I thank everyone in this poscat for taking the time to exalt the name and the work of Barrios. I think Barrios should be named the father of the classical guitar in the entire american continent.
Barrios -- the Chopin of guitar -- was a formidable musician and a very sensitive and cultivate man. Hadn't he needed to play so much to make a living, he would have left us much more, and probably remarkable compositions.
In his native paraguayan clothing he wears a headband similar to those worn by his people in deep religious ceremonies. The most important peice to those ceremonies? Is the person who guides one through the ceremony. Agustin was very skilled within that unique part of his native culture.
Great conversation! The war of Paraguay was one the most brutal and shameful episode in the history of South America. Brazil was particularly and regrettably aggressive towards Paraguay back in the days. It is also worth mentioning that modern-day Paraguay was once the center of the Guarani culture, and their influence still shapes Paraguayan identity to a level not seen in any other South American country. This is obviously something to be extremely proud of.
Yeah, I have tried to find out about the guitar in that picture. It looks way to modern for 1920 or even 1940 really. I had wondered if it was photoshopped
Regarding Segovia/musical establishment vs Barrios etc. Bream didn't play or record Barrios's music either, I don't think he suffered the same colonial prejudices or ego issues towards Barrios as Segovia probably did. The reason that both shunned the music may well have included musical and aesthetic reasons in regard to the actual music or compositional techniques.
@@rjlchristie i think the reasons bream didn’t is because he was interested in commissioning many living 20th century composers to increase the repertoire. also because john williams had already started recording barrios, bream didn’t want to follow exactly jws lead, they played duets together but they were very different players in terms of technique and approach to the guitar.
@@Tonysmithmusic Sorry but that argument doesn't convince me one iota. Firstly we are not talking about commissions but simply including it in one's repertoire. Secondly Bream playing a Barrios composition here and there wouldn't tread on Williams toes at all in terms of William's advocacy for Barrios.

Lamentablemente Agustin Barrios no fue tan valorado en vida. Incluso hoy en dia es desconocido por el paraguayo mas refinado y promedio que prefiere la música clásica, popular o polka que es mas rítmica que la obra de Agustín Barrios, pero bueno. Para gustos los colores. A mi me gusta y lo escucho cada vez que tengo necesidad de tranquilidad, paz y de imaginar un Paraguay que solo Agustín Barrios lo expresa a través de sus obras.
In El Salvador we love Mangore music, what a privilege to listen to it. "Una limosna por el amor de Dios" touches my soul.
Thank you very much, brothers of El Salvador because of the love you feel to the Great Mangoré
Your sister from El Salvador, appreciates your reply.
@@silviaberrios2068Thank you.

Barrios is more than a star he is a Legend a God

Excelente programa sobre esse ícone do violão erudito, que foi Agustin Barrios!
Amo esta entrevista y amo toda la música de Pío Barrios. I love this interview and I love all the pío Barrios music.

Terrific discussion - thanks so much!
Thanks for the upload
Genial entrevista.
Genius!
John Williams is a wonderful musician and guitarist who love to explore new music of other culture or genre.
thanks for sharing!
John Williams is correct about Segovia
we should praise Agustin Barrios more than Segovia...as John Williams said the conqueror Spanish looked down on the colonial country.
exactly right, as a composer barrios was light years ahead of the few pieces segovia composed himself.

You should STFU. Focus on the music, not on your politcal SJW bullshit.
4:20 Can anybody tell me what that piece is that he plays? thanks
It's from Vals Op. 8 No. 4 :)

Interesting mangore was a native chieftain of Paraguay. That would absolutely make sense and meshes w what else i understand about him.
