  • pulgares para arriba si usted está mirando esto en 2012

  • Sigo pensando en que la mayoría de las críticas provienen de un desconocimiento de la obra, de su carácter y posibilidades expresivas, además de eso la versión que interpreta el Maestro tuvo algunos cambios posteriores introducidos por el mismo compositor. Es natural que el virtuosismo, la magia y el temple de Alirio Díaz despierte todavía reacciones de pura envidia y una especie de racismo encubierto en supuestas apreciaciones estéticas ¡Que viva Alirio Díaz. inspiración de muchos en el mundo!

  • delicate hands for a guitarist

  • @bluejaywaay … LOL… I was actually thinking the same thing. But this guy actually had the goods because Andrés Segovia made him his assistant instructor. Also, Joaquín Rodrigo who wrote notable works specifically for Segovia wrote & dedicated this piece for Alirio Díaz.

  • Diciamocelo: fa abbastanza cagare.

    Musicalmente strampalato, suvvia.

  • la excelencia y el virtuosismo han sido su sello a travez de varias generaciones. orgullo de la venezolanidad. y que podemos hace,r si la envidia mata., se nota en algunos comentarios pero asi ha de ser para que resplandezca mas su gloria.

  • Críticas sin sentido......¡Pónganse las pilas y traten de tocar esta obra a la mitad del nivel de fantasía y virtuosismo de Alirio Díaz! Esta obra no fué dedicada a él por capricho, allí Rodrigo fue inspirado por el fuego y la poesía de la guitarra de Alirio Díaz! ¡Gloria a Joaquín Rodrigo! ¡Gloria a Alirio Díaz!

  • it feels like he only had 5 minutes to catch a train or whatever. Can't believe this piece was dedicated to this guy

  • @Wheresmyaccount

    ok...i wana see yar video playing this....i mean level ma friend...HELLO!???

  • @Wheresmyaccount ...AH YES BY THE WAY.... another piece dedicated to "you" by master Rodrigo...now go and put the kettle on and listen!!!!!

    regards

  • @Freddythemonk I don't really understand what you're saying here, but seriously, he's just shredding the piece. He uses it to showcase his virtuosity whilst ignoring every pause or resting point, no, just about everything this piece has to offer musically. And as a matter of fact I have attempted to study the piece, and it's by far not enough to be posted on youtube but I am absolutely serious when I say my technically flawed version with mistakes of more interesting then Diaz just rushing it

  • @Freddythemonk if you like this, then by all means, keep on liking it. Maybe there's a Cathedrale version of 2 minutes or an Asturias version of 15 seconds for you on youtube as well

  • @Wheresmyaccount as i said before , even the best have terrible days. this may be alirio`s one without a doubt thats not the question...the real thing here is we are no match to dare criticize a person like him, he is a master and a very humble one...no wonder why rodrigo himself dedicated this piece to him. regards

  • I got to be honest, and say this is one of my least favourite versions of the piece :/...

  • Bien acompasado , de gran dinamica , buena articulacion, jeje este si es un MAESTRO.

  • My god! why is he eating the piece like a stake! I expected that his interpretation would be better. strange.

  • @armaosptolemaios I thought the "dance" section was pretty good, but i agree the beginning seems a bit...rushed. Like "oh god, I have to play THIS again..."

  • @Hektor88 shure all yar concert days were perfect... come on!

  • @Hektor88 oh yes...how old are you by the way????

    land it bro!

  • @Freddythemonk That's none of your business. I am perfectly entitled to criticize someone's playing. I was not insulting Diaz or insinuating that he isn't a good player.

    And before you whip out the "could YOU have done better?" card, no, i can't play this piece. But that doesn't mean I can't tell when it's played poorly.

  • @Hektor88 mmm...you`re not convincing Hector my good fella. is a silly thing (i mean just wrong!) even thinking about feeling "perfectly entitled" to criticize the performances, career or the influence of someone like Master Diaz... even the best had strange days . No wonder why your comments out of nowhere.

    Criticism must be something encouraging and constructive, with sense.... perhaps your "perfect entitlement" were forged for something else. Who you think you are man? Land it!

  • @Freddythemonk I agree he could have just been having a bad day. I was not criticizing Diaz as a player, simply this performance.

    And yes, I AM entitled to criticize someone's playing, no matter who it is. We all are. That's how we get better. This isn't a masterclass or anything so I felt no need to detail things or be especially "constructive."

    Good day.

  • @Hektor88 Don't take me wrong Hector. I feel lucky this is not a masterclass with you since i have no need to go there either.You have a point with the first 2 lines and it doestn feel offensive of course. but Master Diaz when through a lot his whole life and career wich doesnt gives the right to make comparisons or mean comments coming from you or anyone else. But thanks for the comments anyway, yet narrowed still refreshes the reasons why i've started to play this instrument. Have a nice day.

  • In 1961, Spanish composer Joaquín Rodrigo's piece Invocación y Danza, dedicated to Alirio Díaz, won the First Prize at the Coupe International de Guitare, awarded by the Office de Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française (ORTF).

  • Pienso que el gran maestro solo tuvo una desafortunada actuacion ese noche, en esta interpretacion no demuestra la grandeza y el respeto que ha inspirado siempre, los que no saben juzgan, pero deberian saludar y disfrutar al mas grande guitarrista clasico que America a dado..

  • y martinvegaga creo q le debes mas respeto al maestro alirio, por q montastes dos videos en youtube y comentan tu familia y tus amigos te crees muy celebre?? bueno cm eres tan bueno criticando espero ver esta pieza tocada por ti, pero no dentro de mil años, te falta muchos años para llegarle siquiera a los talones al maestro que ha tocado en todo el mundo y tu solo en puebla jajaja y bueno seria bueno verte tocar campanas del alba o seis por derecho pero eso si lo tienes q superar XD!!!!!

  • bueno son 119 personas que han votado a favor contra 11 en contra creo q la mayoria decide, no?? y los q no les gusto espero que muestren como tocan ellos la guitarra a ver quien es mejor si el maestro o los prodigiosos!! jajaja

  • Thank you for putting this video on You Tube. I have the vinyl recording of Alirio Diaz playing this 45 years ago, and still enjoy it. It was a pleasure to watch him play it on You Tube!

  • I just love Invocation ans dance but, although just being able to play it is great, I feel this performance is a bit cold and emotionless compared to others.

  • La peor interpretacion que he escuchado, es increible que se la hayan dedicado

  • This isn't quite to my taste, imo Denis Azabagic has by far the best performance on youtube..

  • Comment removed

  • What a straggle then a consolidation from a blind man the depth this man has is unbearable.

  • who knows what this is from (ie: year and tv special/video)??

  • MEH, Kaori Muraji's version is way better.

  • Most of the times when i hear "flawless" guitarists, I do miss some feeling in their playing.

  • bad tremolo

  • Pero bueno... y los silencios, y que son esos rubatos. La vieja escuela está bien en muchos aspectos, pero hay muchas cosas que hoy en dia se han superado. Es como oir a Glen Gould y a Evgeny Kissin.

  • Los tiempos pasan, a la vez que los guitarristas consiguen nuevas y mejores tecnicas para perfeccionar su manera de tocar.

    Es como que compares a Jimmy Hendrix con Buckethead por ponerte un ejemplo!

    Alirio, por siempre inmortal con estupenda majestuosidad a la hora de interpretar! por eso es que amo tanto a mi Venezuela caracha! :)

  • Issst hoornteeng! Isst steemyoolateeng two zee eemageenatshon. Mustaly play-ying. Brafo, Aler-reo!

  • Alirio Diaz. Most overrated, most overestimated guitarist of the century. Never understood why...

  • I don't think so, why you say that?

  • I don't want to be mean or disrespect the late maestro but the good things that did for our guitar was the fact that he made the world know the Latin composers of our loved instrument. As a player he was too sloppy, nothing special. My opinion and only.

  • That could be partially true; he had not the cleanest style, maybe he could even have had some behavior-related problems, due to his extremely humble and miserable origins... Of course I prefer other great players like Paco De Lucia, for example, or John Williams. But great respects to him go just for Vals Venezolano, that song is marvellous.

    And I'm sure that, while listened by audio recordings he may sound a little "sloppy", in a live concert he gave a completely different sensation.

  • Pretty piece of music.A great musician makes the extreme seem effortless.All who comment must be able to present their criticism through a download of them doing a better job than Alirio and I would really like to see that!

  • Amazing performance!! Bravo Maestro.

    Orgullo Venezolano

  • Impresionante Alirio Díaz. Lastima que no estan grabadas todas sus interpretaciones de esta época. La fuerza, el garbo y la expresividad inigualable. Por todo esto nunca me cansaba de oirlo en sus conciertos. Estos son las verdaderas huellas de los interpretes, no los discos o videos montados. Así era el en vivo. Bravo MAESTRO

  • Perfect version with the right amount of temperament! Bravo

  • doesn't he play it a little bit too fast???

  • Not to me, it;s faster then the most versions, that's true!

  • Simplemente virtuoso!

  • Great playing, pity about the tone though. Bit too harsh for my liking.

  • If you know Rodrigo, he had a sour disposition, Which this tone matches. When he gets to the danza his tone changes.

  • Yes, it's primarily written in Ponticello, but that would be this piece specifically. For the most part, Maestro Diaz has exceptional tone.

  • Its true, to be an amazing guitarist, you need to look like an accountant.

    Williams, bream, diaz. Its proof!

  • David Russell as well

  • La parte con gli arpeggi è fenomenale come la fa rendere Diaz... Pure Del Sal però suona sto pezzo come dio comanda, stili diversi ma mi piacciono entrambi.

  • Con tutto il rispetto, su Youtube c'è anche l'interpetazione di Adriano Del Sal... Ottima, soprattutto per potenza di suono e pulizia del tremolo.

  • great!!! super.....

  • A mí me gusta más esta versión que la de Kaori Muraji. Creo que su interpretación es más profunda. El maestro Alirio Díaz capta mejor los matices. Es sólo una humilde opinión.

  • Dios mio que tecnica, el sentimiento que le impone, el maestro es unico orgullo de ser venezolano.

    Larga Vida al maestro Alirio Diaz.

  • gerardoximenez respete la opinion de loadermen...el tiene razon...incluso el "maestro" se puede equivocar...hay q conocer muy bien lo q qria decir cada autor con cada obra...

  • Why doesn't he perform in US?

  • Incredibble playing .What a passion .

    Beautifull with so much soul and heart

  • just perfect!! magic!! brilliant!!

  • Alirio Diaz has a strong touch, and I heard more poetical and (let's say it, more accurate) versions than this.

    Still his energy is overwhelming. We should not forget this piece is dedicated to Alirio Diaz himself.

  • Alirio Díaz has a very agressive technique, I think because of his virtuosism. But in this piece we can hear the musician, not only the guitarist. BRAVO MAESTRO

  • Es una opinión pero hilar tan fino con maestros de la talla (y el talento) de Alirio Díaz me parece incluso irrespetuoso

  • Pues, a Rodrigo sí le gustó porque fué escrita para este guitarrista específicamente.  A mí sí me gustó que le puso bastante ritmo puesto que es una danza y no solo una invocación y como tal, debe llevar ritmo.

  • Beautiful....what else can I say?

  • Maestro ud es maravilloso, dios le guarde mucha salud y ojala úno de estos días haga una combinación de acustica y electrica con Yoger un joven guitarrista mexico venezolano, uno de sus sueños es tocar a su lado,Dios le bendiga y sus valses estan en mi corazón.

  • ALIRIO is magic!

  • EL MAESTRO ALIRIO ES MARAVILLOSO, ES PURO CORAZÒN.

    Serìa maravilloso verlo a dueto con Yoger(you tube) excellente guitarrista electrico mexico- venezolano tocando el vals de A Lauro o Natalia.

  • So let´s see some Yoger tunes!

    Show me some videos!

    ;)

  • se nota la diferencia cuando la toca un maestro como alirio diaz

  • great sound one of the best in this century.i meet aliro went i was but in cuba staring music in 1970

  • que dedos tan flacos. paresen de skeleto

  • jajajaaaa

  • Notable...Grande Maestro, que podeer de interpretacion

  • hiç çalmasa daha iyiymiş midi file, ama tabiki büyük bi gitaristtir sadece  1-2 performansına bakarak yorum yapılmamalı ama bu performans gerçekten bence berbat..

  • invocacion y danza! q pieza tan hermosa.

  • Virtuoso!

  • Emocionante. Hasta ahora se nota la huella que dejó en el Perú desde que lo visitó por última vez allá por los años 60! Grande Alirio.

  • first time i see alirio Diaz Playing, Wonderfull, fantastic interpretation !!!

  • Rodrigo wrote this piece for Alirio Diaz.

  • This piece has mystery and magic. Is one of the most interesting work for guitar. The master Diaz understood the ideas from Rodrigo.

  • Way too good!!! Muy Bueno!!!

    What pieceis that?

    Que musica és esta?

  • It is Invocación y Danza, a piece written for solo guitar by Joaquin Rodrigo.

  • very suggestive and dynamic, very inspired music and musician

  • Bravo! Maestro, usted ha servido de inspiración para varias generaciones de guitarristas
