Estoy de acuerdo con todos en que John Williams es un genio, el rey de la guitarra ahora, y veo con gran entusiasmo a tantos jóvenes que son virtuosos también. La Catedral me gusta mucho con Berta Rojas también pero agradezco grandemente que hayan publicado este video que es didáctico y hermoso. Gracias otra vez.

[joescarafone]

Es verdad, John Williams es El Rey Del Guitaro. Pero, hay othros que hay mas joven como David Azabazak and David Russell. Pienso que la version del David Russell es superb tambien. Pero, teimpo va a decir quein puedo sera El Rey despues del John Williams quien ha performed spectacularly for decades flawlessly.

he's a fucking wizard



[9964jjc]

Schelling, among others, attaches to human existence a fundamental, inescapable sadness. This sombre ground must, indeed, be the basis of all perception, of every mental process. Thought is strictly inseparable from a “profound, indestructible melancholy. I would extend this to all animal life, therefore.

[paikea1812]

sound quality isn't so well :S ^^nice playing^^

[fatapf]

La mejor version es la que mas le gusta a cada quien, si no te gusta alguna version, NO la escuches... es muy simple.

[Piluc1]

PERFECT !!!!!!

[paco2344]

La mejor versión de L a Catedral, a nivel internacional, es la del insigne guitarrista Nicholas Petrou; si escuchais el Allegro vereis cómo respira solemne este Allegro, y lo que precede.

Estoy persuadido que a Barrios le hubiese encantado esta gran interpretación.

K. P.

[snakepit96z]

@paco2344 con que cara dices que es la mejor version ? un Programa de talentos ? (que no lo vale ) un record guinnes ?... sobre gustos no hay nada escrito.. ni por vivaldi, bach, barrios, mozart,etc .. no hay mejor version que la que nace desde los sentimientos .. tu version es muy limpia, pero no la siente ...

[rafaelfrancisp]

esse cara é exemplo pra todos...........que técnica maravilhosa e que interpretação. perfeito.

[pkassoc1]

you have got to listen to this one.......spectacular!!!

[necropole362]

Beautiful

[juker92]

*_* that was just awesome

grande agustin barrios! orgullo latinoamericano!

[Miki42]

Simply beautiful.

[gerdar20]

Es buena la interpretación, que sea la mejor, no sé, pero si sé que he encontrado una muy buena del maestro César Amaro con motivo de 100 años del estreno.

[focl2003]

@gerdar20 Hay una mucho mejor interpretación de Wiiliams en el cd "From the jungles of Paraguay".

[gerdar20]

@focl2003 Si, tengo ese trabajo, es muy buena interpretación, pero realmente me ha gustado mucho la de César Amaro. También Alvaro Pierri interpreta muy bien a Barrios

[cheradinine8]

To borrow a phrase from the late Steve Jobs, Anyone who says Williams plays without emotion is BRAIN DEAD...

[focl2003]

@cheradinine8 I've always thought the same, what he actually does is showing respect for the guitar, e.j Bream starts playing Capricho Arabe with very strong vibratos in one string, people love that but it is impossible to do it in the chords so he breaks the piece, this is what JW almost never does he prefectly knows the limits of the guitar, this is a personal opinion but I think it's true.

[cheradinine8]

What a ;lovely guitar Williams is playing... It sounds like a Ramirez, but is it?

[ScouseFolky]

anyone who says Williams plays without emotion or feeling is a cocksmoker! Pure Genius!!!

[focl2003]

@ScouseFolky I've always thought the same, what he actually does is showing respect for the guitar, e.j Bream starts playing Capricho Arabe with very strong vibratos in one string, people love that but it is impossible to do it in the chords that are clearly refering to the initial vibratos so he breaks the piece, this is what JW almost never does he perfectly knows the limits of the guitar, this is a personal opinion but I think it's true.

[guerillajazz]

I think this bickering about who plays it faster, with more emotion, harder fingerings etc etc is absolutely ridiculous. The point is, Barrios COMPOSED this, everyone else, even the great players are coming in second place. Quit debating over things that are not important. Enjoy the music.

[MattAlexWatson]

@guerillajazz

I'm sure they already enjoy the music. And that they enjoy discussing who they think is the most talented player. That may be the point for you, but not for them. Don't try to impose your own opinion on others as if they are fact.

[javrm]

this song makes me kill

[Drizzt078]

i watch this video at least one time daily to fix my day:)

[Cactustone]

Anybody know where one can find an edition with these fingerings? I have the Stover, and it's way different.

[superkakkoi808]

he'd prally play it a lot faster now. lol

[SDRBWOW2011]

CLARO.....TAMBIÈN HACE PARA MI LA MEJOR VERSIÒN DE INVOCACIÒN Y DANZA Y KOYUMBABA QUE HE ESCUCHADO...........LA VERDAD ES INCOMPARABLE.

[EdErHuZyMn]

Eb woooow!

[ir0n2541]

i cried

[SDRBWOW2011]

UN VERDADERO GENIO JHON!

[kemalkis]

This guy has the fingers of the God. What a spirit.

[usuckamydick]

no way as good as the way Barrios plays it in his recording! He drops a lot of things - full chord the fast run in mvt 2 etc and Barrios plays the 3rd faster

[kimbosterdelgado]

SU GUITARRA ESTÁ OCHO HERTZIOS POR DEBAJO DE LA AFINACIÓN NORMAL, Y EL SONIDO QUE EMANA DE ELLA ES ÚNICO E IRREPETIBLE... REALMENTE NO HE ESCUCHADO UN TIMBRE MÁS PERFECTO QUE EL DE ESA GUITARRA.

=)

[J0a0Francisc0]

He is the best, fuck the rest.

[Semibrucelee]

i love the speed of his interpretation, ive only heard fast ones.

[mrboppman1]

WILLIAMS HAS A SPECIALFEELING IN HIS BARRIOS INTERPRETATIONS.........MARVEL­OUS !!!

[MrFredymak]

Estoy de acuerdo, el que juzga un interprete por sus jestos teatrales no sabe nada de mùsica..

[nando583]

sonido impecable, imagen pastelizada, pero bué....me encanta!!!!

[nigromancia]

no puedo dejar de mirar tan magistral interpretacion.... dios, como suena esa guitarra!!!!

[HXCDropDead]

For the best experience at 0:00 pause, then open a new tab on youtube and look up rainy mood, click on the first available and enjoy! :)

[chopinzone]

17 people are deaf ‼ u_u

[paskaldjay]

I agree about that 'Finger Pain' :D

[paygi110709]

Learn this song is not so hard...the hardest part is the FINGER PAIN specially for a begginer

[mrboppman1]

@paygi110709 DO YOU CONSIDER THIS A PIECE SUITABLE FOR A BEGINNER? THERE SO MANY NUANCES AND MID RYTHM RUBATO, I WOULD HARDLY CALL THIS EASY ,ESPECIALLY TO PLAY IT CORRECTLY ! TRY THE SOR STUDIES. I DOUBT YOU CAN EVEN CALL THEM EASY!

[jieprelampago]

@mrboppman1 I consider myself an intermediate gutarist and it took me 4 days to get most of the piece down and about a week and a half to get it memorized. It then took me a month to finalize the way I was going to recite it in concert. I got straight tens throughout the board at the recital out of eight judges. Its not a difficult song to learn, at least for some, the difficult part is conveying the flowing emotion throughout the three movements. Once you understand the emotion ure good to go.

[mrboppman1]

@jieprelampago that is more or less the point I was getting at, when I alluded to the rubato and nuances

[JCSolar]

Estoy completamente de acuerdo con eyesbleeding. Williams es uno de los grandes. Emocion le sobra. Y limpieza.... que limpieza de sonido... es increible.

[guitarmachine13]

@warlockig : whom do you prefer?

[warlockig]

not my favorite guitarist. I barely hear much phrasing or artistry in use of tone colors or emotion. It seems almost mechanical and robotic throughout most of it. I guess people like dry emotionless interpretations.

[Wartfacedfreak]

@warlockig Big words from someone who's probably not even worthy to set up Mr. Williams' footstool.

[bluesgurugod]

That's just so phenomenal!! The guitar becomes the most beautiful instrument in the world when in the hands of a master musician who is playing an epic piece by one of the greatest composers in history!!

[rockerMan0987]

No sabia que Woody Allen tocaba asi la guitarra!!

[jmr1410]

@rockerMan0987 jajajaja

[BryanRason]

perfect playing all the way through.... my god .... wow

[BryanRason]

perfect playing all the way through.... my god

[papelonies]

Nunca falta un maleta que critica de lo que no sabe bien... esta es una de las mejores interpretaciones que existe de este tema.

[JamballsDeluxe]

the fact that this video has dislikes is a travesty

[adrdosaba]

excellent

[wisecoxis2]

q manera de criticar...lo único malo de williams es que es un tremendo trolaso!!jajajaja

[RICAPERRO1]

mis respetos xD



[MrArdelco1970]

es un mounstruo en la guitarra .

qué guitarra toca? aquí es smallman?

[chicomusico]

no por nada leo browuer lo escoje para estrenar sus conciertos y para que leo browuer escoja a alguien tiene que ser el mejor

[guillelorentzen]

Great...

[Thuringen]

personally, I think lot of people play the third movement way to fast. I like how Williams takes his time a little, not lagging, but not rushing either. he takes the time to get everything right and smooth.

[jllobet]

@Thuringen I agree, most players play it too fast trying to show their technique, Williams doesn't destroy one the guitar masterpieces just to amaze the audience, he wants to touch them musically

[tasssd]

El señor Willians es perfecto tocando lo mires por donde lo mires.

[diparodi]

Bien dicho, compadre asi es esta en el sonido y no en la cara...

[eryxbulalas]

this is clearly another different version besides Diaz and Benitez's. And I think this is much complicated.

[stfuplznoname]

THIS GUITAR IS THE BEST CLASSICAL GUITAR IN HISTORY , FLETA !!

[efrabeatles]

buenos ligados! :D

grandree Williams!!!



[MLMIII]

arg .. haha i wanted to see how he was going to finger the harmonics at the end of the preludio but of course as irony would have it thats when the camera man decides to move...

[ditman333]

@MLMIII They are so slow, whats so hard about figuring it out yourself? lol. Also they do show it.

[ditman333]

@MLMIII oooh u mean the first movement? Thought u meant the second movement. =p

[Scaar81]

@MLMIII it's always the same story jajaja It happens to me when I'm trying to look to a strange part in some electric guitar solo

[ownzjo0]

this dude is clearly a reptilian channeling dark powers

[MikeyIV]

I don't get it. Ana Vidovic's version is slightly different at points from this, which is slightly different from the sheet music i have... Are there different versions of this piece? Which one is the original?

[ditman333]

@MikeyIV Okay, i have the answer to your question and its 100% true facts, for i have studied this song for a long time. There are 2 different ways you can play this song. Barrios made 2 versions of the song basically, but its only changed very slightly. The average joe who doesn't play music will not even notice. There is John Williams version, and there's Berta Rojas version. Ana Vidovic changes it herself, i dont know why, maybe she thinks it sounds better. This is all accurate, trust me

[harualsin]

@ditman333 Not only two, Barrios changed it too during his performance. =)

[ditman333]

@harualsin im sure he did

[ditman333]

@MikeyIV You can decide to play it whatever way you want to, its whatever you think appeals more to the audience or to your ears. Hope i helped =)

[xXxGoyexXx]

@MikeyIV you can give the interpretation you want to your music, they interpretate this piece different. There would be no grace to be guitarrist if everything is played the same xD

[Jurnio123]

Amazing, amazing, amazing!

What more can I say?

John Willians, a great musician; Barrios, a great guitar composer.

[FRJE1]

De lo mejor, Jhon Williams es la perfección del sonido, criticarlo porque no cierra los ojos y aprieta un poco las mandibulas es ridículo, ahi muchas maneras de sentir la música que no incluyen un espectaculo dramático.

[maximerjb]

The best version is the ana vidovic's version

[exeguerrero]

muy buena interpretacion, q obra por dios!!

[pedskon]

i am sorry for the previous rude comment once again, i have removed it. I am sharing this account with my brother, and he is really hatefull against videos that doesn't have supreme quality. Which i think foolish myself, and therefore he shouldn't even be wasting his time on Youtube at all if he thinks all videos that aren't quite perfect are useless.

[trenlechero]

que grande el paraguayo barrios, se refiere a la catedral de asuncion!!!

[acasino]

Qué suerte que existe DavidRodolfoTP para decirnos cual es la mejor versión que existe y por qué. Por favor!!!!!!!  Lo que hay que leer en internet.......ay, dios mío!!!! ja, ja....!

[oterrivelivan]

Great! But I prefer Raphael Rabellos' version. watch?v=5q5LbdJOXRs

[papelonies]

Impecable!!

[MrCeibal]

QUE MAESTROS!!!!!!

La Catedral de San Jose (Uruguay)

[andresloth]

hail  Barrios

[juegopoquito]

se duerme.....

[imaguachi]

la fleta tiene un bello sonido, no se compara con la smallman.

[diegoarboli]

La mejor versión de esta obra.

[split5991]

anybody place ace combat like i think 3 or so... this song is the intro

[clx2517]

genial, pero me gusta mas la version de denis azabagic

[snakeinthegrass20]

Nowhere near as good as this guy:-

[diegos93]

me temo que estoy en desacuerdo contigo, la mejor version es la de Berta Rojas

[pejoulises]

@diegos93 la diferencia es que aquella es de estudio de grabacion y esta es una grabacion en vivo, a la primera john hace maravillas y te lo digo porque con por presumir el me ha dado algunas clases y es un mago de la proyeccion el te hace suspirar con solo algunas notas en cambio berta pue si suena muy bonito y todo

[antievil777]

@pejoulises Si....cuanto mas viejo se pone williams toca mejor!!

[darkania9]

@pejoulises te ha dado clases, wow xD... yo tambien presumo a mi maestro hehe... genial grande john

[pejoulises]

@diegos93 pero es un poco mas tecnisista dejando de lado la proyecion sentimental tan profunda que tiene cada tono ademas esos eran tiempo de juventu de john hay no era tan increiblemente bueno como lo es ahora

[MrCeibal]

@diegos93

INCREIBLE...como se olvidan de Cayo Sila Godoy!!

[MrCeibal]

INCREIBLE !!! COMO SE OLVIDAN DE

CAYO SILA GODOY!!

[trimetaler]

Wow Williams made one mistake. The only one in his career :p

[nosegaurd22]

agustin barrios is related to me

[ryan9312]

@nosegaurd22 thats awesome! how so?

[razonado]

benalkhayyam Perdona que le diga que usted no tiene ni idea. Primero se equivoca porque Williams no es solo uno de los grande maestros, sino el más grande de todos, pero no se preocupe, los profanos no entienden en estos terminos el porqué. Señor, debe saber que desde de un punto de vista físico, la pulsación perpendicular al plano de las cuerdas es la que más garantias da para la plena vibración de la cuerda. No se trata de sacar el sonido "mas bonito" que se pueda, no van por ahí los tiros..

[focl2003]

Así es, la técnica de Williams es la más impresionante que se haya visto en un guitarrista clásico.

[HitokiriDiaz]

John Williams, que maestro.

[razonado]

Para alguien que decia que la forma en que williams utiliza la mano derecha está obsoleta, solo decirle, que está equivocado. Cierto es que en la actualidad en la mayoría de consevatorios no se trabaja esa forma, presisamente por los problemas que acarrea. Sin embargo la forma que tiene williams de utilizar la mano derecha es la más correcta y la más razonada y dicho sea, la más perfecta desde un punto de vista físico. Nunca ha exixtido un guitarrista como John Williams. La perfección

[Sekkando]

Que digitación más genial

[Sekkando]

Que digitación más genial

[Sekkando]

Genial, Que digitación más increible

[Sekkando]

Genial, que digitación ...

[eyesbleeding]

Estoy harto de los que critican a John Williams por una supuesta falta de "emoción". Creo que es un brillante intérprete y que cada una de sus interpretaciones está llena de "emoción"; y lo que es más, a diferencia de tantos otros guitarristas, él deja a su guitarra ser verdaderamente la protagonista, sin caer en ningún tipo de gestualidad, o sensacionalismo barato, de ahí que otros juzguen erróneamente una supuesta falta de emoción. La emoción está en el sonido, ¡señores!, no en la cara.

[adak154B2]

@eyesbleeding

estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo hombre.. esa pulcritud en la intermpretación es impresionante.. 

[kellycristal]

@eyesbleeding así se habla....

[Armyswat1]

@eyesbleeding Resúmelo mejor. John Williams, el mejor guitarrista del mundo.

[chicomusico]

@eyesbleeding opino lo mismo que tu,no hace falta hacer mil gestos para expresar emociones y jhon wiliams es un gran transmitor de emociones con su instrumento es simplemente perfecto

[gaelhyral]

@eyesbleeding

no soy muy conocedor

pero si le imprime emocion y sentimiento

[vaibach]

@eyesbleeding Yo miraría al vídeo de Ana Vidovic. Es realmente delicioso como se expresa la chica esa!!

Te lo recomiendo..y después decime si no es más expresiva que Williams?! Y me refiero al sonido.

Ojo, me encanta Williams, pero no dejo de sorprenderme gratamente con los nuevos músicos.

Saludos!!

[cocolocodelatierra]

@eyesbleeding El arte ... la interpretacion va mas alla de los dedos al hacer contacto con la guitarra.. viene de parte de muchas cosas.. imaginalo como una obra de teatro.. john williams toca muy bien pero no se siente lo que toca.. no se para mi es asi.. no te ofendas !! ni q fuese contra ti.. yo creo q te gusta ;) jaja nomentira xd

[skippykiller]

@eyesbleeding

asi es, es un interprete magistral y para mi humilde opinion esta pieza esta muy bien lograda, podra haber a quien le guste o no, pero tecnicamente creo q no hay nada para discutir,aunque en algunas piezas si lo he sentido frio (y no por gesticular o no) pero interpretando a barrios es indiscutible, aclaro que es solo mi opnion. saludos!

[erickguitarclasic]

@eyesbleeding es que mira en la partitura original de agustin barris el principio es pianisimo sutil imperseptible pero si toca chido toca muy bien asturias

[funebrerodechacarita]

bravo maestro excelente interpretacion, gracias maestro mangore.

[aidemakedonia]

Generally I don't really like William's interpretation (pure question of taste) but this one...wow no words 5 stars

[ito123456789]

11 Justin Bieber fans watched this

[quenuca]

What John Williams said of Agustin Barrios (the composer of this piece): "As a guitarist/composer, Barrios is the best of the lot, regardless of era. His music is better formed, it's more poetic, it's more everything! And it's more of all those things in a timeless way."

[Photographyjobs]

its a shame that the quality of the video is not better, the clarity and crispness of williams technique is just perfect and to watch it close up is truly breathtaking, clean , very clean, thanks for this post

[Papazuky8]

esta rola es un himpno y el que la interpreta deve ser un dios

[tavokhenany]

si es muy bueno pero le falta corazon a la interpretacion

[dlevita]

once again jw you are awe inspiring thanks you for the dedication inspiration and divinity here on earth..... barrios rules!!!!!!

[hemc88]

Una PERFECTA ejecución de la obra cumbre del gran Mangoré. Aunque creo fielmente que en ocasiones la perfecta tecnica hace a un lado el sentimiento y la interpretación no transmite las emociones, aun asi, Williams elevó la figura del ilustre paraguayo dignamente. Excelente maestro.

[masterfabian1]

MAJESTUOSA INTERPRETACION SOLO JONH WILLIAMS

[Muso8787]

@pedskon Of course the video is poor quality, its an old video.

Does that mean we should destroy all old records, cassettes, books and artefacts because the message isn't conveyed with 100% clarity?

[pedskon]

@Muso8787 sorry, must have been my brother using the account, he can´t appreciate any music or video unless it´s the best and most expensive quallity...

[ditman333]

@Muso8787 I actually enjoy the older videos more, makes you appreciate the music more. The fact that it will never be done again, especially when Williams was at his best. Dont underestimate the importance of these videos.

[Muso8787]

@ditman333 Thats the exact point that I was making. I was being sarcastic to a comment that was complaining about the sound quality.

Sorry I thought that was obvious...

[ditman333]

@Muso8787 yeah i know, i just thought that my comment fit well with yours =)

[vivegedda]

@ditman333 I agree totally. Same thing with great singers.

[Christiano77L]

Neat but I prefer Shin Ichi Fukuda perhaps is something very subjective I always believed Williams prioritize technique over the heart and the result is not my favorite

[pacoheam]

el maestro JOHN WILLIAMS...don't search errors,you are losing your time..=)

[cobevotu11089]

perfect :D...

[ytsfrez]

the third movement is so beautifully done. A true master

[subjulio]

P-E-R-F-E-C-T!!

[OktoberStorm]

Around one minute out it's like he's putting the beat on the second eight in every bar. It's really interesting, but right now I'm put off. I'll try it later today.

[fjcapiscol]

Grande.

[prietoflavio]

No olvidar que Azabagic y Vidovic también son soberbios ...

[ronnierei]

boring and too slow, but clean

[zegmeiets]

Wel done indeed. All notes sound good and on time. Music tough should be more than 'precision', it must grab your feelings, it should be emotion. I prefer Fernando Cordas.

[Aurelius27x]

I don't think there is a more precise player than Sir John Williams. I might like this version better than Ana Vidovic's.

[kdsantiago]

Incrível!

[detenidogp]

creo que la version de denis azabagic es superior saludos

[steveb391]

This is probably the most precise version of La Catedral I've heard. True and masterful Artistry

[666dieguitol666]

William make an Agustin Barrios cover

[staynvale]

john william.... the best...

[zegmeiets]

@staynvale, maybe you should first listen to the magnificent and extremely sensual inerpretation of Fernando Cordas, somewhere on Youtube.

[staynvale]

@zegmeiets  Ok, I will listen the interpretation of fernando costas... thanks! =)

[GuitarOfTruth]

Unless my ears are tricking me this is about quarter tone to low, prob caused by low speed of original video recording perhaps? So it would have MARGINALLY quicker in real life.

[Mylittlenebula]

John Williams is the best every! I LOVE him!!! This is AMAZING!!!!!!!! :) Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!!!!! xoxoxo

[liosama]

Damn you got this with better sound??

[mhuipe]

es la mejor version la expresa mui bien si le dedicas atension es mui triste

casi tanto�
