Thank you so much. All I can say is that it takes me so, so long, and so much hard work. Well, "hard work" is the wrong term, because I love it down to my bones, but it's just so many hundreds of hours. Maybe someday it will be easier for me. I think I feel the same way watching this guy that you feel watching me. Just can't believe it can be so good: th-cam.com/video/9yp7uWMDzOk/w-d-xo.html
@@adamroth75 Indeed!! The link you shared reminds me of J Bream --a bit brittle maybe? I think your tone is unreal! : ) A long time ago I reached a high intermediate level, and that took tons of work. Now I go for less of a tightrope act and more instant gratification: th-cam.com/video/BmrnwppEznI/w-d-xo.html
Start with the Bouree, then the Allemande. Next, tackle the Gigue and then move on to the Passagio/Presto (Passagio is easier). Save the Courante and the Sarabande for last, as they are the most difficult.
Beautiful performance...very nice Bach suite!... Hearing this on guitar is fantastic... Really is good!... Bravo!... 👍!.. 🔔!... Have a great day new friend!...from of Honduras 🇭🇳!.... Hemigdio!
The Allemande from this piece is one of my favorite pieces of music ever written. Your interpretation is outstanding. 2020 and Bach’s genius is still being digested and awe inspiring. Bravo...
Escucharlo en guiatrristas como Usted es sentir la presencia absoluta de Bach, gracias mil, simplemente maravilloso, nunca escuche ese tempo de la Giga , es un nuevo camino hacia la luz.
amazing work Adam...your impeccable timing and phrasing reminds so much of John William's epic recording of Bach lute works. It takes this level of skill in order to interpret Bach on the guitar and still be able to appreciate the polyphony of Bach's music. Congratulations.
I find that many great players of Bach miss something about how they interpret the music, you really bring them all to life, this is the first time I've actually enjoyed listening to anyone play the whole 996 suite and enjoy it !, thank you Adam :)
Wow!!! Came to this after listening to Bouree', Ian Anderson. Credits said it was based on this. Great, incredible, amazing and so relaxing. Always loved, listening to and playing minor key music. It's great in all genre's . Thanks for the treat.
Excellent interpretation, bravo sir. Was one of my favorite pieces to play as a music major way back when. This makes me want to go back to it. You've given me a fresh inspiration. Thanks very much for posting it.
Excellent performance of the legend Bach with excellent technic and nuance. By the way, i liked the guitar sound. It was extremely superb. Thanks for uploading.
There are few things more exciting than a really good live performance in the flesh right there before your very eyes! You did it for me! I was amazed and I am sure that Father Bach would approve. It is also amazing that Bach composed this during a few weeks playing with Samuel Weiss( if I remember correctly). We also forget that Bach's grandfather played the lute and it was probably one of the first instruments that Bach would have played. And just one thing more. When Segovia was desperate for a reportoire for the guitar,this is what he found.
I'm impressed that this managed to calm me down drastically, I woke up angry as all hell from a stupid dream, I can't even tell you how much this music helps
Nice tone and interpretation! Also very delighting to hear you play the allemande in a more moderate tempo, most people play that movement way to fast :)
Supernatural playing dude! I have a hard time believing someone wrote this and an even harder time believing someone could play it as faultless as you did here. 5 stars, two thumbs up (I have this piece but like someone else here, I only know bourree and that is mainly because of Jethro Tull)
wow :p i have tried to play most of these pieces. but i play them too fast and it is just not alot of music, i realise this after this video, thank you
One tip from a student guitarist is to sing the piece in your head... Most importantly Bach... you should really sing a lot.... that will improve the way you perceive musical phrases and with that, you will have a tendency to slow down....
Thanks for watching! While we don't have an original source of this music in Bach's hand, one of the surviving primary sources (copied by another) is inscribed with the subtitle: "aufs Lauten Werck", a reference to a funky keyboard instrument invented in 1718 that's a kind of mash-up of a lute and harpsichord. So, this piece may have been originally for a keyboard instrument anyway! Cheers, Adam
@@adamroth75 You know, I was surprised by how nicely the notes fit on the piano, but at the same time I found the notes to be very sparse for a keyboard piece. Of course it is difficult to judge since I have not played too many pieces that were possibly intended for the lute-harpsichord : )
Well, the journey is a joy, and there's no limit to the improvement we can attain via hard work, creativity and imagination. Good luck! Thanks for watching!
He's busy being conscientious about existence, I think. Here's free: www.delcamp.net/pdf/johann_sebastian_bach_bwv_996_suite_prelude_presto_allemande_courante_sarabande_bourree_gigue.pdf On the east coast of US, some of us used Frank Koonce's edition. There's tons of editions to work from. I wish I knew why and how they all came about. I wasted all of my time on TH-cam.
I thought you were Galbraith from the thumbnail lol. Great performance overall I just think it's a bit too slow. What I like more about your version than Galbraith's is the fact that you do iterations man that bourree definitely deserves more than the 30s Galbraith puts into it, the only thing I like more from his is that he actually goes from the bourree to gigue through an anacrusa idk if Bach noted that but it was usual to start gigues with anacrusa I think.
Funny, though. I was watching a few excerpts from one of my other videos (BWV 997) the other day, and thought it was lacking in a lot of respects. Some people only listen to what's wrong, myself included. So, in fairness, it *could* be way better, and I don't begrudge anyone their opinion. Frankly, I'm amazed at how kind the comments always are. Maybe only good people watch Bach :)
3:08 allemande
5:08 courante
7:15 sarabande
9:57 bourree
11:24 giga
isnt it courante ?
Yes it is. Probably was a mistake.
Merci mon pote Tobi !
João Oliveira corranda
Thank you bud!
This piece is another reminder that though his music: Bach lived before us, lives throughout our whole lives, and will live long after we are gone.
added you to my 'Bach' playlist.....my morning routine.....if you start a day with Bach.....well, its the best way to begin the day......
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
You can start a day with Bach, but never finish on the Bach, always finish on Debussy.
@@MrJaxonl why?
nerd
I do this too, I call it Wake n Bach
My compliments. Very clean and beautiful interpretation.
This Allemande is one of my all time favorite pieces by any composer....and this version is stellar! bravo
I remember listening to this rendition five years ago, forgetting about it. Now I’m back and surprised I never subscribed. Love the way you play!
how on earth can you execute all that so perfectly and with such a lovely tone? this is absolutely beautiful
Thank you so much. All I can say is that it takes me so, so long, and so much hard work. Well, "hard work" is the wrong term, because I love it down to my bones, but it's just so many hundreds of hours. Maybe someday it will be easier for me.

It's an honor for both the performer and audience to be part of the tradition that keeps this music alive. Thank you for watching!
14:26 minutes of pure emotion. Thanks! That's my favourite J.S. Bach Suite ever. I wish I could be able to play it someday.

Love it - beautiful playing and production, too. Thanks for putting this out into the world for us to hear!
Oh my, you're so welcome. Thanks for the kind words.
The best recording of this piece that I ever listened!
I'm humbled. Thank you so much for listening!
It's nice but listen to Narciso Yepes version on his twelve string guitar.
very clever music, insane harmonies!
and beautifully executed, so clean and perfectly paced!
Superb playing! I have listened to a lot of Bach on various instruments, but your playing really spoke to me.
amazing work Adam...your impeccable timing and phrasing reminds so much of John William's epic recording of Bach lute works. It takes this level of skill in order to interpret Bach on the guitar and still be able to appreciate the polyphony of Bach's music. Congratulations.
Wow. Thank you so much.
GCEAE I would agree...I’ve listened to a lot of Williams and Bream and Segovia and this isn’t far off!!
I find that many great players of Bach miss something about how they interpret the music, you really bring them all to life, this is the first time I've actually enjoyed listening to anyone play the whole 996 suite and enjoy it !, thank you Adam :)
I know what you mean! His tempo is perfect and the dynamics come to life so well.
Beautiful piece and a beautiful performance, bravo!
This is absolutely the best BVW996 performance I've ever heard.
where's the emoji for "humbly bow to you in thanks"?
Outstanding, beautifully played. THanks for sharing.

Bravo. You've achieved something here, beyond our mortal fascinations. I just wish I could have been in the room. Bravo!
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Amazingly played, You're wonderfully talented.
Brought me to tears was very inspiring well played the one above all has blessed you indeed 😀
So good, love the mini fugue in the Prelude, one of my favorite works by Bach. You play it very well sir, love the tempo selection and pacing
That is beautiful, thank you. Outstanding production quality also.
That is so kind. Thank you for watching!
Fantastic! The best 996 on YT. I love that Giga, and the Courante.

I've known Bouree for a while and working on Giga. I really enjoyed your interpretation. I'll have to take notes ha
Una ejecución impecable Adám felicidades 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm very late to this party, so I'll just second what everyone else has said: great music, beautifully rendered.
Brilliant performance!
Great guitarist! I love these suites for lute
I'm impressed that this managed to calm me down drastically, I woke up angry as all hell from a stupid dream, I can't even tell you how much this music helps
Such a soulful performance. A real pleasure to watch.
I've never truly heard this until now. Convincingly performed.
Makes me want to order the sheet music and learn it.
Nice tone and interpretation! Also very delighting to hear you play the allemande in a more moderate tempo, most people play that movement way to fast :)
Bach était un génie merci pour votre interprétation maître j’aime tellement cette musique 🎶 magnifique 😢😂❤
Congratulations! thanks for sharing this!
This is so good performance!
BRAVO!!! thank you for posting!!!

Ive never hear this Giga. Its amazing! I will try to work it out but these are always very busy hahaha
Thanks very much for posting - great reading. I enjoyed very much.
Flawless performance. : )

Muy buena interpretación. Felicitaciones
Clean music,i thinkit's wonderful.

Excellent, thanks

It gets better with time though
Great play!
Totally awesome!
Bravo
sound is great
bach is one
Sounds awesome.
Wonderful played... and how many sound diffusers!
Es hermoso estas canciones
The voices sound so distinct. Unbelievable.
That's a really nice compliment. Thank you!
Killed it! Great job.
Excelente!!! Me gustó el tempo que tienes, y que no haces las cosas rápido porque sí...
Gracias!!!
Mesmerizing...
Bellissimo
Well done. Thanks.
Really nice guitar
Indeed. All compliments of the instrument go to @modernluthier aka Marshall Bruné!
Watching your video inspired me to make a piano/harpsichord version of the Allemande : )
Thanks for watching! While we don't have an original source of this music in Bach's hand, one of the surviving primary sources (copied by another) is inscribed with the subtitle: "aufs Lauten Werck", a reference to a funky keyboard instrument invented in 1718 that's a kind of mash-up of a lute and harpsichord.

@@RaindropCantabile Cool. I feel I should add-given your username-that I once arranged Op. 28 no. 15 for my guitar ensemble. 😜
@@adamroth75 That’s amazing! I’m sure it sounds very nice on the guitar too.
So nice! Schöön! Danke! *vor sich hin lächel,gaaanz ruhig werd* Thank you.....
Magnificent!
The greatest song in the world as I'm sure tenacious d would agree
I don't know, man… I heard them play the best song in the world and it didn't sound like this… of course, that was just a tribute.
wooooooooooooooow
Excellent
Thanks, Karlos. Bach did all the hard work. :)
Thankyou .
My dream to be able to play this someday
Well, the journey is a joy, and there's no limit to the improvement we can attain via hard work, creativity and imagination. Good luck! Thanks for watching!
Wow he can make a mistake :D . Nice playing man absolutely stunning.
Détail : La "Cournate" est sans doute une "Courante". Son magnifique et exécution limpide, c'est l'essentiel.
Merci beaucoup!
Wow, amazing playing. After several years of trying, I still haven’t managed to master the prelude or the bourree. Keep trying.....
Thanks so much! I've never mastered *anything*. Always keep trying!
Buenísimo
Great! You're awesome!
Can you share the sheet music of this suite?
