Kaori Muraji - Invocacion y Danza by Rodrigo

[YManCyberDude]

Very nice !!!

[TheSetras]

Quest'esecuzione è stupenda nella sua semplicità.

Brava kaori !!

[ancitobrian]

I really recomend the David Russell's version...

I enjoy this one too, the cinematography fits a bit with the piece

[JUANDAZARAMA]

love , gua

[Elevatormusicmaker]

I've been studying this video bit by bit for a few months as I'm learning it, and I've have been captivated by it! UNTIL THE TREMELO section. Do any other classical guitarists agree with me that its not the best? Or am I on my own here? Xue Fei Yang and David Russell are king and queen of this technique!

[kurapika6191]

@Elevatormusicmaker have a look at the clip Pepe Romero play Recuerdos de la Alhambra

[Elevatormusicmaker]

@kurapika6191 I don't need to, I've seen it before. Yes, forgot to mention him as well. Saw him play it live as well, before the Romero Quartet came on. Absolutely enchanting!

[Benj888]

The best composer for guitar didn't even play the instrument himself. Possibly more of a genius.

[DrLuu1972]

One of the best players on Youtube..... and a beautiful lady too !

[JohnAndrewHall1]

I'm the 56 000 th person to listen to this exquisite performance, so lucky.

[DumblyDorr]

I cannot express how deeply moved I am by this performance. One of the most difficult pieces for classical guitar - and every single note is given perfect expression. Dynamics, agogic and timbre are without doubt the pinnacle of beauty - making this piece sound so wonderfully moving.

Before, all I knew were performances that made this piece sound like a technical exercise - this interpretation moved me almost to tears.

[paripe]

Grandiosa... me han dejado sin palabras la obra y la intérprete. Kaori, con toda esa belleza y juventud, la veo entre los grandes de la guitarra.

[szndm]

Jan Oberbek - polish guitarist, who recorded "Invocacion y Danza" on album "Hiszpańska muzyka gitarowa" (Spanish guitar music) in 1979. Perfect intuition of dynamic, light technique. For many years I couldn't find interpretation as brilliant as his.

...finally.

[DyTakLobos]

I love this song, best rodrigo song for guitar in my opinion

[lezinho17]

Magnifique !

[13crickets]

Outstanding.

[uzedaclassicguitar]

Nowadays, you are the best guitarist and when you play the instrument, you transmit charming to the guitar , and few guitarists can do it.

WONDERFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[uzedaclassicguitar]

Kaori Muraji além de ser uma das melhores violonistas da atualidade, transmite ao violão um charme e um toque feminino que poucas violonista conseguem. ENCANTADORA!!!!!!!!!!

[Akrinos]

Beautiful interpretation Bravo!

[uncloned21]

4:00

[redsharingman]

hypnotizing !

[petervalientes]

le moindre d'un souffle de son donne l'impression le pas d'un esprit revenant lointain. une belle chanson ténébreuse ?

bravo!

[marcap1000]

Rodrigo's masterwork, perhaps the most beautiful music ever written for guitar.

And so masterly played!

[kubirauntain]

Sound from the heaven where Rodrigo is

[Jipushi1]

Absolutely Beautiful!!!

One of my all time favorite pieces as well as one of my favorite guitarists.

[MegaMiguelvargas]

exquisita musica, increible interpretacion y guapisima mujer. Maravilloso. gracias

[uzedaclassicguitar]

She's the best.

[uzedapire]

SIMPLY  WONDERFUL!!!!!!

[cotoocho]

que belleza de pieza!!!!

[ovadem]

Muy buena interpretacion de lo mejor que he escuchado,me importa un carajo la imagen ,el sonido perfecto,y vale ya de poner peros ,el que quiera que lo grabe y se atreva a subir el video, esta es la pieza mas completa y complicada para guitarra,el señor kaori resuelve todas las dificultades tecnicas y interpretativas brillantemente,mas con un sonido exquisito,BRAVO

[dumisedodan]

Concerto de Aranjuez, Concerto Madrigal, Invocacion y Danza, all formidable.

Joaquin Rodrigo was a GENIUS!!!!!

[jimipage69]

not to mention he was also a blind pianist which make it even more impressive the works for guitar he wrote. he didnt even really know how to play it that well

[eschelar]

whoever was editing this video was not listening to the music. Interesting to listen to but irritating to watch.

[raulpostal]

pretty fotografia and exelente guitarrist

[handir]

Bufff no me cansare de decirlo pero es la mejor partitura escrita jamas para guitarra. Impresionante!

Bueno igual se me come a alguien pero por poner algun "pero" Kaori toca algunas partes demasiado rapido, y quizas le quite un poco de sentimiento a la pieza. Por lo demas un 10.

[willraz]

I started learning this song on monday and omg it is amazing, i've only gotten up to 1:50 (2 page of 18 or 20 i think) this is an amazing song, and said to be one of the most challenging songs for classical guitar

[cr1tterp0wer]

absolutely hate this song... its like interprative dance for the guitar..... just because its interprative and hard to play doesnt make it a pleasure to listen to

you may also find this one to be interesting John Williams : Hector Villa-Lobos - Prelude no.4

a much better song.........

[willraz]

really??? i agree this song may not be the best classical song to listen to but i just love to listen to it because of all the different technical requirements, but this is a really recent song too, dictated in 1997. so maybe that's why. but that other song does sound really good.

[celisvictor]

Well, i think that kaori is an excellent performer, about Heitor Villa-Lobos's compositions, they are very different, because of the evolution in the music as time goes by, besides, its Joaquin Rodrigo and Heitor Villa-Lobos have different cultures, the spanish is very different to the brazilian in rhythms, harmony, etc., etc., also they lived in different times. Villa-Lobos 1887-1959 and Rodrigo 1901-1999

Well, i would say "en gustos se rompen géneros" or ... one size doesn't fit all ;)

[takeox]

Its of course a question of taste ... but Invocacion y danza is one of the best compositions for solo guitar, maybe THE best composition for solo guitar within Rodrigos works. Rodrigo won a compositor competition with this piece, the 1961 Coupe International de Guitare, a competition organized by the French broadcasting company. It's such a compact and complex piece that it for sure takes time to understand the structure and the more you understand the more beautiful and genius it seems.

[takeox]

For me personally it has more substance than many other solo works for guitar of any century.

Its really worth to spend some time to decrypt this piece for both, performer and listener :)

Eventually I agree with Lobos works are fun to play but only because they are more idiomatically written and easier to understand it doesnt make them MORE fun to play or listen them for me.

[cesarguitarrista]

No me canso de decirlo.....ella es grandiosa¡¡¡

[indigoTwinsen]

I was also trying this one this, but it's too much difficult for me. I managed only few pages :-(

[Muso8787]

Rodrigo would be touching himself.

[bicguitar]

Great playing, you really show musical depth and a great technique. A atmospheric and powerful performance.

[willraz]

Wow, all that technique man, arct is crazy

[kanharu]

Es maravillosa!! ^^ me encanta! subarashii desuyo!!!

[FiatObscuritas]

HermosísimO!!!!!!!!

[1Enkidu]

Great videos. Cinematography, performance (obviously), interpretations...one could not want for more..

I truly enjoy her playing. the more of her I see the more I like her.

Thanks for posting these.

Kind regards

[bevrocksjared]

wow very passionate

[kubirauntain]

She is a shrine maiden of god Rodrigo.

So,it sounds like the music which sounds from Heaven.

[kubirauntain]

She loves Joaquin Rodrigo's pieces.

And Joaquin Rodrigo also loves her performance from Heaven.

[AmorRespefEythang]

This moody, evocative piece is lovingly played with such passion and sensitivity!! The world melts away...

[UmbralSea]

This could not be more perfect...

[RandomMocker]

VERY impressive, coming from another classical guitarist, thats the best version i think i ever have or WILL see of that piece.

[galabia]

Yeah, it's called "studio magik". Amazing, isn't it. (not to say she doesn't kick ass though)..

[Obsidian433]

Holy crap, that's good. Great music.

[scharwenka1850]

Quel artiste! Rhythm, accents, always with such aliveness! Her music breathes like life.

[absurdplanet]

My Hero!

None Nicer . . .

[cooles1]

[elguanteloko]

I play classical guitar and for me, this is the piece I like the most...it just has some magic into it. couldn't ask more on the interpretation; just superb

[Ranocchio87]

[fuankarosu]

aishiteru kaori muraji *mwah* *hug* ^_^

[1singlet]

Thanks for your very nice videos, spGrunt!

[xxxSuperSaiyanxxx]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Muraji is such an awesome classical guitar player and what I've seen of her she is very versitile in a lot of the different styles. She is definatly one to watch for in the future. I always get mesmorizied watching her play.

[2Luke]

what can i say... simply beautiful... the video was done well too.

[Francisco1950]

Great playing and a very good video concept.
