[OsamaMacDaddy]

this man is genius, watched a masterclass with him today, hes an absoloute genius and one of the best classical guitarists out there.

[MrBibiBarcelona]

Pavel Steidl is one of the best classical guitarist in the world still alive.

I had the chance to see him performing during a concert in France.

He is awesome! One of the artists where you don't look the price on your ticket when you go to see him! Very nice guy, you can talk to him at the end of the show.

[adoroshenko]

шикарно !

[frankyoung13]

[nendetsja106]

a spectacular and magical interpretation

[00SuRaYa00]

[cihad2003]

why has this video so much dislikes?

[WilfriedAnonymo]

@cihad2003 Conservative Traditionalists. Haters will hate. At least his place is not with those cold and timid souls who have never known victory nor defeat. (that's a quote right?)

[TheKomando007]

maestro

[Aeraldo]

@firstshadowfinaqua

Bach? :D Fur Elize was written by L. van Beethoven dude! :)

[shai901]

0:59 lol



[MetalicStevie]

While he's an excellent guitarist... what the fuck is he playing? This is not Fur Elise.

[xXhavok1900Xx]

my jaw was on the desk for all of that

[iJoodoe]

He gives a lot of hope to the guitarist with shorter fingers. Excellent. 

[jammin1acoustic]

he is so much fun to watch live! i saw him in india and throughout the whole preformance he was goofing around with his silly faces and making everyone laugh, it was great. and he is of coarse amazing to listen to!

[TommyCurrell]

LoL 1:57 :D! nice touch

[wcbombers21]

This cat is wild man!! I can dig with the most!! He is A true Instrument of Nature!!

[kisskisshoneyhoney]

Beethoven would dig this. Funky baby.

[divinegod102]

@kisskisshoneyhoney Indeed, Beethoven just rolled over in his grave.

[dusanOravec]

[kirilzah]

[putonyourmonkeysuit]

hezky hraje (:

[jdfrancor]

yo lo vi en vivo, gran maestro

[pekkamac]

I think Pavel is the second best classical guitarist in the world.

The best... no idea. Just not wanted to make an overstatement.

[Ozzy8741]

wow that guy is amazing!!

[ArjanAJ]

omg, he's a robot

[MK88Ultra]

if robots could play like this the human race would be in a lot of danger...

[gammelbarx]

HAMMER

[jorgeandresossa]

genial

[trufolo82]

great musician, great teacher and great person too

[Ulikses]

hm, i dont like his right hand...his wrist seems too tensed...

[RandomMocker]

Haha it's anything but tense, trust me.

[RandomMocker]

Except of course when he wants to tense it up. He has many different strokes, some coming from the shoulder which is maybe what you see as being tense.

[akrobandit]

it's amazing to see him playing live!!!

[Za7a7aZ]

Like Eddy van Halen.......but than different. LOL

[M1K3GUITAR]

he's like a robot ahaha!

[denicpetar]

WOW !!!!

[panagogt]

WARNING!!! From now on pianists should play "mephisto waltz" as "waltz" because otherwise Pavel Steidl will come and destroy you!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Really nice played!

[dacoalex]

amazing video

[swkim8888]

I wish to play this song.

but how can i get it?

[clapton79]

Do NOT ever try it.

Rarerly is there a LIVE version of a song on TABs. But if there is one for this, you surely go crazy if you try to learn it. That's why I don't learn Paco de Lucia songs either.

[ZeuS93]

Idiot, who cares how he looks ? The main thing is how hes playing.

[DeadMumakil]

@ZeuS93 yeah right, he is awesome...

but he still looks funny xD

[isaacfreeman]

It really doesn't matter how he looks you shallow... FUCK SALT!

[robertthegamer95]

i understand that this is amazing and i could never do this... but it sounds cluttered at points and uneasy to listen to but overall pretty good

[ZeuS93]

True

[guitarrista321]

ugly music is made beautiful by the artist's expression, and he's got plenty of expression here

[HybridWorm]

es un genio!!! a genius!!!!

[kifrom30]

oyeeeee pero que caremondá pá toca bacanoa nojodaaaaaaaaaa...

[radicaldreamer01]

i want the tabs!!! :D

just kiddin

he's brilliant

[Upset14]

Toto je Umelec s velkym U

[juansixstring]

lña primera vez que vi ye scuche a pavel fue en el 2005, la segunda en 2006 y las dos veces sali muy imprecionado por su tecnica, temperamento , y renovacion de la guitarra clasica, creo quen de pavel en adelante se biene una nueba raza de guitarristas clasicos, es de pavel para adelante que hay que mirar. el hizo un quiebre junto con otros grandes. gran aporte a la guitarra master

[franklibrary]

Beautiful!

[The3irik92]

Saw Steidl in Bergen 2008. Jeez... he played this piece as his encore. Fantastic!

[inventiontension]

Wow Skills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[listeningtothevoid]

I had the luck learning the guitar with Pavel as one of my teachers (80's and 90's). Pavel is not only a great guitarist, but also one of the nicest persons I have met. It is wonderful to see he gets the recognition he deserves.

Pavel, have a great 2009, Maarten

[radicaldreamer01]

masterly

[Mr3san0]

.....spettacolare....!!!

[SxyTube]

Its amazing how Steidl Transformed Lambada für Elise into a more interesting and complex piece

[guitarcameron]

Pavel Steidl is genius.

[strattororro]

brillante version!!

[jimbojimbojimbojimbo]

Finally someone who is adding a fusion of other styles into the classical world

[BassGK]

what a fantastic skills! brilliant musician!

[aaron0000123]

2:00

wtf?

he slapped his face

i think he was getting out of control XD

nice work though

love improvisions

[djpoppyt]

He was playing percussion on his cheek. That is why he opened his mouth when he did it. It made a hollow popping sound.

[turxxx]

Cool!

[jhg12989]

I think he is just improvising

[markmdavis]

Yeah. This is absolutely fabulous!

[mathiasclassicguitar]

if i somehow get my hands on the score it would actually be fun to play something...für elise

[italiangirl55]

chrissy: i just got back from caird hall concert and it owned, pwned says sister. 9 freaking encores and i shook his freaking hand. i touched greatness. and my mum got a hug

[capnpayne]

I have had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Steidl in person and of playing for him and he is really an incredible performer and all around genius.

[therealcord]

wow that was amazing thanks for uploading.

Amazing technical skill, and he shows emotion and looks like he actually enjoys playing, compared to the 99% of other classical guitarists ive seen that just look like robots...

[guitarclaus]

unbelievable....what fun this man have....a great musician with humor....thats true entertainment...and great technic and music too.

[bodenschwelle]

many thanks for uploading, this man is unbelievable

[guitarcameron]

pavel steidl is seriously the greatest living guitarist in my book

[loldoctor]

haha i totally jammed w/ pavel once! he did most of the work.

[Sitas]

he gave me a hug at the end of guitar workshops in poland:))

[LNcello]

Great talent! I'd never heard of him till a radiostation (Netherlands, ~ 3 yrs ago) announced his concert of that evening in the Concertgebouw, AMS, then played a CDtrack. I was stunned! Even thru my poor office radio, I could sense the musical geniality. Partly wondering how - being a cello and string quartet geek - I'd appreciate a guitar solo concert, I phoned for a ticket. Concert was gorgeous - indeed 3 geniuses in one! He didnot loose the audience even for a second. Rare, very rare.

[lovermann]

I visited his concert in Prague about 2 years ago. Unforgettable!

[guitargiiiirl]

the best musican/guitarist/artist we have at the moment!! extremly spectacular concerts, such a pleasure to see!!

[jose044]

a standing ovation was never so deserved

[superkikki]

Ti amo Pavel! Sposiamoci!! :D

[SheffieldJr2002]

Potentially the greatest guitarist of the century. The dynamics, sensitivity, and emotional expression can not be appreciated on less than the best recordings and Hi Fi systems. Unfortunately some of his recordings seem to be out of print. Steidl should give us his interpretation of Tarrega and Barrios to bring his name to the light.

[RandomMocker]

Take the word "potentially" out of that and I would comepletely agree :D

[jose044]

i just saw him on my city, he reminds me Steve vAI...

[nickiler]

no jose no

[jose044]

si nico si XD

[ToniSoadMix]

o.o

Unbelievable

[neomedcihan83]

succesfully

[unopiufigo]

you are my best guitarist I saw 1 your concert in my city and it was a most beautifull

[danielmagli]

Bravo !

[ewsko13]

Bravo!!! Swietne!

[radanpapezik]

Pavel is such a master musician..fact, that he's often writing music by himself is a proof..and he's a charming person as well..

[sotonemuel]

This is definitely 5 stars! Whoever put 4 stars must know how to play this song even better.

[akrobandit]

wonderful ;)

[castnj]

Pavel Steidl= MUSICALIDAD

Críticos= Olvido

Ástor Piazzolla, Paco de Lucía, Bach, etc., etc. han sido criticados exactamente con la misma ferocidad, para luego, con el tiempo ser alabados. Los puristas son así y por la subjetividad de la opinión personal, a final de cuentas cada quien tiene su propia verdad. La mía? Gran MÚSICO, más que guitarrista, yo también lo conocí en persona y es como muy, muy pocas personas hay, si no es que único.

[bdggy]

My favourite guitarist! He is the artist! I'm proud i plaed 2 hours later than he on Balaton 2007 in Hungary!

[joseaglz]

claro que sí es arte, está genial, no seamos tan conservadoress!!! además no creo que ni tú ni yo podamos escribir eso.

creo que debe ser arte si éste señor tocó ésto el pasado jueves en el festival internacional de saltillo, o apoco eso tampoco es arte??

todo, todo, y todo es artee

[gallito1010]

nice version of fur elise!

[minegishishozo]

I would like to know: why most people like acrobacy instead o music?

[betto2000]

We are talking about Music!! Can't you listen and feel ?

[minegishishozo]

To listen and feel as if you where hearing music...??? you think that is the way you must hear music?

Good imagination!!! congratulations!!!!

Music is music, no matter you try to listen and feeling. This is not music. This is acrobacy.

Good for you if you can find music here.

Slow Down Culture, men!!!

[craigalake]

You don't get it do you? It's not meant to be great music. This is musical humour. You know, FUNNY. By the way, I have seen Pavel several times in concert and he is one of the most profoundly musical players I have ever seen. His 19th century performance practice is considered second to none. He can turn the most inanely boring piece of 19th cent crap into something special. Is acrobacy a word?

[Jive51]

Maybe you will consider my compositions to be music, as far as they are simple? Thus, I enjoyed more than what I can express this composition made by Pavel. And I didn't consider it to be acrobatic, but fully musical.

You were more than surely tired when you listened.

Pavel is a pure genius, and he has no limit !!!

[AndanteLargo]

WOW! Amazingly done! A Master!! Sigh...

Peo

[gitarre1987]

upload more please!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jive51]

A pure genius, playing a masterpiece, and judged 4 stars?!?

What a pity!!!

Thank you a lot! I was searching since a long time a good video from Pavel, and thanks to you, here is it, with a good soundtrack, but a bit loud.

[gitarre1987]

Great as always!what is the guitar he play?he always play on the Karl-Heinz Roemmich(at least as he came to my university).But on the video is not.

[craigalake]

A friend of mine, Simon Rovis-Hermann, recently made a guitar for him and he used it in Australia last year but it is not the one in this video. He even briefly owned a Smallman (I have heard) but quickly got rid of it as one should.

[phalopalo]

Pocas veces me producido una sensación de gracias con musicalidad este guitarrista que conocí el año pasado en Rio de Janeiro.

Bravooo Pavel Steidl

Cesar Amaro

[minegishishozo]

Don César: Interesante lo que hace este señor. Pero, puede decirme si esto es arte?

¿Estamos en la época en donde música se confunde con circo?

Yo puedo tocar con los pies si mi hijo me lo pide. Pero: Es arte? Partamos de la base que arte (lo que usted creo que trata de hacer) es elevación de la personalidad, del espíritu. Bajo esa base podemos juzgar que esto es arte?

Un gran saludo de alguien que lo admira.

[barramundo]

con todo respeto, si usted puede tocar esto con los pies, espero que ponga un video, asi podremos decidir si es arte o no, por el momento creo que ya es bastante heróico tocar la guitarra asi con las dos manos, puede usted hacerlo tambien???, gracias.

[Sudokuballer]

Betto, I was so lucky to be one of his students some years ago in The Netherlands where he was a guitar teacher. I have been playing the guitar for over 40 years autodidactic, but what Pavel showed me really made me start from scratch again. On my 47th birthday he played the Chaconne on my guitar for me personally. Indeed Pavel's interpretation is the best I have ever heard. I think Pavel is a living legend and genius, probably the kind like Barrios Mongore.

[guitar1050]

what did he show you that made you rethink your guitar playing?

[Sudokuballer]

Hello guitar 1050, Pavel showed me "planting" ; the technique to plant you right hand fingers on the strings before striking the string. When this is practised slowly and speeded-up later you can play faster and without side noice.

Cheers

[betto2000]

Thank you for the comments. This is all that I got from Pavel for the moment. Hopefully in a few months I might be able to get more videos of him, or perhaps with some luck there is someone else that can post more videos of the great Pavel. I met him in concert and masterclass, both were unforgettable experiences. An authentic musician. His performance of the Bach Chaconne BWV1004 is for me the most beautiful interpretation I ever heard on the guitar.

[craigalake]

I have to say I love Pavel's playing, he is my favourite player, but I did not like his Chaconne (too romantic I thought without much attention to correct Baroque performance practice). His Losy suite is beautiful. He played it during a break at a class he was giving that I attended in Perth, Australia. Just so great to see a performer of his level just sitting down and playing because he loves playing and sharing.

[SylvieMarie]

what an amazing musician! i too would like to thank you for putting up this vid.

:)

[Sudokuballer]

Thank yuo for putting this video of Pavel on Youtube.

Looking out for more please?
