Still performs good. But of course lacks the force that Garfunkel’s high voice gives to it.

Comment on Marek Pasieczny: Little Sonata by Dan

Dan — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 12:37:06 +0000

AMAZING! Do you know his AMERICAN SUITE or SATO NO AKI pieces? I think he is the best living composer writing for guitar (among stars like Dyens, Domeniconi). Is that piece published? Do you know Pasieczny personally?

Comment on Fernando Sor: Fantasie, Op. 54 – Bream & Williams by Peter Hughes

Peter Hughes — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 20:40:54 +0000

Lovely recording and new to me, so thank you. Of course, I knew they played duets. I wonder if Sor and Aguado played this while they were room-mates all those years ago (I don’t know the dates, but perhaps Sor wrote it with that in mind), and how it would have sounded with Sor’s flesh-only style versus Aguado’s with-the-nail style.

I just finished watching the short video of Roger Williams, showing his craft off – what a pleasure. I served my time as an electrical fitter before going on becoming a bio medical engineer, now retired. Although I will never be able to purchase one of these works of a highly gifted craftsman, it gave me great pleasure to able to appreciate the high level of skill. Thank you.

Comment on Jose Romanillos on Torres Guitars: How Did They Sound? by Adrian Oats

Adrian Oats — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 05:58:46 +0000

A must for aspiring guitar makers. The depth of study undertaken by the master is most evident. What he didn’t mention was the use of gut strings and their effect on the sound. They must have been quite different to the strings of today.
All of the Jose Romanillos videos are a treasure trove of insights into the art.

I think he has two modes of performing — a showbiz mode and a serious mode. I saw him on his tour with James Galway and he played his New World Symphony extravaganza. It was a circus. But when he plays seriously, wow. It’s all there.

Comment on Kazuhito Yamashita by William Bajzek

William Bajzek — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 23:19:25 +0000

I am a big fan of Yamashita, although I think perhaps not of everything he does is equally successful. That said, he’s one of the few guitarists who is instantly recognizable, and there is something to be said for that. Everyone may not like what he has to say, but at least he has something to say.

John Witherston — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 19:19:06 +0000

Yamashita plays so recklessly and forced. For example the playing here…
There is no trace of “La boda de Luis Alonso” the classic zarzuela by Gerónimo Giménez.

All this is – instead – is Yamashita, freak-clown of the classical. Thankfully some toplevel reviews feel the same way…

Thank you for the news about Julian Bream and his inspired decision to donate his art collection to the music school with blank walls in Cardiff. My memories of his playing in the 1950s are very precious to me. The avenue photograph has a sadness with the figure departing, but it is very beautiful.

Comment on Kazuhito Yamashita by JPD

JPD — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 19:23:17 +0000

I’d like to add a thought. In another online forum, guitarist John Marsh Bigelow said of Yamashita’s playing:

“You can’t get there from here.”

Ayuh. Being a New Hampshireman myself, that saying is an old friend of mine.

Sometimes, just seeing someone break an unbreakable barrier is enough to give the rest of us a way forward. It happened for the world with Roger Bannister and the 4-minute mile, for instance, and it happened for me and many other guitarists with Paco de Lucia. Before Paco, after trying my damnedest, I didn’t think it was possible for anyone to make scales sound the way they sounded in my head.

But Yamashita? “You can’t get there from here.” Perfect. I wish I’d thought of it for the blog post. I’m stealing it… just a little..

Not all guitarists can capture the intimate moods of Barrios his music and play it.
I’ve watched almost all video on Barrios on youtube and I think I really like only one. His name is Carlo Marchione. The video’s are old so the quality is not really good. But I think his video’s are worth listening to.

As for the ethics of it all, I don’t know. Things evolve. Remember what Ben Franklin said? “You have your republic now — IF you can keep it!” Same goes for copyright holders. The have the benefit of copyright law — IF they can keep it. We’ll see.

A brilliant player, certainly, yet there is something about Aussel — an extra or larger dimension of meaning in his playing — that reminds me of Bream. Not that I would ever mistake Aussel’s playing for Bream’s; their sounds (or palettes) are not similar. But I get the impression that Aussel, like Bream, is working with concepts of expression that are of his own design.

God bless Sungha Jung ! This good-looking Korean
boy is incredibly gifted. He is a super entertainer.
He is obviously humble and nice, and that is
why we adore him even more. We are hoping he comes
to give a concert in Vancouver BC. We would pay a lot of money to see him in person. Please let us know if he ever decides touring in Canada.
Best of luck
We love ya !
Michael and his lady, Manouck

Sounds a LOT like him, doesn’t it! But let’s not tell anyone.

Mayby he’s Fred Koller (Fret Killer) the songwriter. Wrote, among many others, Let’s Talk Dirty In Hawaiian. Just a thought!

Lovely! Just fantastic, how he emphasizes the melody. Great in spite of, or perhaps because of the anachronistic instrument and technique

I tried to play a Baritone guitar once and didn’t know what the heck to do with the new string. I felt very much like a dope. haha

This is a great video however. It’s a bit mysterious how the guitar is suspended like JPD said. haha

That’s some beautiful playing. His tonal palette is impressive as is his ability to clearly separate each voice, often giving each one its own dynamics and articulation (something that isn’t easy on guitar).

Beautiful. But I have a question: How is this guitar being supported in this performance? I don’t see a strap or a guitar frame, and the guitar doesn’t seem to be resting on either leg. Yet, the guitar moves with the body — but the body moves freely behind the guitar! This is a little mysterious.
