Carlo Domeniconi: Koyunbaba (First recording 1985)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Koyunbaba is the most famous guitar piece of the great Italian composer and classical guitarist Carlo Domeniconi (born in Cesena, Italy - February 20, 1947), the word comes from the name of a man who was a saint who lived in the city of Osmancık in Çorum Province, Turkey in the 15th century. Koyunbaba (whose epithet means "sheep father") was a shepherd in Bursa in northwestern Turkey, his descendants who still reside in the area.
Musically, apart from the amazing and translucent beauty, one could notice the Turkish influence, where the guitar tuning is original, in C# or E min:
E C# G# C# G# C#.
An important feature of his music is the constant search for new viewpoints and a continual exploration of the guitar. The music is tailor-made for the instrument, idiomatic.
"The time of the self-deprecating ‘classical’ guitar is over. It is time to see the guitar as it really is: a strong, sonorous instrument with a richness of colour that knows no equal." (Carlo Domeniconi)
I had the opportunity twice to hear him play Koyunbaba in live performances in Istanbul and even had a friendly talk. Carlo is not only a composer but a great mind... Long live maestro
RIP those who haven't found this song 🙏🏼😇
Like a spirit blow. Mille merci 😊R
Easily one of the most beautiful pieces for solo guitar ever written
Somehow this reminds me of Egberto Gismonti playing his pieces complete with imperfections, being very free with tempos, sounding improvisational, authentic, immediate. A special magic, and captured on a recording.
So lucky that I’ve listen to him playing Koyunbaba live in Ankara, Turkiye many years ago. Unforgettable!
Wow. How fortunate!!
nice!! must have been quite a thing!!
It’s a shame this recording doesn’t get the exposure that others do. By far, it has more musical subtlety than any other performances of it.
This broke my brain. Have been listening to LiJui’s version my whole life and now I listen to this..keep expecting it to go in one direction and he skips my expectation and dances around with all this subtle complexity..oh they’re his phrasings I can tell that this is coming from the source. What an interesting guy. Got a headache now.
Could you show the LiJui's version to us, please?

I came across her maybe 20 years ago, ppl keep mentioning John Williams’s version, I’ve never heard it.
@@carfamily5701 I've been hearing to LiJie's version for more than 10 years now, it's ingrained in my brain by now
Bende ayni senin gibiyim
It's on RUclips - well worth the listen.

Damn it!!!! THIS is how this piece is played!!! Thank you
Beethoven, Bach, Mozart .. . . . they are dead. But this genious is alive. Respect to the master
This is a wonderful version, so much more tender, full of color and expression, nuance... best version I've heard. I guess if this is played by Domeniconi, then he knows what it is supposed to sound like..
Yes, It's played by Carlo Domeniconi, taken by Selected Works: "25 years Koyunbaba" - copyright 2009 musica - ex - tempora www.edition-ex-tempore.de/
@@antoniodehonestis3536 I think his original recording has a tenderness that most other guitarists aren't hearing. So much "mechanical" playing of music these days, without, in my opinion, understanding of what is being played, and thus, lacking the emotion...
@@shanefrancis8947 I agree.
Nothing like the mind and heart of a composer behind his own instrument or in front of his own orchestra …
The birth of a legenday piece of music.
Με τον ποιμένα του ντομενικονι έκλεισε τα μάτια του ο αγαπημένος μου.του άρεσε πολύ και το έπαιζε και ο ίδιος στην κιθάρα του που σίγησε για πάντα.καθε που το ακούω μου σπαραζει την καρδιά!!
Thank you, for the appreciation
great music! Masterpiece for Guitar! Dream Player!Bravissimo! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤
This has given me goosebumps! The best recording of this piece so far! It's very nice to listen to the composer playing his own composition.👍
Paulo Martelli has been my 'goto' for this piece for ages. So happy this showed up in my recommendations.
First listen through. I can't get over how different it is. Its just amazing, there is so much extra going on.
This has a unique tuning which gives it that awesome resonance..a bit like Celtic tuning
Unbelievable...💓💓💓💕
Thanks for Sharing this master piece from the master! No one plays is better.
Geniale!
Bir çok an var aklımda kırmızı koltukta koyun baba çaldığın. Unutmaktan korktuğum anlar. Senin olduğun yaşadığın ve güldüğün...
Koyunbaba is greek
Beautiful, by far my favorite composer ever ❤️
Excellent.
i've heard john william's version so much that this feels like a completely new take on koyunbaba ahahah
also best sound quality so far
Williams has wonderful tone, but Domeniconi's version, like you said, is just a totally different thing... Domeniconi's is different from all the other interpretations. Whatever Domeniconi was feeling when he wrote, then played this, is so felt in the playing, the nuance, colors, shades, the "distance." This version TAKES me some place. No other version does. Nobody else, to me, anyway, seems to get this, to hear this in Domeniconi's playing. They run right through it, and mostly, just play the notes. They don't play the "heart". And, Domeniconi's trills are insane...
This performance is better than John Williams’ version.
JW’s version is beautiful and technically better but obviously Domeniconi had a better idea of what he wanted the piece to sound like. The JW version sounds like an impressionistic music but this one reminds me of my trips to Turkey and listening to their local instruments.
Very naturally playing,as if improvised
Amazing 🌹🌹🌹❤
🙏👍🌸🌹🌷
GOOD OK
Where the hell can I listen to the rest of the album this piece was first released on?

What did they do and when? And do you know what Italians (Venetians, Genoese) did to Turks?🤔

u know what italians did to Europe? bankrupted Europe. Italians also caused WW2. worst people ever
That was a long time ago. People grow and evolve from the previous conflicts
@@Kenan-Z yeah give them food latin alphabet to write and read cause turkish decided to forget their prime language italians give turkish architecture taught them how to drive democracy introduced sex to women
only
list goes on
My least favorite guitar composition ever. I probably would like it a bit more if it wasn't for all the people blindly following john williams and playing whatever he plays
This statement makes no sense. There is a whole new generation of virtuosos out there, who plays a lot of different music and cares nothing about what the older generation played. On top of that, a lot of players have played this piece, not just Williams. Williams is mostly known for having made iconic recordings of Albeniz and Scarlatti and for making Augustine Barrios a household name among guitarist. This is the composer playing his own piece, that's not "following" Williams in any sense of the word.
@@Pladderkasse I'm not commenting on this specific recording, but the general trend of young, clueless guitarists playing it. While williams wasn't the only one that's played this piece, he certainly contributed a lot to its popularity. Of course the new generation of virtuosos don't play it, they are virtuosos with mature tastes. I'm talking about your average music school student being forced to play this (by conventional western music standards) dreadful piece because they or their teachers don't know any better.
@@Rodrigo-me6nq In my experience, nobody gets forced to play anything. That is antiquated pedagogy. Students are encouraged to find out, what they gravitate to musically, because it both makes the art of teaching easier, the student more motivated and is an early foundation for building a repertoire. If anyone is forced to playing something, then it's a case of a lousy teacher or a bad institution. The whole idea is like 30 years in the past.
@@Rodrigo-me6nq HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHSHHS! You made my day. I hope you play better than your mind works, but I really doubt it. Stay strong, dude! 60 more years and life will be over for you.
@@terryvanced7850 lmao i probably won't make it that far
