In my past life as a choreographer and pianist, I have played and choreographed this piece so many times that they run together in my head. However, this arrangement is profound and stands out for me. You produce a unique sound out of the guitar and I think Ravel would have loved it.
What a unique and insightful arrangement! Mind-bending technique, executed without apparent effort and without upstaging the transparent beauty of Ravel's composition. I'm stunned.
Beautiful arrangement and performance of a gorgeous piece! This is one of those pieces that I think sounds better on the guitar than on the instrument for which it was written.
We used to play this with our classical guitar ensemble. Our teacher had made the arrangement himself. I am stunned to hear this on one guitar instead of four. This piece has so many layers and colours. Wonderful as always. Thank you!
Magic, yet again. I can't thank you enough for how much you're contributing to the classical guitar these past years. With each arrangement and performance you share with us, you are making our world a little bit more exciting and beautiful to live in.
Good lord that's fantastic! I have forgotten about this song for about 40 years, just now realizing I was inspired to write a theme (or so) based on it...Alan - thank you for the beauty!
Alan, I showed one of your videos to my mother lol. She has a remarkable ear for genius, and won't even flatter her own son 😆 She was astonished. Lmao just thought I'd let you know. You passed the test.
This is the most convincing arrangement of Ravel's pavane I've heard yet. It always seemed a piece that was just a little too large for the guitar, but you manage to make it work. Absolutely outstanding how you integrate extended techniques into a convincing musical framework as well. I can't wait until you release the sheet music, so I can give it a try!
Beautiful! I love your Shadowplay version (2017 perhaps) Can I buy it on Spotify or on Apple Music? If possible I’d like to listen it once again. Thanks

The more you release, the more speechless I become.

Absolutely gorgeous. The clarity and personality of the voicing. The harmonics and painterly textures. I'm floored. Bravo! 👏

One of my all-time favourites, well played.
Ravel said the princess was imaginary,
but the music conveys more than enough sympathy for a real one.
❤️🙏
Superduper!

Alan, I can't afford to be your monthly patron, but is there any way I can purchase your arrangement of the "Pavane…"?
@@danielsturm809 it should be available soon. Just sign up at AlanMearns.com and you’ll be notified by email 👍🏻
One of my favourites from Ravel. Beautifully adapted and executed! Thank you for sharing!
🙏❤️
There were many tricky harmonics. Well done! (and beautifully so)
🙏❤️
Didn't know much of Ravel apart from the bolero. Beautiful piece love the way you ring the artificial harmonics it sounds like a music box Love it
🙏❤️
Bravo! Your arrangement and your performance are both spectacular.
Thank you very much!
Merveilleux.

@@AlanMearns-YesTheRaven do you ever do house concerts?
@@Christ_on_the_RiverYes
@@AlanMearns-YesTheRaven that’s cool. We’d love to learn more about how that might work once we have our venue up and running.
Beautiful! I love your Shadowplay version (2017 perhaps) Can I buy it on Spotify or on Apple Music? If possible I’d like to listen it once again. Thanks
I’m afraid it’s just on RUclips
Magnificent! How many hours did you have to spend playing that to memorize it?
It gets memorized during the arrangement process.
Do you use a different tuning to Bream ?
I’m not sure what tuning he uses. This is just a normal tuning. …but I put it in the right key 😁
