    If I wanted to convince someone that the classical guitar is the most beautiful of all musical instruments, I would play for him/her this RUclips video.

    I just listened to over an hour of a classical guitar competition at Siccas in Germany. Twelve classical guitarists. All Bach pieces on various guitars. Amazing guitarists, but after a few played, I was bored to death. I watched the entire competition, and no winner was declared. They were all so good I don’t now how any on could choose one over the other. Of course, an expert probably could. Then I listen to a piece such as the. one above by by Cuban composer and classical guitarist Leo Brouwer played by Alexandra. She’s part of this moment, while, to me, listening to the competition was like listening to people from a graveyard. Alexandra sparkles. She makes classical pieces out of a Beatles’ song and “Wild Mountain Time,” and even when she plays more classical pieces, the sound contemporary to me. But, of course, that’s just me. I’m hardly an expert on anything. I just know what I like to listen to. And I like listening to Alexandra.

    Felt like all my life: my dad played the classical guitar, initially I felt it was old-fashioned, he died of heart problems than I (way too young) started really listening to the stuff, realized that older music stuff was actually not only not "not cool" but, omg, the wisdom imparted! Then many years later there was the internet and there was people like Alexandra just bludgeoning me in my soul about these kind of pieces and I realized I was fortunate to relate. I'm no player myself, but I wish this stuff passes on through the generations between people who understand it because Humanity needs things like this to remember what it feels like to be a loving and feeling human. I'm exhausted by this, in a good way, cheers.

    I'm in the process of learning to play this (after first hearing you play it) and I have listened to dozens of interpretations on RUclips. Musically - tonally, audio, mixing, eq, etc yours is the best, (although I have to watch others for the fingerings :), and as a photographer your videos are exquisiite! I have watched and listened to many of them dozens of times. You are an inspiration.

    Beautiful, clear in tone quality, and one of my favorite pieces of all time! Within this piece Brouwer showcases Cuban music in a most beautiful and meloncoly way! I, as an American composer, am working towards this goal within most of my works to show others how and what life is like in the U.S. but also to touch the hearts of people beyond my borders at the very same time! This is what Brouwer has done within this piece! This is not skill or talent it's mastery!!
