Tatyana Ryzhkova: Bach on Guitar

Johann Sebastian Bach, Sonata II BWV 1003, Allegro

Here’s guitarist Tatyana Ryzhkova with the Bach Sonata II BWV…

The performance here is just beautiful, well executed and soulful.

You will want to watch this over and over again.

Tatyana’s left hand technique is just perfect, and the sustain she gets on some of the ascending passages is just fantastic- almost reminds me of floating guitar!
