classical guitar while listening to Segovia as a little kid with my grandfather. This brings back the beautiful moments spent with him, just like it were yesterday. Thank you.
I must admit - the performance of this particular piece tops every other one I heard. And I heard many over the years. This is on par with masters like Julian Bream, but with a clear self-identity.
Oh. My. God. Just. Wow 😮
Muchas gracias por tu arte y recordarnos que éste mundo es maravilloso. Que viva Bach!
Your interpretations and performances of bach are by far my favourite.
Beautiful expression!!!
great sensitivity as usual, tenderness and incisiveness, in one word: poetry. Congratulations and hugs from Italy. All the best 🔥 Danilo
Ganz großartig . Ein tolles Weihnachtsgeschenk. Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu dieser Leistungen .
Mere words will never be able to describe this interpretation
As the old adage says: "Where words leave off, music begins." Sanel plays the sound and the silence, as well as everything in between.
kako je to lijepo
Uživao sam u svakom taktu, bravo Sanele! 👏❤️
Love it. That presto was so lively but could hear every note & i couldn’t sit still!
Loving it!
Thank you Sanel. I enjoyed it so much.
I am accustomed to the interpretations of the Bach sonatas on guitar by Nicholas Goluses and John Williams. I love it when I find another version that gives life to the work from a different perspective. Mr. Redzic's interpretations are more poetic and pensive, I'll have to "just listen" to this because seeing the player is also distracting from the music in a way (it brings focus to technique and performance). Congratulations Sanel, I'm a big fan, I've probably watched your Prelude, Fugue and Allegro BWV 998 like 100 times. Bravo!!
Outright elegant and simplistic.
The perfect performance.
God bless you are
Beautiful
Clean and clear performance as it should be. Thank you for this great performance.
Bravo Sanele, bolje ne može!
Excellent !!
ありがとうございます！
Excellent,merveilleux.
excellent - thank you
Very nice playing as usual from you. Something about that Spruce top Vowinkel sound is just stunning to me. This is nice too but I think the spruce has some clarity that's just perfect for these fugues. I'm coming off your Lute Suite No. 2 video where you played with that spruce top I'm talking about. Super clean but dark and warm tone but very clean and nicely balanced. This guitar is amazing too though...lol. Very nice, delicate and sensible playing from you. Thank you for sharing these very nice high quality videos with us.
This is beautiful! Amazing!!! This is my favorite Bach song! I was looking for it!
Wow! Awesome performance!
Wonderful! Bravissimo
Jako inspirativna interpretacija! Fantasticno, bravo!
Wonderful performance !
Excellent work and beautiful interpretation.
beautiful interpretation of JS BACH thank you very much
Wonderful! Greetings
Einfach genial gespielt!!!!
Если аудио не обрабатывалось, то это просто фантастическая техника. Я еще не слышал настолько чистой игры.
Ahh, such beauty! Maybe my favorite Bach on guitar and you have done it full justice.
Very nice, clean play !
Hermoso sonido digno de Bach!
A soul playing

Poesia para muito Além de palavras e notas. Gênios como Bach só podem ser totalmente compreendidos graças a EXCELENTES músicos como Sanel Redzic. Performance do mais alto nível, algo que apenas raríssimos artistas são tão abençoados e privilegiados em alcançar. Deus te abençoe com Muita música e saúde no seu caminho, irmão. Um Abraço do Brasil. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
John William’s recording (in the 1970s) of the Complete Lute Suites was decisive on subsequent interpretations of Bach on the guitar: Williams took a straightforward approach of crystal clear playing (as opposed to the more romantic approaches) wherein the voices of the music in both the treble and bass registers could be heard very distinctly. This idea of an absolutely clear and robust sound (I like to call it the “marble tone”) when playing Bach caught on and early recordings in the 80s, such as Vladmir Mikulka’s and Hubert Kappel’s stunning transcription of a Bach keyboard partita immediately raised the standard and set the stage for Manuel Barrueco’s recordings of Bach and David Russell (who would also enhance Baroque ornamentation with his crisp cross-string trills) and, of course, Goran Sollscher on the 11-string guitar (probably inspired by the sound possibilities Narciso Yepes brought with his 10-string instrument).
Today, one can find here on UA-cam many superb Bach interpreters on the guitar, among which I would list a few of my favorites: Moran Wasser, Paulo Martelli (11-string); Stephan Schmidt, Graham Antony Devine (10-string); Paul Galbraight (8-string Brahms guitar) as well many fine interpretations (too numerous to list) on the 6-string guitar such as Marcyn Dylla’s and David Russell’s latest recording of the BWV996. Furthermore, guitarists have also ventured into other areas of transcription of Bach including some very complex keyboard partitas that 20 or 30 years ago one would have thought impossible. And of course some curiosities (The organ Toccata and Fugue, or the Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue) as well that don’t also work as well musically (an exception I would make is for Antony Devine performance of the Chromatic F & F) despite the player having the chops to pull them off.
Among these superb interpreters (who all display a great affinity with and deep knowledge of Bach’s music), this “crème-de-la-créme”, Sanel Redžić merits a special place: his remarkable performance of the BWV1004 Chaconne at age 23 must surely go down as a landmark in classical guitar history, especially concerning Bach, but it already shows a mature and consummate artist.
One of the virtues of Mr. Redžić’s playing (not limited to just Bach), which he also shares with Marcyn Dylla, is his extremely subtle and expressive shaping (dynamics, coloring) of each musical phrase. Like a writer who works word-by-word, sentence-by-sentence (perhaps something akin to Flaubert’s idea of writing) to write “the perfect book”, these two artists work note-be-note, phrase-by-phrase and weave everything into a harmonious and organic narrative. They sculpt the music in the exciting way we remember the highly individual styles of Segovia and Bream: and their vast technique is always first and foremost serving the musical ideas and expressing the beauty therein.
Mr. Redžić has already posted a number of Suites here in these perfectly produced videos (the sound quality and plain visual style set a standard for performers wanting to divulge on UA-cam) and interprets Bach on the guitar on level, I dare say, with the best interpreters of any other instruments (this also should be the standard: musicianship first, guitar second).
What further superlatives can one add regarding this BWV1001 performance except that we are hearing it like we’ve never heard it before (just take the fuge, for example)? Now, Sanel can take even a simple Tarrega prelude and make it into something remarkable expressive, but when he applies the full range of both his artistry and musical intellect to a composer like Bach, well, that’s when’s the master’s masterpieces sound masterly.
Fans of Mr. Redžić’s superb Bach interpretation will find his talk (ua-cam.com/video/uTtFZng9w1s/v-deo.html) with guitarrist Johannes Möller very enlightening and articulate regarding his approach to Bach.
Mr. Redžić really is the ideal musician who blends the deep feeling of the heart with the intellectual rigor, knowledge and scholarship that are now behind the best Bach interpretations of our time.
Sehr schön Sanel! Viele Grüße und frohe Weihnachten aus Wien!
Sanel makes this look easy. News flash, it is not.
It's easy if you know how. But seriously, I am sure he spent many months working out all the technical difficulties so that he can concentrate on the musical ideas. Not to mention many years of developing his wonderful technique. And how about that venue?!?
Sanel, are you using D'Addario EXP strings here? Have you used Savarez New Cristal Corum High Tensions? I love that set!
@SanelRedzic is there a way to buy your Bach (and other) recordings in CD or MP3 format? Thanks!
