Young guitarists today defy (and demolish) conventional wisdom about what can or cannot be played on our instrument. When I was studying classical guitar in my youth I would not have hesitated to call stupid someone at the sole mention that the parts of Bach´s BWV 826 played so masterfully played here would some day be included in concert repertoire. This is so amazing to listen to! My warmest congratulations to this generation of guitarists, and my admiration to Maestro Topchii!!!
What a wonderful program and excellent performance! I've heard some of these pieces performed by him and he always plays them differently. This is the highest level of skill and musical intelligence. I was very impressed that the concert was broadcast online. Few people have such courage to play such a complex program live. Bravissimo, Mark!

Thank you Marko your amazing concert! Thank you for keep inspiring to be the greatest version of us like classical guitar players as the GFA made it for you along many years!
I was. It was a part of the idea to draw the connection between the previous year into the new. And I actually kept even thinking how I would've probably been kicked out of the competition for being durrrty
Incredible concert, Marko. I was center, 3rd row. What a program….difficulty level 10/10. You played wonderfully, as always. Oh, and I very much appreciate your sense of style and the outfit change at intermission. On that note, what sneakers were you wearing in the first half? Alexander McQueen? Giuseppe Zanotti? I must know!❤
Why such a quiet sound? In normal headphones to the limit on the computer and here is also to the limit. All the same, nonsense ... is weakly audible (((only if the headphones stick in the ears ..
Marco is like a fly, he flies wherever there is a competition? So annoying! All old songs, no improvement in skills, but more and more competitions! Is it for money or for internet fame? Every game he wins is a consolation prize (sympathy for Ukraine being invaded). This is actually disrespectful to music. GFA is playing politics, it should stop!
The last song was new, I made the arrangement just for you, would you like to get a free copy for 9.99? I am so sorry you had to watch this, but I'm afraid it will be forever... thank you for also writing here again, my precious haterrr
@@MarkoTopchii You MarkoTopchii must have a brain short circuit. People who play guitar are mostly persistent. You have gone through a lot of purgatory in the process of playing guitar. Your emotional intelligence is like a child. Many people are disgusted by your frequent participation in various competitions. Don’t you know it at all? It’s uncomfortable to listen to you playing guitar? But you feel good about yourself? It’s incredible...
@@STLee-oz1wp I'm not jealous at all. I know more about music than Mark. Mark won many competitions, but he only got consolation prizes! It's not a talent! It's so embarrassing! So many people died in Ukraine, and a green-headed fly appeared. It's a pity!
@@bdn-135 You are nobody. It’s strange that the administrator does not respect his channel, his viewers and subscribers and allows such offensive comments to appear. This is not criticism, but dirt and insult and characterizes you as an unworthy person. If Mark is a fly, and you are implying that flies fly to shit, then are you saying that the GFA with its artists and audience is a piece of shit that he flew to? However, the presence of people like you only increases the achievements of those they bark at

Спасибо, Марк, за прекрасную музыку и исполнение!
For a second I thought he was competing again. 😅

He surely would if it was allowed 😂

@@MarkoTopchii Great concert! That performance would win this year for sure.
What a great player, one of the best in the world !
Какой прекрасный музыкант! Именно музыкант, а не только гитарист

Besides the music, which was incredible, the 2nd suit was the best 👏
