I want to thank everybody who takes the time to write something about my playing and Bach's music. Most of the comments are really touching and show a deep understanding of feelings, phrasing and style; some of them, like the one of Bert Carter, touch levels of communication that are maybe possible to be reached only through music. My most sincere thanks to you all for your sensitivity!

J.S. Bachs music always feels so devotional, a glory to God. That is the mood you set with your playing
@lachi1905Ай бұрын
Yes, he himself wrote that "the final cause of all music [...] should be nothing more than just the glory of God and recreation of the mind". And I'm very glad that, despite me being atheist, this foundamental aspect of his music came through

The KZfaq algorithm appeared to recommend the personification of perfection this evening. I am no musical expert, but sir, your playing was so moving. Your fingers gracefully fluttered across and plucked the instrument with such elegant poise and assurance. The sound you created from this lute, written by Bach, was such a wonderfully nuanced experience. Grazie signore.

@prependedprepended66069 жыл бұрын
Just a suggestion, if you haven't already purchased a lute. There are 11 string altoguitars that are easier to tune (tuning gears not pegs), restringing (lutes must be strung carefully to avoid strings resting on more than one tuning peg and accessing the peg holes), frets (mobile gut frets versus stable metal frets), and for the same amount of money, you'll get a better guitar that comparitive lute. Something to think about. Oh, and alto guitars have shorter string lengths, just like their lute cousins, if that is a plus for you.

I'm glad you like it! .the problem of "being authentic" is pretty complicated, here just a few lines: You shoundn't make the mistake (as many do) of considering the authenticity of the instrument as relevant, forgetting what the word itself - "instrument" - means: something we use to reach a goal - and not the goal itself (when you eat you don't enjoy the fork, don't you? You serch for the cutlery which is more suitable to your meal, but you still enjoy the food...). It's a matter of style.

I asked Oscar Castro-Neves to watch/listen to this, and now he's acquired the Koonce transcriptions of the lute suites for guitar, having been completely taken by Maestro Contini's performance. I was first acquainted with BWV998 through the Koonce edition and now I return to it, inspired by the tears brought by these performances.
