You are exceptionally good! Passion & technique at the best level!

And the rainforest, is heaven on earth! Bravo! Encore!

Absolutely beautiful. You have nearly flawless technique. This is one of my favorite pieces of music and you captured every subtle nuance on guitar. Most excellent! My compliments.

[imsoto]

Kaori OWNS her instrument. What virtuosity!

[gerontophil]

This peace & performance make me feel like hearing music for the very first time . Just fabulous !!

[Goldenbell001]

Nice surrounding, People should go outside and play more instead of being couped up inside. lovely!

[dingoswamphead]

Lovely. I can almost see the little elves and gnomes poking their ears out of the forest to hear it. Those little bats are cute, too.

[truplek]

Paradisiaco..

[Phuchk1]

I really honestly didnt think this would work on guitar but having listened to it, all I can say is WOW. This is absolutely amazing.

[QuantumClassic]

Very nice!

[ripipo100]

magnifique, me donne envie d'essayer cette partition (bien que je n'ai ni le même talent ni le même superbe cadre)

[heirihunziker]

@pockthehairy wow, that works perfectly! i can just do this for hours haha. how did you figure this out??

[pockthehairy]

@heirihunziker you can press all of the numbers on the keyboard for youtube videos, it was just luck that 4 played from there haha. All the credit goes to you as I did laugh proper haha

ジムノペティをギター演奏で聴いたのは初めてです。なかなかギタ­ーに合った曲ですね。それにしてもスラーが綺麗に弾けていますね­。プロですから当たり前か！

[gr333nyboy]

superbe!

i come back to this video again& again.

thankyou for this creation of real beauty.

[carnagegerman]

Oh Kaori, que linda interpretacion. Espero que disfrutastes vuestro tiempo con los Ticos.

[KnowoneWasHere]

hey...

does the neck of her guitar look unusually long to anyone else?

...maybe its just the angle...

[Fuuraisen]

Natures theme song.

[starbuck5250]

A gorgeous interpretation and luscious video that is a perfect match.

[tubecoatue]

Outstanding.  I'm really quite impressed.

[psandbergnz]

Very beuatiful! Does anyone know what grade this would be on the guitar? My son has just done grade 2, so I'm not sure whether this piece would be a bit too difficult for him.

[OnlineShots]

look at the cute wikkle bats!

[tea91907]

delicate and subtle like a geisha's footsteps

[tea91907]

delicate and subtle like a geisha's footsteps

[wiciousbeasts]

This is wonderful!!

[JoaquimRaminhos]

Wow, I never thought such a brilliant piano piece would sound so nice on acoustic guitar. Love it!!

Uau, nunca pensei que uma peça para piano tão brilhante soasse tão bela em guitarra acústica. Adoro!

[larvatrong]

i want to be her friend to be there with her, with a cup of tea just listening this music and throwing stones to those bats

[gustare]

too speed

[herongl2]

absolutely gorgeous playing, matched by the beautiful surrounding forest!

Lindíssimo!!!!

[olguta13]

First of all thank you for sharing this wonderful song, and second I really want to know what song she is starting to play at the end of Gnossienne no.1. I just can't find it. Can you help me?

[think2mucho]

BEATIFUL scenery, BEATIFUL song, BEATIFUL playing ande last, but not least, BEATIFUL guitarist! :D

[totoledjay]

[stevecylin]

[macoulin]

[FabioLoKi]

soooooooooooooo beautiful.

CONGRATULATIONS

please come to Brazil please

so so beautiful

[FabioLoKi]

MARVELOUS!

TRÉS BIEN!

CONGRATULACIONES!

so beautiful, I can't say!

Kisses and hug from brazilian Erik fan :)

great great guitar player.

[MrMiddenfacemcnulty]

How come classical pieces aren't open to individual interpretation. Would it be fair to say that if she chose to play a piece with her own slant that she would automatically be accused of making errors. Just a thought. The whole anal rigidity is a bit snobbish eh.

[thetablarasa]

@MrMiddenfacemcnulty that's totally incorrect! Any person who tells you that classical pieces can't be interpreted doesn't know what they are talking about. For example, Glenn Gould is just one example of a classical artist who presents a number of interesting ideas with his performances and has often been called unorthodox in his interpretations.

[davitogrubba]

This is quite beautiful, but the rhythms are not interpreted correctly. She is playing the bass notes with the grace notes, instead of the "actual" notes, which makes it a bit awkward (though the sound is traditionally "guitar-y").

[mrp1kles]

can u do it with the actual notes? ive found it rather hard on the guitar. maybe i just need to retrain myself.

[mrp1kles]

i wanna learn. show me your ways.

[MsCarlosmc]

i want to make love with her

[masonhamlin100]

masterly, musical and interesting.  perfect video.

[tajunu]

she plays it like its another instrument..?! amazing... kind of...

[Musichato]

2:45 I wonder what the name of those animals is.

[raonipaes]

they are rainforest bats...I don't know their names.

buscá en google, puede ser que econtres algo

[Musichato]

Gracias, buscaré, me gustan mucho esos animales.

[Iaokanan29]

Like Michael Jackon (R.I.P) these bats decided to be white!!!

[harnz12]

Those are tiny bats, sleeping the day away. Bats hate music. A lot.

[PeterAudio7]

Good overall playing and technique. Her tone could be improved upon though as it is too dry.

[steviej0289]

shut the fuck up

[Musichato]

2:45, ¿cómo se llama esa especie?

[cotoocho]

PURA VIDA!!!!

[cotoocho]

Bello paisaje, bella música, bella mujer...

[Thymonico]

Beautiful!

The sound, however, could've been better - but the way it was now, made it feel like I was there listening to her!

[youredead85]

Beautifully done! I would love to be able to play this, on piano or guitar.<333

[kingofskateop]

too fast

[kingofskateop]

I see... you are dreaming me with a dildo... Are you a gay or sth?

Because I don't see a dildo here... So It must be yours...

[doengel]

You are an Expert in this kind of music? make it better, than you can suck my dick

[rain17lover]

wow....

[Sadic6]

espectacular! maravilloso!

[Gnosistic]

Sick

[tickattack]

Beauty beyond words. Is the video of Kaori playing Satie's Gymnopedie available? (you see her start to play it for a few seconds at the very end of this piece). That would also be amazing I am sure... Bravo!

[gerontophil]

She´s really amazing .. Just flawless work !

[gerontophil]

There was also a younger japanese girl in here , who played Shostakovichs Jazz Suit No.2 with an E-Violin , but they´ve removed it . Pity , she was almost as good as Muraji :(

[urbanr0cker]

This is incredible on so many levels.

[tobidashitai]

who knew that baby bats were so cute and such fans of Satie

[FSElement]

D: wow

[RomerNakata]

Bats! I was not expecting to see them.

[NDB2007]

I Love you Amal.. in music.

[bayleaf0929]

beautiful!　very impressive！

[san99k]

Beautiful!

[sormah]

very beautifully played. amazing...

by the way, does anyone know the official web address of Kaori Muraji, or a website that gives you the details of her tours and concerts, please?

[greg3331]

Very elegiac!!! Congratulations.

[aquadog]

amazing on all points

[Terpsichore33]

beautiful!

[yollotly]

Really amazing !

[keto6789]

she's such a babe!!!!

[snotfish777]

thanks.

[thinkpad20]

Do you want a prize or something?

[snotfish777]

yes

[thinkpad20]

I'll notify the committee then.

[evrynicktaken]

I love they way she caresses the guitar. Awesome

[bemdafis]

beautiful.Thanks.

[elvisaron1]

Nice =)

[colonelvector]

This is awesome for so many different reasons.

The guitar version of this definitely gives it a different feel

[Musikantos]

wonderful!

[zzfr1]

ouai tempo lent ça veut pas dire neurasthénique, j'aime pas quand c'est joué trop lentement perso!

très belle interprétation.

[iasiai]

Where is this place??? Anyone know?

[akaminehidetoshi]

costa rica

[norbertDUBOEUF]

Humm....superbe

[bilstew]

hmm yes just a little but the melody of oriental flavour is wonderful dont you think....

[amichus]

Piękne! Beautiful!Just as Satie should be played - not too slowly and not too sentimentally.

[voidforpurpose]

Finest guitar version online!

Muraji's touch is utterly sublime!

[hotarux21]

Muraji-san sugoi!!!

[vicks141]

i know the answer its erik satie's Gymnopédies - 1

[vicks141]

great stuff, does any1 know what song plays right aat the end of the clip, its bugging me i have to hear it, thanks

[Werfen09]

A magical piece.

[jadawin10]

Magnifique...Tant qu'il y aura des gens pour jouer Satie de cette manière, il restera vivant...

[7uc4s]

Belíssimo! Bravo! Five Stars!!!

ありがとうございました！

[Lui191]

BELLO

[mperezll]

Very nice!

[jonnylazer]

this is blatantly being played too fast...FACT!

[Rexicano]

And you are blatantly wrong; it's the perfect tempo.

Besides, if you study Satie at all and know his personality; he would not give a fig about someone altering tempo; he would feel happy someone remembered him thru his musique.

[contact1araya]

Yeah but the pegs or machineheads are also longer ¿no?

[contact1araya]

The neck on that guitar looks unussually long and the machine heads too.Can anybody explain to me why?

[jopontex]

I think the body of the guitar is just smaller relative to the neck. That makes the neck seem longer.

[contact1araya]

She is a great player and she is in the most beautiful place on earth and the song is great and.....oh yes.....she is such a BABE!!!!

[NewLacan]

I never heard this woman before, but this version is very nice. French music, Japanese performer, Costa Rica forest, this is the real globalization. The music and the places are perfects, congratulations from Spain.

[couerdalene]

never heard this woman before. very nice.

[R0gueChimera]

This melody, is so hauntingly beautiful.. i cant stop listening to it.

And she plays it so well.. this is an excellent video , the imagery and the music blend perfectly together.

[voidforpurpose]

Beautifully done and shot.

Superb tone -and undertones- and wittily lithe fingering.

Classic and sublime.

Satie must be shedding a tear of joy.

[philipchek]

Une des plus belle chose à voir et à entendre sur you tube. Quelle belle interprétation !

[knutervalve64]

that was perfect appreciate a distinctive sense in taste

[jadawin10]

C'est réelement magnifique. Je découvre cette pièce que j'adore, joué à la guitare pour la premiere fois. Vraiment splendide

[Rieko33]

thank you very much for this video:).

Anybody knows where can be found the score for this arrangement?

[deadredeyes]

It's great to see someone playing this song at the right pace, and with fluidity and feeling.

[nicoletto78]

sublime

[andreahealey]

This is wonderful - melancholy yet hypnotically beautiful.

[tartaringus]

sublime, yaatik essaha

[fl4vio]

She does not respect the pauses, playing the piece as it were one thing. This is why scoring pieces that sound only good on piano, loses it´s weight when transcriber to such instruments as accoustic guitar. I´ve seen better interpretations.

[KabuklaMiyoleh]

This is wonderful!

[ingeniebrio89]

this is so repetitive i dont like it although she plays good

[Kikoune974]

The snake looks like he is hypnotised!

If you like it, try the gymnopedie series (the #1 is the one that starts when it cuts)

[existozip]

This is so beautifully dark and melancholic, the silence between the measures is hysterical(if that makes any sense).

[flutarte]

Comme une chanson, celle du silence et du temps que nous traversons, vibrant à la rencontre des branches, des feuilles, de la surface de l'eau... Se noyant en nos regards, sur un infini horizon, chanson qui ne s'arrête jamais par peur de tuer l'harmonie, l'essence de la vie. JjS

[Rieko33]

La musique de Satie, aussi simple soit-elle, est vraiment inspirante. J'aimerais qu'il y ait plus d'arrangements pour guitare...

[catandzeus]

where can I get this transcription?

[coupiagol]

MAGNIFIQUE

[MX2803]

I play guitar aswell (and Im very good at it) but this is very very good and much better than I can play.

[Clarissa4o9]

She is Amazing

[santoshbudhe]

the control she has on the guitar is immaculate. Beautiful video and amazing guitaring, simply inspiring.

[verbod]

Une des rares chansons "parfaites".

One of the few perfect songs ever written.

[chacmoljazz]

Erik is alive when people do things like this and when people apreciate things like this
