You're playing is absolutely perfect. listening to some of it while I eat my evening meal makes me almost forget I'm in this god awful century, for that I thank you.
Bingo !!! I finaly found the perfect rendition of this piece...now I can go to sleep... Best wishes Val, i beg you to continue your work...don't you dare stop... Kind regards, K
What a lovely sounding instrument; slightly more mellow than your other lute (the one made by Stephen Murphy). And very sensitive playing as always; you really are an asset to TH-cam, the internet and indeed the global music community!
C'est diabolique, cher FAUST musical ; épelons : F.A.U.T. , comme ton Méphisto fait l'S (Méphistophélès...). Superbe ! "Bach a destiné deux suites fort jolies à un instrument en voie de disparition de son vivant, mais dont il a su tirer d'admirables effets : LE LUTH." Carl de Nys Grand merci, Mr Val !
the cello suites .. are the most important to me.. like a prayer... it is such healing music the suites could be played at harp.. maybe. I enjoy the suites on lute tremendously! anne
Thanks a lot Per-Olov. I don't know if it sounds "more" Bach... anyway it is a cello piece, but fits well the lute and the guitar too. (and listening to your version in Roma gave me envy to play it too. so it's done now) Best regards Val ;-)
Thanks for this interesting analysis. I always prefer slow tempo for this one. Fast I feel we just hear the arpeggio but less the melodic line. Here I tried to make listen more the melody. All the best, Val
The tab is published by Tree Edition (you can orer it on the net easily, ant it is really not expensive, four Bach cello suites arranged for baroque lute by Gusta Goldschmidt, Tree editions)
Je ne pensais pas que ce prélude était jouable au luth. Il est pour moi déjà bien difficile à la guitare. Bravo et merci Val. Mon admiration augmente à chaque audition. A quand la chaconne ?
I am in love with that instrument. Makes my mandolin look like a child's toy. I agree with the slower pace. Playing Bach fast merely undermines the beauty of this wonderful music. Do you play any of John Dowland's compositions?
Yes different instruments, more fondamentals on this one, more harmonics on the lute by Stephen, both are interesting. Thanks for the comment. Regards, Val

@bangwhistle69 Are you joking ? This lute is tune in Dm, like a baroque lute should be tuned, of course. And there is no tempo indication on this piece, so who said it should be played fast. ... LOL !
Lovely! - Do you know where I can find the tab for this? I've only heard the theorbo version until I've heard this and I'd love to learn it, I'm sure I can make it fit on a 12 course baroque lute.
ça doit être dur de jouer cela au luth. Plus ardu que la guitare avec les doubles choeurs. Félicitations. Je ne joue pas encore de luth, je m'y mettrai peut-être un jour...
i notice you have an unusual right hand techniquie where your thumb sits behind your fingers. is this a personal preference or is this the standard hand position for lute players?
Val,
... and here it is: the Prelude! I LOVE it on the lute. Sounds o much more "bach" than when I play it! WOW! Very enjoyable!!
Merci!!
Per-Olov
One of my favorite cello numbers of all time, and now one of my favorite lute pieces! Great job!
You're playing is absolutely perfect. listening to some of it while I eat my evening meal makes me almost forget I'm in this god awful century, for that I thank you.
What can I do, apart from give one big smile! Lovely playing, as ever.
Bingo !!! I finaly found the perfect rendition of this piece...now I can go to sleep...
Best wishes Val, i beg you to continue your work...don't you dare stop...
Kind regards,

Difficile à apprivoiser mais très agréable à écouter.On est preneurs !
Hello Val
C'est la premiére fois que j'entends ce prélude joué sur un luth !(Pas d'la tarte apparement )***** J.C.
I am in love with that instrument. Makes my mandolin look like a child's toy. I agree with the slower pace. Playing Bach fast merely undermines the beauty of this wonderful music.
Do you play any of John Dowland's compositions?

einfach geil....

Are you joking ? This lute is tune in Dm, like a baroque lute should be tuned, of course. And there is no tempo indication on this piece, so who said it should be played fast.

!
Nice. I usually hear it on classical guitar. Lute is very good.
Lovely! - Do you know where I can find the tab for this? I've only heard the theorbo version until I've heard this and I'd love to learn it, I'm sure I can make it fit on a 12 course baroque lute.
Thanks ;-)
This is a 13 courses baroque lute, so 11 double strings and 2 singles, total 24 to be tuned... ;-)
Thanks Tim ;-) Yes this music is nice on the lute too.
V.
Thanks a lot ;-)

ça doit être dur de jouer cela au luth. Plus ardu que la guitare avec les doubles choeurs. Félicitations. Je ne joue pas encore de luth, je m'y mettrai peut-être un jour...

i notice you have an unusual right hand techniquie where your thumb sits behind your fingers. is this a personal preference or is this the standard hand position for lute players?
@wilsond882
No my playing is not perfect (but is perfection in this world ?) Anyway I'm glad you like it !
All the best
