Grazie di tutto Maestro!!!!!

[Boldstrummer]

[ipoodaily]

[oknarbtal]

[Karolasdf]

que raro uma imagem dessa! Villa Lobos orgulho do Brasil! :D

[smiley94whoohoo]

I dunno if it's the film being old, but I love the sound.

[BloodyCatastrophee]

I love villalobos, he was such a great composer!!! speaks to ma soul!!!

[bernardocarmopiano]

Could I post as a response to your wonderful treasure the transcription for piano played by the legendary brazilian-french pianist Anna Stella Schic, who was the greatest interpreter of VL works for piano. He gave her very important advices and teached her the best way to play ALL his works and she was the first pianist who recorded the entire work of him. Also she recorded all works by Gershwin and Mendelssohn either. She studied with Marguerite Long, Lazare-Levy and Villa-Lobos. Thanks!

[Boldstrummer]

Thank you SO much for this. I'm in awe.

[MultiMirmidon]

maestro

[craigalake]

@dinkipooxa

Probably, becasue he didn't like Barrios much either.

[semmaisadeus]

meu ídolo!

[sachojaz]

villa lobos, carioca, começou suas idéias musicais ainda bem jovem quando viu o choro se perpetuar e se modernizar. eterno!

[stlivermore]

O que uma maravilha!

Muito obrigado.

[ahuachapan2]

Fake Villalobos is dead...

R.I.P Villalobos.

[Mkamalid]

do you know WHEN he died?

[hellhammer161]

@Mkamalid he died in 1959

[sarabernal]

I love this historic video, to see Villa Lobos playing a brazilian choro is so amazing, avant gard composer

[RandomMocker]

Villa-Lobos is such a kool guy lol. I want a big Cigar like that and I don't even smoke haha.

[fernandorush]

q video lindo!!!!!!!!!!

[guitarclasic4693]

man de donde sacaste ese video tan antiguo

es grandioso

gracias por el regalo

[assist1992]

there were some estudios (studies)that Lobos wrote that Segovia gould not play....is this real?

[zemaneldaquinta]

Segovia only played 2 of all the 12 studies Villa-Lobos wrote for him. Even though, he wrote the preface for the Max-Eschid Edition, praising the quality and value of the studies. The 12 studies are considered the pioneer work for the modern guitar and are widely played in concerts and recorded by several top guitarists. Segovia, as a guitarist, was more inclined to neoclassical repertoire, as he did not play the 4 pieces by Franck Martin also dedicated to him.

[farfazzi]

he could if he wanted to

btw i heard (from a bream interview)

that villa lobos didn't like segovia interpretation of his studies

[BarNuun]

Whoever is playing this, if not the composer himself, makes 29 seconds of the most perfect guitar music imaginable.

[justinoalberic00]

claro q esse cara eh o heitor villa-lobos e ele era mto mais do q um violista virtuose era um compositor genial alem de ter uma tequinica impecavel em varios instrumentos inclusive no violao .... qm ja ouviu os estudos pra violão sabe disso!

[Bucetinho]

good speed, john prettuci may cry.

[BJJ415N]

Villa-Lobos died in 1959 at 72 years old. The pictures were taken in the 30s or 40s. And in fact is Villa himself. But we cannot see who is playing although people down there already said that the guy is probably Yepes.

[Alhambra22]

why are you behaving like pre-modonnas?

just enjoy art...

[Flowmastey]

This was incredibly dissapointing, I've heard rumours of recordings of villa lobos playing his own preludes and studies and I got all excited but found this!

I feel cheated.

[Toffusaurelius]

there are other videos with audio of him playing his own works in more than one instrument. search for villa-lobos interpreta villa-lobos. the choro is the best version of the piece i have ever heard, and i heard them all. it's not mystifying talk, i really think so.

[Elnea]

That is Villa-Lobos... Do a Google search of Villa-Lobos and check out his museum. There are many photos of him there to compare.

[Codiceinternettario]

Images are of villa lobos, but anyone can see he's not actually playin the prelude in the video... the guitarist playin is yepes and u see him in the last few seconds where he's actually playin the prelude.

[Camenietzki]

You completely rigth, the sound is an old recorded track from the second prelude made by Narciso Yepes, Villa Lobos was a genius of course but never such virtuose clear and speedy scale.

[Toffusaurelius]

quite wrong. search for villa-lobos interpreta villa-lobos.

[souben4490]

Who is the guitar player?Narciso yepes,Julian Bream or Villa Lobos?Please tell me it is driving me crazy!

[jstumple]

The person playing the music is Narcisso Yepes. It's from an old D.G. record os villa Lobos Etudes releasedin the late seventies. The images are all of Villa Lobos himself playing guitar. Nice editing job by the way.

[Flowmastey]

Its a prelude not an etude

[immortaf]

Someone please tell me: Isn't it Andres Segiova when he was younger (I mean middle age)?

[alsozoidberg]

Nope, there is a video of segovia in his younger days here somewhere and he's totally different.

[thefilmbot]

i absolutely love villa lobos.

[rondine]

non è villa lobos che suona, it' not villa lobos the player in this video, but yepes!

[cancatis]

NÃO É O VILLA, PESSOAL!

É só montagem, gravação do Yepes...

[Segovia69]

Viva ao compositor Brasileiro e grande interprete Heitor Villa Lobos

[Hajiyb]

Grande Villa Lobos

[Hajiyb]

oh hehe that´s the power of the guitar in my country

[jazedje]

video incrível!..como conseguiu? existem mais destes?

[what567]

Er, Villa-Lobos was never a classical guitar player.

[what567]

Actually yes he was :((

[dougfreshinite]

yes, he was....and he played the cello, and the piano with much virtuosity!

Listen to his Etudes for Guitar...He could play them all...and that's some of the most difficult music in the Repertory.

[what567]

I corrected myself.

His etudes aren't easy, but they are nowhere near being the most difficult pieces in guitar rep.

[kbkesq]

Etude #2 is up there. There are very few versions out there and you can bet they required several takes in the studio to get right.

[mmarinmx]

I am agree that there is few versions, and I think this is not a very dificult song, it flows very well at the time you performance it, remember that Villa-Lobos used to compose on the guitar not in the paper! I used to play it even I am amateur, Best Regards.

[dionisiopaganini]

They're up there. And besides, they're some of the greatest etudes regardless of difficulty, there's just so much music there. You can do a lot with them.

[dionisiopaganini]

Question... He had his nails grown out for the guitar? How was he able to play piano with proper hand position? This is interesting.

[what567]

I have long nails and I can still play piano properly.

[what567]

I have long nails and I can still play piano properly.

[sab3156]

But how long are your nails? And surely you cannot play with a curved-finger style. You must use similar hand positions to Horowitz?

[what567]

My nails generally do not go more than a millimeter over my fingertips, and yes, I do use a curved finger style.

[sab3156]

Interesting. I play piano as well, but I find it difficult with nails. I have a strange right-hand position. I'd like to know more about what you've done with it. PM if you can.

[Andre1214]

Sorry but it's not Villa-Lobos who's playing his Prelude No.2. There's no real link betwen the sounds we listen and the fingering that we see in the film. Villa-Lobos was certainely a guitar virtuoso but the performance presented here is that of the Spanish guitarist Narciso Yepes.

[aruhga]

Dizem que ele tocava violão escondido do velho dele... kkk

[EmmSeeMusic]

love this piece. Pepe Romero has a great version of it

[Catopes]

it's Yepes Playin..and it's yepes in the last seconds of the video

[shanghaichic]

Amazing if that is really Villa Lobos playing. I thought this piece was a lot older and that there was no way it could be captured on video. Bravo!

[lahabana2006]

meu deus!

[SmartMusician]

He is my new favorite composer.

[rondine]

non suona villa lobos...le immagini sono le sue ma sono sfasate rispetto i suoni..narciso yepes è l'interprete.

[ricobico]

Heightor (villa lobos) wrote some great stuff. He was good friends with Segovia and Villa Lobos wrote special pieice sust for him. As good as Segovia was, there were some estudios (studies)that Lobos wrote that Segovia gould not play. he also wrote some insane piano stuff.

[gabriellacc]

naum sabia que ele tocava violão tb...

[rayg320]

He is so amazing. I thought he was only a pianist, though? Ehh...what do i know...

[JohnSmithJones]

Ah one of my favorite composers.

[johnhildreth]

pretty cool. is that really him playing on the recording?

[johnhildreth]

pretty cool. is that really him playing on the recording?

[dougfreshinite]

great composer...and quite an able guitarist! Is this part of a longer film about him?
