Chère Muraji, vous êtes une musicienne d'un immense talent, mais surtout l'émotion, la sensibilité que vous transmettez me touche au plus haut point. J'écoute cette œuvre avec passion en regardant chacun de vos gestes et je suis d'une tristesse infinie en pensant que vous avez été atteinte par un mal qui aurait dû ne pas vous atteindre. Il n'y a pas de nouvelles et je les guette. Revenez nous vite avec votre guitare. Mes pensées vont vers vous. Patrick
Encore un fois, cette pièce demande une force et technique, mais tu nous le donnes avec une simplicité , qui caractérise la bienveillance des Dieux, merci pour ton interprétation, si sublime, si tendre…tout amour🌹
I agree with this comment. Just amazing - wonderful video! Thank you for posting it. My (very seriously talented) guitarist stepdad (aka artpaws here) sent me this link as a great example of the Latin style esp the wonderful tremolo she shows here; he prefers her slower version of this piece and so do I! Much more emotional to me, I loved it. I wish I had 1/32nd of this ability on guitar! (I can barely strum a guitar - I am a flutist). Brava!
Great Playing! Great Piece! Nice smooth tremolo does not make it mechanical. Just the right touch of tonal color and dynamics, works very well. Beautiful!!!
Although it is audible so that there may be no gaiety in her performance apparently, but while hearing it, it will be taken and possessed by the glamorous charm which the perfect art has gradually, and it will become a captive completely.
@adognamedsally It appears to be more of a music video than a performance video that's to be studied by students. This is also why they had no issue with cutting away from the performance entirely at some points to show scenery. I think the cuts are nice - although a bit standard - considering the purpose of the recording.
It's funny how you say that. I really enjoyed listening to what she did with the inside line. It has it's own volume in comparison to the bass line and the melody.
Kaori: Brilliant! Marvelous! Congratulations for the great performance. You have a strong musical personality. Can you tell me who is the Luthier of your Guitar? Greetings from Brazil, Mário
@Aensgard it might be a matter of personal taste. I really don't feel what you are saying. I just notice that whenever someone plays flawlessly there is someone saying it's heartless... I listened to several other interpretation and this is the one i like best. Maybe it's not her best interpretation, but Kaori plays perfectly in all senses in my opinion. And she has time improve. I think most of the people who comment she is robotic would have not said that if they didn't see she is japanese
One of the best guitar players in history? I think you're exaggerating. Not just because you like her playing means it can't be robotic. In fact, she plays very steady, like with a metronome, and I think this piece has some part where you can play some notes tenuto, make some ritardando, more evident crescendo and diminuendo, make contrasts (whether it is tone or volume constrasts) and I don't hear many of those elements in here to make music more amusing, interesting.
There are tons of examples on youtube, but specifically for this song, listen to the version by Fabio Zanon. (watch?v=mY5gA5oYobg) This is a prime example of how a virtuoso will own a piece and go beyond simply playing it. I have gotten 2 of murajis cds as gifts over the years and I'm convinced that her talents ends at technical skill. She just doesn't seem to "get it" even though she is mentored by one of the greats.
@adognamedsally way too excessive, it's as if the guy is playing with cuts for the first time in my life. Instrumental music isn't meant to have so many cuts, it is meant to sync with the music if anything.
@adognamedsally It's way too excessive, it's as if the editor is playing with Video Editor 1.0 for the first time in his life. If he wants to cut, then do it, but at least have it sync with the music or not cut so much. Anyway, instrumental music isn't meant to have so many cuts in the first place since one beautiful aspect of listening to music is seeing the player, you get an overall stronger emphatic rush because of the audio and visual cues working together.
Kaori Muraji robotic??? What planet do you live on? that's the most wrong musical comment I've heard in my life. Kaori plays flawlessly but with a sensuous flow and evriday correctly interpreting the right intent of the composer. In 22nd century she will be remembered as one of the best guitarplayers of the 21st and in history. Where the hell you felt the roboticity is a mistery... maybe you were referring to the well known japanese abilty in cibernetic engineering but thats another story...
She's so wonderful, definitely one of my favorite guitarists. But folks, I have to say her interpretation of this particular piece somehow doesn't do it for me. I think it actually lacks feeling, believe it or not, maybe a little to mechanical for me. Like she doesn't make it into a living breathing thing. Thoughts folks? (I just want to reiterate that i totally admire her and respect her as a player, just wanted to spark a little friendly discussion)
Great playing, but could this piece rip off Recuerdos any more!? When it goes to A major I can't help but expect it to go into Tarrega....still a good piece.
@ghostdog7575 It's robotic... I feel no phrasing at all... read the score, analyse the musical phrases and you'll see she doesn't make contrasts, doesn't play different dinamics, doesn't make any special separation between the two sections of the piece, among many other things. This is plain and a bit boring, though played with a perfect tremolo (but played almost like an exercise for tremolo). But music is much more than technique, and that is something a lot of people does not understand
Ok but... you just must have listened wrong or had hallucinations: what you say is absolutely not true... if she has something is the ability to interpret. her "sound" is full of "emotion". I'm curious now: tell me who is the interpreter with the "interpreted translation" and I'll try to understand... is there someone on YT that plays the way you talk about? (please don't indicate eccentric or non-classic interpreters 'cause I don't give a F*** about)
Perhaps you would care to post your own rendition? What's that? You don't play? I thought so. Those who can, do; those who can't post comments on RUclips.
She can play, but she can't play. It's odd. Kind of like programming the song into your computer. It's lacking emotion and inflection... but yeah, she did play the song :/
Her playing is perfect, that is she plays it exactly as it is written... and monotone to boot. She lacks something that all virtuosos possess and that is an ability to interpret. She lacks expression and interpreted translation, or "emotion" if you would rather call it that. That's where I'm getting robotic from. bye bye
Amazing... the best interpretation of this piece I've ever heard. the technique and emotion go well together.

cette piece est responsable de tout un parcours d'amour pour l'artiste, voila je une des melodies que j'écoute depuis très long temps, merveilleux,
This is a great piece. The setting and the music are very special
An outstanding musician who posses soul and emotion that bring joy to this mean ol' world.
¡¡¡Impecable!!!

Me encanta esta versión, gracias!
wow.... both the music and the person are so dreamy...
Beautifully played...with clarity, played with emotion, speed doesn't mean perfection.
Great Playing! Great Piece! Nice smooth tremolo does not make it mechanical. Just the right touch of tonal color and dynamics, works very well. Beautiful!!!

woww speechless
amazing performance, i enjoyed, bravo, 5*****
very perfect play and tune i love this girl
Nice perform i love tremolo i freakin awsome
Here I was, thinking about why I find Kaori to be the best guitarist in the world, and then I watched this video..
I LOVE YOU, KAORI!
what a pleasure !
mi amor eres una maravilla con este tema
excelente!!
she IS the definition of beauty!
Most beautiful Guitar player in the world super star!
The beginning tremolo ish sound is impossible-so captivating to a guitarists ear. I am a failure at tremolo on all accounts. This is magnificent.
Ella es hermosa

aishiteru kaori muraji *mwah* *hug* ^_^
I think, best version here but the editor deserve a punch to the face.
Bdw very great performance.
Thank you.
I love you. You are the best in that piece! I new in guitar (only 3 years) I study tremolo on Ivanov Kramskoy "Grezi" Could you play it and share?
anyone can play fast but it needs a true artist to perform it like this.
Sounds like a splice around 2:15 but what a nice tremolo and no gaps.
wow all i have to say is wow
Kaori: Brilliant! Marvelous! Congratulations for the great performance. You have a strong musical personality. Can you tell me who is the Luthier of your Guitar?
Greetings from Brazil,
Mário
Shes amazing and beautiful lady...
Excellent, I wonder there is little in the way of classical guitar coverage in this country now?
A nice even tremolo , a bit slow but still has the illusion of 2 people playing. nicely done.
call maple street guitars in atlanta, ga. they will help you find it
@Ripp29
You should run for world presidency! :)
You'll get my vote!

@liosama right? what with all the cuts?
What country is that USA ? There's little here in Europe too because they're not original pieces.
the tear at 1:20 made me want to cry too.
Therefore, the more it hears it, the more it does not devote and get bored. There is a dangerous element
Do you play with a kohno guitar?
good work

I hate to be negative, but don't you wish the camera guys could just hold still:)
@adognamedsally way too excessive, it's as if the guy is playing with cuts for the first time in my life. Instrumental music isn't meant to have so many cuts, it is meant to sync with the music if anything.
beautiful playing, and you look super hot with that guitar..
Is this a dream or is this a reality?

i didnt like the tremolo and the technique
but she is very musical and she succeed to excite me
Kaori Muraji robotic???

editign sucks, i wish there's more hands than face...but the playing/music is awesome. i wish we cn have an insight on her fingerings
I dont know why some people put so much emphasize on emotional crap. To me sounds is more important than that crap.
She's so wonderful, definitely one of my favorite guitarists. But folks, I have to say her interpretation of this particular piece somehow doesn't do it for me. I think it actually lacks feeling, believe it or not, maybe a little to mechanical for me. Like she doesn't make it into a living breathing thing. Thoughts folks?

she is better than the chinese one lin jae
Great playing, but could this piece rip off Recuerdos any more!? When it goes to A major I can't help but expect it to go into Tarrega....still a good piece.
Yes！ Devilish work is jealous of the human being loved by God.

Alirio Diaz does it better.
too robotic.
Noisy tremolo is not accepted at her level; thumbs down.
Let's hear your tremolo.
