    Absolutely magnificent.
    The only thing wrong with this performance is the creaking stool he’s sitting on.
    Every time he shifts his weight it creaks.
    I could listen to this all day, even with the creaky stool.

    I've listened to more classical guitar in this pandemic than I ever have in my life, and I don't even play. These two pieces contrast one another beautifully. The rubatos and vibrato are among the best I've heard, and the technical brilliance possesses much natural fluidity...and what to say of the phrasing, it sings! I'm floored by the perforamnce; bravo!

      I used to get discouraged, as a fellow listener but also classical guitar student, that not many people appreciate classical guitar (because it's so quiet and for other reasons). Wonderful to hear the perspective of other listeners.

    the best classical performances like this don't sound "classical", they sound more like improvisation, or folk music, because of their singing sonority and masterful, fluent playing. Congratulations to the player :)

      @@rayray8687 when I say garbage, I meant music that is not coherent or has little musicality to it. I am not saying everyone has to listen to classical music. Having said that, one can only appreciate the mastery in his work if one has basis for comparison, the nuances, dynamic and phrasing that he makes out of a wooden box and strings. And, that is not to belittle luthier's work but to emphasis the mastery that has gone into making that sound

    I printed this off in college when I studied classical guitar. Still to this day, I never got around to reading the music. No less than 15 pages. Probably upwards of 20 or more.
    Carnival of Venice remains one of the most incredible and beautiful folk melody Variations on a Theme in music.
    Additionally, I encourage all musicians to experiment and challenge themselves to create new theme and variation material to keep the tradition alive.
