I love the way he plays the whole 26-minute long piece perfectly from memory without missing a note, but has a hard time recalling the names of the four different movements at the start.

@jesserobinson8376 10 лет назад

wow I'm always blown away by Chris's memory and timing moreso than by his absolute technical mastery of his instrument, which is also quite unbelievably impressive. That combo makes him one of the best musicians ever to bless planet earth for sure Good thing he came about when youtube existed...

Sometimes you know with your whole being that the music is being served absolutely. This is one of those times. The spirit that resides in this work, perhaps some of Bach, must be feeling at peace - understood, accepted and brought to us. This is the first time I am hearing this work on an instrument other than the violin and it is a testament to Bach's conception that it transcends any particular vehicle. Bravo Chris Thile, and bravo MacArthur for recognizing him so early. And let us please recognize the attentive and appreciative audience. Let's not underestimate them. They make music making possible. Where would we be without them?

I know #24 and a couple others have been done, but unfortunately for average hands/mandolins, a lot of them would require the musicians to contort their hands in a very painful manner (e.g. #1), making them not fun to play. If you want some neat mandolin family specific pieces that show off technical skill, check out Raffaele Calace's Preludes.

Focusing on the all the notes he perfectly executes, I've never heard a human with such a high rate of accuracy, ESPECIALLY playing live (maybe Glenn Gould who Chris says was his first exposure to Bach). A stunning performance on every level, said the highly critical, classically trained professional violinist and sometimes mandolin player. I'm in awe of this performance and his technique at all times. He is not from this planet.

@KevinElamMusic 4 года назад

Elias Schwartzman yep! And at 23:35 there's the tiniest little "jazzy" grace note up into that high E. But that's pretty much it, lol. And that is a ridiculously unbelievable level of accuracy for a 30-minute piece with thousands of notes... And really hard ones too. I play a couple of movements of this suite at like 60% his speed, and it's still really hard! 🙏

It's less about "what notes and where" and more: "what is the contour" , how is it shaped, what does that feel like- I assume he's beyond a point of having to think actively about where he is within the pieces, he's "aware" of the ups and downs of the contour on a high level and his ear-finger connection does the rest. All assumptions, keep in mind, as a reasonably experienced educator.

@KevinElamMusic 4 года назад

First off, Chris is a machine and an amazing musician. I will never come anywhere close to approaching - nay, even understanding - a fraction of his epic majesty. I'm not worthy to unfasten his mandolin strap. I've been learning this suite on mandolin for a couple of years now, and most of it still has me stumped. Using Chris as a model, I've mastered the Sarabande and most of the Bouree. But Chris reigns supreme! I do find it interesting that in the Bouree, in the descending run starting at 22:41 and again almost exactly a minute later at about 22:39, Chris plays a G natural near the bottom of the run instead of a G sharp. In my Schirmer edition of the Partita, a G sharp is written. Did anyone else notice this? What is in other editions? The sequence "G natural - F# - E#", recalling a Neapolitan cadence in F# minor, certainly would be typical of Bach. I wonder what the autograph manuscript has?

@sonztwin 7 лет назад

I first heard Chris Thile play this on PHC a few years ago: who knows if it didn't impress the powers-that-be so much that he would one day succeed Garrison Keillor as host to the venerated show. Like virtually all of you (8 thumbs-down, REALLY???), my jaw slackened and my eyes glazed when I heard him play. How awesome is it that he not only took the time to transcribe this timeless treasure, but he also played it with such virtuosity and sensitivity. So this is not at all meant to be a diss. But in the final analysis, Johann Sebastian didn't write this for mandolin for a reason *. Thile's virtuosity cannot overcome the short-coming inherent in his instrument, summarized in a single word: resonance (or the lack of it). A great part of the beauty of this piece (and other partitas) lies in the lingering echo that a violin delivers. A plucked instrument with a fuller sound might pull it off better, but a mandolin, even in the chordal passages, sounds nakedly thin; its timbre is (ironically) too fleeting to sound ephemeral. Before anyone pours out the vitriol, let me (again) stress that I'm not saying Thile didn't do a great job, nor am I suggesting that the mandolin is necessarily an "inferior" instrument - it's just not nearly as good an instrument as the violin is for THIS piece, which only goes to further prove the genius that's Bach. Listen to, say, an Itzak Perlman rendering for comparison, and see if you agree. * The reason isn't that the mandolin hadn't been invented - it had, even if it hadn't been quite as widely used and accepted until at least a couple of decades later.

(I was mostly commenting on the double time section anyway.) . I definitely don't have a limited awareness of the breadth of the mandolin world. In fact, I think many mandolin players don't have a full awareness of the breadth of the musical world. I play jazz drums and just started tenor sax at 37, guitar and keys since I was a teenager. I listen to Grisman a lot, but also things like Ravi Shankar, Ali Akbhar Khan, Phillip Glass, Amon Tobin, Hamilton De Holanda, Grizzly Bear, Jaga Jazzist, Tony Rice, SNARKY PUPPY, Corey Henry, Herschel Sizemore, John Reishman, Rubblebucket, Jethro Burns etc... I have a transcribed half a dozen Charlie Parker heads on the mandolin, which is what got me started playing the sax. A little presumptuous to assume that I have a limited awareness of any music from a comment about a particular performance being one of a kind. I get the impression you might not understand exactly what you're watching here. I can play Bach on the mandolin, I know what it's like to memorize an 11 page piece like it's the back of your hand. 11 pages can be played in about 2 or 3 mins, consider that watching this again.

@augustinemcdermott8955 2 года назад

First off this is amazing, but everyone is saying that his memory is so impressive. Violin and piano soloists regularly perform hour long concertos from memory, and they have dozens of hours of music memorized. Also, this piece is actually easier on the mandolin than it is on the violin. It is harder to get good tone when you have to bow rather than pluck.

@andersgadejensen6945 2 года назад

I agree wholly about the memory part. It sounds overwhelming to the audience with the sheer ammount of notes, but Bach is so well structured that the road map inside a performers head is much more easily available. I am by no means an expert - only learned very few and badly played pieces, but this much became clear. I am wondering which measuring stick can be used to discern the relative difficulty in tone production between a bow and a pick - possibly apart form a single individual being equally skilled in both instruments on this level (which would be impossible since no one apart from Thile has taken the mandolin as far tonally). But I can recommend watching this interview where he discusses the differences: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-myjgo66SpUA.html

@augustinemcdermott8955 2 года назад

@@andersgadejensen6945 Thanks so much for pointing to that interview! It is so good! You raise a good point. There is much more knowledge about the technical edge of violin playing since it has been pushed for centuries, while mandolin technique has only been pushed the last couple decades. I haven't studied the mandolin, but I can say that with the banjo (more similar to the mandolin than the violin is) the fine motor skills required in the right hand are quite simple, and after you master them you're done. I supposed I assumed it was similar with mandolin. I will reconsider my position. If you are interested in a comical and quality defense of the violin as the most difficult instrument to play (yes, an entirely arbitrary discussion) watch ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-osRzbY_AdaM.html by my favorite musician comedy duo.

@andersgadejensen6945 2 года назад

@@augustinemcdermott8955 Thanks. That's a funny video! Equally tempered instruments (like the piano) or relatively equally tempered instruments (like the banjo) suffer some or all issues as the guys in the video. It gets really tough if you're playing an instrument capable of intonating to approximately absolute pitch in a concert situation (clarinet for example). Then you'll have to know when to micro-adjust physically to play the same note as for example a third or a fifth of the chord. That is extraordinarily complex. On the violin, the connection between the ear and the finger is more intuitive (That's what I hear from concert musician friends on the respective instruments anyway). Personally, I'm a bit of a hobby banjo player too. I've been studying with Noam at his artistworks course for the past year and a half. Highly recommendable. I have a tabbed out version for 5-string banjo of the left hand part of Bachs Invention no. 4 in Dm if you are interested (and have a mandolin or fiddle player willing to jam along for the right hand)

@@andersgadejensen6945 That's so cool! I have only learned two finger pick and clawhammer, which I really enjoy, though I'm interested in trying out some three finger. I don't think I would be able to put the tab to much use, but I greatly appreciate the offer!

This Guy could shred Steve Vai into next Thursday if he chose to. Get some distortion and a fat reverb on that thing and you’re basically rocking everyone’s socks clean off.

Truly astonishing. This recording should be buried in a time capsule for future artistically deprived civilisations to wonder over.

When someone sees the word "partita", they almost undoubtedly think Bach, so maybe that's why his name is not in the video title. But Bach was not the only writer of partitas. Christoph Graupner, for instance, wrote more than 50 partitas for harpsichord.

@luisdebuenosaires3170 6 лет назад

incredible execution of a great musician of this instrument.....really as somebody says here i wonder how he plays without a partiture.....really he is an OUTSTANDING.... FUERA DE SERIE....he looks like not human...but he lives the music...in each piece he play ..... He pleases every musical moment.....as you can see his body...and his face moving to the beat of the mandoline that sounds like the charango of south america that some people plays also clasicalmusic pieces of bach or vivaldi and others....really a genious of the execution....!!!!!

I'm stunned that no one has remarked about this performance! It is a magnificent display of talent!

I think it fair to say it has been remarked on :)

Brilliant! But "bourre' is a French word for an ancient dance form so there's no "t" on the end. But the 'barret' joke *was* funny. My mother would have loved this as much as I do.
