I've had the great pleasure and honour to welcome Enno Voorhorst to our little chapel in Velp (province of Noord-Brabant, Netherlands) for a guitar recital some years ago. He is one of the kindest men I've ever met. Of course the recital was a complete success, and he played the Händel Chaconne too. What more could anyone wish for? Thank you again Mr. Voorhorst, all the best to you.
Enno Voorhorst, by far one of my favorite classical guitarists and definitely one of the best in the world. I fell in love with his expressive, dynamic, crisp playing style the first time I heard him playing his own Bach transcriptions years ago. His arrangements and renditions are always stunning, beautifully articulated, and completely unfettered by any technical limitation.
I couldnt hold my tears past the minute, in this modern world we give culture for granted, the truth is, best of what humanity could achieve with a caring passion of dedication and perseverance: is this. Art. At its finest results.
There's a reason there are like no videos of people playing Chaconnes under the age of like 40, it takes years and years of practice to do something like this
@Barristan Selmy This is an extremely difficult piece to play solo right through without a mistake for even the best guitarists. Live concerts do not exact the same virtuosity as recordings, in that recordings are unforgiving and it's possible this one may been edited. Listen carefully to the recording quality (different from expressive tone) before 3:10 and after, and then same at 4:19. It suggests to me the section between 3:10 and 4:19 was added sometime after the rest of the piece was recorded with slightly different recording parameters. Nonetheless, Enno's expression, delivery and virtuosity are absolutely amazing, doing great justice to this genius of a work by Handel.
This is truly wonderful playing. Also, anyone who doubts that Ramirez are still among the greatest guitars in the world should listen to this performance. It is exquisite.
When I first heard this, my first thoughts were “How poetic and utterly relaxed!” I still feel that. But then I realized how much is due to his work as arranger, making clearer distinctions between melody and accompaniment, changing a lot of the phrasing, and considerably altering the end to remove all the keyboard bravura and replacing it by the lovely reminiscence of the quiet opening.
I've been playing the guitar for about 14 years, and I've seen many great guitarists, but the cleanness and accuracy merged with a touch of classical soul in this wonderful piece is just on another league! CZcams's algorithm gives me satisfaction, sometimes!
When I heard this Händel masterpiece, long, long time ago, with Ida Presti & Alexander Lagoya, I've listening very often. To play it in a solo guitar is probably one of the most difficult works. Enno did an incredible performance like nobody else. He plays Bach´s Ciaccona in perfect way too.
I don’t have words to express my most deepest feelings when I hear this incredible work. I hardly can hear without tears in my eyes . Marvelous arrangement, thank you
With this playing the definite version has been presented here! Simply great and not only in technical aspect! The different lines in this piece are played so clear that an analysis of this piece for students should start here.
Masterful and magnificent in every respect. Both the arrangement and performance are impressive. The ornamentation is exemplary. This makes no apology to the harpsichord.
I'm only 20 seconds in deciding to type this out to already tell you that you've knocked my socks off with this absolutely sublime playing. Not every day you see someone with this much skill on a guitar, bravo to you!! Nailed it from a musical point of view as well, using extremely good technique only when required and not overdoing the piece in any parts at all, well done again
@@barristanselmy2758 Interesting that Segovia always pops up in the "who's best" discussions. He was first, in modern times. Though had Ida Presti been a man she would have been more famous than S. I could easily count 100 guitarists "better" than S, playing more even, with a more developed tone and last but not least with a broader take on music. Take Zoran Dukic as an example, Segovia couldn't hold a candle to him in any sense but being first. Enno Voorst could be one of my 100 guitarists, he plays the Chaconne here well enough anyway.
@@simonshusse In 1968 when I was first learning guitar on KQED Tv Los Angeles with Fredrick Noad , there were really not that many masters around! I always divide the musicians from the players.........I was a Segovia copy cat! 😁
I made my earlier remark before completing to listen to the entire piece. I just finished it, and you are one of the most musical players I've ever heard. You make Handel sound like Scriabin. Simply the best!!
The trills are like optical/audio illusions. CZcams is the veins to which I can feel the blood of the world beating in my heart. Getting to hear and see all these great minds sending their electrical creations from the fingertips to my ears and into my memories is reason to live a thousand years. I've a new neural network with a no vacancy sign for the storage of this piece! Excellent and thank you!
Linda interpretação, quando ouvi, mandei imediatamente um e mail para o Eno Voosrhorst, perguntando como adquirir uma cópia do seu arranjo, para minha surpresa ele me mandou uma cópia, de seu uso pessoal, grande camarada, sou muito agradecido!
Gitarrespiel in höchster Vollendung!!! Chapeau und Kniefall vor diesem großen Künstler! Unfassbar grandiose Technik, blitzsauber, intelligent und gefühlvoll interpretiert mit einem Traumklang!!!!
Wow, you are so good, and one of the best guitarists I've ever heard. Very musical and you have some mad skills and technique. Your attacks and releases are so exact and beautiful. Awesome tone too. You truly have the gift . . . .
_Oh my great stars! Enno plays a 1961 Jose Ramirez! My Ramirez was a 1965 I picked up in Los Angeles for less than $300.00 around 1968!_ _I hope one day that GOD will give me back the best things in my life that were destroyed or lost! GOD bless Enno _*_BEAUTIFUL!_* 😇

This video is the most under rated video on you tube. How this doesnt have 200million views is beyond my comprehesion of understanding.
I cannot imagine how anyone could possibly get closer to what the composer had in mind - in all likelihood. This sounds so logical and natural.
I’ve watched this at least 30 times ..And it’s remarkable! Sublime ..This will never get old ~Bravo
Me too.. Almost 50 times by now
@@alexandreluizalves Me too, I'm addicted to this version.

Just how in the hell did this man complete this entire Chaconne without making a single mistake. What have i just witnessed. What is happening?

@@stickfijibugs Yes, I think you are correct.
He and David Russell...
@@PacdemonStudios1 your comment makes me feel good. but i bet leonora spangenberger could nail this if she wanted to lol
Handel would be glad to hear this!
Sure!
I agree! I have a feeling Handel would definitely approve of this performance!
I have a funny feeling that Handel would absolutely approve of this.
This is truly wonderful playing. Also, anyone who doubts that Ramirez are still among the greatest guitars in the world should listen to this performance. It is exquisite.
My favorite classical guitar video of all time.
Ohh Handel would absolutely love this. Virtuoso master.

Master performance
How wonderful this guitar sounds, like a piano
meglio di un pianoforte!
What a great sound.

Truly remarkable a great work of Händel's genius superbly interpreted, a big thank you for sharing
A marvel a thousand bravos.
Great performance on a José Ramirez-guitar. Thank you Enno!
This is probably one of the standards of sound of Baroque music.
Perfectly!
Thank you.
¡Gracias por una interpretacion tan delicada y emotiva, dotada de una delicadisima diferenciacion de las voces y adornos tan perfectamente logrados!
Masterful and magnificent in every respect. Both the arrangement and performance are impressive. The ornamentation is exemplary. This makes no apology to the harpsichord.
Quando ascolto questo brano ho un senso di gioia e di commozione. Grazie Maestro Enno Voorhorst.
Peça magistral, com interpretação riquíssima!

I was stunned amazed! Outstanding!
Grande Maestro que deleite de musica y ejecucion .
Bravo.Bravooo
Best classical guitar player ever (and I mean ever) on the Tube along with Dylla.
Yeah. I think you're forgetting the Master. A one Mr. Andreas Segovia. :0 :)
Bream for me

My heart is gladdened by the meteoric rise of classical guitar's popularity and it level of proficiency and achievement.
I've never even heard this piece until now, and I would say it's absolutely perfect.... I wonder has anyone played this piece before they turned 40...
A great performance ... thank you ... !!!
wow! really great!
Amazing performance! It would be a great gift to the world if you published the score.
Superbe!
Merci Mr !!
The dynamic balance of the pitches is so fine.
Su técnica es impecable. Pareciera que ni siquiera mueve los dedos para producir tan delicados y asombrosos sonidos.
