Classical guitar videos by professionals and emerging artists. Watching pros play can improve your technique, musicality, and repertoire awareness.
Nikita Koshkin (I presume) conducting his own work (also presumed) “Changing the Guard” with a youth guitar orchestra. I like the violent thrusts of sound and angular lines. Cool work for a youth group. I’m sure you are familiar with Koshkin’s compositions…
Pretty stuff. Nice work Duo Eden Stell, feels so natural and…so good. Duo Eden Stell Play Farewell to Stromness at Iserlohn Gitarrensymposion 2012.
This is great, Pavel Steidl (Czech Republic) playing his own work ‘And you go to Ithaca, too?’. ‘Guitar Virtuosos’ festival, Moscow, Tchaikovsky hall. March 19th, 2014. Encore. Guitar maker: Nicolaus Georg Ries, 1838, Vienna (Austria). via Guitar Magazine on YouTube. Listen to a good portion so…
The excellent Duo Resonances (Frédérique Luzy & Pierre Bibault) play Alberto Ginastera’s Suite de Danzas Criollas Op.15. You can check out their CD via their site or Amazon: Duo Resonances: Guitar Works. Beautiful sound and video…and people for that matter!
A great demo by Tolgahan Çoğulu. Great playing too. I’ve only dabbled with microtonal music but having a fixed fret guitar would really help the process. However, depending on the composer or style of music you might need many different…
The Agnew McAllister Duo (Aisling Agnew and Matthew McAllister) perform ‘Sivi Grivi’ by Alan Thomas live during the Lake Recording Session in the Port of Menteith Church. Lots of energy, works well (listen to the end!). Always enjoy hearing McAllister.
Good music, good player. I don’t know much about the Italian scene but glad to find this player. Emanuele Buono from Italy playing Mario Castelnuovo Tedesco Quintetto per chitarra e quartetto d’archi op.143. Quartetto Perosi: M.Bianchi, M.Coco, M.Redegoso, C.Merlo.
Korean guitarist Kyu Hee Park plays 3rd movement of Mauro Giuliani’s concerto op.30. She makes it look so easy. I really like her ultra clear musical ideas in shaping, articulation, and colour. So direct and well executed. Hard to accomplish…
An excellent performance of Spanish Dance no. 1 from La Vida Breve by Manuel De Falla. Performed by Gohar Vardanyan via her YouTube. I thought this was tricky enough on two guitars but Gohar rocks it. Nice one. Guitar by Jean Rompré.
I don’t know what to make of this! It’s certainly interesting but cluttered sounding. Not a bad cluttered, but just intensely crowded. Neat though and the interaction between them is great. Via Sharon Isbin’s YouTube: Sharon Isbin, Stanley Jordan &…
An interesting project including guitarist Jason Vieaux. The below quote from the YouTube source explains more: Al-Bustan Arab Music Concert Series features classical guitarist Jason Vieaux in a concert “Revisiting Hybridity: (Western) Harmony and (Arab) Heterophony” with Al-Bustan Takht Ensemble: Music…
Vladimir Gorbach plays a well articulated gigue from Bach’s Lute Suite #2 BWV 997 on a 1937 Hermann Hauser I classical guitar. He has a great dance feel going with such a nice strong sense of pulse. He really digs in…
