My father was a flamenco guitarist. He passed away 2 months ago after struggling with Alzheimer's disease. He really loved Paco Pena and especially this duet. He was in a coma in his last few days. A few hours before he passed away, I played this for him. Amazingly he held my hand and had tears in his eyes. Right then I decided to fly all the way to Dublin to see the maestro playing this exact Farruca part with his companion. It made me so happy and thankful that I had a chance to watch the maestro playing this live ❤
One of the first videos I watched in RUclips when I was a young kid, back in 2010/2011. Back then, there were really not many classical guitar videos on the platform, and most came from old VHS tapes like this one. I also remember very distinctly listening to a concert of John Williams playing La Catedral, Asturias on a TV set, and Sabicas malagueña in black and white. This played a role in creating my musical identity :)
I have had the privilege of seeing John Williams live at Birmingham Symphony hall, and it is only when you watch and hear these guys live you realise just how brilliant they are.
Pido perdon por haber tardado tanto en elogiar JOYA MUSICAL. que tiene algo de Bettinoti ( pobre mi madre querida). Interpretada por dos MAESTROS. GRACIAS A QUIEN LO SUBIO.
Thanks much for posting this ... I'm always impressed by the range of Williams' willingness to explore all kinds of music for the guitar ... and Paco Pena ... such a supreme talent ...wonderful!
Great synergy. I have seen a video of williams playing with Bream, and they didnt have this sort of synergy. These guys compliment each others playing very delicately. Top watch. Top tune.
I don't know why people say, "you should just give up, you'll never be this good..." In reality, there is vast repertoire of classical and flamenco pieces, that even the top 2% of guitarist will never get to play in their lifetime. So, just do what you do and be happy!
yep, that's right... i just wanna add a bit... flamenco comes from various cultures that have inhabited spain over the ages, it takes a piece of the music from the groups that have made espana home... generally we call a style such as the farruca, solea, or sevillana a palo, each palo follows a strict rythmic meter or in some cases more than one rythmic meter called compas...
I'm always excited with John Williams, he will always be an open mind musician that never dichotomy a music that should be in this or that like the old fart segovia did! His duet with his best flamenco guitarist mate Paco Pena is always be wonderful! I love with those two humble musicians playing together!
@bobbyatopk also, from what I know, all the farrucas are in minor mode, rather than phrygian, which is the standard mode for rumbas and other flamenco sub-genres.
Que belleza de canción. Interesante ver a un guitarrista classico colaborar con uno de flamenco. Segovia nunca lo hubiera hecho. Habrán hecho algún cd, por casualidad? Una cascada de notas que placenteramente asalta los oidos con su belleza.
Great video of a beautiful Farruca. Original by Sabicas and his cousin Mario Escudero. Paco Pena does a great version with Eduardo Falu (CD) and in concert with Elliot Fisk.
Thank you very much for putting it here. It reminds me in some places of the farruca by Sabicas called Los Caireles. Anyway magnificent so again gracias. Saludos Tomás
Well, Paco Pena is called the ambassador of flamenco, and has done a lot to structurize it etc, and is more of the traditional type. It is a great way to learn to understand the different forms etc, because he stays really close to it. Paco de Lucia on the other hand has his own style, somewhat more free. Both are great guitarists, it is a matter of taste. I prefer Paco de Lucia, but I am gratefull to Paco Pena for the work he has done, and have his lesson book.
You might have skipped on geography and history classes back in school ; but if you didn't, then don't call yourself names . They tend to stick around for much longer than you think... Y Ole!
Paco has recorded this duet with Eliot Fisk. There is also a youtube video of a live performance - the NPR Tiny Desk recital. Amazingly many of the pieces on the Pena/Fisk album were learnt by ear and there is some improvisation.
I met with Paco Pena in 1995 ..he is wonder person and down to earth, while John is not.. (regretfully)..and paco's guitar tone is unique and very beautiful spanish caracteristic..
One thing I learnt about art is people associate you with an style and become your follower because of that. It is like following a religion, politics and sports team. If you go into another territory it not only changes your image but make the other art look bad. If I want to listen to flamenco I really want it to be played by authentic players with flamenco guitar in flamenco environment. If JW plays it, no mater how good, it looks fake to me. Also there are some other technical issues. For example if you watch him play the golpe it was as it tap the guitar without any feeling, and I was worried he may damage his guitar as his is not protected by the golpe pad. Flamenco guitars have a lower bridge and faster action. It takes a while to get use to it.
ما شا الله بسيار زيبا بود هر چند سبك دو نوازنده بسيار متفاوت است، معمولا نوازنده هاى موسيقى كلاسيك مثل جان ويليامز يا جولين بريم در بداهه نوازى و فلامنكو خيلى متبحر نيستند، بنده ٧،٦ پيش ايران بودم و اگر ميدانستم اين بزرگ مرد فلامنكو كنسرت دارد حتما ميرفتم، افسوس :(
they are a little different in taste, but i would say de lucia is more well known than paco pena. Just as a note the second person in this video is actually John Williams.

The whole universe exploded when John Williams and Paco Pena played this piece together.
Sensational ........ real music bravo.... when was the last time anyone saw this type of thing on TV....
Impressive !! The Best. I do not think anyone else has been able to repeat this perfection.
I have had the privilege of seeing John Williams live at Birmingham Symphony hall, and it is only when you watch and hear these guys live you realise just how brilliant they are.
WOW! Just WOW! This is so beautifully amazing! Great harmonies!

impresionante este video, maravilloso, no me salen mas palabras de admiración, impresionante.-
Hermosísima melodía. Felicitaciones para estos maestros. Ojalá fueran muchos los que apreciaran estas melodías
I interviewed him yesterday, and his English these days is excellent! He lives in London a lot of the time.
Not better than Segovia's youngest son... have you heard him speak ?
Thanks much for posting this ... I'm always impressed by the range of Williams' willingness to explore all kinds of music for the guitar ... and Paco Pena ... such a supreme talent ...wonderful!
Beautiful, I listen to this daily now.

Just awesome. What a great flamenco duet.
Two people playing tremolo at the same time makes my head explode. Amazing stuff though.
This is note for note from the old Decca LP by Sabicas and Escudero.
+Armağan Aydın Aydoğdu www.amazon.com/The-Fantastic-Guitars-Sabicas-Escudero/dp/B005Q46HSO
Yes.You can still buy it on CD.
This is so good.
I'm always excited with John Williams, he will always be an open mind musician that never dichotomy a music that should be in this or that like the old fart segovia did!
His duet with his best flamenco guitarist mate Paco Pena is always be wonderful!
I love with those two humble musicians playing together!
Stunning.
The harmony tremolo part was lovely.
in questo video si nota la apertura mentale di tutti e due a fare music insieme
Not often you see Williams with his geet on his right knee. Good to see. I'm Gonna learn flamenco
My brain just melted. One day I'll play like Paco.
Wow, great stuff!
Man I just love the Farruca ...
@bobbyatopk also, from what I know, all the farrucas are in minor mode, rather than phrygian, which is the standard mode for rumbas and other flamenco sub-genres.

fucking amazing

wow!
they lived close to each other.....
both = virtuosic
Wow, this is beautiful. It has inspired me and I want to learn t.
BRILLIANT!
epic, can't enough of that piece!
Its nice to see a classical guitarist playing on the right leg for a change.
Thank you very much for putting it here. It reminds me in some places of the farruca by Sabicas called Los Caireles. Anyway magnificent so again gracias.

Williams is very good at playing this piece, even if his repertoire often doesn't include flamenco pieces.
Wonderful! Two gods of guitar.
Well, Paco Pena is called the ambassador of flamenco, and has done a lot to structurize it etc, and is more of the traditional type. It is a great way to learn to understand the different forms etc, because he stays really close to it.
Paco de Lucia on the other hand has his own style, somewhat more free.
Both are great guitarists, it is a matter of taste. I prefer Paco de Lucia, but I am gratefull to Paco Pena for the work he has done, and have his lesson book.
Thanks for posting!
I was also present at one of these concerts of the 2 masters in the 70s. It was a good mix.
CU Andi
2 masters together! This is super! 5*****
thanks for sharing! :D
It's amazing how John Williams can play flamenco and classical very very well.
You might have skipped on geography and history classes back in school ; but if you didn't, then don't call yourself names . They tend to stick around for much longer than you think... Y Ole!

+SueRosalie Could you please share it? i couldnt find it

He's still playing! Just search for videos of him - look for ones from 'The Seville Concert' especially. He has to be one of the best guitarists ever!
Bravo 👍👍👍
really awesome
This is freaking gooooooooooooooooood!!!!!
Wonderful!!!
this farruca is how it should really sound...........it i s the right way to play farruca,,,,,,,,
When we listened to true music ...
esta si es una cancion flamenca jonh wlliams es un gran guitarrista
Esta pieza tiene unas partes que creo que se basan en el “Qué bonita es mi niña” de Francisco García del Val, que por ejemplo, el Consorcio versionó.
I wonder why JW does not play more flamenco [farucca and other less abstract pieces maybe]?? I think he has the ability!

Algunos años después grabaron una versión de la farruca con Inti Illimani que es maravillosa.
¡Maestros!
Can you send me the link to listen to the new recording of Faruka, please?
