Just proves the point. Whenever a good musician performs Bach, it COMES TO LIFE and is timeless in its POWER !!

This is the best sounding 4" exhaust system that I've ever heard.

Giant round of applause not just for this excellent performance, but also for the man who invented this multiple-mallet technique.

So many things to appreciate here. The Marimba, the skill of the musician, the awesome soul-healing power of JS Bach.

Bach would be proud. Amazing!

Best phrasing and dynamics sensibility of any marimba performance I have seen. Whole new level. Thankyou.

I love hearing Bach’s work on different instruments. Each brings out something different in the piece. Thanks!

Only from the uniquely monumental mind of J S Bach could such sounds have ever been possible

Spot on. Tempo, expression, dynamics, balance, Bravo.

A timeless composition; played by a masterful musician, on a gorgeous instrument. I think we can all get with that.

As anyone who plays mallets (and memorizes a piece) can tell you, that feat took just... a couple of hours of practice. SUPER IMPRESSED!

My favorite Invention. Your rendition is pure joy.

I love the subleties in dynamics and articulation - beautiful! Thank you.

I really enjoyed that. The timbre is perfect for this piece,

There is this thing about J.S. Bach music, that NO MATTER what it is played on - be it a cellphone ringtone, a set of exhaust pipes, a church organ, set of human voices, even drums, really! no matter at all -- it is captivating all the same. Indeed this performance is amazing, except for just one 'fermata' that was over-done, It keeps the voices, and is so gentle and beautiful... but again. It's so hard to know who's to applaud here... J.S.Bach again, or the wonderful performer. Anyways... a big big LIKE - I loved this very much. Thanks.

🩷💖🎶Lovely! I hear this and remember my friend Helen, who played vibraphone in high school and college in the 40's, and loved this music all her long life.✨️ R.I.P. My Dear, and play yet again for Harvard Milk Days, evermore 🕊 💫🤍🩷🐄🐄

I have played this on piano and it's mind boggling how this gentleman could be so musical with 4 mallets. His phrasing is just amazing and lovely and I can't believe his touch using, again, 4 mallets. What a talent. Thank you!!

Wow ! Bel hommage à Bach; jouer l'Invention no 13 sur une invention !!!!!!

There's something so gentle about this wooden marvel. The Bach Invention (2 voice) has been beautifully rendered here. Full marks.

I haven't seen anything as impressive as this for some time

love those bass notes you just feel...amazing work, thanks

As a pianist this is one of my favorite pieces to play, the way the harmony seems to expand and contract is breath-taking. You took this very tricky piece with all its complex fingering and played it on MALLETS?! This performance must be applauded! The mysterious, echo-y sound of this instrument (pipe marimba?) makes it sound like an adventurous and stealthy video game theme.

Sheeets - This man is an absolute musical genius. What an exquisite rendition. I've had this on repeat about 20 times, observing and attempting to unravel how ingenuity works.

Are you convinced now that J.S. Bach was a musical genius? Justin just proved it with amazing mallet technique.

Original ! Jeu très élégant ❤❤❤

love the exhaust headers.. sounds great!

Dumnezeu este CREATORUL SUPREM. Pe noi ne-a creat, după chipul și asemănarea Lui. Noi, toți suntem martori, prin intermediul acestu-i videou, cum acest minunat tânăr a devenit un frumos procreator al lui Dumnezeu. Spune-ți, vă rog, nu este aceasta o minune ???

what is normally done with 10 fingers being done with 4 mallets is mind blowing!

Believe it or not....about 15 years ago I created an arrangement of this same piece and played on a synthesizer....and the sound tone I used was a Marimba. I also play pipe organ and electronic organs, accordion and digital accordion. I always thought that this Bach Invention #13 was the perfect Marimba piece. Looks like you agree ;-) Very well played and fine dynamics!

Wonderful playing and thanks again, JS.

Love it! Love Bach, love your sounds! Thank you!

i have to say, this was IMPRESSIVE!

Simply brilliant ! Playing in that polyphonic style is horrendously difficult . Well done .

Sounds magical on this instrument! Such impressive control of the dynamics too!

Being a utility percussionist in high school….and a rather decent pianist….this blew me away! Bravissimo!

I played the invention a minor on the piano and I was satisfied to play it correctly. But but this super performance on the marimba makes me happy and calms my soul.

I have always liked the music of Father Bach. This was an amazing performance on the Marimba no less.

I struggled like crazy with this piece on piano, and you make it look effortlessly. Beautiful!

Magnifique interprétation sur un instrument exceptionnel de sonorité (pour les basses !) et aussi d'esthétique . Merci l'artiste !

That was so beautiful.. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent. It really brightened up my day.♥😊🎵

I love the smooth sound of that instrument, the bass is awesome!

Massive respect, merci beaucoup.

Beautiful! And I love the color coordination of your shirt and the mallet heads! 💜

Sans partition...Tout dans la tête ! Quelle mémoire ! Bravo !

Excellent performance of some challenging music on that particular instrument!! Well done!!!

Beautiful sound, and intriguing to look at! SCORE!!!

Love that soft mellow baritone sound! Very soothing....

Genial...:!!!! Que bellos sonido, la ejecución excelente...gracias por compartir.

Very nicely done, the dynamics on your left hand are extraordinary!

I play this everyday on the piano so it’s amazing to hear you play it in a different instrument- nice tone- great technique to capture all the voices

Absolutely amazing. As a musician it has always floored me how you know the spacing on your mallets! I mean as a harpist I can feel the difference in finger spacing from arpeggios to a 6th or whatever the chord is. Can you feel the spacing in your hands? This sounded so beautiful very mesmerizing.

You put in a LOT of practice! So incredibly beautiful. Thank-you!

No words, so sweet, and technical... :)

Don't you just love these little accidental gems. Thank you. Perfect

This pressed all the happy buttons in my brain 😊

Merci beaucoup excellent !

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks for posting.

Impressive! My brain would never be able to direct my hands that well.

Love this one. Lovely to hear it with this beautiful timbre. 🙏

Wow. Just--wow.

This is incredible! When you go back to your home planet, please say “hello!” for us.

That is amazing! Beautifully played. I envy your talent.

Bach, on instruments other than intended, sounds just as wonderful. I wonder how today's so-called 'modern classics' would sound played on a marimba.

Unexpected and absolutely lovely. Many thanks.

Great music, a beautiful instrument and the dance needed to play it: thoroughly musical & entertaining!

😮 No words infront of such a magical performance. My admiration.

Wow! That was very soothing. Well done! 👏👏

Wow, giant instrument I had never seen before. Nice music & play.

que les puristes ne m'écoutent pas, et que Bach me le pardonne, mais je trouve cette interprétation plus jolie qu'avec un piano. Magnifique.

Good playing, and a lovely sound from that instrument.

I looked this up for piano and now I am more impressed seeing you play this. Very cool.

This is my favorite piece by Bach and you just made it better. Perfection

Master Bach (J.S.). Immer (wieder) berührend. Und grossartig gespielt, lässt den vollen Raum den wunderschönen Klängen. Was hätte der Meister selber gesagt, zu dieser - seiner - (ein Wahrer Meister hat immer auch Hilfe von "Oben") Musik, neu, modern...Ich empfinde ihn ganz einverstanden mit dieser "Neuaufnahme"...

Oh! how beautiful Inventio X3 it is. Yeah! I hear Pablo Casals said " Bach is the Treasure Box of Music" I quite agree with him veryvery much, and much more about your playing xylophone, especially turning conversation between with each the first motive is so graceful touch, I was moved so much. I wonder if Bach might have heard your xylophone, how should have said he? Yeah, anyway so nice natural touch playing that is on improvisation. I would feel where is p or where is f is oblivious of dynamics. that's depend on impulse which feels every day's irresistible. Yeah! (91yrs.Japanese) sorry strange English.

the most gifted musical milleped performing with refined nuances the deepest reflection of the European soul!

yessss. such a good marimba piece

Such a magical and mystical sound! In Bach's time there was no instrument like this, but I'm sure it would have fascinated him hearing his piece played on this instrument He might have been inspired to wright a piece just for it.

Beautiful invention and music!

Nicely done! I remember when Commodore used this in an ad for the C-64, and included it in one of the music software demos. Thanks. :)

Wow. Great tunes..More ♠♥

Excellent. I love this piece

That's amazing. I've never seen anything like this. And he makes it look so easy too !

Incredible! That was beautiful!

Perfectly lovely! Thank you…..I clicked just to hear what the instrument sounded like, but was unable to leave❤️😘

Whether you couldn't or chose not to, I'm so glad you played this song slower. It was way more relaxing to hear the notes in their entirety instead of bangin em out fast like a bunch of the pianists on YT who've played it.

Astonishing talent!

This brilliant sound is amazing !!

Wow the dynamics are just so insane and the clearity of the different voices

Amazing instrument, fantastic musician, divine music…… Bravo Bravo

That was beautiful. Thank you!

Your dexterity and precision with two mallets in each hand, especially with dynamics, is incredible.

This is very impressive. In complete awe

Amazing sound, beautiful instrument ❤️

I am sure JS would have been delighted to hear this rendering of his little tune! Beautiful sounds.

The open headers on that thing sounds amazing!

Beautiful! 👏👏👏 Congratulations and greetings from México 🇲🇽

I can’t even compute what is going on here in real time, it’s so smooth and effortless. Humans are amazing

A new twist on Bach and a beautiful one, at that.

Beautiful ❤…also, love the color coordinated shirt/mallets 😍

Magnific instrument // Wonderfull sound // Great musician !
