#2 is sadness to me , this is my favorite rendition for this piece... listened to this over and over for over 35 years now ... this and Bach's Chaccone - my escape of all stress in life!
Next life I want to born into the Romero family . . . Such a beautiful and loving family. i was lucky to spend time with them at their home when Celedonio was alive. A little poem for them: The Spanish Guitar Family, Los Romeros, A family so loving and true, Their gift to the world, a melody so pure, From the strings of their guitars they pour. Generations of music, passed down with care, A legacy that's lasted through time, The Romeros have shared, a love so rare, In every note, their passion shines. Their fingers dance, across the strings, A symphony of sound they create, A beautiful harmony, that music brings, As the world is serenaded and elate. So let us raise a glass, to the Spanish Guitar Family, Los Romeros, so proud and so bold, Their music will last, for all eternity, As they continue to unfold. For the gift of their music, we're grateful and blessed, For the memories they've created, we'll always be possessed, With a love for the Spanish Guitar, Los Romeros, have impressed. K.B.
I watched the Four Romero's at a college concert in the early sixties. I fell in love with the classical guitar then and there. At 73 it still plucks the strings of my heart.
Very special three days for me to see my old teacher again after 25 years plus and visit with him and play as well.To hear Celin play with Celino was a extra special for me, going back in time. Allot of memories. Thanks William
One of my favorite pieces to play at wedding receptions I'm a clarinetist, now in my seventies and it still gives me shivers,so wonderfully comforting and soothing listening from Idaho.
Such a wonderful surprise to run across this video of these two hauntingly lovely compositions I've not heard before, by these iconic musicians. Transported me back to beautiful Spain. Thanks so much!
Música para sentir y soñar. Fantástica interpretación de las Danzas Españolas (12) de Enrique Granados, en este caso la Nº 2 Oriental y la Nº 5 Andaluza.
Great guitar playing by the Romeros. Guitar and Spain are inextricably linked in their beautiful music. Without great art, ornament will be pretention, but with it, ornament need not be grudged. Even the simplest folk reserve their best food, dress, dance and music for their festivities. Would anyone grudge fine dress and food of even a modest couple on their wedding day ? After all, what is classical music but a refined and stylised playing or singing often of simple folk melodies ?
Actually I was at that concert along with the rest of the Portland guitar concerts and have to say that Celino's tone from his Rodriguez was the most amazing I've heard yet. You cant tell from this video but live the younger Celino had a much stronger tone. Pops still sounded great. So nice to see father son combo....
be careful with this woman Nina stoyanoff, but she's been cheating on me with other men for a long time, today I just reaffirmed and verified, It is not the way to proceed, but I have no other choice,
Tie or no tie, he looks and plays great and he doesn't wear a long sleeve shirt like many guitarist I've seen in concert.Celino is a fantastic player and needs to play a solo recital in Portland...
Pepe's elder brother and Pepe's nephew. Thank you for correcting me, dear Django Trombley! I saw Pepe Romero perform at London's Wigmore Hall, and was astounded by his effortless virtuosity and flair for Boccherini. Celedonio was a real poet on the guitar and a prolific composer!
Payam Behtash ;Yes originally was= Celedonio, Celin, Pepe & Angel; Father Celedonio pass Away, Angel went conducting, Celino & Lito ; new members, long ive the Romeros; The Greatest Dinasty in classical Guitar;
considering the amount of overhead that comes with this style of music, the huge ancient wooden auditorium, the suits, the style of holding the guitar and sitting down, the amount of effort they put into every single note making sure it's perfect and rings out perfectly. Considering all of that I would think that the music would be better. I have heard guys on the street play way more complicated music than this without reading music and with far less rattling strings. And before you tell me that I don't know what I'm talking about. I was raised listening to classical music and I have played guitar for 17 years. This music, while beautiful, is not worth the overhead. There is a guy, Chris Thile that plays the most beautiful Bach I have ever heard and he plays all over the place, in any setting, and he gets all crazy, and the results are much, much more satisfying. All the pomp just gets in the way.
John Evans I could line up a dozen guitarists. Have them play their best. You probably would find fault in every player. There are those of us who appreciate the different ways different musicians express themselves. Sorry you don't appreciate the Romeros.
John Evans On the other hand, do you not see the value in preserving some of the ceremony behind some of the higher end productions? This is clearly a fairly low-scale concert with an older member of the family mentoring a younger. Indeed, much of the fault with this music lies with the fact that the voices cannot be heard at the beginning and there is a redundant intro that has been included rather than tossed by an editor. But the mics are not set up to capture voice, they are there for the guitars and they do quite fine. While I don't discount guys like Chris Thile, if he could have an opportunity to play in a place like this, it would be amazing. The fact that he can make great music outside of an auditorium like this is to his credit for sure, but it doesn't really devalue music with higher production values. For every Chris Thile, you also have guys like Tom Ward, who if anything, are dumbing down classical music to make it accessible to the masses. This is not forward movement. It's like the movie "idiocracy". If the populace becomes stupider, the IQ of 100 (average for the general populace) goes down, so your IQ goes up. Tom can play OK for a street musician, but put him in an auditorium like this and give him something actually challenging and he's all thumbs. Style over substance is the way of the masses, but does not represent "better music". The problem would come if we devalued skill and *nobody* could play in a place like this. And nobody could play well enough to fill an auditorium like this.
+sean satin Care to point your insults at anyone/anything specific or are you just saying that everyone else is stupid because they aren't you and that doing homework would somehow solve that issue? After all, there's "stupid" and then there's "doesn't know how to use the reply button stupid".
you insulted an approach/ a style- dress/ the hall- this is a very important family - guitar wise- very important family- yes we hold the guitar this way as classical guitar players etc- yes I respect talented street musicians, musicians of all styles- research classical guitar- the history and the importance of this family - you insulted an approach - a lineage- a presentation- yes that is intolerant and mal informed!!
Lovely gentleman.. but, I'm sorry to say, we guitarists have inherited an awfully bad habit, that is, tuning in front of our audiences, making them wait for the tones to align correctly. What other instrumentalists do this? Not even the infamous harpist go on to such an extent as the classical guitarists. The violinists and cellists and the oldest seldom this ever subject their audiences to such rude behavior. Why do we feel it's a great privilege to watch a guitarist turn his six strings, which he had ample time to tune long beforehand, and which could not have changed all that much in the 30 seconds since backstage was left for front stage. Naughty naughty!
Some people like to see reality . Hard work is beautiful. Life does not come easy we didn't see the previous 50 years they put in,guitars have never been pretentios they actually represent the people and are the most appreciated stringed instruments.

A little poem for them:
The Spanish Guitar Family, Los Romeros,
A family so loving and true,
Their gift to the world, a melody so pure,
From the strings of their guitars they pour.
Generations of music, passed down with care,
A legacy that's lasted through time,
The Romeros have shared, a love so rare,
In every note, their passion shines.
Their fingers dance, across the strings,
A symphony of sound they create,
A beautiful harmony, that music brings,
As the world is serenaded and elate.
So let us raise a glass, to the Spanish Guitar Family,
Los Romeros, so proud and so bold,
Their music will last, for all eternity,
As they continue to unfold.
For the gift of their music, we're grateful and blessed,
For the memories they've created, we'll always be possessed,
With a love for the Spanish Guitar, Los Romeros, have impressed.
K.B.
Many, many thanks for this poem! You have said many lovely things I am unable to articulate, only to feel.
Two Spanish dances number 2 is one of the most beautiful music written for guitar.
A big thank you

r u still alive bro ? so long ? proud of u !
Don Celedonio Romero nos hizo un gran legado a la humanidad al procrear a estos genios de la guitarra y el "ripple effect" continúa con sus nietos.
Ripple effect?
No hay que olvidar a la esposa de Celedonio, ella tiene la mitad del mérito. !bravo por los Romero!
Son grandes maestros desde el abuelo hasta los nietos y quizás los biznietos, que derroche de arte, esta danza de Granados es mi preferida, gracias
The fact that RUclips removes years old comments is so sad. I live two blocks from this church, and absolutely love this music
Exquisite..... listening over and over again. Thank you. Miss Jenny
Superb.

!!Es tan romantic!!!Me recuerda a los patios y jardines andaluces!!
Belleza auditiva a nivel Dios...
Una verdadera belleza de interpretacion de ambas piezas. Las oigo a menudo y no me cansa!!
This is so beautiful and extra special for me!! Thank you for posting!!!

Yo prefiero por lejos a Manuel Barrueco. Los viejitos suenan lindo, pero derraman demasiada melancolía, me falta el diente y algo más 😊
Thank you, Maestros. Best wishes to you and the Romero family, always.
Magic.
That is beautiful music I love it ED.
Yesterday I heard these 4 guitar specialists in MACAU. Wow! Great concert!
I loved their fingerplay!
Beautiful
¡Hola queridos míos! Hermoso sonido, la escuela..... ¿cuándo vuelven por acá? Love you guys! A big hug! Ignacio
Celino plays like an angel,heavenly, never heard more beautiful version of this hauntingly beautiful piece of music.Keep playing my friend.
Grande musica
Limdisimo
Magnificent!
The greatest of the greats!, and I cannot WAIT to see them and particpate in their amazing Institute - which is always sheer JOY! HUGS!!!
What a gift!!
Thank you, again.

Stupendo……!
The dynasty goes on ...
Amazing!!!

Tiene duende
اجرا فوق العاده وهم آهنگ
This is divine sound, above Yepes, Segovia and all the other classical guitar concertists, both in terms of sensitivity and pure technique. Gracias!
Maravilha!
Mahalio so fine, exquisite
Beautiful playing...
Belíssimo!
are they related to Pepe Romero?

Celin is Pepe’s older brother. Celino is Celin’s son. They have a younger brother Angel. The father of the three brothers is Celedonio.
Frankie Paradiso not quite.. but close...
Payam Behtash ;Yes originally was= Celedonio, Celin, Pepe & Angel; Father Celedonio pass Away, Angel went conducting, Celino & Lito ; new members, long ive the Romeros; The Greatest Dinasty in classical Guitar;
peperomero.com has a nice family history
☺♪♫♫♪♫♫☻♫♫♥♪♪♪♫
Very nice. Papa Celin's tone seems to carry better than the younger man's does. Looks like Celino is playing a Rodriguez; what is Papa Celin using?
+davinort He plays his Hauser.

Comments on you tube are over rated. Just enjoy the music people.
J'ai toujours pensé que Narciso Yepes était un excellent guitariste mais que Pepe Romero le dépassait.
Daniel Finet pas le même registre,en terme de technique Yepes est au dessus....

Pity that Celino succumbed to the "open neck brigade" and refuses to wear a tie even for a concert!!What a plague!!
+Richard van Egneem ties are overrated and suffocating
@Richard don't be a snob
Yeaaah! It totally ruins the sound of the music! Hmpfffffff!
The tie is the "hang mans brigade", damn it!
Gee, terrible!
This is really horrable playing! They play like beginners... First practice than perform!
Can't wait to see you perform at Carnegie Hall, as you must be much superior to cast such disparaging remark.
Guitar teacher here. I actually agree. It's poorly prepared
Amazing!
Maravilhoso!
