I like the thick drama and depth of John Feeley's. I like the joy and serenity that is emanated from this performance. His guitar is singing. It sings life is good. Never heard such a singing version of this Chacconne.
The musicality of this performance is hard for me to imagine improving on. The control is superb. There may be different ways to approach this, but none better than this one.
It is clear (at least to me) they both (George and John) listened to Segovia. He didn't play legato and used lots of arpegios (also you would'nt think the piece is actuallly played in tripple time) but who cares? This is a very warm sound, very warm and, as John's interpretation, very, very enjoyabel!
Quando ero più giovane riuscivo a suonare tutta la ciaccona, con parecchie difficoltà e tanti errori, ma trascinato sempre dalla sua infinita bellezza. Questa interpretazione ci restituisce tutta la sua perfezione ed il suo mistero. Superbo. E tutto sotto i nostri occhi, in presa diretta! Tutte quelle corde lasciate vibrare con la durata scritta, quasi fosse facile facile, senza mai sporcare, senza rumori, senza macchie. Metterò questa interpretazione al mio secondo posto, dopo quella di Zelenka, con cui compete per perfezione. A chi non l'ha sentita suggerisco anche la versione del "Recuerdos" di Tarrega di Gulyas, un altra interpretazione capolavoro.
Estoy trabajando en esta monumental obra y buscando referencias en quien inspirarme para dar la mejor expresión posible y he descubierto tu interpretación, que en mi humilde opinión es una de las mejores, sino la mejor que he visto en Internet. Mis respetos Maestro. Me vas a ayudar mucho. Muchísimas gracias. Afrodisio
Love this rendition of the Chaconne! Also really like the one arranged by John Feeley. Look that one up as well. Very nicely done. I'd like to find the transcription of Georg's version of this.
BRAVO!! Your tone and phrasing is lovely. I love the way you play. Thank you for such a sensitive interpretation of this great work. Someday, I hope I can play the Chaconne, too. I'll keep practicing.... !
I wonder if Gulyas thinks he has more to learn about the guitar. Probably so. But it certainly seems that his mastery is complete. Musically, the drama of this performance--not to mention his technical prowess--make this the most powerful rendition of the Chaconne on guitar that I've heard.
Superb rendition: I can tell that, from the first bar, you have the rest of the piece in your mind and fingers. Similar to Barrueco's organic, albeit transcribed version and different (very much so) from the Romero flamenco version. I really enjoyed it.
Not that fast really, only a little bit faster than how Jascha Heifetz used to play this piece. Interesting background story though, I haven't heard it before.
this interpretation is so close to how I hear the piece. close to bream in the right parts but still more appreciating to the the time it was written in. I was a little underwhelmed by the finale though, felt a bit too rushed.
ich persönlich finde segovia's version ZU gefühlsbetont interpretiert - und das obwohl gerade ihm ja immer vorgeworfen wird, zu steril zu sein. ja, das stück entstand vor einem traurigen hintergrund aber wie du selbst schon richtig festgestellt hast handelt es sich um einen tanz. heifetz ist darauf auch eingegangen und hat sich deshalb gegen allzu viele verzögerungen und schnörkel ausgesprochen - und lass uns nicht vergessen, daß es bach ist. ich finde die klaren interpretationen passender.
i do respekt your work , but slow it down, this is orginally a dance and listen, bach is whritten that wonderfull piece when he came from a tour and saw that his whife was died one week ago. He screams shouts and was cry. Did you understand? the feeling is tragic for a long time to accept that process. watch andres segovias videos about his masterclass, he is also a genius as a teacher next to his magic^.

This is without doubt one of the best performances I have heard of the Chaconne.
Agree but also check out Nicola Hall too..
brings me to peace, at the same time tears, everytime. thank you so much

Outstanding performance in every way. Bravo.
very clean, awesome performance
I watched the entire video waiting for a flaw, I have to admit, this guy is top class. Absolutely perfect interpretation, williams/russell level.
Agree with the Williams/Russell comparison but check out NICOLA HALL..
One of the best I've heard, top guitarist

fantastic.....All is clear, the music is pure....the emotion is present....
Absolutely lovely. dynamics are subtle. Sensitive

Nice rythm, nice recording , perfect rendition.
Très très belle version de cette oeuvre monumentale! Bravo et respect Monsieur Gulyas!!! Merci infiniment...

Beautiful and inspiring. Now time to go learn at least some sections of this amazing piece.
Wonderful perfomance!

Wow, this is a great performance!
Solid, clean, great recording.
I have no words to express my feelings while listening to this.. absolute beaty.. great performance as well.. :) I love it
I have 1% faith in this story because it is EVERYTHING that is NOT Bach.
Phenomenal 👏👏
thank you for posting. this was great

EXCELENTE
*beauty.. darn.. couldn't even type right.. hehe..
His guitar is a magical bird stay on my windows that don’ t let me stand up.
You are a great player, Have you heard John Feeley, version

Is there a more complete statement in music than this? The Chaccone runs the gamut of all there is in the human drama.
