I don't regularly get teary eyed listening to Bach, but the clarity of tone and depth of feeling in this gorgeous interpretation did it for me. World class.
Теперь я точно знаю, что значит "убить двух зайцев") Это когда красивая девушка красиво играет на гитаре) Сам преподаю гитару, играю некоторые части из лютневых сюит, и поэтому знаю, какой колоссальный труд был Вами проделан, прежде чем Бах зазвучал красиво и убедительно. Мне тоже нравится, когда темп более умеренный. Когда эта прелюдия играется быстро, у меня, например, возникает чувство, как будто я не успеваю насладиться красотой пьесы. Вообще, мне кажется, Бахом надо, прежде всего наслаждаться. С большим удовольствием послушал сюиту в вашем исполнении. Благодарствуем! Так держать! Добра Вам, здоровья и удачи!
Upon reading further down in the comments I learned that she did have the score in front of her for certain passages. Her humility makes her all the more beautiful. She's a fantastic artist.
Beautifully done, Gohar! 👏👏👏 Absolutely loved it! The tempo of the prelude is so appropriate, and the way you transition to the Fugue, which was breathtaking, and each movement after till the Double so immaculately done! Bravo!!
Incredible performance Gohar!! The Sarabande was my favorite…until you played the Gigue…until that Double. How did you sustain such a legato bass line on that final movement? Amazing. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you!!!! I’m glad you enjoyed it!!!! I usually practice everything very slowly, which allows me to hear when notes get cut off… I always try to keep the bass line connected, it makes everything sound more legato. Unfortunately, there were some places I couldn’t connect the notes as well, because I had to reuse the same left hand finger on different strings.
@@GoharVardanyan Thanks Gohar for sharing your approach. Slow practice is a pretty amazing method! In addition to sustaining the bass notes for the required duration, I think legato playing requires a continuity of volume and tone that you handled very well. I understand there are times when your fingers simply can't hold a note, but you made it seem very connected.
This is my favourite. In Bach's music, things that are impossible to play on the guitar as written. But they can be wonderful if you play like you did. Fantastic performance!
I may be getting old, but I always considered Sharon Isben's rendition of this the definative version. But as new players come along they raise the bar, and you are certainly one of them. I would love to hear you explore and perform more baroque music -kind of like the way John Williams did with his "The Baroque Album" collection back in the day. Besides the usual suspects (lol) of Bach and Scarlatti, there are lots of little gems that are rarely played by world class players like you who have a spotlight and an opportunity to bring musical magic into this world. Roncalli and a lot of neglected works by S.L. Weis (outside of his suites or 'sonatas') come to mind. Wonderful performance! You never cease to impress! Much love....
This is really very very high level playing. Playing Bach is like riding a bike steeply downhill. ANY hesitation and you'll crash. Hard. Now try that with this tone and dynamics. Top level. Beautiful.
Really outstanding performance of this beautiful music.. I have listened to a number of renditions of music from this suite (very few complete renditions) by top players on YT and this I have enjoyed the most. Incredible mental stamina, technique and and artistic integrity. Fine audio recording too.
I know I just posted - but upon listnening to to this for a second time? well this is just crazy good. The melody talking above the walking bass in the final movement is just killer. Wow...
I see David Russell has just recorded this with people claiming it to be the definitive Bach, a new level never before seen in guitar playing ! Yours is better in my eyes, you should be recognised as world class along with top players like Williams, Russell and Barrueco. I am totally blown away by that performance !
Beautifully played, very clean, with great sentiment and accents. Definitely world class, I don’t get tired of listening to it. Keep up the great work..!!!
Some musicians are just more pleasant to look at play than others because of some small things they do. Maybe a facial expression maybe the way they move their hand. I think Gohar is such wonderful musician which makes viewed appreciate her face and eyes because of how they connect to the guitar.
Amazingly brilliant, I cant imagine how much practice it must have taken to be that good, massive respect to a beautiful piece played excellently, thank you for sharing.
Барэв, Го'ар! В одном из интервью вы говорили, что ".... но для его достойного исполнения необходимо огромное количество времени и безупречное техническое совершенство... Я играю его [Баха] дома ради собственного удовольствия". Насколько я могу понять, вы, Го'ар, теперь достигли вершин технического совершенства и можете порадовать своих подписчиков :) ... Мне очень понравилось! Спасибо! PS. И вам, чтобы играть произведения И.С. Баха, не потребовалась 10-струнная гитара! Думаю, что Н. Йепес был бы приятно удивлён.
Thanks a lot for sharing Gohar. I like this suite very much and in particular the gigue and the double. I think that your double is one of the best I ever heard. Great work. Thanks again.
There are no words to describes how beautiful this is part is. I'm working om my guitar to get at that level but this is hard working. Thank you for the upload!!
Great job on this massive undertaking. This Bach masterpiece works wonderfully on the classical guitar. I played this prelude and fugue at my university final year recital 45 years ago!
Fantastic performance ... thanks dear Gohar . I always love your works. Wish you the bests , i hope one day I can come to your concert and masterclass and whatch them💜💜💜 -Reyhan
Wow. I love the flow and tempo, and how all the voices stand out and interweave so beautifully. Thank you so much for sharing this-it was a great beginning to my day! :-)
Es la mejor interpretación que escucho desde el 1978 de ésta swit de JSB! Muy clara y precisa y hermosa obra de arte musical clásico!!! Yo monté de oido el primer movimiento nota por nota!
Oh my! Stunning interpretation. I am sooo exited that i will see her preform in april in salt lake city. I am not different than a kid counting down to christmas. Such a gifted and pretty lady!
It's a delight to hear your playing. I was amazed at the end during the double - your hand was moving so rapidly on the fretboard. I'd like to think Bach would have been impressed with this. You are a master of the guitar.
That's quite a disciplined tempo on the Prelude! It sounds as if you are hovering around 70 BPM which allows the piece to breathe. A bit of, wind between the trees if you will. Too often players rush thru the prelude and the subtleties get lost. That tempo pairs well with your phrasing. Thanks for uploading and sharing. Fantastic job.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I do like the prelude on the slower side, in contrast to the fugue which I prefer to play faster to sustain the voices, and connect them to each other better.
David, you're right. Ms Vardanyan tempo it's much better than other guitarists. Hers is an incredible performance. Makes me remember my time in the conservatory trying to play the prelude... Thanks Gohar Vardanyan, you're a true artist!
Wow! When you told me you were working on putting this out as your next project I had no idea I would see and hear it within 2 weeks! Incredible, I love it.
I started learning it in the Spring of 2020, on and off, sometimes taking long breaks from it to prioritize other rep. If you go back far enough, there are posts of me practicing this back then too. No way could I play the Fugue in two weeks, the sarabande and Gigue maybe… the Fugue and the Double needed time. Prelude… if it’s the only thing I practiced, I could do it sooner.
Just WOW! And I agree, the fugue is not a cradle song or funeral march -type. Enormous architecture there, so as throughout the suite. Thank you & rokrok
Absolutely beautiful!! There must have been a lot of hours of practicing before getting this result! Thanks a lot for all the effort!!! I will definitely add it to my 'classical guitar favourites' TH-cam playlist! ❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶😁😁😁😁
Thank you! I started learning it in the spring of 2020, practiced it on and off because other pieces needed priority. I’m glad you like it, it’s definitely one of my favorites.
You learned this very FAST. Incredible. Very confident playing. If I could make a small suggestion, The fugue being so long, I think more of a rallentando at the end would be more profound. It seemed a little sudden to me. What do you do to be able to memorize so quickly? Very enjoyable to hear you. What is your favorite musical spot in this suite?
There are a lot of them, it’s my favorite lute suite out of the 4. I wouldn’t call it learning quickly, I started working on it in the spring of 2020, took breaks to prioritize other rep when performances came up, then got back to this when I had more time, but still it took a while.
I love your thoughtful interpretation of this piece. It tells me that i play it too didactically.you mame it breath. Looking foreward to seeing you in salt lake city in may !
La majestuosa y compleja sabiduría musical de Bach. Una impecable ejecución en la guitarra llevada a cabo con gran sensibilidad. Gracias por este momento mágico que de pronto ha llenado el espacio de belleza.
I don't regularly get teary eyed listening to Bach, but the clarity of tone and depth of feeling in this gorgeous interpretation did it for me. World class.
Brava! Rarely does one hear Bach played with such intensity and soul. Truly marvelous performance.
Wow! What a fantastic performance!!!
How... on earth... can this have even a single dislike ?
Absolutely stunning... playing, recording, sound... it's got the whole bundle !!
Thank you!
Боже какая глубина, как правильно расставлены акценты, какая динамика невероятное исполнение!
Finally! You allow the music to breath and don't try to show off, a truly fantastic performance Gohar! STUNNING!
Bach forever in our hearts, and his musical depth Gohar
Beautiful.

Beautiful!!, (and those bars at 6:49 in the fugue that gave me a hard time in my youth sound immaculate). 👏👏👏
Einfach großartig, liebe Gohar so wohltuend, deine Musik, dein Spiel, für Herz und Gemüt, lbg. Christine

Ms. Vardanyan holds a Master of Music Degree from The Juilliard School where she studied with Sharon Isbin.
Nice performance, Gohar! At every point, you guided the listener’s attention through the beauty of this masterwork by Bach.
Thanks for listening! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Nice? She blows everyone else out of the water on this one! 😁
This is really very very high level playing. Playing Bach is like riding a bike steeply downhill. ANY hesitation and you'll crash. Hard. Now try that with this tone and dynamics. Top level. Beautiful.
You are truly wonderful guitarist. I haven't heard a better rendition of this piece. Brava!
Drew Hendersons may be
Absolutely stunning performance Gohar !!!
Thank you Neil!!! 😁😁😁
A beautiful performance with superb expression and control. Thank you for this Gohar!
I love your playing, not only the technical aspects of your playing, but your interpretation of every music you play is inspirational. Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you for watching again!!! Bach is amazing, if you just play all the notes and bring them out in a linear fashion, his music does the rest ! 🥰
I see David Russell has just recorded this with people claiming it to be the definitive Bach, a new level never before seen in guitar playing ! Yours is better in my eyes, you should be recognised as world class along with top players like Williams, Russell and Barrueco. I am totally blown away by that performance !

Love you johar.greàt playing.
Stunning … simply stunning performance, 👏🏻 bravo!
Gitar med denne typen musikk må være for folk med stor tålmodighet. Men vakkert er det!
Wow Wow Wow .... Merci !
The articulations are great, it's like I'm listening to 2 guitars. very good
Uneingeschränkte Bewunderung. Danke!❤
Beautifully played, very clean, with great sentiment and accents. Definitely world class, I don’t get tired of listening to it. Keep up the great work..!!!
This is the performance that makes you think this piece was actually written for classical guitar!
Great one!!
A big around of applause comes from the crowd. That's was brilliant many thanks Gohar for sharing.

Yay! 🥰
Thanks a lot for sharing Gohar. I like this suite very much and in particular the gigue and the double. I think that your double is one of the best I ever heard. Great work. Thanks again.
Thank you and it's my pleasure 😊 I'm glad you like it, it's my favorite suite out of the 4. That double is super fun to play :)
Bach es tan difícil, y lo interpretas tan bien!!! Simplemente asombroso!!!
One of the best performances i have ever heard till now. Bravo. Thanks for uploading.
Che bello potere ascoltare questa bella interpretazione ! Magnifico!
What a fantastic performance. Well done!
There are no words to describes how beautiful this is part is. I'm working om my guitar to get at that level but this is hard working. Thank you for the upload!!
Great workmanship. Beautiful, strong sound, perfect phrasing, ears are pulled by an expressive melody.
Perfect. Bravo.
Amazing Performance Indeed
Wonderful performance & rendition!💕👍👍👍

So lovely. Thanks for sharing it with us. I enjoyed it from start to finish.
One of the most super Bach pieces, superbly interpreted. Thank you, dear Gohar!
Maestra, you're living beauty.
I don’t know how this could be played better. Superb!! Thank you this monumental effort. Excellent production on all levels!!
Fantastic performance ... thanks dear Gohar . I always love your works. Wish you the bests , i hope one day I can come to your concert and masterclass and whatch them💜💜💜 -Reyhan
Wow!
Beautifully executed, excellent tone!
Nice selections!
Great playing, as always, Ms. Vardanyan! That fugue looks about as fun for the left hand as being stretched out on a rack.
This is my favorite interpretation on TH-cam so far! Thank you.
Thank you!
Hell yeah, homie! You did a phenomenal job. Thanks for sharing.
Wow. I love the flow and tempo, and how all the voices stand out and interweave so beautifully. Thank you so much for sharing this-it was a great beginning to my day! :-)
Thanks for listening and I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Absolutely stunning performance and that guitar sound is beautiful. And may I say you look incredible best wishes from UK England Phil 👍🎸
Incredibly challenging Bach piece. Masterfully played. How long did it take you to memorize?
Thank you! I didn’t track the exact time, but I was working on it for about 18 months on and off.
I'm at grade 3 and when i struggle a little, i listen to your albums or your pieces here and really feel inspired. Beautiful performance, thank you!
Thank you very much!!!! I’m so glad the album helps you get inspired!!! Yay!!!! 😍🤩😀
What a sound !
Purely enchanting.

C’est absolument extraordinaire comme interprétation!👍
Bravo et quelle sonorité vous faite ma journée! Merci!😁🙏
Bach is smiling in heaven! Great performance!
Really Good!! I used to play the fugue and remember it being monstrously hard. She made it look easy.

Thank you! I love ❤️ Bach! Can’t get enough!
@@GoharVardanyan Gohar let’s be honest… if there was only one repertoire available for classical guitar, I’d want it to beJS Bach.
I really like your playing....perfect mixture between technical brilliance and passion. thanks for sharing this, greetings from germany, wolfgang
LOVED it! Especially the gigue. Thank you so much for that masterful performance. You have a new subscriber here.
Welcome! I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for this recording Gohar. It's great!
Beatifull. Wonderfull.
This is a fantastic interpretation of this piece. You definitely brought this song to life.
Love it! Nice tempo and clear!

Hi Gohar
I am kissing your holly hands from far away(Australia)

Grandios,as usual
👏👏👏
Amazing!👏🎸 You are a brilliant guitarist! What a composition and an outstanding performance! Bravo, Maestra!🙂
You learned this very FAST. Incredible. Very confident playing.
If I could make a small suggestion, The fugue being so long,
I think more of a rallentando at the end would be more profound. It seemed a little sudden to me.
What do you do to be able to memorize so quickly?
