You're a hero. Thank you. I'll never understand why people don't bother to put timestamps on very long videos with multiple movements.
Great idea, thanks!
saw mask, clicked back to carmignola. sorry/not sorry.
Love this violin version of Cello suites, your the only One so far those can play these pieces on violin spectacularly with clarity and excellent sound. I discovered you playing this live and I’m super excited that you’re playing the full suite again ... I tried practicing the prelude, which is favourite and I can say, it’s not easy to play as composed.
Beautiful - your interpretation of the 6th suite is like a burst of joy! Thank you.
Thank you for your performance!. Bravisimo!!!!
So beautiful Johnny. Nice way to start Bach's birthday!
Hats and masks off to you, spectacular!
Amazing interpretation, tone quality, technique and stamina. Listening to this makes me feel good all day long.
This is glorious playing. I feel a direct communication from Bach himself.
Merci pour ce moment de grâce, de beauté et de bonté
Thank you, that was beautiful
fantastic sound, interpretation, and memory....impressive
C'est tres belle! Merci!
Brilliant.
Great inspiration. I play these suites on guitar and have just begun to thinking about playing them on the violin.
The dance quality is perfect.
You deserve more views i like your bow holding style and your dancing
Simply brilliant. The opening to the Courante from Suite 1 (4:59) was inspirational!
Thanks! So well done and now a great resource. Only one I found...
Magnifique ,étonnant cette tenu d'archet.
Yess. Courante is always my favorite
Perfeito..
No shoulder rest= instant respect
Why?
@@SeilionMario shoulder rests are crutches that dampen the sound
@@Kevin-sq1hh having a tense left hand because you need to hold your violin will be the the price you pay if your neck is long
@@SeilionMario you can use supporting foams like zuckerman does
Finalement on dirait que c'est écrit pour le violon. Bravo!
❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing performance! Can I ask about your instrument and bow. Thanks, again
- thanks very much for watching and listening. The volin was made in 2009 by Sam Zygmuntowicz. The bow is by Mark Drehmann.
Thank you for your answer!!!!!
1:43:54 It'll be much better if you play this part with a lower tempo.
Btw, nice job!
Full range of emotions and subtleties this performance has...
Kind sir, wouldn't you happen to keep the scores for these intricate pieces ready at your hand and hath the mind for sharing them with -an enthusiast of Bach's music and admirer of your virtuosity- me?
Lol, sorry for the archaic language in the comment, I couldn't help but write it :D
These transcriptions aren't mine - you can find them on IMSLP. Thanks for listening.
I wander, what the mask might contribute to the sound production.
For anyone who may be interested, here's a video from a live performance in NYC (2023): czcams.com/video/2A_aQQtugTA/video.htmlfeature=shared
I'm looking for the 6th suite prelude, did you transcribe these yourself? if so is the sheet available anywhere?
4:59
29:33 no3
My dear, I commented on your chaconne and my comment was something Like: your Interpretation blew my mind, because the master Peace (ai have to say "master" by chaconne 😅), sounded so differently Like I would Play IT and I have heard it. Now, the same with these sonatas😘 and here I had an Idea what I would Like to share with you, to make my own yt chanel to Happen. It would be a pleasure for me, if we could talk about this Idea. Thank you a lot for your input 😘
Masha Allah ❤️🎻
Very beautiful! Would be even better without mask!
nah its quite amusing watching the subversives out themselves, so we know who they are going forward.
Playing music- Free Energy in slavish masc is misunderstanding . So sad...
Interesting position of your bow hold.
I think it's a baroque hold
travail très intéressant et réussi; on regrette cependant un peu l'ampleur et la présence physique du violoncelle
Very nice solo video really but it would be better to play without mask 😷 because there is nobody inside the room, may be just video recording person…
You got a nice face please show it
What's with the mask 🤣
Ce morceau n'est pas fait pour violon alors on ne le joue pad au violon
A mask? Why? Was going to listen until.I saw that.
Your loss.
whats with the mask
Nice covid virtue signalling mate
