This recording is, to simply put, one of the greatest achievements on the guitar, ever.

Most humans aren't as eloquent and free-flowing with their spoken word as this guy is with his fingers. By far my favorite arrangement on KZfaq, anyway. Just absolute insanity.

Insanely good. Don’t typically comment on anything but could not resist. Artistry truly phenomenal.

Damn, the clarity and articulation of those 32nd notes at 3:22 is seriously impressive!

It would seem that Bach's Chacone in D minor was meant to be played by Moran Wasser on this 11 string guitar. This is just perfect.

Played on the guitar is richer than any other instrument and here we have one of the best ever performances.

I was really stoney last night and fell asleep listening to this. Only to be violently awakened by rings of saturn. Bravo

Aside from the extra depth of the interpretation because of the low basses, I absolutely love the ornamentation in this one! It's original and perfectly placed through the piece. I also adore the sound, even sounding like a harpsichord at some point. For my taste this is the best interpretation I have listened to so far

First view and listen to a 11 string except when one of my strings broke on my 12 string...that 12 never sounded as beautiful as your 11 string. Awesome skills talents. Gifts from God plus years of hard work practice study discipline sacrifices ... BEAUTIFUL...

I keep coming back to this... simply out of this world.

I think Bach would appreciate this very much. Such a consumate performer playing such a renowned composers music. Very beautiful.

I've never heard such a meaningful interpretation of this 'tour de force' of any instrument, not to mention the guitar. Congratulations Moran!👍❤️🎼🎵🎶🎸

I love Bach, and I love the Partita that this is based on. But I can’t get over what a profound and meaningful interpretation this is. It is simply the best guitar interpretation of Bach that I have ever heard. If I have a bad day, I fire up KZfaq and I listen to this before I go to bed. It restores my soul. Wasser’s interpretation is amazing, the playing is faultless, the overall experience is transcendental. I agree with the comment below: if we ever needed to prove to an alien race that humanity, at some point in its history, was worth something, this would be Exhibit One. Bach wasn’t just the best, he was on a different plane; and Moran Wasser manages to convey it to the listening world. Thank you.

The sublime portion from 4:04” !! The control from 7:00” onwards!! The beauty of the integral whole piece!! The bass and dialogues from 7:51 !! I am speechless. I thought piano versions could. It be topped. I still prefer this on piano, but you gained not only my respect but my sincere admiration. JSB rejoices in Heaven listening to you at 9:10, for example.

Nothing but love !!! So beautifully well played I cried uncontrollably!! Thank you !! Bless you so much !!!

I've listened to dozens of guitartists play the Chaconne. Most interpretations are basically the same - in the style of Segovia. This one got my attention. This is new, original and refreshing performance of perhaps the most perfect single piece of music ever written.

I am baffled how anyone could thumbs down this performance.

Very well done Mr. Wasser. This was absolutely beautiful and technically very-very clean sir. Thank you for giving a masterful performance sir, I really enjoyed this maestro. Be well sir.

J.S.Bach is the greatest musician who ever lived and you have just rendered justice to his genius.

Absolutely wonderful. I love this recording, and I have heard so many of them. This stands out from the crowd.

Not one of my best Chaconne, but the best of the best! Stunning..., His masterful left hand fingers don'ts lose any one note, firmly pressing the strings onto the fret, which leads to clearer sounds than any other's. His right-hand fingers' touch is no less powerful than delicate. Thumbs Up. Applauds from all my heart.

Stunning. I can't get over how gorgeous his intonation is. The perfect intervals are just, and the rest are tuned to serve the music. Wonderful performance

I've listened too many performances of this masterpiece, I've seen this piece been playing alive, I've watched several videos, but to me, still is the best performance ever, this virtuosos is beyond words. What a gift. Thanks.

simply amazing! I have been performing for over 20 years never head of this guy-what a musician!

Such an incredible work of music. Mr. Brahms was spot on when he mentioned that conceiving such a work would be at the expense of ones own sanity. So much beauty, I struggle to grasp how such a thing is possible. This has been one of my favorite pieces since I first heard it some 18 years ago.

Bach's masterpiece + your superb interpretation = pure perfection.

I own a 10-string, so I can appreciate what he's got going on. He's making use of all strings, which is always nice to see from a multi-string player. He's tuned a half-step low (C# instead of D). The lower pitch seems to give his 11-string more depth and presence. I must say I like the effect. And yet he has a capo on the 2nd fret! Which means, with his tuning, the E string would be a D, the A string a G, the D string a B, the G an F, the B an A and the high E a D. But why capo? Shorter effective scale making some of the more severe stretches easier? His arrangement and expression are outstanding. One of the best versions of the Chaconne I've ever heard.

Never have I ever heard Chaconne played like this. Moran, you actually make this piece very exciting!👏👏👏

Words can't describe how awe-inspiring it is listening to such genius.

Man, I always thought Yamashita's performance of this in Toronto was the best Chaconne ever on the guitar. But, this performance is hands down the most amazing ever. The speed, control, fluency, and precision. Simply superb.

He has the most difficult guitar repertoire and plays them all with such ease. How is it possible to memorize all that? So extraordinary.

Hey man, you rock. Twenty years ago I remember listening to Segovia's version as a teenager at full volume with headphones on and instinctively headbanging at the onset of the arpeggiated minor melody. Sealed a life-long love of Bach. Thank you for your devotion to the guitar.

Beautiful. Well done, sir. 3:20 ....I've NEVER heard that passage played with such precision and vigor. Ever. I've heard them all too. This performance brought me to tears.

The height of technical skill and musical expression. Exceptional performance.

Moran Wasser is one of the greatest guitar players of our century. All his performances on baroque repertoire has a fluent and idiomatic pronounce. This is the best interpretation of Bach´s Chaconne i´ve ever heard on the guitar! Bravo!

I cannot with words do such justice to this performance as the performance does to the music. A rare gift it is that makes such playing possible. Exquisite.

Absolutamente fantástico! A versão de Wasser para guitarra de 11 cordas, dada sua amplitude cromática, proporcionou uma riqueza de harmonia jamais vista em qualquer outra versão da Chaconne. Uma verdadeira evolução da guitarra. Interpretação e execução técnica impecável. BRAVO !

It's the best guitar interpretation of Bach's Chaconne I've ever heard!

Truly truly outstanding musicianship, on a fabulous instrument! Subscribed!!!! JSB, the greatest achievement in the history of music!!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤣

Beautiful and amazing treble and bass. The Moran he plays, the Wasser he gets.

Magnificent instrument and extraordinary artist. Nothing like Bach played so excellently!

Moran Wasser is a very genious, the best interpretation of Chaconne in guitar in all the times!!!

Stunning and phenomenal interpretation. I really don't like too many strings but i begin to like it now. And for those who gave a thumbs down...Pride will not make anyone a better player.

I'm having goosebumps starting from my shoulders and neck down to my calves since the first notes ...

Everything about this performance is so extraordinary, it is beyond all reasonable or legitimate criticism.

When an anamazing instrument and an amazing performer are melted together to play a masterpiece of the music - Bach's Chaconne - then this is the outcome.... Divine!!!

Oeuvre magistrale magistralement exécutée sur une guitare qui s'affranchit de certaines limites inhérentes à la six cordes. Un nouvel élan est donné à cet instrument si polyvalent qui a su s'adapter et conquérir de nouveaux territoires musicaux. Bravo !

Such grace and execution of technique is beyond any descriptions. All I can say is Thank You for being alive, and donating this vision from your head, heart, and hands.

Here comes someone I never heard of and produces the best version ever of this fantastic piece of music, amacing!

Without any doubt, absolutely the best performance of the Chacconne I have ever heard! Thanks!

Words are not enough to describe his performance. I’ve only started listening today and immediately subscribed! Thank you for the quality!

Astonishing gift for an astonishing composition. Will watch this again and again.

It's the best guitar transcription of Bach's Chaconne! Bravo! Thank you!

This brought tears to my eyes such dedication, such mastery of a beautiful instrument and the best interpretation of this my favourite piece of music. A God given gift that is wonderful to behold..

Stunning! Superb! Amazing performance. Wow!

Such a harsh world we live in. An excellent performance of the Chaconne by an excellent player and I read criticisms and remarks of what's better and who's not!? Really? Maybe critics should spend more time developing and less time criticizing?

I totally enjoyed that. Thank you very much. Beautifully done.

Greatest piece of music ever written. True to Bach to my ears- playing, arrangement, and the dedication you put into it. Beautiful video and camera work. Bravo.

This is heartbreakingly beautiful

I keep listening and over again. This has to be the most complete realisation of music ever attempted and succeeded. Nothing else compares

I can hear the eternally unfolding mystery of humanity beaming through history through the struggle of reformation and revolution. So beautiful.

Amazing. Looks like a new Goran Sollscher. Most impressive approach to Bach I've ever heard in the guitar world.

Of course Johann Sebastien's music can be played on anything. It is pure and absolute Music that transcends all instrumentation - but this young guy has rendered Bach's heart and soul on strings.

The dexterity and precision are just impeccable.

BRAVO... I would say this is the exact opposite of Busoni's arrangement for piano in terms of character, in other words, yet another beautiful dimension of this infinite piece of music. My biggest respect for this interpretation.

I know that tone is in the hands but this instrument sounds gorgeous even with open notes. Beautiful playing and a beautiful instrument. More people should see this.

Yes! So this is how the Chaconne should sound. The bass strings realize the full throat of the organ. The embellishments are so called for, so appropriate. Wonderful! Thank you.

Clear, even tempo, cantabile, not rushed nor forced. Very well done.

This performance was mind-blowing, I have no words to describe how I'm feeling now. Awesome

Wow, I believe that is the best version of this piece I have ever heard on the guitar. Your playing is so moving and your guitar sounds fantastic. What an achievement. Congratulations.

This indeed is a wonderful thing to hear and see. Thank you.

Sublime. Perhaps the best interpretation of this piece I have heard. Thank you.

I'm a musician, ancient guitar player, but I feel painful to read some of these comments. Every one has it's own sensitivity. His is not mine, but what a great way to defend his approach. I should say perfect, even brillant. I played a lot this Chaconne, I love it, a 13 min of written improvisation, a full image of Bach genius. I love a more singing way, some deepness here and there but... this is my expectation. We are all different, and we should remain so. I'm always curious about other ways, other sensitivity. It shows me so many other side I ignore.... Thank you for such a great work.

This young man does not play the guitar with his hands, but with his heart.

This is unbelievably spectacular. The Master himself must be pleased. Congratulations!

Astonishing (again). Although I've commented before, this performance deserves to be heard many, many times - & recommended to all one's friends, & to any strangers, human or alien...

O violão de onze cordas deu à essa obra prima de Bach um colorido que o violão clássico não pode dar devido a suas limitações de recursos e a interpretação de Moran Wasser é irretocável. É muito difícil ouvi-la só uma vez. Bravo Moran!

Wow! That Deep Sound. I Never heard or saw one of these!! Amazing!

What a crime to an add in the middle of this amazing music and outstanding playing.

I just love what you do with that last scale...! Beautiful performance ll round...just stunning

magnifique très belle interprétation. ...bravo

This has got to be the most overlooked interpretation around

This is remarkable...... thanks for sharing - and wonderful work, Moran

Those extra bass strings really bring out the full richness of the harmony. Beautifully interpreted.

Absolutely beautiful.. congratulations Huge thank you to Master Bach too Just wow..thank you

"makes my classical guitar look like a mini soprano ukulele missing some strings...

Wow. Astonishing playing. I love all the cross string stuff. Very original interpretation. Beautiful. Thanks.

THIS is my favorite conversion from Violin to Guitar and this was absolutely amazing. I tried for almost 8 months to play this piece and could only get like 40% of it technically down ....amazing

Bravo ! Bravo ! Très belle interprétation avec beaucoup d'émotions.... Que Dieu vous bénisse !

Thanks for your interpretation of this deep piece. My favorite one. Tears in my eyes while listening. (The fast scales in the minor section are, in my humble opinion, played as they should be: for the first time; i don't hear staccato and notes played in a flamenco way).

I can't believe what I just witnessed. There are no words...

When you hear musicians like this play this complicated, incredibly beautiful work it grows and grows on you. If you love it too, I can recommend John Feeley's performance on the 6 string guitar as well. A different performance by another superb musician. I shall continue to tune in to both of them whenever I need another shot of Bach. We are so lucky!

Absolutely incredible interpretation!

¡ Espectacular interpretación!

Love the sound of a 11 string guitar with en excellent performer. Fantastic resonance with extra bass strings. Beautiful arrangement.

One of the best Interpretations I ever heard played on the Guitar!Bravo!!

Really wonderful work

Que impresionante presencia la de esta guitarra , con un timbre espléndido , y el interprete también es notable . Felicitaciones .

Absolutely stunning performance!

The Essence of Musical emotion ! Far from the pathos and commercial shows of famous "experts" on the great medias, MONSIEUR Wasser you bring us on the desert island enjoying without limits the simple perfection of your divine interpretation . THANK YOU !!!!
