Dude shreds the classical guitar rule book for posture by flinging his body all over the place, flying left elbow, overextending both the right and left hands, hunching his shoulders, etc. and produces one of the most amazing performances ever. So much for rule books!
The history of the guitar is divided into two periods. Before 1984 and after 1984. After the Toronto recital the guitar is different in the world. The genius Kazuhito Yamashita !!
Totally agree! was a before and after, the guitar was transformed and showed an orchestral sound dimension, unthinkable not only for that time but for our days. All that came about thanks to the genius of the master yamashita
Lo escuche al viejo cadtillo por. Segovia excelente es otra interpretacion. Como.mantiene la. Sexta en re. Constante sin comparar. Suenan disti ntos. Muy buenos los dos. Guitarristas.
of course I know him very well. At that time Andrés Segovia was also so amasied his performace too. Andrés Segovia was an one of very famouse guitarlist of the world , you know. Of course he was Spanish. And I heard his performance when he was 89 years old while he was visiting in Japan. That was the last visit of Japan. So, it means I also was the very rare person who knows his (Segovia) performance on my own ears.
I listen to this several times times a year and each time it's never any less unbelievable to me. I have not heard anyone else play this piece come anywhere remotely close to this.
@@user-vxymoqmI have only just discovered Kazuhito Yamashita. In all my 49 years on this planet, I have never encountered anything this extraordinary. The way he transposed this music to guitar is the purest form of genius. Kazuhito Yamashita is the pride of Japan and an international treasure.
Can’t believe just now through RUclips have we heard of Kazuhito. I guess if you weren’t around in the 70s or 80s you missed him. Why did we learn of others but not this guy? Amazing virtuoso!
I remember clearly when this came out. Every so called concert guitarist or critic said it had to be fake, done in a studio couldn't be done by one person. They looked for places they said where impossible. This video shows how it's possible to be able to play this piece. It reminds me of how Barrios must have been viewed by establishment, so different, able improvise on stage. Yamashita was and is incredible. The western prejudice decided he couldn't be because he wasn't one of them. Here is the proof
To build on the last comment , I came to this performance via a video about him where the narrator explained that Kazuhito was getting shade thrown at him by the western musical community and media. ...ask Nikola Tesla what it means to be a genius among haters at that level.
Back in about 1993 I found his New World Symphony in the bargain bin at a Warehouse record store. $.99, checked it out totally randomly, probably my best CD purchase ever.
Absolutely the greatest guitar performance of all time. There is beauty and perfection in all aspects. At this late stage in my life I didn't think I could be so profoundly touched by a performer. I was wrong!!! Thank you, Thank you!!!
A man possessed. His complete immersion into the music and the guitar itself is incredible. His technique is phenomenal, especially his right hand. Not many can extract this much sound from a classical guitar.
Beethoven once commented when he first heard Mauro Giuliani play that the guitar is "a miniature orchestra in itself". Giuliani was also a cellist and actually played cello for the premiere of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony.
This is, by far, the most amazing guitar performance ever. I'm not hormone-struck 16 year-old, nor even a "fan" of Mr Yamashita. I hardly have any of his recordings. I usually listen to other classical guitarists - still, he attempted here something that is simply impossible, and I don't know if this achievement can be ever re-produced. Nothing is lost. Nothing is diminished. Nothing is simplified. This piano piece was so rich and polyphonic - that it was translated to ORCHESTRA and there was "enough content" for all sections of the orchestra. What. On Guitar???? That's simply impossible. I see. I hear. I stand in awe, I enjoy the music I love so much. and I keep muttering "Impossible"
Why I never heard of him? In classical guitar the name most popular associated with it is Andres Segovia. If more guitar players had knowledge of Kuzuhito Yamashita I think there would be more guitarist playing the Classical Guitar.
I'm a student of all things guitar and music for decades but this guitarist really is his own category. He blazes the notes then strides with technique and amazement.
There’s no competition… I feel sick and spellbound at the same time. Truly the greatest player I’ve ever seen and heard. Just discovered this esoteric 8th wonder today. Technically I can’t rate and compare anyone even close to him. Playing fit for the Gods….
OMG! I just heard of him today on the tonebase channel and had to find this performance, it's so good for the soul. He truly is the greatest player of our time. Cheers from an old Las Vegas drummer!!
My God! He just “killed” everyone ! Such staggering command of his instrument. He just stamped his mark as if to say “ this is how it should be played”
Saw Maestro play this live in LA back in 90(?), never have been the same since hearing him, I think maybe it was the pinky tremolo that made me lose my mind.😳
Yea, playing while holding a constant pianissimo tremolo with the pinky. That's some superhuman dexterity. Most people I know never even use the pinky!
I’ve waited for a better quality video here on RUclips for so long, and to think Kazuhito Yamashita himself brought it to the public... thank you very much! Now I can finally try to understand a bit of the right hand technique employed, especially that one finger tremolo. Wish I could have watched this live, but the concert took place long before I was born.
That is AMAZING! Totally out of this world! Really, this guy has to be from another planet, no one ever came close to this level of mastership! Technically crazzy good, BUT always musically perfect and justified!
Phenomenal! The bright variety of sounds he was creating was fantastic. You don't miss any orchestral instrument - he brings all the nuances with just 6 strings.
Thank you maestro for showing us how far we can take this small and deeply flawed instrument, if we put the hard work! This is just incredible: the technique for one, but most of all, the musicality, the dynamics, the different sounds possible, the intensity! Such an underrated musician and guitar hero.
This is incredible, i am totally amazed. There is SO much going on here. I can't believe i found this only in 2024, but that's why i love internet and youtube. What a genius, thank you !
Pictures at an Exhibition is such a wonderful immersive piece and I have never seen someone bring it to life so well by just using a single instrument. I can almost feel the gnome staring at me, crouched behind a stalagmite with classical guitar in hand!!! Amazing!!!
Heard of this piece only shortly after you posted this vid. Ive been obsessed ever since. This has gotta be the most impressive musical performance ive ever seen in my life. Easily among my top favorite guitarists now.
No puedo expresar cuánto me emociona esta interpretación cada vez que la escucho. Me siento como un niño. ¡Muchas gracias por compartir esta joya histórica!
BRAVISIMO ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Speaking strictly for me, this is by far the GREATEST art music acoustic guitar concert ever. Is like the "Woodstock" for the instrument. Your words of encouragement still resonate in me: がんばってください ! ! !
Потрясающе! До прослушивания / просмотра этого ролика даже не мог представить, что ТАК можно играть на классической гитаре. - Это нечто запредельное. Я, конечно, не профессиональный музыкант, но люблю слушать музыку, в том числе гитарную, и то, как играет господин Kazuhito Yamashita - это совершенно поразительно на всех уровнях моего разумения: и в плане техники исполнения (и звукоизвлечения), и в плане артистизма, и в целом - как интерпретация музыкального произведения. Браво!
Grandiosa, Magistral, interpretacion de esta obra de Mussorsky con una guitarra !!! Técnica guitarristica sobrehumana !!! Una interpretacion histórica !!!
unbelievable the range of emotions he conveys on a single guitar, I almost teared up multiple times, especially around 26:45 and 28:02 when he straight up turned his guitar into an angelic choir
None of the guitarists who play this arrangement are able to play as dynamically as Yamashita. Because this song played on the guitar is playing in their brains. The sounds of an orchestra must be playing in Yamashita's head.
Yamashita here has given the single greatest solo guitar 🎸 Masterclass performance I’ve ever seen in any idiom. And I have seen many great ones, i.e., Holdsworth, Pass, Gatton, Williams, DeLucia, etc. His musicality, technique, dynamics , and stamina are simply beyond words. Possessed by the hands of a Higher Power playing a musical instrument. 😮
Holdsworth's 16 Men of Tain uses Coltrane's approach used on Giant Steps. Planing holds over a series of intervals, then after an interlude of a single minor major 7 chord, he repeats the intervals series at a different place in the cycle of 5ths. Absolute genius.
Great what he is able to get out in that domain and in the one of tonal colours as well - out of an, yes, in the end frugal, wooden box with a couple of strings and some frets on it.
This marvelous musician has opened my eyes to the fact that it isn’t just the piano that can come close to reproducing the sound of an entire orchestra, but a mere 6 strings stretched out on a fretboard over a resonant “box” of wood-a guitar-can do the same thing! Oh, but it takes so much skill and dexterity and musicianship to make it happen. Sometimes the word, amazed, is just too weak to express one’s reaction. Astonished comes a little bit closer, but can’t quite get there.
最高レベルのパフォーマンス。サムライギターです。このようなパフォーマンスは音符で演奏するのではなく、自分自身、楽器、素材との本当の戦いです。そしてこの戦いに勝利したのは和仁だった。私はそのような印象を残したギタリスト、ロシア出身のアレクセイ・ジマコフしか知りませんでしたが、彼はあまりにも早くに私たちのもとを去りました。そして和仁さんのコンサートに行くことができました！
Guitarra Samurai Coincido ❤
The guitar: I didn't even know I could do that.
Right...that guitar is in shock...like "im traveling the universe in this guys hands"..lol
That is very funny. Yes you are right!
Only in the hands of Yamashita, admittedly.
haha well said!

Only slaves follow rules.
And tuning in between all those!
@@manariwawithout skipping a beat
rules are for sheeps
Are you that amazed at the fact that most prestigious musicians throw the rules out the window? Because its pretty common
The history of the guitar is divided into two periods. Before 1984 and after 1984. After the Toronto recital the guitar is different in the world. The genius Kazuhito Yamashita !!
How true. But it is also true that nobody else has ever reached this height since 1984.
Totally agree! was a before and after, the guitar was transformed and showed an orchestral sound dimension, unthinkable not only for that time but for our days. All that came about thanks to the genius of the master yamashita
AMEN!
Actually, it was 1980 when he premiered this song in Chiba, Japan. The LP record was released in 1981.
paco de lucia.
paco and yamashita are from other galaxies even so nice of them to come and visit us!@@KMT9999
This is the upper limit of classical guitar playing for human.
Who do you call human here? This is godly rendition.
I agree~! He arranged just 18 yrs!
you are saying he is Human? 😮
It’s a door that reveals the infinite possibilities of what we call a guitar! It’s infinitely more than that!!!
This is probably THE most amazing classical guitar performance I've ever seen. Can't imagine what it must have been like to see it live.
Buen instrumento. Con proyeccion. Y un excelente i nterprete.

The miracle is that someone recorded this on video for the future and we are actually watching it.
人間にこんな演奏ができるのかちょっと信じられない気持ちで聞いています。完璧という言葉が陳腐に思える位、何かを超越しています。

Back in about 1993 I found his New World Symphony in the bargain bin at a Warehouse record store. $.99, checked it out totally randomly, probably my best CD purchase ever.
Even after 45 years no other guitarist plays it better than him.
He gives me the feeling only select master pianists give me, that I’m hearing a world of orchestration and a total dissolution into the music.
Well said.
It’s like watching Rachmaninov play, inspiring and humbling.
Absolutely the greatest guitar performance of all time. There is beauty and perfection in all aspects. At this late stage in my life I didn't think I could be so profoundly touched by a performer. I was wrong!!! Thank you, Thank you!!!

I would say "no one else" rather than not many :)
I’ve never seen a tremolo like it
it doesn't sound like a guitar, it sounds like a full orchestra... and choir!
Bravo..that's when you know you are witnessing a major achievement.
Beethoven once commented when he first heard Mauro Giuliani play that the guitar is "a miniature orchestra in itself". Giuliani was also a cellist and actually played cello for the premiere of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony.

On Guitar???? That's simply impossible.
I see. I hear. I stand in awe, I enjoy the music I love so much. and I keep muttering "Impossible"
You should check out Lenny Breau. He was on this level but as an improviser.
Why I never heard of him? In classical guitar the name most popular associated with it is Andres Segovia. If more guitar players had knowledge of Kuzuhito Yamashita I think there would be more guitarist playing the Classical Guitar.
鳥肌が立ち続けました。ギターのみとは思えない。山下さん自身の奥底に惹きこまれるような引力があります。ギターの演奏でここまで感情的に揺さぶられたのは初めてです。奇跡と言って良いほどの名演です。是非その場でお聞きしたかった。
If this wasn't captured on video, no one would have believed it possible...
I still remember the tremendous experience of seeing his live in Tokyo decades ago.
RUclipsでこれまで何百回も見てきました。見る度に感動し涙を流します。最高画質と音質のご提供をしてくださり、ありがとうございます。
An incredible genius who is several frets beyond anyone else!! The great Yamashita!!!
Это потрясающе, это великолепно, это виртуозно, это совершенно, это гениально! Огромное спасибо от соотечественника Великого Русского композитора!
この人のことを全く知らなくて、さっき初めて動画を見ました。
「マジで全部やるの！？最初のとこだけじゃなくて！？」というのが最初の感想。そして凄まじいダイナミクス。一人だけなのにオーケストラが見える。恐ろしい演奏でした。見れて良かった。そして知れて良かった。感謝です。

Total genius. I play for 33 years and have never heard of you, until today. Wow 😮
I never thought anyone could pull off Pictures on guitar, especially this well.
Bravo!
I've been a fan if Mussorgskys music since 2000 and am amazed at my discovery of Yamashita coinciding with him playing Mussorgksy.. 🤔 circle of life

@@lazycat724 Yes!!!
彼の凄さは、単なる模倣に留まらない「ギターならではの」展覧会の絵を作り出し、実際に完璧な演奏をしてみせたことだ。つまり、彼はわずかギター一本で、ラヴェル編を演奏するオーケストラと同じ土俵に立ち、編曲者としてモーリス・ラヴェルと対等に勝負していることになる。
Amazed. Articulating your own voice while honoring the composer is quite rare. ❤
神話的なプレゼンテーションがギターの歴史の前後であったことを見て聞いて、どれほどエキサイティングか。アートは常に、この惑星での人間としての私たちの最高かつ最高の表現を示します。山下マスターの感性と芸術に感謝します。人間として私たちが反対のことをしている時代です。この貴重な芸術作品をもう一度アップロードしていただきありがとうございます。乾杯!
