Those last bars got me. How can anyone not be moved by this.
Absolutely astounding piece & player. I love the guitar too. We need more world class guitarists to adopt extended range guitar. Even just 3 extra basses make an enormous difference. More from Petra please.
Stunning
_GOD bless Petra!_
After havong listened this performance several times, the tone, the performance, the interpretation is absolutely divine 👌👌👌
Wunderschöne, herzbrechende Musik, und eine Interpretation voller Gefühle. 💓🎸🎼
Wunderbar!!
sehr schöne alte Gitarrenklängen. super gespielt, bravo!
35K of these views have probably been mine. This is an astounding performance from start to finish, and I suspect I'll never tire of it. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Best performance of this piece I've ever heard. She does not play the piece - she lives it. Wonderful sounding guitar!
That guitar holds the balance so well between a lute sound and a classical guitar sound.
🔥🔥BEST WEISS TOMBEAU PLAYING
E V E R ! ! !🔥🔥
I love her utter surrender to the guitar every time she plays. Never a wandering thought or phrase.
Brilliant! Brava!
beautiful interpretation... 👌
This must be be the saddest piece in the whole classical guitar repertoire. This performance is incomparably great, aided by the 9-string guitar. Bravissima!
I wish I could like this performance a thousand times.
Beautiful music, breathtaking performance! The guitar is quite exceptional, too, with rich, deep tones, I absolutely love it!
Best performance I've heard of this piece, and that includes lute players too.
I agree - this performance is absolutely exquisite!
Absolutely wonderful musician. The best.
Wow...just, wow. Amazing playing.
Bellissimo suono e bellissimo fraseggio stilisticamente appropriato. Complimenti Petra
A breathtaking performance! which left me speechless. Thank you Petra for sharing .
This Tombeau is pure Weiss, and this performance of it is just amazing.
Gosh this is beautiful.
I'd love this heavenly piece to be played at my funeral.. 🥺
Admirable répertoire , interprète et instrument .
Beautifully played ! It's interesting to note that Petra plays the Chaconne from JS Bach on same instrument ; both pieces speaking all about death, and the connection in between Weiss and Bach being obviously very strong. On a particular passage, I wonder what it the symbolic meaning of these repeated notes ? not a "bourdon" but something more dramatic... Death knocking at the door ? In the second part of Bach's Chaconne, in D major, after a very tender passage in arpeggios, we hear something similar ; bass notes repeated, reintroducing tension leading toward the third movement. JS Bach was not lute player, he composed the partitas for the lute on a very weird instrument called "lautenwerk" with a keyboard (i.e. with usage of 10 fingers !!!! when we lutenists and guitarist have only 4 to produce notes ;-))... and Bach was very respectful of the talent of SL Weiss. Weiss is very underrated because he composed music only for the baroque lute. Thank You Petra !
Stunning performance, and gorgeous sound!
Wonderful played with wonderful sound !! Thank you for sharing. BRAVO !!
This is breathtaking! I have listened to her performances of Mertz and Ponce over and over again, and now I'll have to add this one to my list.
Bravo, Petra, the performance is really moving 👏👏👏👏
Weiss is one of my favorite composers simply because he is a melodious composer and that's what i like to listen to. besides, i really enjoy Petra Polackova's performance. She touches my heart so easily. Thanks for uploading.
bravo ! quelle présence dans l'interprétation !
Wonderful
Exquisite
My gosh, how good it is, invoking care and delicacy over God’s soundboard.
Some major props to Drew Henderson for knowing great acoustics and using them to achieve a flawless recording.
This was my first piece I learned when I got my 7 string classical! Awesome performance, beautiful guitar and especially beautiful tone. This is no doubt my favorite interpretation and performance of this piece. Keep up the superb work!
Bravissimo
Wonderful interpretation!
Very good useg 9-th string guitar!
I'm hooked on nine string guitars, but only if they're played by Ms Petra Polackova! Bravo, I shall search for more of her wonderful performances.
What a musician!
Osmose totale entre l'interprète et la musique! C'est tout simplement magnifique et rare!
Beautiful lady playing beautiful music. What more can one want?
Sublime Petra!
This is the most exquisite performance of this wonderful piece that I've ever heard! I hope the CD is still available:-)
Perfecta ella y perfecta la interpretación! Saludos desde Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Wonderful performace Petra . When I first played this piece I was enthralled by Weiss`s skill in composition.
Thank you for inspiring me to play it again.
bravo Petra!
Lovely basses! Reminds the archlute or theorbo. 😊
Very moving performance. Will keep this one on hand to listen to again and again.
Lo vuelvo a ver y es maravilloso, la profundidad del sonido, la interpretación, gracias Petra
Amazing guitarist
Here, she has to have the best tone I've heard in some 45 years of listening to guitar music. Most notable is the pure crescendo she achieves, made without sacrificing or changing the timbre of the basic notes. Usually such crescendo is more of a characteristic of a flesh attack rather than nails, nails all to often disintegrate into a cliched "naily" upper-partial laden sound as the volume is pushed. From watching how her hand works I'm concluding she is using short nails and a right-side of the fingertip/nail attack, a la Presti but without the hand and wrist contortions. Perhaps more akin to lute technique.
Polackova's right hand approach is quite different to the approach I and thousands of others have inherited via the Aguado Arcas Tarrega Segovia tradition. I love the result.
Petra es grandiosa... una de mis predilectas.
WoW, what a stunning performance, i loved listening every second. Many thanks for sharing👌👌👌

Прекарасно! Спасибо за музыка. Все превосходно. Гитара Шерцера ?
Being caressed, while waiting for that 9th string.
Bravo!!
I love this piece and this performance!!! One question: what key are you playing it in? Whose transcription are you playing? Ok two questions :).
Key is Bm. There's a transcription by Frederick Noad in that key. (in his book The Baroque guitar) Asides from the lower bass notes, there are some different voicings for the chords as far as I can tell. Quite curious which transcription was used here. Probably end up annotating the Noad transcription otherwise.
this is memorial to count LOsy von LOsinthal . one of S.l.Weiss finest pieces.
Jan Antonín Losy, Count of Losinthal (German: Johann Anton Losy von Losinthal ); also known as Comte d'Logy ( Losi or Lozi ), (c. 1650 [1] - 22 August 1721 [2]) was a Bohemian aristocrat, Baroque lute player and composer from Prague. His lute works combine the French style brisé with a more Italian cantabile style. - Wikipedia

Hello to you, can you please share more about your guitar ? What type is it , and how many strings ?
Thanks for your endearing music.

i swear that on occasion she uses her chin to damp the lowest string.
