Xuefei Yang - J.S.Bach - Prelude BWV846

Xuefei plays her own arrangement of J.S.Bach's beautiful Prelude BWV846. This track features on Xuefei's latest Warner Classics CD, "Sojourn." Xuefei is playing a 7 string guitar by English luthier Paul Fischer. Enjoy !

With seamless discipline, uncompromising hand technique and perfect timing, Xuefei breaths LIFE into every piece.

7 strings AND transposed in A: this is the best way to play the slow fall of the bass. Very fine. Thank you!

[eschelar]

In spite of all her talent, in this world, there exists one person luckier than Xuefei. That is the person who gets to be around her every single day and to listen to her practice.

Thanks to the power of Youtube, I'm almost half as lucky!

在你身邊是全世界的最幸運的位子。

Seven strings must be quite a stretch but it is beautiful to hear them when each one is attached to directly to your heart. Absolutely Wonderful!!!

I have just heard this arrangement for the first time, a masterpiece. I cannot find the right words to describe how I feel when I listen to this beautiful music. It brought me to tears.
J.S. B. would I am sure feel the same way too. Xuefei Yang, you have made a masterpiece from a timeless wonder. God bless you.

Beautiful Girl! Beautiful Guitar! Beautiful Music! Ms. Xuefei Yang, I heard you play for the first time last week and have not stopped listening since. I play your music over an over again, for hours and hours on in. It's what calms my nerves while I'm busy at work. Whenever I get a bit overwhelmed by the day to day, I stop for a minute and listen. Immediately, I get a sense of calm and peace. Your music is medicine for the soul. Thank you for doing what you do! And thank you for sharing your gift with the world! Thanks again! I love what you do!

It is a wonder and a pleasure to hear every note played perfectly by Xuefei. Thank you. She makes the difficult seem simple. I hope other classical guitarists will watch her performance and learn not just how to play Prelude properly, but also what Bach most likely intended for this piece.

[sjaakjansen]

Perfect transcription for the guitar (with extra bass)! This is really very, very beautiful ! Thank you for sharing !!
