C'est hyper intéressant de voir tout ce travail d'enregistrement et en + cerise sur le gâteau, votre interprétation du prélude bwv 998 est d'une beauté à tirer les larmes du corps! Un moment d'intense émotion!!! Merci infiniment Ricardo Gallen.
this documentary style recording is just brilliant. It at least remind everyone before making any comments towards whatever a music piece, think it over. I am so moved see this how musician is exploring to get music sound better.
En todo el video, pero sobretodo en los minutos que van del 10 al final, transfiguración: el Genio se hace Hombre de carne, hueso y cuerdas. El Maestro se convierte en humilde servidor de Bach y su obra pura. Preludio BWV 998. Sencillamente SUBLIME. Gracias, Ricardo.
Ricardo! Deberían existir vídeos así de toda tu obra interpretativa, dónde se pueda apreciar de ésta forma tu arte. Motivar a los productores de hacerlos, serían una joya, una joya que creo muchos pagaríamos por tener en nuestra colección.
Dunno if you guys cares but if you're bored like me atm then you can stream all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my gf recently :)
I do not like Norbrook Krafts recordings for the most part. That's a comment on the engineering and production, not on the guitarist. Most of Krafts recordings sound distant and tinny.
so tired of people who set up professional video and a high end player who *can't get microphone placement and levels set up properly* FFS guys! I should be sitting here enjoying the experience, not straining my ears and pushing my volume so loud that when outlook tells me I have an email, people 3 blocks away know about it. There's just no excuse at this level of production for these kinds of audio problems.
Mathijs Ignoul I included it because I can't hear enough to know whether the mics are sensitive enough for the levels coming out of this guitar to allow for increasing the volume without noise.
Mathijs Ignoul Yeah, the two stand mics are ok and can be used effectively at those distances - *for the guitar*. And *if* the volume is brought to an appropriate level for the guitar. Compared to other vids that had been on the playlist, it basically sounded like silence with a guy occasionally saying something with a bunch of echo. But the guy talking wasn't talking into a mic, just being picked up incidentally with tons of natural reverb, so it was almost entirely unintelligible. It just sounded like whoever mixed it couldn't give a crap about what was being played, but at the same time wasn't interested in anything that was being said, even though the voice is significantly louder. If they wanted to listen to what the guy was saying, put a mic on the guy talking. How much does it add to the budget to get a couple of Audio Technica lav mics and H1 recorders and stick them on the two people talking in the video so you have a direct source to lay over the primary track? And if you want to hear the guy playing, in between the talking, boost the levels so it's at least somewhat on par with the main source. They actually did that, at 4:40ish, but in a 15 minute clip, for them to get it right once at nearly 5 minutes in, then go back to bad habits is very poor. Again, it makes sense at 7:50ish, but it's just sloppy film making It demonstrates that there wasn't very much thought put into what they were doing. It's beautifully filmed with the camera work and it's a lovely parlour guitar, but shouldn't the primary focus of this be in the audio work? Also, to my ear, that guitar isn't quite loud enough for that distance, allowing the room to be a bit too strong. I'd probably try to get them in about 15-30cm closer. Still lots of flavor from the room, but the instrument wouldn't feel so weak. But that's just my preference.
Agreed with having a few mics for the guys talking. Also, listen to some Marcin Dylla recordings for Naxos. Doesn't sound weak at all, though it was kindof the same setup (and same church).

Merci infiniment Ricardo Gallen.
Magic! A great pleasure to watch and to listen to! The prelude bwv998 is tasty and full of life!
Bach; the genious, the extraterrestrial.
So difficult to render !!!
Ricardo, no doubt you are a gifted.
no words after that music, thanks Ricardo!

This is guy is a "power house". Un sonido y una musicalidad tan perfecta y bella. God bless

Preludio BWV 998. Sencillamente SUBLIME. Gracias, Ricardo.
The Prelude BWV 998 was absolutely gorgeous. The best I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. Thank you for playing it.
So much detail in the sound of this kind of 'guitar' that you don't hear in the full bodied. It's like a different level of clarity.
Yes you are right 200 percent!
Beautiful ❤

@Brady Tony definitely, I have been using Instaflixxer for months myself :)
It's about time Ricardo! I'm so glad that you decided to share with all of us your perspective on Bach's music. Cannot wait to hear it all!
Fantastico! Bravo Ricardo. That guitar sounds beautiful.
Bravo Ricardo! Bravo Norbert!
Magnífico... un placer escucharte Ricardo! un fuerte abrazo
God of the guitar
magnificent Ricardo!
Sehr schön
Fascinante
Браво !
La guitarra y Gallen, son uno solo. Pfff Magnífico!
A lucky maple leaf on his music stand?
Gracefully played.
And the sound ,mama Mia!!!!
Is the concert recording is available somewhere?
Es el preludio en mi mayor de la suite para laud BWv 1006...de Johann Sebastian Bach....
Thanks for the video, does anyone know what microphones Norbert Kraft uses in this recording?
Bravo!!!! ¿Llegará el disco a Argentina?
Ricardo, when is the Bach CD released? you told me it was gonna be out in spring of 2011..!
We want to buy it!!
Best wishes from Sweden!
When is this coming out???!!!!!!
New Market, New Hampshire??
What edition is the book you play from?
He is sitting as a street player and at the same time the authentic classical sound and interpretation criteria gets out of the instrument.
What is the name of the first piece he plays?
why not do it single edit ?
Ricardo una pasada verte. A través de twitter he vuelto a contactar cantigo como la peli. tienes un E-mail
When filming something, please try to focus the camera lens on it. (1:46, 2:35)

I'd say mic placement is bloody great. True about the volume though.

I included it because I can't hear enough to know whether the mics are sensitive enough for the levels coming out of this guitar to allow for increasing the volume without noise.
They probably are. Check out other video's of guitarists recording for Naxos. Almost always super good sound with a similar setup.
Mathijs Ignoul Yeah, the two stand mics are ok and can be used effectively at those distances - *for the guitar*. And *if* the volume is brought to an appropriate level for the guitar.
