Why don't you add some better tags so people cam find this? It's such an amazing piece played so well.

Awesome!!!!!

When I first heard this video a few months ago I thought "cool, the composer as a performer" but after listening to it again, now I think "COOL!!! the genius behind one of the best guitar pieces of the 20th century!"

For anyone who doesn't know---there is a lot of improvisation going on in this performance. Ever since 1985 when he wrote this he intended it to be a piece in which the performer could improvise and so far he is the only one I've heard actually improvising.

[eschelar]

@oscarivera9 Check out Patrick Kearney and Edin Karamazov on the lute. Technically excellent, evocative performances. I can't tell if they play the same way every time or not but certainly some significant improvisation in their personal renditions compared to the usual.

I've been listening for several years and learning it for a month and a half and there's so much story that can be brought out in this one, it's staggering.

[kantorovich1]

you are genius! music is wanderful!

[kantorovich1]

вы гений и это достаточно, что мы можем видеть и слышать живого гения!

[SaiyanCHW]

He might not be a virtuoso, but his interpretation is filled with emotions. That's the main part of a good interpretation. I hope to be able to play with such passion. Thank you Carlo.

[rafael55]

I can't judge his playing. Worderfull composer.

[taonote]

He is obviously not just a composer but a guitar composer and a great one at that. Anyone who knows the guitar knows the difference between a composer that doesn't know how to play guitar and one who does. This has got to be the most sincere rendering of this composition under the circumstances. I'm sorry to hear all the negative feedback from what are probably touchy pretentious instrumentalists, as many classical players are. What a joy to hear what the composer actually has to say!

[Artaxbozzim]

writes a beautiful song, plays it with great intensity. But what we want, UFOs?

[jazzadellic]

And of course the performers would not even exist with out the composers....

[peterwdeng]

Agree!

[asongnadance]

Respect him as a composer who did a great piece. But I'd listen to others to play this piece. His play is not as clean. A good song writer might not sing well as a good singer. Now this is the proof. Still thanks for this upload so I get to see this great guy.

[scullshot]

@Ravaya1 I couldn't agree more

[treborreleips]

@asongnadance I've heard many different versions of "Koyunbaba" ,live and recorded . This piece is often abused by players only to show their virtuosity . Most results are boring . There are many ways of playing classical guitar ,Carlo Domeniconi developed his very personal sound and composing style. He's without any doubt a virtouso player ,more than this he develops a musical drama ,he s a storyteller . That' s the point Where did you hear any noisy tone ? Me not . Clean your ears

[classicalfede]

@asongnadance I am agree, but in my opinion, I love the musical feeling of Domeniconi. I think Carlo is as great composer as interpreter.

[ThePoisonousFish]

@asongnadance "clean" comes before "sterile". Koyunbaba as well as more or less any music is about interpretation and the emotion in you. Preferring "cleaner" performances is like preferring laser-printed vector drawings to a Picasso painting.

great!

[LUCICAGNOLO]

ascolta desiderio allora!

[liamstoaster]

Two words: blown away.

I thought Williams' was the best interpretation until just now.

[jonnahayes]

che bello

[maximusdudeus]

I agree totally with osmixxxx in that in composing this Carlo did indeed get into the turkish mindset and yes he does play with a turkish hand (so to speak).

[osmixxxx]

helal olsun sana carlo Türk gibi düşünüp Türk gibi yazmşın bu eseri başka ne denilebilinirki!!!

[OoSauronoO]

This is so much better than Li Jie 0.0

I mean I love her playing, but this is so much more impressive, emotional..

[watercolour]

hi OoSauronoO, come on, the Li Jie video u saw, she was like 15 at the time of filming, on the other hand Carlo Domeniconi is the composer and had A LOT more years of experience ahead of her. I bet Carlo Domeniconi himself couldn't do this when he was 15.

[watercolour]

hi theDragonaut , lol, Li Jie is a guitarist not a composer. Your question is just like asking what has John Williams ever written XD

[Orange1117]

o.O Are you kidding me? She was 15?

If at that age she played that good just imagine her now! :O

[mikeswbr]

cantabile is my favourite of all four parts, and this is the best I think I've ever seen it played.... thanks very much for finding/uploading these videos, there wan't much on koyunbaba on yourtube, only 2 years ago, now there is a lot of good material.

[scarletnotes]

I like this part even more than presto. Also this performance... leave me speachless. Perfect one!

[trefazol]

perfeito em todos os aspectos, a genialidade em pessoa

[deicruxified]

of all the guitar pieces i have heard, koyunbaba captured my soul

[Deerse]

This is purity itself , like Dyens , Barrios and Reinhard are /were in their own right . It is so deep and intense .

A true artist from the soul .

[marianouruguay]

Infernal!!! imponente!!!

[CarlosMacMartin]

Grande Maestro! One of my all time favorites!

Salud!

[tranzenic]

Wow a masterpiece played by the master himself. Couldn't be better.

TY for posting.

[nikosz66]

Tremendously interesting video.Domeniconi is impressive.

[kodeejames]

Right Hand! ...beautiful Carlo

[choiin79]

I hope he gets more known to the world than now. Carlo is Carlo... more than Carlo...

[GattlingGuitarGuru]

HOLY CRAP!!! Domeniconi is without a doubt my favorite composer, but having actually hearing him play now for the first time.... Damn, he's one hell of a guitar player too!

[Jitpring]

Fantastic. I'd like to hear it without the amplification though.

[deeplove500]

great domeniconi
