J.S. Bach on 8-string guitar. Adagio and Fuga BWV 1003

- The Adagio and Fuga from J.S. Bach's second Sonata for Solo Violin BWV 1003.
This arrangement draws upon material from Bach's own arrangement of this piece for keyboard BWV 964. Seeing how Bach alters his own works to suit a different instrument was an incredibly educational experience. A change of key, notes, added harmony and tempo (Grave vs Adagio...for guitar, i believe the latter works better) gave me a lot of options for this arrangement.

I am disabled, and also very ill, but due to a compromised immune system, my doctor does not want me to go to a hospital. You cannot imagine how much joy you have given me in a very difficult time. Thank you so very much.
The best of wishes to you.
wishes of luck and good healt to you, mate.
Wish you well....
Hello Nick ... Here is Francisco. Be strong, man.
Me also, same scenario really
The fugue is like the flow of water in a river. You carry the spirit of Bach inside of you. It is very important to play Bach's music.
the name matters...😊
I want to never take for granted the ability to enjoy the craft of a truly great musician like Drew because I can access it with the tap of a screen. Long ago, performances of this quality would likely have not have been available to one like me. Calming, inspiring. Many thanks!
Absolutely beautiful work-the playing, the sound, the camera angles. You let Bach do the talking, and that takes mastery.
ONE OF THE MOST MUSICAL , CULTURED & CLEANEST GUITAR PERFORMERS OF TODAY !
The precision of a well trained classical player is almost as beautiful as the music itself. I am forever in awe at the determined work ethic required to play like this.
Michael Jamieson . In both of these pieces you see the unique symbiotic relationship between musician, instrument and material as Drew detaches himself from his dimensional world and enters another realm where he channels Bach from the grave directly to our ears. It is a magical performance.
My deaf son (with coclear implant) loves this performance. Thank you!
I fell in love with the classical guitar when I would listen to buskers in San Francisco as a young teen. My mother got a guitarist to give me private lessons, but with an old acoustic guitar, it was very difficult. Even though I never learned to play well, at 63, I still love to listen to those who have mastered it.
Requires repeated listening to fully appreciate the depth of this performance.... humbling beautiful.
Drew's ability to emphasize the fugue's motif from beginning to end, to articulate the voicing, keeping each voice distinct while maintaining perfect tone and technique both amazes and inspires me. José Tomás, who made the 8-string guitar a concert instrument, would be blown away by Drew's talent. I heard him play this same Adagio and Fugue decades ago in Alicante.
I can't even put into words the amount of time, patience, practice and skill it takes to play something as intricate as that piece is...and then to play it all from memory. Mindblowing.
+David C. Theiss thank you! I really appreciate the support. I’ve been playing this piece on and off since university (a long time ago). This is definitely one of the hardest pieces I’ve ever had to memorize. Thanks for watching!
Drew Henderson Thank you Drew for such a wonderful experience!! You have gained another faithful follower! Cheers! Kevin.
Drew Henderson : Wonderful performance!
Do you only play on 8 string or do you alternate with a 6 string?
Am i wrong or wouldnt it be harder to play it from reading with out all the muscle memory of playing it without reading
I agree with you, Kenbo Jones. You really have to be a master musician to play such a difficult piece lake that.
That 8-string guitar is like an extension of his own body...perfectly executed. A perfect balance of technique & emotion, his intonation and timbre is flawless. 302 tone-deaf haters.
This is truly a superb performance. The Bach fugues are not easy to bring together at this level. So much perfection in your playing Drew. I think Bach would have big smile on listening to this.
Bach transcribes so well to nylon string guitar...this man is amazing.
This is just incredibly beautiful and precise. I've played guitar for 55 years and never approached this level of technique. There is no better way to hear much of Bach's music than nylon strings and ten fingers dancing all over them. Thankyou Drew for your dedication to this instrument.
The artist gives the music all the tenderness and passion it deserves and of course Bach deserves a lot.
That was excellent. The people who gave it a thumbs down are truly joyless individuals.
What a wonderful performance. Inspiring.
I was gonna tag you in this! hahaha!
I LOVE YOU RICK
Thanks Rick! I checked out your channel, really really amazing!
The master hath spoken.
Rick Graham I am seriously anticipating for you to lead the way with classical performances on the electric guitar. I reckon tele is a good starting point, or perhaps a chambered kiesel. If anyone can do it it's you.
Mr. Hendersen, you do both the guitar and JS Bach justice. Thank you for sharing your talent. Bravo!!!!!
Holy Hannah My dear brother Drew.
Julian Bream is in musical heaven, probably wondering why he didn't record on an 8 string.
It's lovely, it's beautiful, and you play deeply beautifully, and it helps make the world a better place than how we found it. Which was Bach's whole point.
How many subjects and Ideas come together to create truth, beauty, and meaning, to help make existence worthwhile.
Thanks for your gifts and sharing them with us.
Ronnie
And to think he did that in his sleep
haha
He’s not asleep he’s closing his eyes ur an I d dot
@@CookieMasterRBLX No, he's definitely asleep. I even heard a snore at one point
@@CookieMasterRBLX Hi, I am a professional sleep identifier and I can confirm he is indeed asleep. Truly remarkable that he did this while sleeping. Great work, Drew.
@@CookieMasterRBLX if you look close hes actually playing this while dead
Very nice sound of 8 string guitar.
The performance is wonderfull.
Thank you so much.
Indeed ! Of course, Drew is maybe the best classical guitar player, but, in addition, the sound of his guitar is the most beautiful never heard. He is very good with Michael Kolk
Absolutely beautifully preformed..🎶🙏🎶
Or even “performed”.
The great things about the music of Bach is that it can be transposed and interpreted by artists in so many ways and yet still retain its appeal to purists who appreciate his musical genius.
A very majestic performance that suits this composition of Bach ...
Fantastic! Bach is a Master, but Henderson is more than up to the task!
Total perfection comes as standard!
Fabulous!!👏👏👏👏👏
An ASTONISHING performance! Clapping! Made my cry. You really pulled off an entire large Bach fugue on a GUITAR and did it with exquisite musicality and panache. I love you man. Wow.
5:29 wow that bass string I love it! Excellent performance thank you Drew!
I m from Russia. I m watching this video many times. It s amazing! I began to play guitar 15 years ago, but I m cant imagine HOW? This is high level! Thank you very much! I will see all your video and will enjoy your magic performance!
Love listening to Bach on the classical guitar, and the 8-string guitar is a nice touch
I get lost in music like this, especially when the performance focuses on bringing out the best from the score. Bravo.
Who would give this a thumbs down? Wonderful playing!
Haunting beautiful tone.The fugue was awesome.
So beautiful and almost nobody watching. This video should have millions of hits and LIKES. When i see this, my guitar sits in the corner for a few days.
Nice to see another musician who actually understands Bach with their heart rather than head. I don't find too many musicians who get to the depth of Bach as you do in this performance. Great work.
Браво!!!! Спасибо
leaves me speechless and in tears! so wonderful !!!!
Completely lost for words. Amazingly accurate and beautiful.
Wow! An amazing performance - somehow the extra bass strings give the piece even more dimension. Wonderful interpretation and so cool to hear Bach played on an 8-string guitar.
Absolutely impressive! Tone, phrasing, fluency...everything. Wonderful playing!
Beautiful performance. Full of virtuosity and talent. Thank you very much.
The word ‘exquisite’ was invented for performances such as this...
Поринув у щось світле та прекрасне.
Дякую за чари, пане музикант.
The mastery of Bach on display.
You are without a doubt, the best guitarist I have ever seen or heard.
I'm in awe, the command, the phrasing, its just on another level entirely; I'm so humbled by your performance. Thank you.
That impressed me to the core, what a wonderful sound and very nicely played. Thank you Drew.
Dude is an amazing guitarist.
Standing ovation, bravo, bravo, bravo.
This is absolutely divine.
After listening to this I am unsure if I should resume my guitar studies or simply retire. MANY thanks for sharing. It is grand to know what the music I am struggling with is supposed to be.
Never give up. It’s within us all!
I've seen this videos over a hundred times over the years, and yet, every time I come back I'm blown away all over again! Drew, my goodness, your talent is immense.
Incredible! I've honestly never heard that fugue sound so good. Thanks for sharing this .
Exquisite! Such clarity! I love the depth provided by the additional strings. BRAVO!
The adagio is beautiful but the fugue shows the full brilliance of the master, with each phrase building and building to an incredible level of beauty. Gorgeous playing of this sublime piece.
On reste sans voix devant tant d'éloquence musicale, tant de virtuosité!
not a note out of place, incredible.
Dude that's heavy! Everything you added fills the space perfectly.
Oh Man this is divine what you play, and all by heart, Bech, amazing colours amazing tones, simplicity, beauty, color, would listen and liten.
The tierce of Picardi at the end of the fugue is a good idea that Bach wrote it, because of the complexity of the fugue, it bring back the listener to reality.
Spellbinding. I needed this today. Thank you.
This performance is soul-drenching!
Both of my favorites! And I've never heard any better ! Love it !!
As some ppl say: if there's a music of Bach then there must be a God
Very talented professional,on an 8 string lute! Magnifico classical!
Extraordinary! Your performance is the envy of most violinists!
The tone, mastery and interpretation of this are all masterful. Such a good job, man.
After years and years of watching all types of amazing guitarists playing various genres on TH-cam you kind of get desensitized and very hard to impress. But once in a blue moon you come across one of these videos that makes you go "god damn" again. Extremely clean playing. The definition of a smooth operator.
This guitar sounds exceptionally well. Great playing.
Che suono pulito, preciso, sicuro...... Si! Mi piace! Bravo Maestro!
Muscle memory plays a huge role in long pieces like this. Thank you for this masterpiece.
Very beautiful... I love it. I can't get this piece out of my head.
Wow! The guitar sounds great, very big soulful sound.
You are a magician Drew, everything you play is amazing. I also love your duos with Michael, you and he seem to be "as one" when playing together, almost like it is ONE person playing.
Thank you for all you share with us here.
Such an elegant sound. And the trills are just perfect! Thanks for sharing this video!
Охренительно.... Каждый раз слушая, душа плачет
All angels have descended and whisper in my ear the song of Grace.
Absolutely beautiful tone, space, time, composition. As nearly flawless as humanly possible. Great Music, Great musician.
Simply amazing Drew - the music, the technique, the guitar. Beautiful!
I only discovered you yesterday and am blown away by the sound you make. Glorious! Thank you Drew.
Amazing performance, every note was so clean and the emotion is just unreal.
Wow, that guitar has a beautiful tone. It almost sounds like a piano.
"The piano is a beast that screams when you touch its teeth.", Andres Segovia
what makes you think that comparing the sound of the guitar with a piano makes any sense at all??
@@datdang9113 I asked the same question. Two totally distinct sounds, even to the untrained ear. Both gorgeous in their own glory, though.
@@rabokarabekian409 Thank you for this. The sentence was in my heart but never uttered.
@@forbidinjustice You have a trained ear? Ha.
Heavenly sound! Flawless! Incredible!
Thats absolutely fantastic performance! Breathtaking! Thank you so much for making it available for us here
This is truly one of the most inspiring guitar performances, the way you have used this instrument, particularly in the fuga, is just crystalline. You, sir, are in a class of your own. I also just want to say that your performance with Michael Kolk of Bach's Dm concerto is one I return to over and over. Please keep it up!
Honestly Drew you're one of my favourite guitarists man. Yet another spectacular video and performance.
yeah Drew is unreal
Outstanding rendition.
Drew, I always look forward to your performance videos and observing your masterful technique. Wonderful arrangement of the Adagio, and the Fuga fills the church with transcendent sound. Love it!
I love me some Bach. So relaxing and soothing to hear, and this version with this instrument did not dissapoint.
I bow to you, Maestro.
Gorgeous! Flawless performance, soulful interpretation, wonderful setting, beautiful instrument.
I Liked your comment! Greetings from musical Italy
@@mariangelacroci881 Ed i miei saluti dalla città musicale di Boston!
Italiana dalla città della Scala, Milano... Musicalmente grazie!
Beautiful and flawless, I loved it.
Nothing but love !! Beautiful !!!
Thank you so much for this and indeed all your stellar work. It is almost magical the way you symbiotically synthesize musician, instrument and material taking us to another realm. I cannot tell you the hours of pleasure you give me. Thanks again!
Absolutely exquisite! What beautiful expressive playing. I hope there will be much for us to listen to.
Incredible performance, amazing precision and depth of feeling.
That was fucking DELICIOUS. Dynamics. Tonal shifts. Tempo contraction and dilation. Accuracy. Especially the Fuge. Players such as yourself will keep out beloved JSB alive. Forever. Tasty tasty tasty.
Simply, a giant artist.
This is the perfect control, coordination and relaxation of mind and body in action that I am envy so much about. Great arrangement and performance !
This was very pleasant to have playing while I got ready to go out this morning. Thank you for creating a comfortable atmostphere.
i have listened to that music a hundred times . Never enough.
