Only 483 views? That's a crime. This should be standard listening for all who enjoy this piece. Very nice.

[kobchaii5150]

Very warm and full of emotion.

Love your playing

[CharFlat]

Great, man! I just started working on this piece myself. And I may just as well make your rendition my reference on how to play it. Very beautiful!

[GuitarRomancer]

Hi CharFlat - Thanks so much! Check out Roland Dyens' version too, he's one of my references :-) Best regards! GR

[GuitarRomancer]

To RalfUndEmelie - Thank you so much, you've made my day!! Best wishes, GR

[JapJackson]

That was great - you have nice tone, and I like your phrasing as well. Bravo!!!

[GuitarRomancer]

Hi JapJackson, Thank you very much!! That's very kind, specific and articulate to say that about my performance and I really appreciate it! Best regards, GR

Hi Eric, Thank you once again for your kind compliments, I'm glad you enjoyed my Torija interpretation. Cheers, GR

[celebrationduo]

Beautiful version of this piece! This is what the guitar is all about.

[GuitarRomancer]

Hi celebrationduo, Thank you so very much, you just made my day! (big happy smile) I'm very glad you liked my version of Torija. Kind regards, GR

[GuitarRomancer]

Hi Ed, Yes it's the standard reverb that come with ProTools LE software. Do you think there's too much? I think I added about 25 or 30% with medium hall space - I guess I could go down to 10 or 15% but it'll probably sound too dry because of the carpeting in the room. Again thanks a lot for your kind words, I appreciate them very very much! Best regards, GR

[GuitarRomancer]

Hi Ed, Nice to hear from you again and many thanks for your very complimentary words! I used an Oktava MK-012 condenser mic attached to a ProTools Mbox connected to an Apple iMac computer. The video was done separately (at the same time of course) using a Canon DV video camera and then I synced them up in iMovie (an Apple video editing program). I know I needed much more light for the video, next time. Thanks again, GR

Hi Oleg, Thanks! Stay tuned for more... :-) Regards, GR

One of the best torija video. Your expression and phrasing is most enjoyable.

Thank you for sharing it with me.

[GuitarRomancer]

Hi San, Thank you for listening and watching and for your generous words. It was my pleasure to share this beautiful piece with you! Glad you liked it. Best regards, GR

[philipglaser]

Someone has surely asked you before - what is the guitar you play? It has such a rich tone.

Philip

[GuitarRomancer]

Hi Philip, Thank you, the guitar I play is made by the wonderful luthier Gernot Wagner from Frankfurt, Germany. I will send him your compliment, about his guitar, he'll be very happy! Thanks, GR

[philipglaser]

Another one word review - "beautiful." (I played this piece some time ago, but never got to the level you are on.)  You do study with a guitar teacher, I guess?

Philip

[oldq45]

Ahhh, the tender melody!!! Beautiful! I hope to see more of your playing.

[GuitarRomancer]

Hello John, Thank you, I appreciate that very much! I agree this is one of Torroba's most tender melodic creations, like the sweetest and finest sugar. I hope to put up some more music soon. Kind regards, GR

[jeffretrac]

Excellent playing as usual, GR. I hope you post many more of these ... before your next vacation.

Thanks so much Mike! Yes I'm going to try to do a video or two every few days this summer, I hope I don't burn out... Thanks again, GR
