J.S. Bach, Cello Suite No 1 - Julia Lange, Classical Guitar 

I'm a cellist and I've performed the Bach suites many times and heard a lot of other interpretations. When I hear it on guitar, it lends some kind of a magical tranquility that you just can't do with the cello.

Sometimes, 3 minutes of Bach, properly interpreted, can calm a turbulent day & ease a troubled mind. This was one of those times. Thanks for sharing a wonderful performance. It made my day.

This music makes me feel that the mundane and the profound are identical. That life is an epic, without anything extreme needing to happen. Just being alive is enough.

I'm an amateur player but I've been (slooowly) learning this piece and using this video as reference. So I think that by the time I've learned it I will have watched this video more than any other person! 🥇

Lucky as I am, I had the privelage of performing this song alongside Julia in a One Off, street performance in Glasgow queen street, untuned ears sauntered by, but tasteful and cultured individuals stopped and listened for a moment, while she displayed the utmost grace and relentless passion the public wasn’t yet ready to hear, playing like a thousand people were listening when just a few lended their ears, I thought then, what a true artist, a warrior of her craft, forever grateful for the shared excellence we gifted the passers by!! X

As a cellist who is currently playing this song, it transposes beautifully. For all the time I've heard of prelude its been the "Classic cello piece", but it definitely is not just great on the cello. This is proof.

J. S. Bach has got to be grinning from ear to ear right now. Absolutely beautiful to hear. Thank you so much for this.

Julia Lange is the perfect guitarist to perform this lovely piece. I can listen to her play for hours.

Listening to this made today a better day.

Bach's Cello pieces always transcribe well for guitar and sounds just as good.

The world became a better place in just 3 minutes. AMAZING

A classical performance by a classy and intelligent lady. You and your performances are not just gifted, you are a gift. Thank you for sharing something so wonderful with us.

She is a dreamy player. I'm in love with her feel.

A beautiful, gifted classical guitarist playing timeless music. What more could you ask for?

Don’t tell Johann, but I like this piece better on guitar than on cello. And I LOVE it on cello. Amazing work and my gosh, what a gorgeous sounding instrument.

BWV 1007 auf Gitarre: Viele sind berufen, aber wenige sind auserwählt. Du bist definitiv eine der ausgewählten ❤️

*🌠 The depth and complexity of classical compositions never fail to leave a lasting impression.*

The clarity and punch of the bass on that guitar is astonishing. Marvelous performance, obviously.

J.S. Bach yet lives!!

I love listening to Bach cello suites but I agree that this is a magnificent interpretation of the 1st suite on guitar which radiates with tranquility 😊

it was so well played as the interpreter remembered things from her life while playing

There was a time, many years ago when I was just a kid, I would sit for hours on my porch and try to play as fluid as this young lady, alone except for this stray cat who used to sit and purr as I plucked the strings, never complaining that I never reached that level. It was the effort that mattered, the attempt. I wish I had that heart today, somewhere it got lost, but hearing this captures a bit of it, and reminds me of the joy of the challenge to play like the masters. Very well done young lady, very well played indeed.

You've found your joy Julia. There is no sound on planet earth more beautiful than the classical guitar, as beautiful perhaps, more beautiful, not possible. Thanks Julia.

The build up starting at 2:09 is genius. It’s a sonic guide to the part immediately after which sounds like Grace.

I've been playing guitar for years (a different style) and whenever I hear a lady like this I am completely in ore of them. They play with such Devine skill and precision that I could never hope to be as good as them in a million years. And you no what? That's good because I get to listen to the beauty of it without analysing it. Fantastic 🎉❤

Fraulein Lange, das einzige, was schöner ist als Sie, ist Ihr Spiel und Ihre offensichtliche Liebe zu Ihrer Kunst und zu Bach. Vielen Dank für diese großartige Leistung. Beste Wünsche aus den USA und Entschuldigung für mein unzureichendes Deutsch

A moment, of peace, beauty, skill, emotional content, reflectiveness, (I may have just invented a new word..) and hope, packed into 3:08. For the weary, the stressed, the worried, the uncertain, the hopeless, to come and be unburdened of the cares that trouble their hearts, and remember once again what the joy of life feels like. Thank-you Julia, May God increase your skill, your joy, your audience, and give you increased ability to move peoples hearts deeply.

Precision and clarity, the sole of talent.

The feeling you impart in your performance sets you apart in a space all your own. Bravo!

This is breathtaking. It's not often we have the opportunity to watch a performer literally become the music she is playing. Bravo!

We need to get you to a million(s) subscribers! That was incredible! Thank you...

One of the most relaxed Hands i ever seen ... stunning, beautiful Superaffentittengeil

Eine zauberhafte Aufnahme mit sehr schönem Klang auf dieser wunderbaren Jakob Lebisch Meistergitarre ! BRAVO 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋 👋Tolle Aufnahme !! 👍👍👍 Danke fürs teilen 🙏

Fahren gerade mit dem Zug an Köthen vorbei...eine wichtige Station in Bachs Leben...Und nun höre ich gerade diese wunderschöne Interpretation auf der Gitarre! Thank you for the Musik! 😊🎸🎶💓

I feel like, like kinda hearing a soundtrack from a beautiful movie from a very beautiful scene... So calming

Yo interpretaré la misma obra en la final de un concurso en mi país y me da emoción pensar poder interpretar así, tengo 11 años y me encantó como tocas.

BEAUTIFUL AND FLAWLESS

This really is not my type of music. But this young lady plays this so beautifully it's impossible to not listen to the whole piece of music . It is just superb, thank you for educating .

cannot stress enough how underrated legato's difficulty is on guitar. bravo!

Красота классической гитары, как и классическая красота исполнителя))). Джулия спасибо! Я один тут по-русски пишу?

Когда исполняешь Душой - неважно, на каком инструменте!!!

Thanks to you, this will be the first classical masterpiece I will be mastering. Thank you.

So nice............Thanks and Blessings............

As a cellist in the New York Symphony…. BEAUTIFUL!!! Your expressions for a song I have had to play my whole life and love…. So amazing!

Que preciosidade! Que coisa mais bela!!! Parabéns Julia !!!! Falo de Belo Horizonte! Minas Gerais Brasil!!

I think this is my favorite version/performance of this piece I've heard yet! 😀

Sometime pieces are played just right for my ear,ths is one of those times.Three minutes of great pleasure.Thank you ,Julia

my ear is getting tickled what a beautiful feeling

Que qualidade sonora !!! Que toque limpo !

I grew up listening to Segovia play Bach. A video like this confirms my assertion that there is nothing more elegant and soulful than Bach on the acoustic guitar. This is about as close as you can get to experiencing perfection.

Lovely, and the wooden furnishings and other surfaces of the room doubtless help make the performance even more authentic (even with the change of instrument).

I never thought the perfect woman existed. and then you tube proves me wrong and introduces me to Julia Lange. So talented. Congratulations.

It's nice to see actual talent in the world for change.

Very impressive. Never heard Bach on a guitar before. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Absolutely beautiful, thank you ❤

You make it look so easy, beautiful!

I have no idea why this didn’t grab me when I heard it on Daredevil but it certainly did when I heard it on Batwoman. As a metal guitarist I’m now determined to learn this. Absolutely gorgeous playing. Thank you so much for sharing.

such beauty, in sound and vision.

As a straight man from the southern United States I think the best compliment I can give you is that your music is so beautiful I didn’t even notice how beautiful you are yourself. Around here men typically see the pretty girl and then click on the video just to see her and I clicked on this from a google search of Prelude on guitar and my God are you something special(talent wise). Keep up the fantastic work you are doing

That was 3 minutes of pure pleasure.

Lovely and relaxing to listen to.

This is one of my favourite pieces of guitar music and Your interpretation of it is one of the best. I am not a guitarist or a musician but you have a light touch that makes this piece sound even more beautiful. You nailed it completely 😊

I loved this so much I actually felt myself wanting to applaud at the end of the piece. I do hope I have the opportunity to listen to this magnificent performer live on tour one day.

Absolutely beautiful performance of a Great work by my fav. composer.

I was enchanted with this interpretation. Sheer virtuosity ❤

playing with love! Bravíssimo!! (from Brasil)

I play guitar myself. Restarted a year ago after quitting 10yrs. Learning the right way and getting rid of old habits. Excellent performance. I noticed how beautiful your hands are! 😊

You can well see and hear in this piece that much of Bach's shorter pieces were composed as practice pieces for his musical children & other music students. This whole piece is one practice scale after another...yet it comes out as a gorgeous, calming composition. And, it sounds as good...maybe even better..on classical guitar as on cello.

Belíssimo, que melodia agradável. Um dia vou chegar nesse nível

I’ve listened to classical music all my life, this was very beautifully played. Well done.

Beautiful tone, and control of each passage whilst maintaining the spirit of the piece! Well done.

When I was a young teen, my Dad would "force" us to listen to this on classical guitar incessantly, and I learned to loathe it. This was the early 70's mind you. Now of course I am Bach's biggest fan, and this was another one of those, how did he do it?? moments.

Julia is the freshest young guitarist these days. I enjoy her sweet playing. 👍👍

Olden people in the past had an incredible music taste, even clothing, writings you name it! Their music is outstanding!

bravo!! I didn't even know this worked on a guitar. I closed my eyes and just enjoyed the entire performance. Thank you!

I used to play a version similar to this. Also, my guitar has a sound similar to yours. All in all, I almost cry listening to this because I do not play since ten years ago. Thank you.

She plays with beauty, authority, and feeling. Bravo! That's a nifty contraption she has there to connect her instrument to her left thigh. I play with the waist of the guitar on my left thigh, but use a 6" stool to get the "altitude" on the guitar that makes the neck/fingerboard 45 degrees to vertical. This allows me to perform "Thumb Position" on the guitar, a technique used on cello and double bass, which also sport a perfectly vertical neck. I think that's where I got the idea/inspiration. That, and I REALLY needed that one extra treble note. Necessity being the Mother of Invention, of course, and not me. Plus, I really needed that note, and now I have it and a few others, to boot.

Beautiful setting, beautiful music & beautifully played by a beautiful girl.

Truly beautiful piece of music played exquisitely

It transcribes so well you’d never believe it wasn’t written for guitar. Very nice job Julia!

Wow, that gave me chills! I've never heard this song on guitar before. Thank you!!

I’ve always loved this piece

this is love with the spirit

Beautiful! This tune always lifts my heart, and your rendition here is downright *magical*. Thank you :-)

We miss you Julia! great interpretation, amazing perform.

I love it when classical musicians also have good rythm. Respect!

Fabulous, and for all of the reasons mentioned below. Julia is beautiful, Bach's Cello Suite No 1 is beautiful, Julia's virtuosity is beautiful, and the setting is beautiful. The problem is the setting. It is also beautiful, in the way that the house turned-museum of a long-dead classical music composer can be beautiful: elegant, refined, clean. Exactly what one would expect. This is why classical music concert halls are largely filled by a dying demographic of cotton-heads. The same piece played by Julia weaaring a sweaty and dirty house dress in a squalid apartment with a view of Mexico City or a Favala in Brazil, would, potentially, go viral. In other words, there is nothing at all wrong with presentation of classical music in its traditional formats, as we see here. And perhaps its survival will never depend on how it is presented, after all, as long as humans are able to recognize and appreciate the transcendent beauty of music it will always be with us in one form or another. But for it to thrive, it can never do so without being relevant. Safe patronoge is one thing, but the patrons will someday be gone.

Incredible dexterity in those more complex passages.

Su forma de tocar transmite paz.

Julia, você é uma excelente artista ! Parabéns ! 🇧🇷

So clean and so much feel. Seen so many solo guitar renditions of Bach's Cello Suite and this is the best.

I was thinking as I was listening and viewing this recording that the performance, the audio quality and video was as good as I have ever heard and seen. Then I read the description and it was you too.

I'm listening in tears as the birds around me are singing with holy greatness. Thanks be to God ! ❤🙏

Yeah that was spectacular. I play rock/blues, SG Gibson and Angus Young tone turned up! Your interpretation and playing ability reflects years of dedication and skill. Thanks for sharing that, loved it.

Beautiful sound and very expressive interpretation, Julia! Bravo! Best regards from San Luis, Argentina!

Amazing. Tone, Technique. Measured and passionate. Definitely amazing and capable of being compared to the greatest guitarists ever

Beautifully played ...reminded me of Segovia all those years ago...a fluid and intelligently realised reading ...thanks Julia

Listening to this young lady play bach is the perfect companion on a cold snowy evening .😊😊😊❤

Bravo Julia ,c'était extrêmement agréable à écouter, et à regarder promener vos doigts avec tant de délicatesse . Très joli choix également dans l oeuvre de jsBach Amicalement
