Now playing: J.S.Bach Cello Suite No. 5, Prelude - Solo Electric Bass by Fabian Wendt. Paused, Muted
J.S.Bach Cello Suite No. 5, Prelude - Solo Electric Bass
This magnificent and moving piece of music is something very special to me.
A journey through the most extreme emotions, from pain-filled despair to divine bliss.
Performing this piece, composed for cello, on my beloved 1963 Precision Bass was one of the greatest musical challenges I've ever faced. Capturing, understanding, and memorizing this demanding and complex music was a daunting task for me, and the technical implementation of some passages initially seemed almost impossible.
It took me about a year to fully internalize the piece and reach the point where I could simply let the music flow.
Many thanks to:
Dominik Apanowicz (www.apanowicz.de) for his great and sensitive camera work!
Gabriel Schütz (www.gabston.de) for helping me with the mix and for his extremely musical mastering work!
I hope you enjoy it!
