personally I think that these guitarists are much better: C. Parkening, Andres Segovia, Pablo Sainz Villegas, Meng Su, and Julian Bream. Take a look at them if you like. But everyone has an opinion. regards
el mejor interprete de esta cancion es su creador y compositor el gran francisco tarrega el es el unico que sabe interpretarla perfecta por eso nunca sera comparable con el porke solo el sabra que es lo que queria transmitir con esta maravillosa cancion
mmm tocar rapido no es tocar bien, lo toca demaciado rapido, ni siquiera interpreta bien recuerdos de alahambra, simplemente no me gusto asi ademas le da demaciadas pausas y tiene que ser corrido a la misma velocidad
se nota que no tienes ni la minima idea de lo que es interpretacion, las pausas y pequenos silencios son lo que hacen a esta pieza lo que es, hay que interpretar con sentimiento, no todo plano
I like the way that he plays this piece. It's still peaceful but it doesn't put you to sleep. Some artists play this piece too slowly or too fast. Yepes's playing is just in between. :)
Para mí, Yepes es el mejor interprete de este tema.Muy buen uso de las dinámicas, las intensidades, volumen y claridad en la técnica. Al tocar mas rápido y más cerca del puente logra un sonido más flamenco, rememorando la herencia árabe y la influencia omnipresente del duende flamenco en las calles, cuevas y montes granadinos. No se puede aislar a la música de su entorno, y esto es " Guitarra Española", no "Guitarra Clásica", y las diferencias de técnica son apreciables.
si pero toma en cuanta que recuerdos de alhambra esta considerada como clasica, y tocarla de otro modo sin interpretacion y muy rapido, yo lo veo como un insulto a los guitarristas clasicos, bueno ese es mi punto de vista, por lo general la velocidad para recuerdos es 120 y yepes facil lo a de tocar a 160 o mas aproximadamente, "tocar rapido no es tocar bien"
For example, my preferred piece is Asturias (Leyenda) and I have 25 interpretations by 25 more or less known names in classical guitar. Some interpretations are slower, some faster, some are exciting, some rather boring, but only the one by Yepes flows the way my ears consider natural.
For pure cops, Yepes´ certainly had more technique and fluidity. The difference between Segovia´s Villa-Lobos Estudo 1 and Yepes´ is like night and day. But those are individual pieces. Unfortunately, we have to compare to have some references and, the good thing, is that we find both are references. Neither should be discarded but rather appreciated dialectally as a thesis (Segovia) and antithesis (Yepes) whose synthesis (both side by side) is our pleasure.
As I said, both Yepes and Segovia are great masters, but as I hear it, Yepes builds his interpretations based on his own feelings, more than Segovia does.
How much 10-string guitar contributes to what I hear? Sound is fuller, giving deeper meaning to ideas composers built into their pieces. And how I see/hear it, Yepes digs these ideas out, almost guessing authors' thoughts.
One might nor agree with me, but that's how I experience both Yepes and Segovia.
Yepes is Yepes and Segovia is Segovia. Both are/were masters and in the realm of classical guitar there is no one (so far) to be like any of them.
Requerdos de l'Alhambra as Yepes plays it is THE best interpretation of the piece ever. Segovia was never able to breath in so much emotions and rhythm as Yepes did. (Having said that, there are pieces where Segovia rules.)
30 years ago I saw them both on the stage. What can I tell you ... Yepes had to play 12 encores.
For Ulixa: since you saw them both live, what is your evalutaion of the sound and projection of each. Does a ten string guitar project better? I saw Segovia many years ago and was impressed by the fullness of his sound, but also the squeaks and buzzes.
I saw them both alive long time ago in my early twenties and was impressed by both, not paying too much attention to anything but sound produced by their fingers. I didn't have a chance to hear them in concert again.
They made me dream about playing classical guitar and later, listening their music again on records, I decided that Yepes is my preference, more so because my boyfriend (today my husband) was listening only Yepes and Manitas de Plata. (He didn't change his preferences since.)
Much has been said about Yepes' choice of tempo for this piece. My belief is that those who prefer the usual slower tempo do so more out of habituation than musical sensibility. Should a violinist, flautist, or singer perform the melodic line of the piece, to achieve a cantabile line that does not drag, the tempo would necessarily be faster than that of most guitarists (who perhaps cannot sustain that tempo). Why should Yepes not do the same, simply because he can and because it SINGS?
I put his comment on the Narciso Yepes plays Bach Prelude. I hate to be redundant but does he really needs 10 Chords to play with 6 Cords?? He is really a fantastic interpreter (Concertist) but give me a break!! what's the purpose of the 10 cords?? showing off coño!!
Notice the stacatos in the last section of the A major - repeats of the E and F. Very interesting. As for tempo this is about right as F. Tarrega emphisized ANDANTE. QUARTER NOTES M.M = 98 - 108.
Are you cooking or playing music? What is there to rush? Totally lacks the smooth feeling of this piece. It is a shame to play it like that with this your capability...
you know nothing....infact yepes is one of the masters like segovia,(they look the same)..listen and watch carefully...he made this on purpose,,,"because he can play"....

I certainly don't enjoy how unsentimental this
interpretation is.On the other hand,playing every-
