Even though I was just overwhelmed by BWV1001's performance, another historic performance was added. These are blissful days for someone like me who loves Bach's music. The characteristics of the maestro's performance include the clear separation of each note, the outstanding beauty of ornaments such as cross-string trills and mordents, and the skill with which he handles contrapuntal voices. However, I think the most appealing thing about him is that he expresses the joy of music in an extremely restrained and rational way, while refraining from making exaggerated gestures. I would like to express my gratitude for the good fortune of being born at the same time as the maestro.

I used to have a stauffer like replica guitar like this. I feel they just sound fantastic 🙏🙏 I like the way he plays ,so relaxed, yet so focused and absorbed in the beauty of the music

The beauty of Bach's music is that you can innovate on it without transforming it into a whole different piece. This recording to me, is superior to the previous one of the Prelude When I get to a certain level, I'll try tuning the 3rd to an F#, if that would make the piece less stressing to play 😅

Another beautiful performance Drew! I’ll have to keep an eye out for the album.

Bravissimo!!!

bravo!

Incredible performance 👏

Звук слишком тихий, а так хорошо

Amazing! Is it possible to purchase that guitar somewhere or was it custom?

I absolutely love this on guitar than on violin! Thanks YT for the rec and Drew for the stunner! Looking forward to the album already.

Stunning. Such clarity of playing, amazing.

Stunning! Thank you so much for sharing. I love the left hand staccato in the Prelude. Great contrast.

It has the style of a Stauffer but it’s 650mm and 50mm nut width, right?

Father, thank you!

Sooo wondefull..., gorgeous articulation!

Vo combining the guitar and the lute, really gives us the best of both worlds.

A masterful interpretation!!!

My favourite Prelude too, played brilliantly. I expect you’ve also played it on 8 strings with a low A and C#? Don’t you miss those low A’s?

I could play this on the piano once and now I want to revisit it but,-where the hell did I put the score?! Wonderful interpretation, btw, I am very impressed with your ability to produce nice clear tones on the harmonics-I'll have to practice that!

No Rondeau?-I was looking forward to that!

Fluid and beautiful. Really, words can’t touch the emotion this evokes. Where’s the emoji for that?

I have just witnessed Drew Henderson and Stephanie Jones play the same Bach Lute Suite, and both gave entirely unique performances! Each was superlative and transformational, and I consider this Midsummer June 2024 weekend to be a personal watershed in Classical Guitar.

Drew, do you do any concerts at all? Unfortunately, I’m a bit too young to have caught John Williams when he was still touring, but I’d love to listen to you live one day.

Flawless performance. Bravo!

Ooooh, you truly make the notes dance and sing w/ varying emotions and tones creating a musical world of bliss which inspires! So many cheers!

Wonderful.

That is some intensely good left hand technique!

❤

What a performance! Timing, dynamics, ornamentations: another level of interpretation and technique. Mr Henderson, you reached the ecxelence on the classical guitar: congratulations!

😮很好👍很有心❤❤

One of the best rendition of Bwv 1006 ever! ❤😮Holy Jesus

Absolutely amazing, bravo 👏

Grazie Maestro

Спасибо за доставленное душевное удовольствие в День Святой Троицы! Привет из России в день замечательного праздника, Нижний Новгород.

bravo!

What a way to understand and feel the third Partiata! There is already so much depth in Bach's music and in a lesser but still significant degree in your playing of it, that now, after listening to you, I can no longer see a transcription like this as something containing any "additions" to Bach's original music, but rather as an laying out of a possibility already conceived By Bach and already contained within the original score. Your musical understanding and artistic vision is quite obvious, and I am amazed by the talent that you have been given from above. You did not only find a working and convincing interpretation of the voices in Bach's original violin music, but also of the additional bass lines and middle voices, which you have played with a right amount of clarity. They give the main melody a much more definite meaning, so they are bold in nature, but of course one does not want to overstate them, as the stage belongs more to the higher voices. The musical phrases in your performance are as natural as verbal phrases in a conversation. A great performance of a thoughtful interpretation, thank you for sharing it with us! Also, a great instrument for Bach, my favourite measures were probably 10:18. The registers are similar enough for phrasing arpeggios and horizontally wide ranging phrases, but also different enough for shading and contrasting the different voices. I wish you all the best for your personal life and your musical career!

I well remember the 8 strings version of the gorgeous prelude. So now how you did you tune the 7th string? Really nice the pulse of the Loure and the clarity of the Gavotte.

Simply divine.

DearDrew, Babolutely stunning ... I look worward tobeing even morestunned by you inthefuture. Sincerely, Alan

I loved the prelude so much. Especially the staccato in some of the melodic lines are so good! Thank you so much for sharing your music.

Truly great!

❤👍👋👋👋❤️🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

Wish you were my teacher!

Stunning!

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Som muito bonito. Impressionante o acabamento dado a obra, seja tecnicamente e muisicalmente. Parabéns!

El alma se llena de dicha al escucharlo....gracias!!!

I feel so ridiculously honoured to be able to open RUclips with a tap and then have the possibility of being immediately transported into Bach’s divine creations interpreted so flawlessly!!!!! Have you ever played in Sydney? If not, why not?🙏

Excellent. Great interpretation!
