at first glance I almost thought Robert Plant was on guitar..you are amazing...like your music, like your look..like your baroque time capsule..like your bookshelf...like everthing in that room: )

[tocamadera]

Hi, first, thanks for your music, I really enjoy it... Nothing else apart of what all the people is writing you here. I got a cuestion for you, I am violin maker now enjoing making a copy of the Oxford Stradivari guitar and I want to know your opinion about the rosette: do you think that making it in layers of wood instead of parchement is worst for the sound? Thanks

[classicbanjoRM]

@tocamadera

I don't know. You should talk to Alexander Batov who made my guitar but who has also studied the Stradivari guitar in detail. Google his name.

[tocamadera]

@classicbanjoRM thanks,, it was in case you had any experience testing difert instruments because your one sounds spectacular

[yepesfan07]

just wonderful, i wish i could have a baroque guitar :(, but awesome playing :)

[zepfreakxx]

Hi, great playing, i play classical guitar & have wanted a vihuela for years, is it possible to tune it as a classical guitar (eadgbe), same intervals but different starting note, minus a base string of course. I have a lute & do a similar thing so I dont have to learn from scratch & can play my classical guitar baroque repertoire on it.

[smoothie66]

breathtaking. i can tell you really love this music by the way you play it with such respect.

[heymul25]

Beautiful; wistful; splendid.

[Gealach74]

definately the best rendition!!!!

bravo !

Vicente

[waterloo2003]

you look and play fantastic mate..at first glance I thought I was seeing Robert Plant playing here...

[BalcarresGuy]

Well if he ever wants to jam...

[rainwaterd]

I'm sure that the guys who hung around playing the Barogue guitar in the 18th/19th (?) century received abundant attention from the damsels....

[mrAltan9]

Amazing music. I have no words.

[xYEAHxKYLEx]

wow i have never seen such a enchantinting song and instrument wow you have made my day =) 5 stars

[TheJester1962]

Simply exquisite.

[KidnapDeath]

Just beautiful.

[arieldickman]

Hi Rob

i very like your playing. It inspired me to order a baroque guitar [ now it's in process]...i remember i saw a record of you playing cittern 10 years ago in Jerusalem..do you still publish cd's?

[BalcarresGuy]

Hi Ariel,

That's great news. The baroque guitar repertoire is extensive and wonderful. I hope you get a good instrument, as it can make all the difference.

I am actually recording a CD next week for the Alpha label (French), of 17thC Scottish baroque guitar music and viol. Look out for it around Christmas time.

Any chance you have a managable source from which i could purchase a baroque??

[BalcarresGuy]

Not sure what a manageable source means, but I can heartily recommend luthier Alexander Batov of vihuelademano dotcom. It's his guitar I am playing.

[clash44]

yeah, i wasn't so sure that was the word I was looking for; but either way, that was essentially the sort of answer I was looking for. Thank you very much

[GaryOguitar]

Loved it and thank you!

[Bostoncrocus]

God with a capital G may see me thru to be even a micron of the talent contained in this man. I got a classical guitar for Christmas and after finally learning Greensleeves, realize that it will take me years to learn anything close. I will study harder and maybe 50 years from now I can play this song. Anybody else out there trying to play classical guitar? I wish I lived nextdoor to this guy. I'd be on his doorstep, bake him a meatloaf. Incredible.

[andrefrica]

gaspar sanz the best

[jediaka]

Muy bien,

Tres bien.

[cr3w1n]

oh man..god gave those fingers for you to use for a reason and thats expressing the true euphony of Baroque..i've always loved baroque the first baroque tune i heard is when i was 5 and that was Green Sleeves...but you play so astoundlingly Beautiful..God Bless your soul Brother i do hope we would perform together with vivaldi and bach and various other musicians that of which you have percieved more than me..thank you for simplifying baroque on guitar THNX

[Janilainen]

I just discovered this kind of music a couple of minutes ago and you really inspired me to try playing it on guitar. Sounds really lovely! Great performance!

[BalcarresGuy]

Hi Vicente,

Yes, it is from Sanz's publication. But he may have just been arranging a popular song.

[Gealach74]

would be too much to ask you Narváez "Mille Regrets" :-)

thanks

Vicente

[BalcarresGuy]
