[queruz]

Wonderful sound, very musical, Thanks for sharing this.

Hi Rob! You really are quite the talent; BHO members turn up in the strangest places, haha.

[TheJester1962]

Eloquent, elegant and mellifluous - I'm sure the Sun King would have stayed awake way past his majesty's bedtime while relishing this...

Rob, have you seen the baroque guitars they sell at EarlyMusicShop? Is the price of these reasonable?

[RobMacKillop]

@0pteryx

I don't know those guitars, so can't comment. Alexander Batov makes inexpensive plain instruments which are the same as his decorated versions.

[bgtavares]

This piece, indeed, is not easy at all and your brilliant performance just make it looks even harder to play!

Thank you Mister! ;-)

10 stars out of 5!

[foetusflavour]

Any tips for anyone looking to move on from classical guitar to baroque guitar? Great video also.

[kkallebb]

Beautiful playing!

[trashkwekwe]

now THAT was nice!

[10stringGuitarist]

Hi Rob...great playing...im a huge fan of yours and love your work,,,I'm very curious though...what sort of camera are you using here ? and how do you add the reverb effect...i have to say....the sound is absolutely magnificent...is it a special computer program used for enhancing the sound ?

Thank you...

[BalcarresGuy]

The camera was the cheapest I could find about five years ago. It's by Sony, a Handycam. Really not good quality compared to HD.

I record the sound with a Zoom H2 and edit in a basic sound file editor by Nero, again nothing special, basic cheap stuff. I add reverb. In my older videos I added a lot of reverb, but these days hardly any. This video has too much for my taste now. Glad you like it, though!

increible,nice

[retsmah24]

exquisite work my dear friend..

[flyfifer51]

Love your delicate and beautiful playing. Also the guitar looks and, more importantly, sound great.

Are you performing live in near future?

[Blake12000]

Very well played Rob - I'm loving your videos and MP3s! :)

[francos1960]

Congrat you're an incredible musicist!

[BFGUITAR]

Wow this was done very well! I have high standards and you definitely surpassed them. When I hear you play for some reason it sounds like how the composer intended.

[BalcarresGuy]

Many thanks...

[DsilverF]

Wow 5*!!!

Very good performance!

[coolhazim0]

Are you still pursuing your career? Or still earning? I'm sure it'll be a hit if you performed

[glaoud]

Nice *****

[0pteryx]

Excellent. Where did you purchase this baroque guitar?

[BalcarresGuy]

From vihuelademano dotcom - I think Alexander Batov is the best and most knowledgeable baroque guitar and vihuela maker (not to mention viols). His website has a wealth of interesting information regarding instrument construction. Well worth a vist. And, no, I am not on commission! I wish ;-)

[rburmester]

Wow! very nice Rob! your guitar sounds very well! What a good instrument! regards from Brazil!

[cliverich]

I prefer the arrangement on the Julian Bream recording.

This arrangement sounds very messy.

[BalcarresGuy]

It's not an arrangement! This is what De Visee wrote.

[JMichaelThames]

Rob gorgiuos, very,very nice. Put me down for a CD.

Michael Thames

[BalcarresGuy]

Thanks, Michael. No plans for a CD, but you never know...

[lzimmer]

This is very nice! Thank's for posting. It's good to hear this music on the instrument it was composed for. LEE ZIMMER
