Amazing. Her zest for music is apparent in the way she describes how she adapted the piece for guitar. Lovely.

I think Bach would weep with joy if he could hear this.

Bach weeps

I love this piece, but I love everything that Xuefei plays. She well deserves being called one of the best classical guitarists in the world. Xuefei, this brings tears to my eyes.

In 1974 Laurindo Almeida recorded the Air inside his LP "Bach is beautiful", that I bought by chance. I fell in love with Bach and that Air was among my preferred pieces. Since then I listened to many, many versions of it, but no one was even close to him. Until now. Impressive. Bach is easy and is not easy to play: you need rigour and passion at the same time. Yang plays it perfectly, but maybe the word 'perfect' is even demeaning her performance. Technically gorgeous but also full of feelings, almost touching the heavens. Mystical. Usually this kind of interpretation happens when an artist is more mature, much further in the years; amazing that Yang can play like this at her young age. And she looks even very brilliant in mind and attractive in her body!

Like Pat Metheny said "We all suck compared to Bach". Xuefei Yang brings out the beauty of this piece as only she can do. It is very emotional to hear such beauty in a currently ugly World.

Glad you enjoyed the video! She is amazing.

This is by far the best interpretation of this beautiful piece on the guitar I've ever heard!

Just so beautifully played 🎶

Absolutely brilliant! Her heart does sing in every string.

Best Air on G with classical guitar ever. Calling it.

I've played classical (and other styles of) guitar for 40 years, this is the best version of this piece I've ever heard. Mastery of the instrument, she is wonderful.

She plays the complete composition (with all the parts!!!!!)

Wow...the best classical guitar version of this work...wow!

Without a doubt, the best transcription of this piece to guitar that I've ever heard. Absolutely beautiful.

My goodness that is beautiful...thank you

WGBH Music, would it be possible to buy a transcription of Xuefei's wonderful arrangement for the education of my Ten year old son, as he has fallen in love with Xuefei's arrangement and he just loves this particular tune in general.

Que belleza de canciòn.

Beautiful mrs.yang, such talent! I know this song on guitar but I believe I play it in a different key and it doesn't sound as "full" as your trascription.do you have any tips for me? I would like to play and understand the guitar as well as u have one day! Thank you and keep playing, it's nice to see people preserving this wonderful art and genre of music.thumbs up!!

Thanks for the wonderful comment!

Exquisita interpretacion, como siempre

Does anyone know where to buy this beautiful arrangement?

Una genia la china, admirable la inteligencia que tiene siempre para hacer las transcripciones. Y de bach qué decir, una de las mentes más poderosas que dio la humanidad.

Brilliant artist. Thanks for sharing the vid with us; Jesus Christ Bless! :)

Well, said. Thanks for leaving a comment!

Thanx god for this amazing talent, keep it up sister :)

wow. does someone have got the tab??? she's really amazing... a pure moment of freedom...

50% Bravo/a! to Xuefei and 50% to JSB.

I really want to get the score of this piece!

After listening to Xuefei I now understand why so many people want to play the classical guitar.

Am I the only one looking for the transcription of this version?

霏霏给力!

Она имеет право играть такие произведения на гитаре. Её высочайший уровень владения инструментом это позволяет. А мы вновь заглянули за горизонт - в бесконечность Баха.

素晴らしい作品の素晴らしいパフォーマンス。 あなたの手のギターは歌います。

Conhece muito de música

اغشق الموسيقه الكلاسيكيه وخاصه الغيتار

wow, what an amazing woman x x x x x

Very nice interpretation and arrangement. Where can I purchase this music score? The one she plays, I mean. :) Thanks in advance. :)

Beautiful playing. I notice occasionally she hits muted notes. Is this something that was deliberate?

She and Andres Segovia can do legato on the guitar, like singing a long note. Very soothing. Very hard to do, indeed.

WGBH Music, do you happen to know what guitar she's playing for this performance? Thank you (for the video and any information)!

Albert Yeh same guitar she has always played,a Smallman-given to her by John Williams.I played a few notes myself on this very guitar years ago at one of her concerts.incredible instrument. Weighs a ton.Smallmans are very heavy guitars, but boy do they put out some sound.
