It’s a great pleasure to hear my former teacher once again! His personality shines through and his performance and unique interpretation could not be mistaken with anybody else. Bravo maestro!

I have completed a two hour study of the Bach Chaconne played on the guitar and my favorites were Christopher Parkening and of course Andres Segovia . I then stumbled upon this great guitarist that is new to me Joaquin Clerch . Want a great find . I have never heard of him before so now I have another project . What a performance. Perfect in every way . His technique is above reproach but his dynamics and verve transforms this to a higher level . An absolutely great performance and a difficult template for other guitarist . Just inspiring and perfect . Thank you Mr Clerch !

I've heard countless renditions of this piece, but this is the most creative by far. The ornamentations are so unique, but still fit in perfectly. Masterful.

Bach is a legend and the artist performed it in an excellent way. Excellent technic and nuance. Thanks for uploading.

Just wondering ... how is it possible that I never heard of this increduble guitarrist before? Amazing quality! Thanks for tonebase for bringing him to us.

Your rendition of this is so incredibly beautiful I have no words for it.

Speechless at this man talent

I've never heard for maestro Clerch before, but this is an interpretetion I will refer and get back to it. It was played so cleanly and intelligently.

Un gran Maestro con el que aprendí mucho! Gran interpretación llena de detalles interesantes y al mismo tiempo una línea larga.

This man gives us a glimpse of his soul through his music.

Estimado Maestro Clerch !!!! Que grandiosa alegría y felicidad me produces al regalarte a este universo en una manera tan equilibrada de conocimiento, pasión , emoción y entrega !!!! Es un gran regalo escucharte y ver tu grandeza tan amable y accesible . Escucharte es disfrutar de la infinita historia de la música y tu única manera de ser maravilloso !!!! Muchas gracias 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

What bass lines!!! My goodness! Brilliantly done on the great eulogy of the entire western corpus of music. You see 20th century - there was never anything wrong with tonal music.

That was superb!!! That was the best rendition of Chaconne I've ever heard!!!

Escuchar a Joaquín tocar Bach es sinónimo de éxtasis. Se puede apreciar el inmenso conocimiento de la época y el compositor en esta maravillosa interpretación. Gracias maestro por este regalo, te admiro y te quiero. Gabi.

Mi chiedo quanti al mondo possano suonare questo brano con una tale perfezione! Bravo!

Without doubt, the finest version I've heard with lovely, silky ornamentation. Thanks for sharing your art.

Merveilleuse interprétation sans aucune faute avec de nombreuses ornementations du grand art.

Wonderful version! He has a very deep knowdlege of technique, musicality and style! We hope to listen to more of him! I'm proud that I could be his pupil!

The best interpretation I ever heard from Chaconne. Thank you very much Mr. Clerch!

Una de las más bellas interpretaciones de esta Ciaconna de Bach ,llena de recursos técnicos y musicalidad 👏👏 Saludos desde 🇨🇱

What a pleasure it’s to listen to Bach on guitar!

Wow! That was awesome. It's often said in the world of classical music that, due to the prevalence of brilliant players these days, one really has to be bold with one's interpretation of much-played pieces such as this one in order to stand out. Well Joaquin has certainly done that. A very unique interpretation, loaded with character and bold choices, and beautifully played.

I'm lost for words! One of the most amazing renditions i've ever heard. Thank you, Joaquín Clerch.

Probably the cleanest performance I've ever seen! Bravo!

The teacher of the great masters of today! Outstanding performance by the Cuban virtuoso, kind regards to Mr. Clerch

Todo lo bueno que aprendí en este mundo de la música y en mi formación como ser humano, gran parte de ello se lo debo a mi maestro Joaquín Clerch, de las personas más impresionantes que he conocido en la vida, de esas que te marcan para siempre con su manera de imaginar el mundo. Gracias.

Grande grande Joaquín, muy feliz de escucharte así de increíble

Emozionante!!! Emozionante!!! Emozione pura!!! Meravigliosa interpretazione!!! Bravissimo Maestro!!! Grazie!!!

What a wonderful interpretation. Profoundly beautiful. Bravo!

Wow! What a stunning performance!

Beautifully played. Not just well, but with heartfelt dynamics. I felt it.

I will now begin watching this the first of hundreds of times I will end up watching this

Joaquin your performance is outstanding! I particularly liked your expression and execution of grace notes. Yours is one of the best interpretations of this challenging Bach piece for classical guitar. Bravo!

Impressive. It’s one of the fastest interpretations I’ve heard on guitar, yet cleanly played, and it does not sound rushed. Quite good. Thank you.

Hermosa interpretación. Muy emotiva. Gran maestría de Joaquín Clerch.

Jesucristo bentido..Howwwwly Jesus!! ...😲😳

Gracias, muchas gracias al canal por este gran regalo! Solo viendo el título y sin haber escuchado un segundo ya se sabe que la interpretación va a ser magistral. Un gran saludo al Maestro Joaquín.

A fine interpretation of one of the wonders of classical music.

La mejor versión que he oído en el mundo. Qué belleza y conocimiento. Abrazo Joaquín. ❤❤

Someone might think why this piece has been recorded many times. It's a very very hard piece to achieve this kind of level this man has achieved.

Amazing performance! Beautiful!

Absolutamente fantástica versión. Admiración, maestro Joaquín.

Love how Joaquin Clerch interpreted Bach's Chaconne

BRAVOOO!! MASTERFUL! He truely understood this piece. This is incredible. The way he just riffs away, adds new harmonies, plays around with the themes, adds a contrast tone... FLAWLESS technical playing as well. This. This is perfection. THANK YOU for this rendition! I've listened to pretty much every one on youtube and this is one of the only handful of pieces I still play on the guitar for almost 3 years now. And this is what I want it to sound like. The other performers did a great job as well, but this one definitely takes the cake! BRAVISSIMO MAESTRO!

OMG, it’s gorgeous sounds of ever!!!❤❤❤

Absolute master.

MAESTRO!! Gracias por compartir esta interpretación

Magistral. Un orgullo para nosotros los guitaristas cubanos. Joaquin es sin lugar a dudas uno de los mas grandes guitarristas de estos tiempos. Un video que queda para la historia. 👏👏👏👏.

Very passionate I love it.

Truly great interpretation maestro!!! Thank you!

Qué maravilla! Un regalo para el alma. Gracias, querido Joaquín!

Maravilloso su sonido, su interpretación, su autenticidad como musico y persona.

Such a beautiful interpretation! Thanks very much for sharing your performance!

Bravo 👏👏👏 Very clear and one of thr best versions of this piece that ever was played. You've made me feel it in my soul, thank you.

Wow...that was Brilliant....a true artist.... that's a gift from Heaven right there.

Grandioso Joaquín, en la zubia me distes una máster class y nunca aprendí tanto como contigo. BRAVO!!

beautiful. such a magical piece.

Bravo Maestro !

Bravo maestro, Bravo. This is a beautiful study that keeps delivering on mood, subject, Timbre, and all the trimmings. It leaves the world a better place by virtue of bringing truth, beauty, and meaning, to make existence worthwhile, which is the entire point. Bravo Maestro, Bravo. Nice sounding instrument also. Sounds like a Romanillious, but there are so many wonderful instruments these days, and you make yours sing. Ronnie Rugato

Rock on dude! You make your Guitar sing, literally.

Well played, great tone. Some of Bachs best melodic shifts in this one. Love it.

Very interesting interpretation and play. Wonderful!

a word of appreciation for the maker of this fine guitar would not go amiss ,Paco Santiago Marin of Granada Spain.

Simplemente Magistral!👏

Beautiful and guitar sound is perfect to my ear. One of Top3 Chaconne performance Bravo. And here with the most hardest playing instrument: Classical guitar. You can't cover your mistakes😂. Like I do with electric guitar...🎸😎.

Fantastica esecuzione. Bravissimo! 👏👏👏

I've been playing guitar for several years and I didn't know that it was possible to play fast passages on classical guitar with the thumb and index finger alternating. I don't remember seeing this anywhere else and it sounds great. 3:32 to 3:42 👌

The other performances of this piece have a strong sense of being guitar arrangements of the original violin piece, but this one feels like it was originally written for guitar. The ornament on this performance was meant to give the impression of a harpsichord, I think. It was a very impressive performance.

Amazing!

Amazing sound, a really beautiful gift. Bravo!!

Joaquín, meus parabéns!

Beautiful !

¡La mejor versión de la Chacona jamás grabada!

The sheer amount of sound that Joaquim is able to pull out of a 6 string is truly extraordinary. A delightful performance, full of life and energy. Very many thanks.

Wow, that was spectacular! Very impressive, very beautiful. Thanks!

Awesome and wonderful. 👏👏👏

Wau! Amazing, one of the best I've heard.

This is excellent.

Bravíssimo. Obrigado pela partilha.

Magistral👏👏👏👏👏👏.

Es una obra dificil ,mas que todo su interpreatcion, la he escuchado por grandes maestros ,la mejor version que he escuchado seria la del gran maestro Segovia. felicitaciones por esta version.

Bravo. 👏👏

Bravo, maestro!!!

Bravo, Maestro!!

At the 2013 Boston Guitar Festival, I took a masterclass from this amazing player. So musical, gentle, and intelligent he is! One of his suggestions was to play with the "other" side of your thumb nail. It gives more strength and, if done well, put less strain on the right hand. Try it 😊

Awesomely executed!!!❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

En hora buena maestro, grande interpretación. Bravo.

Great interpretation of this very difficult piece.!

BRAVOO !

I live everything specially this small guitar sounds so good

Excellent tone and musicality!

Magnificent

Wow!!! Stunning ! Superb! Phenomenal!

I listened to you upon the recommendation of a friend. I really liked your musical interpretation. I'm glad our paths crossed even if it's in the virtual world. I hope to have the opportunity to listen to you on stage live one day. Congratulations and I thanks for your sharing.

wonderful

Very excellent. We simply cannot bring this off on the violin as successfully as (some) guitarists can on the guitar. I sometimes curse my instrument for not having parallel strings in a falt plane... all to accommodate the bow. But the bow lets us sing! Argh: choices! Bach tortures the souls of violinists by giving us pieces which only guitarists can fully achieve.

BRAVISSIMOO!!!!!!

Bravissimo maestro!

Amazing beutifull performarce

Beautiful interpretation sir! :)
