Chaconne Klaverenga--Allegro Solemne from La Catedral--Augustin Barrios

[alkssmith]

Just wonderful.

The only one I heared palying this with such speed and power and the uninterrupted melody line as well was Costas Cotsiolis 25 YEARS AGO, btw, general rendition resembles him pretty much.

Famous masters like John Williams didn't play in that tempo, wonder if it was close to

prescribed 120.

There is simple acupuncture self-treatment to promote circulation in hands as good preventing tool, but YouTube dosn't post links.

[ToXin88]

16 and that fast on the 3rd movement. my god...

by the way, your parents like bach, right? ;D

[wanparaph]

Super sweet. :) I wonder if my old tore up from sculpting gemrock hands can still play a guitar at all. Your post inspires me to try. Peace, August

[nicolavaleriik6hiq]

Now i can post a comment:: GREAT CHACONNE!!!!!!!!!!

[ThousandRoseBurial]

youre 16? im learning this at 17... im done already with the 3 movement just fixing some minor details (dynamics i guess)

[fearfultom]

holy shit -- you are right in there with Ana Vidovic. I have never seen you before. I am a fan now. Do you wear the band on your right arm so your skin wont stick to the wood?

[Klaverenga]

@fearfultom Yes -- and it also protects your finish on the guitar. :)

[kevin1q]

very good friend verry good bella...

[Honghaguitarist9]

Dear Chaconne!

I like your performances!!! ... Great playing!

[fatcorpusguy]

I had to learn this from the 1977 John Williams record without the score! Later I got it from Australia from Jason Waldron who transcribed the Vals#3 Maxixa and a few others for Williams from the old Barrios records. Then my old teacher Philip Hii showed me the Alirio Diaz fingerings and corrected my mistakes. Great playing!

Is that guitar one of the guitars at the guitar showcase in Ithaca this summer? That doublewood side looks very familiar, who is the maker?

Great playing

[Eliel8647]

Belíssima interpretação.Perfeita, produz um som maravilhoso. Wonderfull !

[rhapsodyinblue123]

Chaconne,

Great playing! Amazing right hand discipline, dynamic control, phrasing, etc. Also, it must be great having Mr. Azabagic to share his ideas on this piece, this is one of his signature pieces. Anyways, it was nice to meet you at GFA, I wish I could have seen you perform, but I'm sure I will get another chance in the future.

-Matthew

[richguy11]

Take Care

[kchan9999]

Hey Chaconne, this is beautiful! Is this the Thomas Humphrey guitar? Do you mind giving details about your guitars?

[Klaverenga]

Yes, that's the one. It's a 2004 Millenium with brazilian rosewood and a spruce top. I got it last April. I also have a 2004 Tom Blackshear that is in my older videos. That one is also spruce and has indonesian rosewood.

Chaconne

[AlexM1979]

@Klaverenga Do you actually like the tone of the MiIlenium?

[Klaverenga]

@AlexM1979 Yes, very much. That's why so many famous guitarists ( Denis Azabagic, Bill Kanengiser, the Assad Bros., Sharon Isbin, Eliot Fisk, etc) own them too.

[tomfarr56]

I saw you play today at the CUUF meeting house in Indianapolis. Wow, indeed! I had to pause your CD, Debut, to watch these! Thanks again for a special day!

[Muhlenburger]

Very impressive speed and technique is displayed with this piece. I read about you at the Dreamguitars website and I'm glad I've gotten to hear you play!

[tubeyouabcttt]

wow!

[jayhoc718]

very nice....you've got talent.  keep it up!

[unvmoi]

This piece looks so fun to play!!

and you play it great.

[MarkAntony]

Brilliant, well played!

[abella33]

Comparto en todo lo que dice el amigo Kevin, extraordinaria interpretación,felicitaciones

[Aarashguitar]

very nice, why dont you play the whole piece(la cathedral)?

[Klaverenga]

I do play and have performed all of the movements many times, but I haven't gotten around to recording the second one. The first movement, Preludio Saudade, is an older video that is already on my site.

Chaconne

[JesseGuitar07]

great stuff!!

[kevin1q]

¡¡valla una interpretacion digna de una ganadora.. sutil manera de tocar ¡¡si que te metiste en el pensamiento... lo que sentia barrios al componer la pieza,bravo¡¡¡

[x7isrich]

i'm not a classical guitarist, so i'm not familiar with the piece, but you have an amazing connection with your instrument. obvious dedication and love for what you do. it's as much fun to watch you play as listen.

[guitargiiiirl]

oh Chaconne!! Unbelievable how much you improved from last year...congratulations!! You are truely such a wonderful artist with the extra kick. Lovely greetings from germany, I hope to see you at a festival maybe even here...

Keep going, you're doing it right.

Katrin

[thenatureway]

awesome!

[yowech]

Is that a Thomas Humphrey guitar you playing?

[Klaverenga]

Yes, It's a 2004 Thomas Humphrey Millenium "Thunderbolt". I also play a 2004 Tom Blackshear. I love them both! Chaconne

[bobbobby1992]

wow ur so lucky,, isbin plays a humphrey as well. Have you decided what school you want to go to

[Klaverenga]

We're looking at several scholarship offers right now -- I have a year or two to decide.

[cearleywine]

the way I see it, the schools will be hoping for your endorsement.

[grich1949]

Such an amazing talent.

[guitalvaro]

Wow chaconne, Dennis is really doing wonderful things with you. His version of "La Catedral" is one of my favorites and you play it just like him. Congrats!! this is the best ive seen you. Love how you turn your head, kind of like goran krivokapic, jeje. Great job.

[JesseGuitar07]
