I completely agree, better than old recordings of barrios himself, better interpretation and lack of very subtle minor mistakes vidovic and john williams make. no one can hold a candle to this performance.
Not only is this a brilliant interpretation, but he's an incredibly kind person. I had a lesson a year and a half before my audition at CCPA and he did it for free. He invited us to come to his house for the lesson, and when we arrived he came to the door in gym shorts and a white shirt. He was wonderful, and I got so much out of the one hour lesson we had. He even called us after we returned home to talk about my options. For someone so talented, it's a miracle he's as down-to-earth as he is.
Actually I have never heard anybody els to have this dynamic range and sublime control over tempo in this piece as Denis, and I own several hundred of recordings and have heard countless youtube recordings.
@@sargijapunk Yes, despite the fact that he plays it faster than most other performances I've seen, he still has such mastery of tone, tempo, volume and balance between melody and harmony. Moreso than many who play this piece slower. I do think it's a tad bit too fast but I still I love this performance
I don't know why there is too much dislike on this video. .!! They can do better they think? ? A Million like for this guitarist. this is my master piece
I'm a classical guitarist and have watched this video multiple times as I am currently learning this piece to add to my repertoire, but this guy is the best I've found on youtube as to how this piece is meant to be played. He is a real craftsman of the guitar! So perfect, I hope to one day reach even close to this level.. For now I will just listen and enjoy the beautiful music played by a real master :)
I am 15 right now and I played Julia Florida by Mangore a few years ago. I put down the classical guitar for a couple years and now I am learning this piece. It inspired me to continue playing classical guitar. I didn't realize how much I missed it until now :)
Totally agree, in all RUclips and live performances I've been, I have not encountered such a masterful interpretation. This master of the art plays it the way it's mean to be played, or even better, I'd summon a specialist to judge that.
the three parts of the La Catedral, in a single film, have been on youtube for years and they suddenly dissapered at a point. I hereby salute the republishing of the whole suite in a single film! Thanks!
The most beautiful guitar piece i've ever found... The most impressive interpretation i've ever heard.. I have listened for your song some years ago, and i'm still stunned in front of your mastering. Thank you man for this performance !
As an amateur classical guitarist (see my channel) I've probably watched this 100x. This performance is masterful and as close to perfection as can be achieved. A monumental effort; I don't know why it hasn't been viewed millions of times.
His right hand scare the shit out of me, IT S NOT MOVING, i don t know how many time and tears he put in his work to achieve this, but this is beyond the impressive
perfect execution, perfect changes in dynamics and not a single missed note in the 3rd movement; his performance is the true religious experience lol wow!
Exceptional, fantastic, amazing, have no words to describe this... God and angel in yours finger and in your mind... Tank you for this. You exceptional
Именно ваше выступление заслуживает высшей оценки. Сколько слушаю и с каждым прослушиванием все больше нравится. Обидно видеть отрицательные отзывы. На что я однажды и сделал комментарий на слушателя. Уточняю, т.к. этот отзыв воспринял играющий гитарист в свой адрес. При красивом исполнении только завистники могут голосовать "не нравиться". Удачи, ждем новые исполнения.
Talking about interpretation - I think anybody with a ear must have noticed this guy's interpretation is one of the BEST, no matter who you compare to~~ Bravo~~~
I added this video on my favourites since it is on RUclips, can't be atleast 1 week without seeing it and every time Denis Azabagic amazes me with his mastery on the classical guitar. Trully a genious, pure soul in his playing. Simply Amazing!
Bravo Denis ! Je suis fana de Pio Mangore Barrios , c'est une des meilleures version de la "Catedral" que j'ai entendue avec celle de Kyuhee Park, un vrai plaisir de vous écouter, Merci
Good Holy Green Earth of God, why have I not heard of you yet? This is AMAZING!!! Words are not enough for how incredible this performance is. Not anywhere near enough. I love this piece and up to now, David Russell was the only one to put tears in my eyes when he plays it. But now......who can compare perfection to perfection? This is a prayer, and a masterful, one-of-a-kind performance. Thank you for the inspiration and beauty...thank you, thank you, and thank you yet again! BRAVO!
Wow ! I´m speechless. Absolutely perfect . The best performance I´ve ever seen . I wish my father was alive to watch it . He was an amateur classic guitar player and La catedral was one his favorite . Congrats !
I secretly constituted my arbitrary TOP50 of classical guitar on RUclips. So many wonders. And His Excellence Denis Azabagic arrived in first place with this amazing Catedral.
A great guitarrist said once, after someone asked him what makes a good guitarrist and he answered: "Be a good person" That's true!! In order to express like this man, you have to be very sincere!!
This is incredible. Its like every note is a stroke of a paintbrush, and through the course of a piece he paints a picture. One of my new goal is to at some point in my life be half as talented as this guy. Amazing.
ive been playing the spanish guitar for over 29 years and have seen so many performances in that times, but OMG this guy has a real flare for feeling and expression in his performance. 5 stars big time! such soft and expressive tune.
I met Denis at one of his concerts in Reno, NV about 10 years ago. I was a guitar student in my undergraduate program then and he was really nice and gave me tips about how he does his nails, etc. I was impressed with his performance and down to earth personality.
I saw him in a recital in Austin texas, USA a few years ago. No word can describe the experience. I found myself at times almost crying, at others full of jubilation. Also a few times I was on the verge of bursting into uncontrolled laughter because his playing, musicality, were just unbelievable, a miracle. I have been checking what country he will tour to see if I will get another chance to hear him play the guitar again.
Hace tiempo que buscaba una interpretación tan impecable como esta de La Catedral. Denis Azabagic un verdadero gran Maestro ... seguramente Agustín Barrios (si viviera) pagaría su entrada para ver a este guitarrista inerpretar su obra. saludos a todos desde Chile :D
I have listened to many versions of this piece now and I still come back to this interpretation and consider it the best I have heard, it is beautiful.
realmente he quedado deslumbrado en la interpretación de esta monumental obra de arte del maestro Agustín Barrios Mangore " excelente interpretación" "felicitaciones"!! hace años que interpreto esta pieza pero como este caballero ....no .. genio absoluto !!
Bravo, bravo, bravo!!!! Meus parabéns amado músico. Não me canso de lhe ouvir tocar e sentir com você através de sua expressões faciais e corporais o quanto o sons das cordas do violão lhe comove; e desta maneira todos nós. Uma inspiração para mim. Obrigado
This is an outstanding performance by a true virtuoso. If I ever have the chance to hear him give a live performance I will make every effort to do so. Maestro Azabagic is definitely among the top strata of classical guitarists in the world today.
This is still my favorite performance of la Catedral. I’ve been coming back here every so often for years to hear it again.
Agreed Felicity. I haven't been back in years and...woah!
Same
same here as well. was Inspiration since 12 years
the same! ♡☆
Mine too!
The most impressive executed "La Catedral" I have ever seen, among over 100s of performances. Simply Magnificent.
+Bobby Fischer agreed!
I completely agree, better than old recordings of barrios himself, better interpretation and lack of very subtle minor mistakes vidovic and john williams make. no one can hold a candle to this performance.
Well he did win like fifteen competitions.
Tout à fait d'accord !
agree

After scouring RUclips in search of a good performance and satisfactory sound of this piece, I reached the final station. All respect and thanks.
Best La Catedral I've heard in my entire life. This is some serious talent and technique just Wow
no way - its been played too rushed
Actually I have never heard anybody els to have this dynamic range and sublime control over tempo in this piece as Denis, and I own several hundred of recordings and have heard countless youtube recordings.
This is my reference to La Catedral! It's too good!
Always a pleasure to listen and watch it

Esecuzione più bella e perfetta che io abbia mai sentito.Grande maestro Denis Azabagic.Auguri.
antonio tota
Way too much moving around that is distracting from the music. Very solid technique.
The best i have ever heard. Most people struggle with the 3rd section. He plays it with ease. Well done !
I don't know why there is too much dislike on this video. .!! They can do better they think? ?
A Million like for this guitarist. this is my master piece
because the prelude is too fast, perhaps .
Ángel Durden No ! It's that your so called brain is too slow !
The prelude was also a bit too fast to my taste but it clearly not justifies a dislike. That guy is clearly a master. Would love to take a lesson

This is the best playing the "La Catedral" what I ever seen!
Fantastic!!
Your right hand so powerful!!
Eu prefiro John Willians
the three parts of the La Catedral, in a single film, have been on youtube for years and they suddenly dissapered at a point. I hereby salute the republishing of the whole suite in a single film!
Thanks!
Mr Azabagić, you are simply fantastic, thank you.
One of the best plays that song. Few can play it without rhythm problems.
I watched this video 14 years ago. Still the best La Catedral now
The most beautiful guitar piece i've ever found... The most impressive interpretation i've ever heard.. I have listened for your song some years ago, and i'm still stunned in front of your mastering. Thank you man for this performance !

Qué bárbaro!!!
Alguna vez logré interpretar ésta joya con los ojos cerrados, sin embargo, me quedé a años luz!!!!
10 estrellas!!!!
La piu'bella interpretazione che abbia mai ascoltato!

Magnifique, bravo, quel voyage
How could 40 people dislike this? One of the best that I have seen and heard.
I'm am also a guitarist (classical) and I think this is the best la catedral I have ever heard
TheWolfsCreed Ditto !
TheWolfsCreed I agree!
TheWolfsCreed I agree!
No no, we are not a classical guitarist. That is
A virtuoso performance.
There are no words to describe this performance. It's Fantastic !!! It's powerful and passionate, yet flowing and graceful. It is transcendant.

Absolutely outstanding. Sublime. Superb. Bravo!!
This is the most flawless performance I’ve ever seen in my life and the intensity in your playing is mind blowing!!!!
How come 29 ppl dont like this??? This is a true master playing. Noone comes even close to play this with so much passion.

Clean, gorgeous playing. Flawless tone.
This simply exemplary performance: here there is all - both feeling of style, and a sound, both phrasing, and technics! Bravo!
Excelent!!! I don´t undestand how (some proud persons) doesn´t like it. Bravo Maestro!
Mis respetos para este Sr.
Su interpretación, felling, todo, es simplemente perfecto.
De todas las veces que la eh escuchado, ésta es la mejor!!!
Denis, this is simply gorgeous. Artistry is wholly appropriate where you are concerned.

Fantastic!!!
Absolutely perfect.
Muy bueno. Cuanta música !!!! felicitaciones..
One of the best!! Awesome!!!!
Hace tiempo que buscaba una interpretación tan impecable como esta de La Catedral.
Denis Azabagic un verdadero gran Maestro ... seguramente Agustín Barrios (si viviera) pagaría su entrada para ver a este guitarrista inerpretar su obra. saludos a todos desde Chile :D
It has been many years I saw this performance on RUclips; now I look & listen to it again and it still amazes me!
I have listened to many versions of this piece now and I still come back to this interpretation and consider it the best I have heard, it is beautiful.
god damn i've heard this so many times, and its still amazing
These dynamics are breathtaking.
i love this piece and that was outstanding.
Bravo
Una de las interpretaciones más limpias y finas que he visto..

ultimate master for this barios piece ...truly up among the top 3 nice
This is an outstanding performance by a true virtuoso. If I ever have the chance to hear him give a live performance I will make every effort to do so. Maestro Azabagic is definitely among the top strata of classical guitarists in the world today.
impecable hermano... el tercer movimiento fue magistral... bravo
Best "Allegro Solemne" I've heard so far --other than the Maestro himself
Soy guitarrista flamenco y es mágico escuxa esta pieza tan bien tocada
I've heard old recordings of barrios playing this, Azabajic is actually better.
Kazuhito Yamashita also plays that section amazingly
Obra maestra,genialmente interpretada,gracias y felicitaciones!!!
