At first, I wasn't sure If I really liked this interpretation...I am so used to Bream's varing tonal colours and little twists and turns and Segovia's over-romantic approach with this piece.....BUT...then I realised that Dinnigan's take on it is pure genius...Plaintive, a very English reflection on foreign lands!...Great stuff as always. Simon, I just hope you pick up the guitar again one day!
Nice playing, I didn't know Mr. Dinnigan before and now heard he had some injuries... I hope he's doing fine and playing this well. A very nice guitar as well, clear and responsive sound and colours which easily adapt to player's technique.
@leorozas I have had the great honour to play this very guitar now that it belongs to one of his ex- students. I have played on the best makes of guitars in the world but none were as good as Simons - Christopher Dean. I have met Christopher Dean (a real genius craftsman and gentleman) and played his new guitars but they didn't compare to Simons. Why? Because he had spent hours on it and had "played it in" to perfection. Thats why 10 year old guitars sound better than new ones.
. his command of the notes is so precise, it maximizes their effect as he plays. my only problem when i watch these videos is that whenever i'm trying to work on something else, and put it on for background music, i never get done what im trying to do becuase i love watching him play. i had not heard this song yet though, it's got really interesting changes in it.
Version vraiment remarquable!

I saw him in concert, some years ago, at St Paul's Church in Huddersfield. It would have been just before his wrist injury.
My claim to fame is that I lit his cigarette for him on the church doorstep in the interval!
A real down to earth bloke, with an exceptional talent.
A very rare thing.
