  • Suena muy hermoso, muy buena ejecución.

  • Very, very well done!

  • Was not expecting this!!! It exceeded my expectations. Very beautiful interpretation of this piece.

    P.S: This is a huge compliment, knowing that my only reference for this piece was by Christopher Parkening!!!!!!

  • 224,400 views now! 223,000 are me trying to learn this piece...

  • Some legattos I don't like, but that's a minor aspect. The rest is perfect, bravo.

  • What an art :)

  • Wonderful, HARMONY *****

  • How can this world contain so much goodness, as exemplified by this performance, and yet so much of the low life, all at the same time? Handel and those who play his music elevate us all, Praise God!

  • Listen only the music... beautiful, very beautiful. I see the past and the future listenig this music. (Sorry for my english)

  • seems that the guitar is speaking...these vibrato..

  • Excellent performance!

  • Somebody have the music sheet for this piece? Thanks a lot

  • @acrowleyr hey i found those in classtab dot org, good luck with this peice

  • @acrowleyr Yes, Handel does.You are so welcome.

  • Isn't this bit taken from "La Folia" the traditional spanish tune? Vivaldi, Corelli also wrote variations on it....man that is beautiful

  • Beautiful Inagaki!!! Sweet!!!

    any idea where i can get tabs for Handels Sarabnd.. would love to learn to play it!

    Cheers

  • Whoooh; I am jealous!! - what a play!!

  • You are very good. Lovely playing. If I could play this half as good I'd give up the type of music I play on electric guitar.

  • thats make me cry !! :)

  • barry lyndon

  • wow! it's very nice!

    there is online score?

    sorry for bad english :)

  • youtubes rating system is flawed. this video should be popular by now.

  • Wow!!!!

  • Sounds like one of the court musicians from the dark ages. LOVE this sound of the guitar.

  • MAGNIFIQUE INTERPRETATION!!

  • woaaahh amazingg!! i know it in the violin!! :)

  • Dude! That was the bomb!

  • Excelente!!!

  • Many pieces, notably Scarlatti's, lose something when played on the guitar, but they also gain something - the tonalities of the guitar and its inherent music chamber makes its own contribution through tonal properties that other instruments do not produce. That's not to say this is any better, but there's no reason to be judgmental about it - just recognize that this music has a place in the guitar repertory and enjoy that for what it offers.

  • Great!

  • В мире существует масса вещей и явлений, которые гораздо выше разделения людей на культуры и народы.

  • @dawg00000 as long as you appreciate your heritage and where you come from, what is wrong with finding beauty in other cultures??

  • @tranurse, Yes of course one can find beauty in different cultures around the world.  However, Communities of Color need to represent their own culture or it will be swallowed up, diluted (pat boone style), or even raped and lynched by the dominant culture.

  • @dawg00000  People should represent whatever they wish.

  • @lewars1912, No. He should be representing his culture and keep it real before it is swallowed up by boring privileged straight white christian male culture. The christians have all the power. People of culure have no power. 'bama is a tool of christian white folk..

  • @dawg00000 , yes people can express their opinion.. and by the same token represent who and What they are!

    WOW.. it is unbelievable how u can say such stupid things!

    Art has no boundaries!

    In my opinion he represents his culture gloriously through his talent!

    Your comments, if you rare of the same culture, belittle your culture!

    Stop sounding like a prejudice bigot! it makes u look very small and ignorant!

  • @Leowavekid, Yes, they are free to represent who they are, but by betraying their culure persons of Color let dominant boring privileged oppressive straight white christian male take over the culture and become "culture" by default.

  • @lewars1912, Yes but people should be free to criticize whomever they wish. Minoru should be playing a samisen, not a western instrument associated with imperialism, colonialism, and indeed cultural imperialism.

  • @dawg00000 I'm also very much against the things you mentioned but I don't believe in telling people what to do. Live and let live.

  • @lewars1912, People need to speak up. Yes, people can listen or ignore, but people still need to speak up. This piece sounds sounds like one of Muhammad's (SAAW) lengthy explosive farts in the face of Allah.

  • OMG this performance and who performed it are awesome!

  • A very talented guitarist, without any doubt. However, I personally feel Handel's Sarabande loses most of its strength when transcribed for guitar. It's a piece that sounds threathening and gloomy, yet beautiful at the same time. I always think about a tornado or other destructive force of nature when hearing it.

    The intimate and soft character of the guitar ruins that in my opinion. It sounds too nice, too friendly. As such, it loses much of its grandeur...

    Of course, that's just my opinion.

  • that's pretty obvious, u're comparing 1 classical guitar to an entire orchestra lol... tis the same as comparing a 4 cilinder 1000cc engine to a V8 with

    6000cc, o' course the V8 will sound better and powerful. Maybe a classical guitar quartet would sound closer with some other instruments and percussion added to it.

  • @leftoverture1976 I'm not even comparing the guitar with the orchestral version, but with a piano version. The guitar has a beautiful sound, but it is simply too limited, especially in the more sharp, threatening area, to fully bring the Sarabande to life.

  • Whoa! I didn't even know that a guitar *could* sound that awesome! Never have I heard anyone playing the guitar more beautiful in my entire life! How come that there is no Wikipedia article for this astonishing talent? It's been three years since this video has been uploaded, shouldn't he be world famous by now?

  • @Selinja This is a "solid" performance. The reason behind its small popularity is the enormous amount of "extraordinary" performances by legendary guitar players available in youtube such as John Williams and Julian Bream.

  • @Selinja Sorry for the late reply but you're an idiot that never seen a guitar before this one.( at least not until 2010)

  • @Selinja

    You mean him and the other thousands of players who play this well; it's more common than you would guess. I know many who play this well and have no work. People love crap, that's why.

    Looks like he's using Parkening's transcription.

  • I'm practicing this piece for a solo & ensemble competition. Do you guys have any tips for me?

  • 私はこれを「ラ・フオリア」ばかり集めた「MD」の中に入れて聞­いてゐます。

    「風に谷のナウシカ」の挿入曲、ナウシカがオウムの觸手に持上げ­られた時の音樂がそつくりで~す。

  • molto bello,spettacolare

  • i love hearing this performance. This is the best Haendel guitar on youtube ever.

  • his mordents are not baroque! why don't most guitarist study proper ornaments?

  • shit! do you teach at guillard or something? you must know your bach.

    so how you to play a mordent, in the proper way?

  • i do take baroque music seriously. check out Robert Donington- The Interpretation of Early Music, or Victor Rangel-Ribiero's A Practical Guide to the Performer. There are scholars out there who dedicate their lives to studying music. or go straight to the source, ang get the treatises of the baroque masters themselves- Geminiani, CPE Bach, Leopold Mozart, Thomas Mace, who describe dozens of ornamenting techniques and more. and it's juilliard, by the way.

  • @DjangoMeetsColtrane When transposing a piece from one instrument to another, there are going to be some things that are different. Sometimes octaves are switched. And sometimes whole voices are temporarily taken out because they can't all be played on the new instrument. Whether its keyboard to guitar or orchestra to piano, some things are going to change...so I think an improper mordent is of no consequence here.

  • A beautiful masterpiece beautifuuly performed

  • Awesome!!!

  • Brilliant, wish I could do that. However, lacks the OOMPH of the Barry Lyndon version.

  • well you could say the original compositions lacks the "OOMPH" of the barry lyndon version. Because that version was orchestrated to a large orchestra.

  • very beautiful......  thanks for sharing this.

  • Hello Minoru !

    Comme d'habitude ton jeu est magnifique ! quel talent... je me souviens des bon moments passés ensembles !

    Je t'embrasse affectueusement,

    Jean Marie RAYMOND

  • My preferred execution of this piece !

    Bravo

  • agreed!

  • beautiful :D

  • gorgeous piece,,wonderful guitar playing

  • Yayz for Folias de Espagne variations.

  • brilliant...........five stars

  • like a folia form

  • perfect !!!

  • this is truly wonderful...

  • anyway, what HWV numer is that from?

  • nevermind, i figured out that's hwv 437

  • this is the best interpretation on youtube by far...

  • omg 3:13 live tuning

    but... that mean that before he play wrong?

  • His bass strings sounds rather bright, they are probably new. My guess is that he has to change the strings just a few days before, and on a classical guitar the nylon strings need up to a week to stabilize (all strings are nylon, the bass ones just have a metal wire around the nylon core). His guitar was probably tuned at the beginning of the piece, and he was afraid of finishing out of tune. He's perfectionist anyway, I can't hear anything, and it was just a few seconds before the end.

  • the guitr sounds bright because of his nails and he tunes because the lowest string when detuned naturally sharpens.

  • Oooooh yeah! That´s a very good interpretation. If Handel could hear it in heaven he would be amazed.

  • This shirt is cool, so is this composition, so is Händel, so is the acoustic guitar performance.

    5* each.

  • One of the best.

  • Masterful.

    fafi

  • This is a great song. Can you send me the pdf?

  • Beautiful

  • so nice!!!!!

  • johnquantran, He has the tempo variation for artistic taste, he sped up and slowed down at his own will for he is the musician playing the song and this is the way he hears it himself. Many musicians do such with the songs they play. As for example, Johnny Cash redid "Hurt" by Nine inch Nails the way HE heard it, not exactly as they played it. ^_^ just thought I would answer your question.

  • IMPRESIONANTE!!

  • I wonder why he did not has he tempo steady.

    You can hear after the Introduction, he sped up in Variation 1.... if you notice that.

    I play the same version as he played.

  • can i get the sheet music of this from you??

    pleeasee

    i beg you.

    thanks.

  • hi.

    does anyone have the notes or tabs for this song?

    Thanks.

  • if only this guy's taste in shirts equalled his taste in music

  • classtab. search for handel

  • Beautiful indeed. It's a simple structure, but it doesn't get boring. Brilliant.

  • greetings from Hungary

  • um... hello?

  • Just lovely. I never get tired of listening to this piece. Elegant, beautiful performance. I would like to know who's transcription it is. I have one by Parkening, it is very similar but not the same. Does anyone know whose transcription it is?

  • anybody can give a link to notes?

  • 高い音楽性に絶賛

  • I love his shirt...his guitar playing is good too.

  • Such musical intense playing and great singing tone! Thank you, Very Inspiring. Now I'll go learn it :-)

  • Very nice,very good .

  • Very nice and controled performance. Excellent and with beautiful tone!

    With respect, greetings from Holland.

  • This piece is a prime example of how difficult a certain piece can be on one instrument and easy on another. Playing this on piano is pretty much a walk in the park for any average player. On guitar, it already takes years of practice to play the variations. This guy is good though. Very good.

  • His name is actually Inagaki Minoru.Take care.

  • His name is actually Inagaki Minoru.Take care.

  • Muy linda ejecucion, lo único que le falto es un poquito más de cadencia.

    MUY BUENA TECNICA, siempre lo escucho y no me canso

  • incredeble

    i can play that on the piano but that was better

  • amazing. sounds amazing!!!!!

  • really great...

  • la kgada ete chino awebonao

  • I love Händel's Sarabande. It has such an impressive mood. Good guitar play!

  • Superb, outmost elegant

  • Great, better than Piano

  • Hey, this is the Sarabande that Stanley Kubrick used in Barry Lyndon. Beautiful playing, but bad shirt. Stick with a tux, people.

  • Simply lovely. I love the pacing of the two variations. Maybe it is a bit too fast, but it is a live performance, and I find myself speeding up sometimes too because of nerves. I try not to, but. . . well you know.

  • Magnificient ! Absolutely amazing

  • Superb! elegant playing, bravo Minoru!

  • handel ve bach aynı dönem müzisyenleri olduğu için mi sarabande adlı iki farklı eser yapmışlar yoksa bu bir tarzın adı mı acaba?

  • hayır, sarabande aslen bir ispanyol dans türü. bu türün ritmleri üzerine bestelenen eserler bu ismi alıyorlar.

  • this is the best guitar rendition of this song i have seen. thanks!

  • Ohh! This almost sound like it is played on an old instrument. Reminds mr hrp music. It's really nice !

  • i think his skills are pretty not bad. just that i would prefer it slower. it's a slow dance.

  • It's true! it's a slow dance and stop insult -_-'

    IT MUST BE SLOWER AND WITH MORE COLORS AND BREATH

    In Italy we think colors and breath are 2 of the MOST IMPORTANT things

    and stop insult again we are in a civil world
