I think the average person listening to this doesn't realize the dedication and hard work it takes to get to this level of playing the guitar. This gentleman sits here for more than 13 minutes and plays beautifully and flawlessly, having memorized this very long and difficult piece. His fingers glide over the frets seemingly effortlessly. What a magnificent performance. Bravo, sir, bravo!!!!

No doubt, it is bravissimo!!! Even more: over the enormous work needed to be able to perform like this, I would highlight the attitude of the player towards the music he plays. It is technically perfect but, at the same time, sober as to not to permit himself any arbitrary ornament or subjective variation to show himself thus making himself the star. He serves humbly the music, so allowing the listeners to enjoy it at its highest degree. Thanks Mr. Feeley. Sin duda, bravísimo. Aún más: sobre el enorme trabajo necesario para llegar a tocar así, yo destacaría la actitud del intérprete hacia la obra que toca. Lo hace de modo técnicamente perfecto pero, al mismo tiempo, tan sobrio como para no permitirse ningún adorno arbitrario o variación subjetiva que atraiga la atención sobre sí mismo. Por el contrario, sirve humildemente a la pieza, haciendo con ello a los oyentes disfrutarla al máximo. Gracias, Sr. Feeley.

"The Chaconne is one of the most wonderful, incomprehensible pieces of music. On a single staff, for a small instrument, the man writes a whole world of the deepest thoughts and the most powerful feelings. If I were to imagine how I might have made, conceived the piece, I know for certain that the overwhelming excitement and awe would have driven me mad." -- Brahms

A fugue and a chaconne have similarities. A Chaconne always keeps the original bass line throughout and the theme goes through a series of variations. This chaconne remains in d minor for the entire first half before switching keys rather dramatically to D Major only to return to it's original d minor. A fugue takes a theme and piles them on top of itself in other voices and plays more with different individual voices continuing to develop the original thematic statement and sometimes modulating quite frequently. Fugues will often pop up in unexpected places like development sections of symphonic movements or string quartets. I hope that helps

If there is a better performance anywhere on the internet I've not heard it. Not just of this piece, but of any piece. Granted I prefer baroque.

Most comments here quite rightly praise the wonderfully accomplished playing of John Feeley. One of the reasons for the brilliance of this performance is the arrangement which is also his. The miracle of KZitem allows us to easily compare this with performances by other masters such as Williams, Bream and Segovia. In my ears this tops them all, and the arrangement has a lot to do with that. I find it astonishing that until I happened to search for the great Chaconne here I had never heard of this Master of the guitar.

Muscle memory (also called motor learning) is a form of procedural (read: unconscious) memory. It's not a misnomer.

A question to classical guitarists: you say, _Finally (...), not a single squeak. Are finger/string squeaks considered impure playing by the art and schools of classical guitar or just something inherently involved? Do guitarists endeavor to eliminate it, or perhaps only as the very final polish once everything else is perfect, or do they reckon it quite natural and not a flaw? Here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/jmN7mZ9ocaiWiZg - the rendition of Chaconne is obviously not free of squeak but does it take anything away from it? What is the opinion of the classical guitar connoisseurs?

...I've heard this recording of John Feeley's Bach D minor Chaconne so so many times, drawn to it through J.S. Bach's extraordinary violin masterpiece initially and two alternative transcriptions - Bach/Busoni's piano epic and this one. John (imo) keeps a perfect natural line, letting the music speak for itself with no imposition as none is needed. Such inspiration playing, probably a fellowship-level of difficulty piece, yet I'm blown away by this level of performance! Bravo ..

I keep returning to this one. Of all the Chaconne 's. No edits. Flawless. The timing, especially on those fast runs, is exquisite.

My instincts tell me this is one of those pieces a guitarist will study their whole life. Sure they may get all the right frets and strings while in conservatory but they won't get the Notes until they are in their 40s and 70s.

This man is on a mission -- you can see it in his face, and in his body language -- to play the heart and soul out of one of Bach's greatest compositions -- and he succeeds absolutely, totally, and magnificently!

Incredible work. I often come back to listen to this extraordinay arrangement, with the extremely subtle dynamics in the performance. More and more pleasant, the more you listen to it.

Peter Lorre brought me here. No, seriously. I first heard this tune as a kid when watching the 1940's horror film, "The Beast with Five Fingers". It featured a disembodied hand which, in one scene, strangles Lorre, and plays this tune on piano in another. The movie scared the hell out of me, but I've loved Bach ever since. Terrific performance btw.

Ha, ha, ha! Best commentary I´ve seen in a long time! Now Bach is going to take me to...Peter Lorre. Seriously, the scene you describe has sparked my interest (Peter Lorre getting choked or knocked around has always something hilarious in it). But this is an exceptional performance of the Chaconne.

Whenever I hear someone play an instrument as perfectly as this, one thing always springs to mind. We didn't come here merely by accident, but we were created by a being of absolute perfection, love and goodness.Such music can only have sprung from heavenly inspiration

It's basically impossible to get to the end of this piece and not believe in God. You will go through everything the doubt, the fear, the anger, but finally you will accept that there is a higher power.
