the craziest thing of all is Bach basically wrote an absolutely kickass guitar solo 321 years ago. Nice riffs.

I honestly think that Bach would have been a Metal legend if he lived in modern times. What a great musical piece and what a great way to present it. Nice playing!

When I was studying at a music school, I was obliged to study classical music, then I liked Bach most of all. It's like rock music in the world of classical music, even the keys are like in rock.

[agelec]

The magic thing with classic music is that you can play her with any instrument! And melody remains magic!

[cstiger]

Bach's work was not appreciated during his lifetime and even shortly after. I guess he would absolutely LOVE seeing this. Seeing his work appreciated and played on modern instruments/style by young musicians. Well done.

[johnnybravo]

A timeless piece. Can be played on almost every instrument, in any type of tone, and still sound incredible as if it were meant for whatever tone it is played. Bach is one of the best artists in history.

The band 'Sky' covered this in about 1980. It actually became a minor hit for them. You have played it beautifully, Laura. Thank you

[ВладимирКовтун-ои]

Фантастика! Невероятно! Замечательно, что на Земле живут такие таланты!

[РаисаТ-ию]

Виртуозное, потрясающее владение инструментом! Порхают, словно бабочки...По всей гитаре пальчики...Касаясь, мимолётно, тонких струн...И возникает музыка, волшебная и нежная...От прикасаний крылышек...Уже душевных струн. Спасибо тебе Лаура, за радость, которую ты даришь людям! Счастья тебе, любви и везения, всегда и во всём!

Bach was way ahead of the times with this piece. Goodness graciousness what a guitar play.

[madmartigan]

The similarities between classical music and metal are lost on some people. But when you play it on an electric guitar with some distortion is hard not to see. Awesome work, thank you!

[eschelar]

I think what a lot of people might miss about this piece is that almost as much as the notes, this piece is about the timing. Absolutely exceptional.

[МаксимЖезлов-ил]

Шедевр! Оч качественное исполнение! Техника-бомбическая! Удачи! Здоровья! Успехов в творчестве!!!

[artempiven]

Да, это просто поражает воображение. Лаура, нет слов, спасибо.

[НиколайКудельский]

Лаура, ты какой-то чистый ангел от музыки! Замечательная игра: и Бах, и Вивальди, и современные композиции. Браво!!! Уже с полгода подписан на твой канал, многое переслушал, и вот подумал, что надо написать, восхититься!)) Очень заметно ты выросла, конечно, как музыкант-исполнитель, если сравнивать с ранними записями. Желаю дальнейшего музыкального и личностного развития, всяческих успехов!!!

This girl has the most amazing talent. Toccatta is one of the most difficult pieces to play, even on a pipe organ, which is what it was written for.
I seem to remember Emerson Lake and Palmer recording this in the late 60s. If they heard this rendition they would chuck in their careers.
Young lady, I salute you talent.

[simplexj]

I cannot say that this is my favourite rendition of Bach's famous Toccata, but her sleight of hand is sort of mesmerizing. Incredible!

[Dickens]

I play Bach on piano all the time, but I have never heard such a fantastic rendition as this guitar cover!

[ОлегПопов-ъь]

Зинчуки нервно курят.. Лаура просто космический уровень исполнения. Нет слов, браво!

[viktoriavoytenko]

Мощно. Потрясающе. Благодарю за гениальное исполнение. Творческих успехов и удачи, крепкого здоровья.
