Sor Mozart Variations Gregoriadou High-tuned guitar

[LutenistDeMari]

Proof that you have to beware of dogmatically accepting the findings of so-called 'research'. There is nothing inherently 'correct' about something just because someone wrote a paper. Work in sonic/aural realities... avoid guitars that sound like a cage full of canaries and a hungry cat. I don't understand the idea behind the sound.... guitars in Sor's time were clearly strung at Lower tension than our standard, not higher. Plus Sor played without nails = mellow, not piercing.

[sgregoriadou]

Opinion fanatically expressed, deprived from historical reality, knowledge blocked by self confusion! Case typical 1)You wrongly assume that my gtr has high tension, you confuse frequency with tension.A string can be highly tuned and still low tensed, this is a great achievement of this world acclaimed research 2)Even if he wished Sor couldn't have a mellow sound due to his string material: wound gut. His no-nails technique refers to the old lute idiom, not our modern nylon-orientated gtr sound.

It seem to be technically too difficult for you.

[Dogaradodia]

Certified Intergalactic! One of a kind performance! I can hear the bass sound clearly at the beginning. Keep it up, Smaro!

[sgregoriadou]

Many thanks, Gilbert.

Did I hear it correctly? You added the bass notes at the beginning. They're great! I don't hear them on Segovia's video. This makes it your own variation! I want a repeat performance!

Thanks for your nice comments

All best

[Henhouse2005]

dont like the tone of the guitar but everything else is really nice

[msutton2006]

anyone else think that she looks almost indentical to ana vidovic in the face in this video? her body language is very similar to ana's while playing this peice too i think. all that being said, i like gregoriadou's interpretation of this tune better than vidovic's.

[msutton2006]

whoa! dear god..except for when she stands up at the end.

[pfvirus]

Wonderful! Beautiful! The tone along with your technique, body language and the joy on your face truly made you at one with the guitar!

You have a really fluid and elegant style of playing that complements the music beautifully. Most unusual and interesting guitar as well.
