I've seen the Vienna Philharmonic in the Golden Hall in Vienna. I've seen Barenboim in Prague. I've seen the LSO and the LPO in London. I've seen the Magic Flute on Lake Constance. I've seen Bruckner played in St. Florian. I've seen concerts in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Kyiv. But, I have never seen, a more unassuming man, wearing simple clothes, playing a barely known instrument, with so few followers, play with such virtuosity.
I’ve a new recording of this piece and would be interested what you you like that inte if you compare. Better clothes 😊🙏🎶 th-cam.com/video/DaJ6ri_ccWk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RYCItFBPwhHwleR5
O primeiro pensamento que vem à cabeça é o quanto Bach é fabuloso: sua música funciona em qualquer instrumento. Depois, à medida que a música vai rolando, o fator "curiosidade" do instrumento, vai sumindo e fica só a admiração pela musicalidade do instrumentista. Coisa linda.
Die Nyckelharpa kannte ich als Instrument bisher nicht. Ein beeindruckendes, sehr schön klingendes Instrument und eine wunderbare Interpretation der Chaconne!
Découvrir cette version sur TH-cam de la Chaconne de J.S.Bach sur la nyckelharpa suédoise est un moment de bonheur absolu. Un très grand merci à ce merveilleux musicien pour ce cadeau unique!
Your artistry is otherworldly, I could add the combined comments of everyone else who has taken the time to comment on this performance.. Please record all of the BACH solo works so we may purchase them. Your interpretation is extraordinary. The breaking of chord follows the musical line perfectly. Thank you, thank you. MORE!!!!!

The first thought that comes to mind is how fabulous Bach is: his music works on any instrument. Then, as the music unfolds, the "curiosity" factor of the instrument fades away, leaving only admiration for the musician's musicality. Beautiful thing.
Wow it's the first time to see this musical instrument. Even better, one of the best musics in the history was perfectly played by a great musician on this instrument!
This is an extraordinary interpretation! I am floored by the whole setup, the consumate articulations, the whole pace, which like a journey of emotions can be seen on the face of the interpret. Plus I had never heard of this instrument before, which seems to have a lot of keys below the fretboard.
I don't remember the last time a bach interpretation moved me this much. Thanks for sharing! I adore how full of life it is, that it is sad and playful at the same time.

What were the years when everyone knew these instruments were common? I’m 83 years old, an ardent classical music follower, and this week has been the first I’ve heard of it.
The oldest Nyckelharpa (Key harp) found is one from the 16th century but there are depictions of them in churches that dates back even further. The reason you have never heard of it before is that A) its Swedish and while found in Norway and Denmark as well, never really spread out to Europe but there are pictures of it german dictionaries from that time. B) It was a folk music instrument and no real classical music was written for it. Sadly, high-browed historians never thought much about the history of the common folk or their music until recently. C) For some reason it started to lose in popularity. It appears it by this time was still a very simple instrument and could only play traditional songs. By the beginning of the 20th century few instrumentmakers knew how to make one. It didnt get popular again until it was pretty much redesigned to be chromatic and able to play in other keys than just C. So the Nyckelharpa might look old, but its pretty much reinvented and redesigned in the 1960s

This is a masterpiece that sounds equally sublime played by violin, guitar, mandolin, piano, nickelharp and I guess any instrument you could imagine, as long as it is polyphonic.....but this rendition is indeed top notch! Congratulations and many many thanks for sharing this beauty....

Tack, Torbjörn! Having grown up with Milstein's version and even in more recent (rediscovered) baroque period style on violin, I always felt Choconne was an anguished, dark thing. In your hands it sounds so much lighter and more uplifting! Brilliant. Bravo.
Staggering, incredible, amazing, astonishing, marvellous, phenomenal, breathtaking, mind-boggling and -blowing, out of this world, fabulous, fantastic!

Oh man. What. I'm crying so hard right now. Thank you Sir for this, from the bottom of my heart. You're outstanding, brilliant interpretation of this masterpiece.
So incredibly beautiful. This is THE most beautiful, intelligent, and sensitive interpretation I have ever heard. You are a true virtuoso. Thank you for sharing this.
303 years ago J S Bach would invited anyone on any instrument to play at his church or church hall to play his works . After all piccolo violins and post horns viols da Gamba and viola d amores were used in his First Brandenburg concertos.
I have to say, I love this amazing talent and virtousuo playing it. Just mind blowingly amazing. Thank you dear sir :) Please come to a round to Finland. I will be the fan on the premises if you will come :)
What a superb talent this man has, and on an instrument I've never heard of. Bach's Chaconne in D minor is also brilliant on the classical guitar. No guitarist has ever come close to the drama and excitement of Segovia's rendition from, I think, the 1950's.

It's a well-known instrument in Sweden. 🙂

Schönes Instrument, dass mehr Wertschätzung gebührt. Ebenfalls ist das Stück wunderschön gespielt worden und ein genuss für die Ohren.

My favorite moment is literally the last second, when he looks at the camera and raises an eyebrow as if to say, " I guess that wasn't too bad...."
I had never heard of this instrument but in your hands it sounds breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing

Helt fantastiskt framförande! Det klingar så otroligt barockt med medryckande frasering, dynamik, artikulation och klang - underbart!
I have never given a video a standing ovation until this day. I am in awe.

I would never have imagined the nyckelharpa was capable of this! I am simply amazed at this performance.
Thank you!!!

It doesn't get much better then Bach and Nyckelharpa !

Heart warming, soul lifting and inspiring sonic nourishment masterfully served on an instrument I never heard/of before.

Absolutely and utterly magnificent. Beyond sublime.
Interprétation sublime sur un instrument extraordinaire de complexité !
Makes me glad be human.
Merci pour cette interprétation magnifique qui donne sa vraie valeur à ce chef d'œuvre.
I've always loved the sound of the nyckelharpa. Beautiful!
Except for the clicking sound in the background.
@@robertlayzer7832 That's part of it. Kinda like saying "I'd like a bagpipe if it wasn't for those pipes."
Stunning performance on an intriguing instrument entirely new to me. Very many thanks!
Beautiful, very happy to discover this instrument. Thank you!
Oh man. What. I'm crying so hard right now. Thank you Sir for this, from the bottom of my heart. You're outstanding, brilliant interpretation of this masterpiece.
If I didn't know any better I would swear Bach had composed this for this instrument. What an excellent interpretation!
So incredibly beautiful. This is THE most beautiful, intelligent, and sensitive interpretation I have ever heard. You are a true virtuoso. Thank you for sharing this.
Wow. Tremendous piece on a tremendous interpretations. Awesome instrument too! Thank you!

what an underestimated instrument
I've never seen this instrument. Superb performance in every way. What a talented performer! Thank you.
This sounds like more than one person and one instrument are playing... beautiful!
That is the point with this instrument.Just like the Hardanger fiddle.
303 years ago J S Bach would invited anyone on any instrument to play at his church or church hall to play his works . After all piccolo violins and post horns viols da Gamba and viola d amores were used in his First Brandenburg concertos.
Beautiful. Thank you for such a musical and heartfelt performance.
Would really like to see the Biography of this living legend on Wikipedia to get to know him better. What a blessing in Sound and Performance.
Wonderful piece and so well played, I really enjoyed it, thank you.
Understated execution of heart rending piece. Wonderful.
Класс! Супер интерпретация и звучание! Потрясающая Правая рука! Браво!!!
Absolutely the perfect high-talent of an nykkel-harppa virtuouse :)
Jag älskar de nyckelharpa sung de so mycket (tyvär: jag kan inte tala svenska) =D
Amazing! Beautiful! Thank you ever so much for the wonderful performance!
You are an outstanding musician. I have learned something here that I would have dreamed of.

Absolutely stunning. Well played Sir, bravo!
Wow! I watched your video because I saw it in the delcamp forum. I am totally mesmerized. In old days I would have said 1000 stars ***** ! Andreas
Good grief, aamaaazing.
Bravo! Thank you very much! This is the musical quality of Pablo Casals or André Segovia. More recordings please!
I have to say, I love this amazing talent and virtousuo playing it. Just mind blowingly amazing. Thank you dear sir :) Please come to a round to Finland. I will be the fan on the premises if you will come :)
Mind blowing performance!!

Incredibly beautiful...wow!
A superb performance.
Amazing, lovely, thank you!
Incredible. Simply - a finger from God touched the earth again.
When he said "I want to play the violin!" and was told "The violin has no frets!" He did, and did, and Nyckelharpa!
Absolutely Marvellous !. A wonderful sound and performance x.
great interpretation! love the sound of the nyckelharpa
Thanks very much for the clever ideas and strategies in your interpretation the Chaconne.
Incredible to be able to get that much detail to the many notes from an instrument that looks like that!

bravissimo! incredible! you must be a very good violinist for playing the chaccone so good!
I couldn't even imagine that Chaconne sounds awesome not in the violin only
What a superb talent this man has, and on an instrument I've never heard of. Bach's Chaconne in D minor is also brilliant on the classical guitar. No guitarist has ever come close to the drama and excitement of Segovia's rendition from, I think, the 1950's.
