Prelude No.5 / Op.23 (Arr- G.Vale)~ S.Rachmaninov

[astrofizzi12]

I cannot believe it..

[missverrnxo]

damn gurrl you blew my mind!!

[whneo97]

Anyone knows where to find the guitar sheet music for this piece?

[lilmemnonlil]

@whneo97 Dont waste your time, you wont be able to play it !! :P

[TICETOCAR]

the performance is even more impressive if you know that she came straight from her audition of a S. Leone remake movie they were casting people for at the time...

[PaulRx4]

Wonderful am NOW a fan if you liked this also see this on same music for a laugh "Rachmaninov Ska & British danceband all in one? " enjoy

[utki17]

its like Iron Maiden on Piano

[RhaegarTargaryen1884]

incredible

[Michajeru]

Fantastic guitar skills - and very sexy also.

[Oneofthebadkids11]

Holy shit D:

[Sturrfry]

Ugh the tuning is horrible.

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

Folkmaninov!

I love it :D

[TheSoken123]

maybe she should try rach's moment musical 4 or even prokofiev's sonata 7

[bagulhobrasil]

I really believed this piece could NEVER be played in a guitar!

[mcrettable]

this is unreal :O

[elchaski]

1:52 and 4:05 ! 

[decemberbenjamin]

im dumbfounded ..thank you for uploading this video

thank you thank you

[S0METHING1986]

WTF ... insanity ...beautiful

[avefer]

Fantastic!!!!

[anttisairanen]

She, Galina Vale ha sno doubt certain talent, but tuning up anf choosing for guitar playable music wouldn't harm. The bottom line for a performing musician is to serve the music. This reading is a joke the longer it gets.

[handycappo]

the funny look at 1 53

[JeffNicho303]

which guitar is that?

[gurucow]

she reminds me of yamashita

[chudnovsky]

bravo!! :)... awesome lady

[hamserlhvn]

there'll be no discussion because her skill is great, but i think that the prelude is somehow does not really fit with guitar, i think using piano is the best way to play this piece

[lorenzogalesso]

@hamserlhvn

You're right: guitarists should avoid playing transcriptions. There are lots of scores for guitar that wanted to be played.

[XGLHELL]

does anybody have a tab for this??

[jaggedsphere]

@XGLHELL lol probably not...check classtabs

[delameu]

weirdo

[zhuqiushi168]

I Love that hot smile at 1:52

[machouch69]

c'est un a-vit tout à fait professionnel

[machouch69]

c'est pas juste ce que tu dis, car elle joue bien quand même

[machouch69]

certe, mais je pense qu'un petit doigt dans le cul, ( un premier doigt ) favoriserait sa détente...

[machouch69]

c'est affligent de mauvais gout et je ne prends pas en compte la tenue vestimentaire...ca n'est pas concevable pour moi de ne rien comprendre à ce point la musique .c'est completement innoui !! quand est ce que tu respires, est ce que tu sais ce que veut dire une phrase musicale ? etc etc en tous cas, je peux t'apprendre tout ca .car meme un charpentier pourrait t'aider a faire mieux

[TanteErnaDE]

| godmode = true |

[McSTEELhc]

This is truly amazing. You are quite talented. (:

[olgakrylova777]

Dear Galina, bravissimo!!!!! I think you play better than Rachmaninov!!! Beautiful performance!!! God bless you!!! Olga & Vladimir Krylov

[ditman333]

Hate it, she ruins the guitar

[poupoule22]

lolll her face at 2:39

[gitarre1987]

@poupoule22 agree...lol

[stephenyatesacoustic]

Whatever else can be said about this woman you have to concede that she shows an originality of style and presentation and is an individual on the instrument. On the classical guitar these days that is a rarity.

[LorenzoBaudelaire]

Questo mi fa amare e capire di più perchè ho scelto la chitarra classica, Rach si sarebbe innamorato subito di lei

[crcm1993]

Breathtaking. I didn't expect to find anything when I searched this piece for guitar, as it does indeed sound impossible. But this is absolutely amazing. Though I know I'll probably never be able to learn it right, I'd love to find the transcription.

[guitarwizard6]

Thank you for not playing playing any Bach, Ms. Vale.

[niketic]

i aspire to do that one day :')

[classicalmannick101]

please tell me someone has a transcription of this...????? i want to play this!!!!!

[thunderandme123]

OH GROSSSSSSSSSS WHAT IS THAT?!

[amynos]

LOL I was listening to this on Piano and just for the heck of it, I youtubed "Prelude Op. 23 No. 5 Guitar" thinking I wouldnt find anything as it's impossible. BUT this vid came out and as I'm typing this I still dont believe my ears!!!!!!

[utki17]

God bless this talented lady !!!!

She achieved the impossible! on guitar !!!

[donkeymasternr1]

i did honestly not think it was possible to play this on a guitar

[wgwilder]

So well done young lady and you can dress any way you like I still love you!!!

[wllmcnwy73]

you're beautiful

[Cazaq]

As a fellow guitarist I must say that was simply amazing , never thought I`d see rach on guitar

[marywinmusic]

I love her interpretation, performance, everything ~ !

thanks for uploading :-)

[ClaireLilith]

il mitooooo!!!! :D

[UJ96LFA]

I cannot believe my eyes..Superb my lady! I never thought I will see anyone play this wonderful prelude on guitar...Now I am devoid of all my biases. Thank you for this magnificent performance!!!!! And to the uploader of course!

[Rexicano]

@UJ96LFA

Never mind that she looks all sorts of crazy?

[UJ96LFA]

@Rexicano Yes you are right. It´s true that she looks that way but who knows if she really is.

[Rexicano]

@UJ96LFA

I'd say Koo Koo is as Koo Koo does.

Why would any one dress like a weird Raggedy Ann Doll?

Like a Cirque du Soleil Clown from Hell.

[bilstew]

Unsurpassable,the music and playing of the queen of the Guitar and Incredible Virtuoso of the instrument..

[cev1109]

i love the way she plays, but there is something about her that i dont like....she kind of looks like a snotty stuck up bi*ch i agree with chopin65

[worcesterguitar]

@cev1109 you are ungrateful and I am glad I don't know you. You and chopin65 should take a look in the mirror some time - you are shrivelled up human beings. Either grow a pair of bollocks and face your shortcomings or shut up.

[MrSsanityclaws]

Silly comment from chopin65. Singers look at the camera so why not a guitarist?

I love her stage presence - you need to LAL buddy: Listen And Learn.

[chopin65]

She is so in love with herself. LOL. I find it to be a bit disgusting the way she looks right into the camera. She plays like Satan himself, but not with the feeling I had expected with that talent and technique. And that dress is distracting me.

[praetorious27]

Galina is astonishing,Does John Williams ever play these kind of pieces.What a marvel in music selection,she plays flawless,never heard of her,not much thought of her at first.Looks kinda dollish,maybe her image.Maria esther Grazia another wonder of the world

[robbourassaguitarist]

Very well done. What great interpretation.

[Dogaradodia]

Certified Intergalactic! Galina Vale is a rare musical genius and a true guitar virtuoso!

[clutch1245]

Awesome. This chick should be in a metal band.

[D0ug16]

You're just saying that because of the poofy hair and the odd dresses, lol.

Amazing performance, yet again by our Galina.

[quarrelsomeness]

hhahaha nope... rachmaninov should've been in a metal band lmao!

[LorenzoBaudelaire]

@quarrelsomeness Doom metal lol

[Harley4matel]

if any one need the Mental rest

Listen to Galina

[cheirodelysoform]

you can really see how the music flows through her, of course she must have put a lot of effort in learning this performance, but that's something you can't notice! A good musician makes music look easy and thats what she have done. Amazing!!! 5*

[Malalvma]

es muy talentosa. seguiré buscando cosas suyas...

[MrLandale]

It is a difficult piece. She plays good, but not as Nicola Hall.

[shirubaed]

Are you crazy!! Galina is the best of the best. Galina is incredible, amaziang musician!!

[noutashinjitsuno]

bravissi!

[ilducamario]

che tecnica, che stile! che modo di suonare!

[gogooman]

she makes me scared but it's amazing:)

[Jorge426Malmborg]

Esta fantastica y maravillosa mujer es la maxima expresion del arte de tocar la guitarra, Ella se entrega en cuerpo y alma en cada una de sus interpretaciones y a la vez es su maxima diversion. Esta mujer si que es UNICA.

[taiwansong]

3Q魅力麻糬!

[sugarcoatedfeces]

AMAZING!!! MARRY ME! I love rachmaninvov... you made my day.

[franklibrary]

It is for the very few people this talented that the word AWESOME was created.

As for her style, from on high Jackie Dupre is saying, "You go, girl!!!"

[bralla69]

C'est le french cancan....La guitare,cest pas le cirque!!!!

[overseez]

WOW!!!

Amazing! Fantastic.

I am at a loss for words.

I have just found Galina's videos and am watching every single one of them. Every single one of them is perfect.

Brilliant playing. Brilliant performances. I love the dresses and the whole show - THAT's ENTERTAINMENT!!!

10 Stars!!!

[hillaroo666]

Galina outdoes herself yet again.

[EduardoPereyra]

Es impresionante esta ejecución. Nunca me imaginé que la guitarra pudiera sonar así.La interprete está en el virtuosismo más elevado.

Cuesta creer. Para escuchar y volver a escuchar!

[eknick]

Nicola Hall also did a wonderful recording of this on her Virtuoso CD, I recommend everyone to listen to it

Can anyone tell me where I can get the sheet music for this piece? I don't know if the guitar transcription is ever published but any information is appreciated thank you!

[poupee58]

Like a female yamashita,she has incredible imagination.Well done for playing this difficult piece on the guitar.

[dindojimenez]

nice interpretation! she just looks funny :)

[bilstew]

I am amused to find you use the word "funny"You are watching a most talented artist in action fulfilling the requirements of her profession and mastery of the wonderful classical guitar.

[overseez]

She does not look funny.

She is a true showman, and can not only perform pieces of astonishing complexity, but can flirt with the audience at the same time in a remarkable performance that captivates an audience.

You are witnessing a genius.

[thomashamiltom]

youre right she does look kinda funny, lol. i could never imagine such a strong eastern european piece played by the little hands of a spanish guitarist! i liked it though, and her little shoulder and head dances

[bilstew]

I think better to say "she looks great and so feminine"

[marlonguitarist]

Sounds like a joke. Leave Rachmaninov for the piano please!

[JACZERO5]

woooww i never think i could find prelude 5 in guitar lovely congrats

[jakaput]

wow, congrats!!!

[STaN47310]

tout simplement incroyable.....

[garotobossanova]

Bravo!!

I love guitar and Rachmaninov and now I love both twofold...

[lute323]

Amasing. It is very interesting to know that

one of the most difficlul piano pieces can be played by the guitar. She is a great guitarist together with a excellent entertainer.

[Roadblock1080]

Wow i can't take this seriously with that dress but impressive performance

[s22290]

wonderful

I would give my life if I could play like a maestro for one moment in time.

Thank you very much for upload this.
