The best comment is the whisper that blows away whit the final note...

[estoyquemepeino]

wonderfull , 

[key2kingdom]

The tune is magnificent, but the weird rhythm spoils it, it's all over the place.

I've been trying to get hold of a decent tab of it, so I can try re-working it with a regular rhythm.

[therookie93]

@key2kingdom Once you get used to arhythmic pieces you'll this to be more beautiful to the next "normal" metered piece.

[aang609]

no wonder Segovia said John Williams isn't the prince of guitar he is the KING!

[masariroa]

it is a magnificent melody, and despite the fact that John Williams is great, this piece lacks the Venezuelan rhythm

[chopin65]

This has such a romantic title too. In English it translates to "As a star cries."

[weareallmusicians]

¿Primera vez que escucha a Williams siend expresivo?

Quizás deba escuchar sus interpretaciones de la música de Agustín Barrios Mangoré.

Maestro Williams, un saludo reverente.

[ljortega48]

sabes @ajcitar hace dos semanas estuve en casa del maestro alirio, y le pregunte sobre esta armonizacion, pues resulta que el se lanzo por varios pueblitos y cacerios de lara a escuchar y grabar la musica popular de lara, y despues hizo los arreglos.... completamente impresionante verdad?

[levantateyanda01]

es la primera vez q veo a Williams tan expresivo tocando una obra, hermosa pieza por cierto.

Como Llora Una Estrella - Antonio Carrillo (1892–1962)

[antipodeandreason]

@GinoTheSinner Thanks that's helpful. That site has it in tab but is still readable if you follow the music.Seems to only place it is written down.

[GinoTheSinner]

@antipodeandreason yup. i searched frenetically for this tab for like 1½ years earlier.. then i gave up. another year later i saw someone had added it to that old ass site :P

[key2kingdom]

@antipodeandreason Hi, I've tried finding this tune on classictab org site but can't find it. The link ending carillo_como_llora_una_estrell­­a doesn't work. Please help. If I knew the name of the composer, that would help.

[antipodeandreason]

@antipodeandreason I think it's Antonio Carrillo.There does not appear to be a full proper transcript of it just a site with TAB that someone a few comments back on this vid named for us.Sorry, been looking myself for the sheet music.

[GinoTheSinner]

@antipodeandreason whaddya guys talking about it does work. go to classtab.org and search for carillo

[giger20]

la letra mas conocida para esta pieza del maestro carrillo es de arnaldo vivas toledo

[antipodeandreason]

Does anyone know where to buy the sheet music for this.Can not see it for sale anywhere.

[GinoTheSinner]

Canción de mi estado Lara - Venezuela

[CoolBoyFromDownUnder]

Australians do make excellent guitars, better than most Spaniards. At least Australian luthiers redefined the approach in classical guitar construction in late 20th century. John Williams once commented about it (you can Google it), and have chosen to go that way. Before meeting with John Williams mr Smallman was an unknown man. Apart from him, I personally like guitars made by Richard Howell from Melbourne and Jim Redgate from South Australia.

viva venezuelaaaaaaaaa y bsu folklor

[AntonioStradivarius]

Esta cancion es Venezolanaaaa!!!! Y a mi se me hace muy dificil de aprender a tocar!!! pero es demasiado hermosa!!!

[pulpo1974]

@AntonioStradivarius hola antonio, como estas, chamo, cuanto me sale un violin de esos que tu haces....estoy necesitando uno...hagamelo pero no se pase con el precio....hagalo para un pana,,,

[AntonioStradivarius]

@pulpo1974 El unico violin Stradivarius que he visto en mi vida es uno que tiene un profesor del conservatorio donde yo estudiaba, realmente no me parecen instrumentos muy arrechos, quizas para la epoca en que fueron creados fueron maravillosos por la madera, la resonancia y todo aquello, y no habia insturmentos como esos, pero actualmente creo que la mano de obra ya superó la calidad de los violines Stradivarius. Los Yamaha y Suzuki son muy buenos, aunque mis favoritos son los Cremona. Saludos.

[ajcitar]

Bueno vale decir que este es un arreglo para guitarra del queridisimo Alirio Díaz ya que no lo dice por ningún lado, vale la pena destacarlo, Es una cancion Venezolana de Antonio carrillo. Y creo que es un orgullo para todos los Venezolanos esta version de Williams.

[cesar052291]

@ajcitar fue compuesta por Antonio Carrillo, que viene siendo primo de mi abuelo, Cesar A Carrillo Parras

[aladejote]

Suele suceder.......... que las cosas mas simples sean las mas hermosas. Muchas veces están ahí............... tan cerca de nosotros que no nos damos cuenta......................Es­ta partitura la tenia pero nunca le había tomado el gusto hasta que escuche a John W................... Es la magia que tienen los grandes interpretes...................­...........

[ageliebter]

magnifico, simplemente bellisima ejecucion, una de las mejores canciones venezolanas! llega al corazon de verdad

[XIXO2508]

Dame la tierna luz de tu lindo mirar...................... Idóneo para todos los sentidos.

Beautiful Venezuelan Song.

[ClassicalJoeNo1]

Awesome! His performance always looks so easy and relaxing. *****

[daprahu]

La guitarra que usa es de Mexico de paracho hay videos donde se muestra como le estan haciendo la guitarra y hasta el mismo john williams sali ahi.

[alejoguit]

te equivocas, muy claramente se ve que la guitarra es una smallman, mira la roseta, todas las smallman tienen ese diseño

[guitarclasic4693]

excelente interpretacion

*****

[guitarforte]

magnifico maestro que bien ejecutada

[konzerteloco]

hello, can anyone tell me the name of the guitar John Williams uses on the recording of Concierto de Aranjuez, I mean the guitar with the structure inside which looks similar to the cells inside a bee nest. Thanks!!!

[benkitsch]

I think you are talking about the guitars made by australian luthier Greg Smallman - There is a great DVD called "The Seville Concert" which has John and Greg discussing the guitars structure

[konzerteloco]

thanks!!

[xYEAHxKYLEx]

its ok :)

[xYEAHxKYLEx]

he uses a greg smallman classical nice guitars but 1 problem there $25,000

xpensive :)

[konzerteloco]

thanks!!

[luisbgomezl]

Are you sure? I think that it is more expensive.

[xYEAHxKYLEx]

they can be if you acution them but made by him its $25,000 austrailian dollers and a 10 year waiting list i found his contact i got it through john williams which was almost imposible to get his number but i found out that its 25000 dollers exactly not worth all the money just for a guitar

[Santiagom84]

jown williams es australiano capo.

[5362494]

es una buena version, pero se nota que es norteamericano, el que escucho a Alirio Diaz,interpretar este tema debe reconocer la calidad de este último y el sentimiento en su ejecucion, no obstante John es muy bueno .

[dhyan2000]

Excelente !! John Wlliams siempre fantastico !!

Fui discipulo de Sergio Assad, en Rio de Janeiro, por los años 80. Ademas de la musica clasica para guitarra me encanta la musica venezolana.

Por favor quisiera saber en donde conseguir esta partitura, es un maravilloso arreglo.

Un abrazo,

Denys Bernard

[GinoTheSinner]

have to be experienced on place. this is completely different. excuisite still, but far from being there.

PS Anybody got tabs??

[lZay007]

No creo que si no tienes una guitarra -ramirez, no suenen bien las piezas, creo que eso ya es una especie de fanatismo...

[gatocabrito]

Estrella de la noche tu serás

La compañera fiel de mi canción.

Que vagas por la noche

Enchida de romántica ansiedad

Bajo la dolorosa ternura del amor.

[guillhome]

esto es exelente.

[noazarkle]

It seems as though you have to be loaded to even listen to classical guitar these days.How very sad!That Fleta must have been very much a"one-off".I've never heard a nylon-strung to compare for clarity and dynamic range-certainly not a Ramirez.If,by chance,some viewers aren't stockbrokers,Moondog sell a lattice-braced for£800.There are no separation probs whatsoever with my steel strung,but I've no idea whether their classical sounds as good.

[philomelodia]

No. You don't ahve to be loaded to listen but it seems you do have to be loaded to buy a nice instrument. You can get a decent quality steel string instrument for 1500 bucks and rant and rave about how great it is You can't do that with a classical. If you don't have at least 3000 bucks, you're screwed. That's the low end of concert models. Some guitars out there cost 14 to 20 grand brand new.

[poupee58]

Williams should just buy a second-hand Ramirez 1a and be done with it.If it was good enough for Segovia...

[poupee58]

Australians do not make good guitars,leave that to the spanish.

[bleednfingers]

You have to remember it is also a matter of taste. They are completely different sounding guitars and so different qualities about them will attract different players.

[lZay007]

Muy buena version, y con lo de la guitarra creo que esta bien porque, ademas de ser suya le da un toque personal.

[harryyance]

quien tiene la partitura??????

[harryyance]

donde puedo encontrar la partitura?????????

[giaian1]

Lunga vita a Williams!!!

[plaxico28]

VIVA VENEZUELA!!

[poupee58]

Beautiful music and played so beautifully and perfectly John williams is amazing but his Guitar sounds Artificial and lacks the beauty of more traditional guitars.

[philomelodia]

I disagree. I find the excelent separation and clarity of this instrument very pleasing.

[craigalake]

The clarity is not from the instrument, that's Williams. Smallmans have terrible string seperation and are as murky as mud (I've played many and one of my best friends has one and willingly concedes this). Despite this, Williams always sounds good but never as good as when he played a Fleta.

[philomelodia]

Well, I guess I have discovered yet another reason to admire the man then. He really is a master of the instrument. Is the lack of good separation common to all lattice instruments or just the Smallmans? I've been eying some instruments by one Kris Barnett but haven't made up my mind yet.

[craigalake]

(1/2) In my opinion yes, but it depends who you ask. The tops are very thin and have a slow response, which means the upper harmonics are not as prevalent (the opposite of a flamenco which has a very fast response and a bright tone). This means it is easier to make a thick, powerful, dark tone but you lose something in the richness and clarity of the sound. In my experience, you can always make an ok sound on a lattice even with bad nails (they hide nail noise well) but never a great sound.

[craigalake]

(2/2) Have you played or heard a Simon Marty? They use a radial bracing with carbon fibre and have the power of a lattice but the clarity and tone of a traditional. There is a new maker in Australia, Robin Moyes, who is making very similar guitars and they are still less than $6,000. He was an apprentice of Marty or did some work in Martys workshop apparently. The Kris Barnett guitars look ok but beware cheap lattice. But at the end of the day its you that has to be happy with the guitar.

[philomelodia]

Yeah, there's a Marty up for sale on eBay. Drooled over it for a while and then had to tear myself away from the page. I can't afford it and it was depressing me. Guy wants 9000 bucks American. Worth it, I suppose, but way out of my meager means. Got a wife and child. Guess I'll go with a lower priced fleta. Any experience with Arturo Huipe and Francisco Navarro?

[craigalake]

None at all but I had a look at some just now. They look like good copies of traditional styles at a reasonable price. Where was the guy selling the Marty from? I bought one over the web from the US last year. Amazing guitar!

[philomelodia]

He's in the Catskills which is an offshoot of the Appalachian mountains.  New york, I think. Oh, and he wants 0875 for it. I'll send you the link to your inbox if you want to see it. Or, just type Simon Marty Brazilian Rosewood in the search for ebay and you'll see it. Guy claims it's a specially braz rw in the guitar.

[philomelodia]

Correction, 9875.

[carpeguitarra]

I have a guitar by Kris. I am not an expert by any means and still pretty new to classical guitar. My guitar instructor considers it equal to her guitar, if not a bit better. Her guitar has standard bracing. I have found that there is considerable ability to get different tonal colors from the instrument. Don't know if that helps.

[philomelodia]

Actually, I got outbid on the Barnett. I was able to secure a LoPrinzi. I'm waiting for it to arrive on Thursday. We'll just ahve to see how it does. Bit nervous. First time purchase of a guitar I've never heard. Everything I've read about LoPrinzi and his instruments has been very favorable so, we'll see.

[poupee58]

Wonderful playing ,absolutely superb.I also dislike the Smallman it is very powerful but does not sound like a good spanish guitar like Fleta or Ramirez.

[focl2003]

thank you very much

[Ahmetal]

Thank you so much.

[nmclay]

Wonderful performance but do I wish he would go back to his Fleta?! I really hate that Smallman guitar.

[wolllfang]

great videos, keep them coming! thanks a lot.

[gtrmusic69]

Always Good Playing!!!!
