When I need a prime example of how to play/sound, Jason Vieaux is there to inspire. Tone, tempo, musicality all there the way classical guitar should sound.

Far and away the most intelligent and musical performance of this piece. Apart from the breathtaking clarity and beautiful sound, Jason always makes sure Bach's PULSE keeps chugging along. Too many otherwise great guitarists play bach with too much rubato and lacking in basic pulse, which is the foundation of all Bach's output. What fantastic command of phrasing and separate lines Jason has. He is without doubt one of the greatest classical guitarists of the last century and is up there with the best of them.

this is probably one of the most impressive performances i've seen of this particular suite for the following reasons: 1. not too fast, not too slow 2. you can hear every note, except for a few in the beginning 3. he's not slobbering all over the place I can concentrate on the sound of the performance instead of the guitarist's finger movement

It has so much space

This is phenomenal. It's a real gem for those learning more about Bach and how I think is how it should be played.

this interpretation is my favorite .

Great interpretation. Before there was rock, there was Bach.

I’m lucky to have the cd with the entire suites, I’m listening to it for 15 years and can’t go back to it without a fresh discovering Is just wonderful, and Jason is making it sound absolutely beautiful Congratulations is quite an accomplishment

@Fagleboo Actually this is considered the 3rd Lute suite and it is essentially the same material as the 5th Cello suite, but interestingly enough, the Lute manuscript is in J.S. Bach's handwriting, and the Cello suite is in the handwriting of his wife(A. M. Bach) which likely means he wrote it for Lute first, as she was often his copyist. A little known fact.

He plays in a way that seems very natural for him. Unique compared to the whole of players. Inspiring us all to further develop. Thank you very much.

This is an amazing musician!!! As usual, great, Mr Vieaux!!

Très grande maîtrise dans l’interprétation merci pour le partage 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Very nice , really brings out the counterpoint. Also, not one single buzz or mistake a flawless performance . Great tone also.

Absolutely brilliant!

superb sound

I'm working on this suite right now. More inspiration! Great playing!

Wow...that was fabulous!

very impressive performance. awesome !

Sublime!!!

simply amazing !

Flawless.

great stuff. I saw him perform in Ft.Worth a couple years back.

beautiful

Excellent playing

BRAVO !!!

Incredible performance! I love the interpretation! so subtle yet deep... please ignore the ignorant comment like "you play like machine" or "it's boring", a lot of people nowadays are unfortunately used to lavish and greasy tastes and fail to comprehend subtlety...

You fucking idiot........

Superb.

The space between the notes also shows that he is preparing his right hand fingers, which helps him get that big sound.

Great perfomance!!!

Great sound.Guitars these days seem to be brighter and more dynamic.

Very, Very good!

Amazing

Lovely.

GREAT!!

bravo!

DIOS MIOOOOOOO!!!!! Es un angel!!!!

Браво !!

Bravissimo!

Belíssimo bravo!!!

hermoso sonido, no importa como lo consigue...buenísima versión!!

I love how he brought out the bass from 2:00 onwards.

How Romantic of her.

muy bueno. de primer nivel maestro.

Dí que sí. Yo estoy cansado de artistas circenses que mucho dedo pero que te dejan igual. De esos hay muchos pero la capacidad para sacar ese sonido y llegar al publico de Jason, pocos lo tienen y eso no se consigue así como así.

bravo:)

if you search for "werner icking bwv 995" and click the link from icking-music-archive and wait for the page to load up, you can search for bwv 995 and find this piece arranged for the guitar.

Hasta ahora entiendo este Preludio y Presto.

When it comes right down to it, Vera, Musicality trumps Technique. I reckon that if it was good enough for the jury that awarded him first prize in the GFA competition however many years back, then it's good enough for me.

Brilliant, and from one of the nicest guys you'd ever meet. Bravo Jason. Glad to see you're not still using those bright orange ping pong ball nails on your thumb.

@pasigenyo Thank you. I laughed out loud when I read the original comment.

Lo importante es hacer música y hacerlo bien.

i dont understand why this recieved so many negative votes.. This is the most perceptive critique I hate comments that dont help the musican but instead just boost his ego

@pasigenyo you have to look at the consequences, don't care about technique..excellent version!!

i wanna playing like FUCKING JASON VOX!

@GuitarOddysey I believe he is playing the Frank Koonce arrangements...

well i dont care for any negative comments i enjoyed what i listened to

does any one here knows what strings does he use and what's that guitar?

Playing it in A minor! Cheat! Lol. Its beautiful, well done!

I would love to obtain the sheet music...

Man, how do you get your spruce top to sound like this

Jason is great!! would like you guys to hear Jesus Maria Rodriguez version, and tell me what you think. Completely unknown but in my opinion a very good guitarist.

where can i get music/tabs for this?!

Just in case anyone is interested that's a spruce/cedar double top (sandwich top) Gernot Wagner guitar worth about 25gs. I can dream can't I?

wow what a big sound there!! guitar brand please?

interesting hair style

@CrabtreeGuitar couldnt have said it better myself :)

I have his Bach album. I think I may prefer it over Williams, Fernandez and Isbin. Great sounding guitar by the way! (Just needs a haircut! :))

Sure makes it easier with a small scale guitar that has a huge sound. . who made the guitar Tony Murray?

great sound even straight through the computeur; i wonder what guitar model and make it is ; anybody knows ?

Wagner guitars sell for between 20,000 and 30,000 dollars. My former teacher owned one.

This must be an arrangement of the 5th cello suite

@Fagleboo Bach's "arrangement" for lute...

btw, I've never heard of this artist before. I just stumbled on it and was struck by the musicality of the performance. And this bird-brain says his "right-hand technique is a bit off". Who do you think you're kidding?

Is this his own arrangement? I wonder if anyone knows of another equally good performance in the original key of G minor.

Just tune your guitar down a whole step, I usually have mine about 1/2 step down as a rule

Bach's wife was hot! And Bach's music is awesome!

Why did you skip the mordent on the first note?

He's got the best tone in the business, doesn't he? So rich and creamy. A real pleasure to listen to. I almost like him better than Goran sollscher. I don't know. It's a toss up. If I was stranded on a desert island ?......

what is his guitar??

How to keep two melodic lines interesting, all the possibilities of fingerings that you can come up with. If you analyze it you can learn a lot about harmony.

Your right. I should never see the thumb. Moving up the neck is harder and the tips of the fingers may not touch the fingerboard. My in guitar teacher would slap my hand to get it right. it did not feel good but i learned quickly.

Anyone know why he tends to play the bach over the sound hole, whereas others, particularly Williams and Sagovia, seem to play them slightly closer to the bridge; just a preference? And I noticed a fair bit of vibrato. Quite unconventional for baroque, no?

Rushed playing ,and the a notes sound much better played on the 4 th string 7th fret rather than on 3rd string 2nd fret

No rushing at all. I think you are confusing a good solid pulse with something else.

Not a bad performance His right hand technique is a bit off because he has a wierd habit of switching between free stroke and rest stroke at strange intervals which throws off the pulse and dynamics His left hand fingers have too much motion which means that he never learned Economy of motion

are u crazy?

And he needs a bigger guitar :-)

Tiene muy buen sonido y claridad, la verdad es muy buen guitarrista, aunque debo de decir que su tecnica en la mano derecha es algo pobre, lo cual es algo lamentabla. En los guitarristas jovenes se ha perdido lo que es la estetica en la manera de tocar. Lo esencial y primordial es el sonido, pero tambien es muy importante la manera en que uno se ve al tocar.

Very, very good. Only objection is that perhaps he uses too much vibrato in the first section.

You play as a machine! There are other things behind the scores!

Ah, I'd like if you made a video illustrating how this piece should be played instead.

Well, Jason is one my favorites guitar players. unfortunately he was "jailed" on readind the score, so his ability as interpreter was diminished and could not be free. It should be a lesson to all great guitarist's: never play reading the sheet. 'cause it will end all like this: no color , no contrats, non "brigth vs smooth" playing . pity!

Lol, talk about trolling... Nice little history you made up, but trust me, if you were a classical guitarrist you wouldn´t care about people staring at your thumb nail...

it hurts to listen to this version ... please put in a lot more emotions and dynamics.

@fingerhorn4

Nope. You are clearly too used to listening to other guitarists who ignore pulse and muck about with too much rubato. Bach faster movements need motion. There IS emotion there, but it is not sentimentalised or overdone. It is just right for Bach.

horrible guitar

horrible guitar good technique dude, get a play a Tacchi or Warmer guitar

And also wrong

You talk too much and your ''name'' is..... plain weird.
