[Boldstrummer]

that was pretty intense and awesome. . .

[TheStephenL]

Great music, great player. I have to find the score for this. Thank you Marcin!

[jacobcs]

he just made that guitar and every other guitar in the known world his permanent and ever lasting bitch(es).

[rawrgDX]

Awesome! If he really only had a few months to learn it here, I'd like to see him play it now! XD

[vekigitara]

one of the best guitar player ever!!!! :D

[MrSnorlax22]

The best GFA winner!

[jacobcs]

i love how emotionaly he presents himself. haha at the very end you could tell he was relieved that it was over. what a bad ass musian.

[misaelroco]

Just wanted to let everyone know that when I had the chance to hang with him for a little while he actually told me that they had given this piece to him 3 months before the premier and that besides the fact that it is a monster piece he had other things going on too. Cheers

[robbienance]

This piece was composed in 1933 (just the 2nd guitar piece by Rodrigo). It was written upon request from Regino Sainz de la Maza (for whom the Aranjuez was dedicated). The piece was never performed or published until 2005, when it was discovered among Sainz de la Maza's archives. In 2006, it was given to Marcin Dylla to premiere at the Rodrigo Competition. In 1943 Rodrigo published a rearranged version of this piece in the form of the Prelude to the violin concerto Concierto de Estio.

[Theonedue]

Someone needs to practice more...

[omaregb]

@Theonedue yeah he messed up a little bit, but, man thats a fucking hard piece, i will forgive him

[Theonedue]

He did a decent job for sure.

[HatanoD]

I know he is a great player but this performance is a bit rough for his standard. I imagine he was ask to play this piece and he wasn't 100% enthusiastic about it.

Great job though, personally I think it's a great project too.

[tranzenic]

Wow, stunning!

First time hearing this guy and this piece. Man, they f-ing rock!

[ImperialK2]

Is this the premier of the Rodrigo piece he was asked to do by Cecilia? Does anyone know?

[josipallegro]

Yes it is.I was there, in Madrid on last Rodrigo competition 2006

[jargenlink]

Great playing I have tons of classical guitar videos on my site if anyone is interested.

[tranzenic]

then do post here.

[karol92ol]

this is the most difficult piece ever written for guitar ;o

[Fallaji]

i dunno.. brouwers sonata comes close

[Artistwolf1993]

I think Music of Memory by Nicholas Maw is similar, both of them are really difficult

[Fallaji]

fair point. however music of memory is a lot less melodic than this toccata or the aforementioned sonata.

[FrancisArief]

This guy has great stage presence

[guitarwizard6]

His guitar is made by Boguslav Teryks.

[mramosribeiro]

Who is the luthier of this guitar?Great sound!

[Juhasjanosik]

Moim zdaniem Dylla to jeden z najciekawszych gitarzystów naszych czasów. Operuje on przede wszystkim przepięknym dźwiękiem, frazuje z niespotykanym wyczuciem. Bardzo lubie sluchać jego gry.

[guitarradeviento]

Impresionante! Me encanta la música de Joaquín Rodrigo y más cuando es interpetada por los mejores!!

[GeeZeRWoD]

Great! I love this guy!

[tequilla503]

[ArthurRimer]

It's always hard to give a premiere of a difficult work. I hope Marcin Dylla keeps it in his repertoire and matures with it and that other guitarists will also perform it...

->Probably still more can be done with the material, regarding the interpretation.

(I wonder how long Marcin had the score, prior to this performance)

[pxs109]

that's the problem, when i met him in buffalo in 2006 he told me he only had the piece for a short while.

[gitalista]

I heard just the story about this piece, I don´t know is that atrue or what but Joaquin´s daughter found this piece in Joaquin´s papers and it was a unreleased piece. She gave that piece to Marcin to make a premiere of this piece at Rodrigo competition in Spain in 2005 I think.

[prconcertartists]

@gitalista It was not Joaquin's daughter but a researcher working with her. Leopoldo Neri. She told us the story herself last year during Rafael Aguirre's winning performance of the piece at the Koblenz Guitar Festival.

I posted Aguirre's performance in Moscow as a video response, not to create debate but to portray the interpretation of this piece by a spanish guitarist. It would be good if other people could see it as well. I would appreciate it not being taken off this time.

[robbienance]

@gitalista another rumor I've heard is that Marcin had about four weeks to learn this... yikes.

[arash402003]

WOW!

[ReneMorenoL]

I have just found that this piece was written before "Concierto de Estío" so it seems that Rodrigo based his violin concerto on this piece insted of this piece based on the violin concerto. I don't know if there is another work made by Rodrigo for piano or any other instrument that was written before using this themes so for me it seems that is a very original piece made for the guitar.

[ReneMorenoL]

Another great piece made by Rodrigo. This piece is a very good arrangement made by Rodrigo of his own violin Concerto "Concierto de Estío". It is definitely a very difficult piece due to the difficulty on maintaining all the voices and speed. Mostly in the high register where you have the melody in the first string and the bass singing another melody that supports the harmony of the piece. It is a very difficult piece but worth to play it.

[rfcompte]

just decent?? it was great... amazing piece...

[rosgill6]

damn, that was decent!
