La Rossiniana

[newislandguitar]

Great vid and editing...all 3 of them are fantastic guitarist. It would have been fun to have heard them playing something a little more technically challenging -"La Rossiniana" is fairly easy piece but gives a lot of opportunity for players to show their interpretations and focus on playing with passion and so Pepe Romero really stands out in this regard. Excellent post!

[dloquetepierdes]

somebody have the sheet music?

[Camtoonz]

they all 3 have a haunting quality yet it is Bream that is the finest wine of the bunch!

[60moo]

Fisk brings this piece to life. 

[koohbarfi]

Bream. Definitely.

[musicofdano]

personally I think it's pointless. The comparing of apples and oranges. A little boys game. At this level they are all good. I think it's great that each of them has their own interpretation of the piece. makes things interesting. I'm not interested in robots!

[mrfishbowls]

As much as it must have hurt bream to take a break from playing the music of Britten Walton and Bach to play some of the silly little guitar composers, you must admit he does it well...

[sodom87]

I think marcin dylla's version is the best

[commentmutant]

@sodom87 an opinion is an opinion people..

[bluesplayinhen]

I've only heard one person mention Marcin Dylla's name, his version is brilliant!

[vinnothelizard]

DESIDERIO ISTHE GREATEST EVER CLASICAL GUITARIST EVER GRACED THE PLANET!!! anniello desiderio!! forever!!CHECK IT OUT!!

[JPMusicMarc7]

@vinnothelizard Totally Agree !

[vinnothelizard]

@JPMusicMarc7 ..............thank u for knowing ur stuff!! there are assholes who know nothing about the guitar !!

[Mtallica101]

Julian Bream plays this the best hands down. I have the whole 11 or so mins of him playing it on a CD and he is superb.

[Mtallica101]

Amendment to that, i just found the CD, and its 15minutes.

[globule200]

and it's 15 minutes of pure extasis and happiness ... Bream...

[winds0fcreation0]

case in point if you need one, right at 13 seconds the scale that leads into the theme there has so much energy in it, and the accents he puts on the chords in the next part are really what VIVACE should sound like to me.

[winds0fcreation0]

Ah classical musicians find it hard to listen to someone taking a different approach. To me his playing is so vibrant with life and passion that the music seems alive again in the 21st century. To me its not about playing perfectly on rythem with perfect tone and expression, I like the exciting approach fisk takes even though it has its inaccuracies, at least its alive

[maxhiner699]

Personally, I think that David Russell's version is the best.

[santgil]

David Russell

[Blackmore1987]

migliore sicuramente bream!

[winds0fcreation0]

fisk dominated it as usual

[pengeaumont270508]

You must be kidding!

[guitar8888888]

que rossiniana estan tocando????

[ferllio23]

no. 1

[Fragglestickcar666]

Putting Fisk in a competition with anyone is hilarious, fisk sucks so much...

[StephenM02]

I get that feeling. Why is he so famous?

[petersuki]

If someone told you you'd only have one source of music to listen to you'd take Bream over everyone else.

[tuxedomoon]

The best Rossiniana every played by far was By Alexande Lagoya the best in Italian music.One of the 5 best interprartions at any any piece of classica gutar i have heard in so many years ,out of this world eprfomance,the best Lagoya ever did.

Unfortunately he didnt record it and i lost the tape from a live concert i had,it is wanted if anyone has it.

[ferllio23]

Check out Marcin Dylla's versiono of this.

[cardio35]

Fisk performance has fire. He wins.

[commentmutant]

wow there was a competition going on?

[what567]

god bream is shit.

[pengeaumont270508]

I've noticed you slating Fisk a lot on here...Nice work! :)

[pengeaumont270508]

Oh and Romero waaaaaaayyyyy ahead of Fisk.

[pengeaumont270508]

No comparison... BREAM by bloody miles!

[kAmmermuZik]

Bream plays it like music !

[Mtallica101]

Bream ... hands down

[zeitboy24]

simplemente bream

[starsandnobodys]

Bream....!

[philomelodia]

Bream. Fisk is too fast, and too loud without much variation in tone. He's just "shredding".  Romero is too slow and doesn't seem to give the piece any life. I was rather bored by his rendition. Bream though ... ah, Bream was just right. Amazing artist, that man. Did Segovia ever play this? If so, is it on youtube? I'd be interested to hear him play it.

[codonauta]

As a poet of my province said once, "art is not a racing where someone has to arrive ahead", but I like very much the sonority which Bream gets when playing.

[jeffbeckkkk]

haha.......bream is a funny guy...!!

[toddbillingsleyguitr]

Each have their own way of interpreting it. I like all three for different reasons. I saw some dude from Czech Republic play this live the other day and he blew these performances out of the water.

[Thuringen]

who? not out of incredulity, I simply want to know. I do know the Czech have produced many great musicians so i could believe it, and it's always good to find a new guitar master to listen to.

[wanderlei2333]

simplemente julian bream¡¡¡¡¡

[omaregb]

a mi opinion, bream ... por mucho

[scionpol]

I adore Bream!!!

[ewusie]

There is so little music in this study that the cards would seem to be stacked in favor of the pure technician; their is little for the musician to discover in this second rate piece, and therefore little room to shine. I'd like to here Julian play it at Pepe's tempo. Faster is only better if its a race; this is music

[guitarwizard6]

Fisk flat-out blows away the others. Even at a far faster tempo, his arpeggios are clearer and overall he plays with the requisite bravura.

[drvitore]

Bream, Romero, Fisk....all greats in order of greatness on this piece.

[napoleonbXX]

i vote for julian bream though romero and fisk are unbelievable

[VTguitar88]

This section is marked Allegro Vivace. The guitarist who best captures this here is Fisk. The others are more like Andante Aburrido. I have immense respect for all three guitarists though, and each has done wonders for the instrument.

[voodooorc]

Very nice video, indeed all versions are very original. Sho creo que eliot fisk no es malo, muchas cosas las toca con bastante dificultad, tiene un potente sonido, lo unico malo es que aveces produce sonidos con sus garras que son bastante molestos al oido. Y otra es que en vivo se equivoca mucho :SSSsSSSsSSSss

[kikihell]

sacandole mucho volumen al instrumento, cosa que no cualquiera hace, ya que la guitarra es un instrumento de cuerda pulsada y por más de que uno intente nunca va a tener tanto volumen como un violín, en fin esas son mis razones para defender al maestro Fisk, y bueno no es que de estos 3 uno sea mejor, a mi me gusta mucho la interpretación de Bream, de hecho es de los guitarristas más recomendables para escuchar, y aquí no es la exepción, pepe romero lo toca muy bien y fisk tambien lo toca bien.

[kikihell]

No entiendo a la gente que escribe cosas malas sobre el Mtro.Eliot Fisk, la verdad es un músico asombroso, y uno de los mejores maestros que hoy en día alguien pueda tener, es triste que mismos "músicos" digan que no es bueno, que se equivoca o que tiene un mal gusto por tocar, yo no lo veo así, el maestro Carlos Bonell me comento una vez que lo que pasa con Eliot es que aveces tiene malas rachas, y eso nos pasa a todos,Fisk está en donde está por algo, por su genio de interpretar, por tocar...

[DAMFGuitar]

Sin lugar a dudas, Julian Bream el mejor de todos los tiempos, sin el sonido espantoso de Fisck y con una magia inigualable. Pepe Romero absolutamente fuera de estilo... como siempre. La interpretacion de Bream es dificilmente igualable.

[fruscia123]

Bream- Aber übrigens tolle Idee ! nice idea for the video!

[ZabArabZarak]

Yo creo que definitivamente la pasion y la habilidad técnica que muestra Bream es despues de la de segovia y de la de manuel lopez ramos insuperable. saludos :):)

[theoden707]

In mi opinion, Fisk has way bigger cajones than Bream or Pepe. I love all three, but cmon, if I were stranded on a desert Island with not beautiful women, but some guitarist,well never mind this is getting weird.

[Rexicano]

Idoit!

[AlfonsWimmer]

Hervorragend!

[shai901]

bream is the winner!

bream know how to play this piece,he understand all the motifs. bream is the master of the classical guitar.

fisk play it nice but not like bream...

[donnyboy057]

the motiffs aren't really that hard to understand, but i do agree bream has a nice interpretation. Although due to the showiness of this piece I have to give my vote to Fisk who, in my opinion, plays it with the vigor and conviction in what the spirit of the piece was intended.

[rafatecate]

and the winner is??

Giulio Tampalini

Bravo Giulio!!!

[chacha421]

I agree with most that vote for Bream the Bream recording is melodic and shows his complete mastery of the instrument. Don't forget that producers and recording engineers have some input in this process. The Bream recording quality even though not digital---- is very superior. Although like the post--- I like all e performers---- for what they contribute---and inspiration they provide.

[tachiniger]

Fisk representa todo lo que un guitarrista deberia llegar a ser, un guitarrista con un estilo propio con interpretaciones sin miedo a los errores y en las cuales la tecnica pasa a un segundo plano.

[DAMFGuitar]

Lo que deberia ser todo guitarrista es un deseo muy personal, yo prefiero ser lo que deberia ser todo MUSICO, un artista con magia interior como lo es Bream. Fisk es como guitarrista un desprolijo y como musico un "sin criterio estetico". Lo lamento pero por suerte casi todos los artistas del mundo van en el camino opuesto a Fisk, prefieren estudiar sobre estilos antes de masacrar musica.

[philomelodia]

Pues, gracias a Dios que hay muy pocos como él. A mi pensar, esa filosofía tiene más razón en el estilo de Rock 'n Roll en donde hacer ruido, tocar rápido, y no preocuparse pr la tecnica rigen supremos. Un guitarrista clásico debe ser refinado.

[voodooorc]

dios no existe, y necesitas conocer el estilo segoviano para saber porque fisk es uno de los grandes maestros de la guitarra.

[philomelodia]

Si tu no quieres creer en Dios, es cosa tuya. Si yo quiero creer en él, es cosa mía. En cuanto a conocer el estilo segoviano, este señor no lo tiene. Ya tengo unos cuantos años escuchando las grabaciones del maestro millones de veces y Fisk no suena como él. Te diré que una que otra grabación me trae a la mente a Segovia pero, en este caso, Segovia ya lo hubiera parado muchas veces. él acariciaba sus notas, no las golpiaba. Le sacaba el jugo a cada nota como hizo Bream.

[pabloguzman85]

Totalmente de acuerdo con tu comentario.. Berio compuso la sequenza para él, no?? qué loco.. porq el tipo es un pseudo virtuoso. Muy mal gusto! no sé en base a qué logro tanto éxito. Es realmente mediocre. Un abrazo.

[SixStringGunSlinger]

wow...very interesting to hear differant interpritations from these masters...I am a fan of them all but Bream has long sice been my mane inspiration to play.I enjoyed mr. romero very much here...u should make other videos like this...when u have time.

[pabloguzman85]

aaaaaaand de winner iiiis : Julian Bream

[chopinalpiano]

Totalmente, Bream es el verdadero maestro, Fisk es una deshonrna.

[pabloguzman85]

Fisk apesta...fijate el video en el que está tocando en vivo el capricho 24 de paganini...es impresentable ese muchacho. Bream está más allá, siempre..se da el lujo de interpretar las obras. Un saludo chopin!salud!

[chopinalpiano]

Es así, Fisk es muy canchero y siempre comete errores, además de no tener matices y tocar siempre muy violentamente. Es desagradable de escuchar. No entiendo cómo era tan querido por Segovia, ni cómo es profesor en Salzburgo, nunca me gustaría tener un alumno que suene como Fisk. En cambio Julian es un genio, capaz de ponerle interés a cualquier nota, y no le falta nada a la hora de tocar.

[ZabArabZarak]

total y completamente de acuerdo contigo :):):)

[philomelodia]

Estoy completamente de acuerdo con usted. Ese Fisk cree que está tocando Flamenco en un bar. Solo le falta abrir la boca y pergar un grito como si lo estubieran torturando.
