Li Jie - Serenata Espanola (Malats)

[sake343]

3:00 to 3:30 is freakin amazing...how anyone can say she plays with no emotion, needs to get checked in the head.

[cholly853]

Li Jie is a purest of sorts. She's feeling every bit of this, but her body and mind know the instrument......her heart bleeds with it.

[mabroussardii]

wow

[thelastfakeprophet]

yes she has no orgasmic face but she has a certain consantration that exceed a lot of peoples minds threshold

[psaudisio]

brillant!! exelent!! LI makes me like nothing else matters...she's beautiful

[MrSamTheFlowerMan]

28 Dislikes :O Jealous much?

[roramk]

brilliant!! i wish i could be just a fraction of how good you are

[steve80991]

I dare say if this video had only landscapes instead of her image, most of you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between her and the people your comparing her too. It is easy to sit home and judge but not so easy to play up to your own standards. I've been playing for a long time and in her I see the seed of greatness. Look at all she has accomplished........amazing !!!

[Michajeru]

All great musicians must learn and practice for years to reach such levels of excellence. However, without God given talent they will not become truly great at their art. When we listen to magnificent music we are certainly encountering that which has its source in the Divine.

[pbpeex]

a lot of emotion and calmness.

[sergiosernas10]

i prefer breams version i guess im a big bog fool :(

[gitarkezek]

nagyon teccik



[raphaeljesussr2]

she´s so perfect guitarrist acoustic...

so perfect...

she´s wonderfull...

XD...

[hongxjem91]

perfect

[ScouseFolky]

So everyones a fool for voiceing there own opinion? YOU FUCKING IDIOT!

[steve80991]

@ScouseFolky Opinions are welcome here , name calling not so much

[Michajeru]

We are hearing the voice of God when she plays.

[SqueezeMyLemonBabe]

@Michajeru Uhm, wow, that is quite the overstatement.

No doubt it is an amazing performance, but please, no need to over-do the ass kissing.

[ninjaguy3]

A little too fast in some passages, but her playing is extremely clear and she is obviously very comfortable

[sagizzar1990]

love it :D

[zickpadrote]

wooooow!!!!! toda una maestra!!! saludos desde mexico..... 

[Seryoga28zp]

Li Jie super! Буду учить!

Спасибо

)))

[jamievillasenor]

LI JIE, PLAY WITH THE HEART, TOO. YOU HAVE THE TECHNIQUE...

[jamievillasenor]

No other than Spaniards can play and make the guitar cry like the spaniards, they just have that touch, which I wish I should.

[xxArcanox]

@jamievillasenor thanks for the compliment mate! :3

[jamievillasenor]

She is getting better and better. add more romance as Latin composers are romantic..Barrios was one of them

[stevenlee9108]

i wonder how much is her hand insured for.

[Sirist10]

viendo este vídeo podría decir que la guitarra clásica no tiene nada que envidiarle a la guitarra eléctrica.

[metal592]

@Sirist10 obvio ps man , la clasica es mas dificil q tocar electrica

[Jonlemaar]

People just assume that all Asians are emotionless and forced to play or they'll be tortured. It's kind of funny, but it's bullsh*t. She's awesome!

[ivex91702]

I give her an Okay, I seen better guitarists at my school. Maybe China should spend more money on taking more European and American things from us!

[resirave]

Fantástica, maravillosa! ¡Qué precisión y limpieza en la ejecución! Me encantó.

[JYMLOMBRIZMC]

@resirave  que gay que eres

[mgimm2010]

Bream use different tone colors to show his emotion(common to guitarists that period). in fact i dont like this way. he wants to show his emotion and then he does. however we cant hear lots of tone colors in lijie's version. that's not LACK OF EMOTION! closed ur eyes and hear the melody from heaven.

elle est trés belle. musique aussi....

[yezelinne]

her music is breathing.......so calm...love her music so much...

[Gianlazz]

@yezelinne for me she is not a girl, she is a robot ! she have a incredible fingers!bye!

[MrMusicantis]

@napcos SHE IS THE BEST GUITARIST EVER!!!! FAR BETTER THAN BREAM FISK TAMAYO WILLIAMS GHIGLIA SEGOVIA!!!! SHE PLAYS WITH SO MUCH FEELING I CAN CRY WHEN I LISTEN TO HER!!ARE YOU KIDDING????????!!!!! PLEASE CUT THE DRUGS BEFORE YOU SAY YOU ENJOY THIS MACHINE PLAYING GUITAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ivex91702]

@MrMusicantis, Hi I'm a little offended; that you see this guitarist and you compare her to the real greats like Andres Segovia himself, 1st off, being oriental and playing a Spanish song is a little robotic, I mean there is a lot of culture behind this song (not a racist comment) and if you don't know the culture then a person won't really know song. Educate Yourself!

[Flamencanta]

@MrMusicantis better than bream.... (:...

[macsm]

great emotion, beautiful!

[barokokable]

I like her fingers so much.. ;)

[wsmcasey]

Better than Bream.

[oknarbtal]

A Chinese guitar virtuoso playing with a Spanish spirit. That's how music transcends different cultures. Great version.

[MrSnorlax22]

What guitar is she playing?

[prtky]

i like to hear a spanish song in another culture eyes... it's very refreshing.

[loverboy110790]

I prefer Julian Bream's interpretation by very far.

[SMCK207]

shes hot I'd do her

[xXPredraGXx]

-jealous of her musicianship and sense for dynamics...:| :/

[littlewingforever]

Thanks for this. Classical guitarists are so underrated these days.

[ryujisan]

fireplace fail

[MrNinejan]

wonderful piece......

[hobbitg3]

hace cantar a la guitarra

[Wolfareon]

She changed two lines at the end. She was supposed to play something else. I got something else here on my partition.

[FabriceDSan]

Just listen Ida Presti plays this master piece...

[delameu]

Well people saying there is no emotion are probably picking up on a lack of facial expression, little to no rubato, and overwhelming technique and consistency. None of which are a bad thing really... just a matter of preference i guess.

[MrJukeri]

Very good for a Chinese young woman. However, Julian Bream's version is far better.

[MrJukeri]

Very good for a Chinese young woman.  However, Julian Bream's version is far better.

[snafoofoo]

Never understand comments like that... lack of emotion? Just because she isnt making stupid orgasmic faces during the whole performance doesnt mean she plays with lack of emotion.

[MRHasbun1]

Incredible!Could you tell me who is the maker of your guitar?

[PetruBecker4Rusty]

@MRHasbun1 It must to be an Alma or a Gropp guitar!

[duderock009]

@MRHasbun1 this is an alma guitar . and the other guitar on her videos is a double-top armin and mario gropp.

[mrsunday810]

She makes the guitar sing, just wonderful.  10/10 Awesome.

[mrgeleo]

Such a genius. We are just lucky for watching her in the confort of our homes.

She had been playing just for four years. AMAZING!!

[afeelgoodman33]

@mrgeleo She had been playing classical guitar since she was 11 years old.

[mrgeleo]

Such a genius. We are just lucky for watching her in the confort of our homes.

She had been playing just for four years. AMAZING!!

[europica]

Simply amazing. Wonderful to hear as well as to watch. So much feeling and emotion.

[garizeppelin]

waw lo mejor de youtube sin duda alguna

[Esvandir]

Belo, estupendo, sensacional. Uma fora de série. Esvandir - Brasil

[MrAyissi]

Cela s'appelle en français du DELICE!!!!!!Bravo l'artiste

[kalcom]

Beautiful - its not about who's best beween Li Jie and Bream - They are both magnificent

[PepeCorsica]

It's coming from heaven!! so much clarity, no pretention, simplicity. purity. Just made easy!

For the smart ones who want to show off their knowledge and lack thereof.. just close your eyes and listen.

[freemantemani]

bream is one of the kings of the classical guitar but shes very good i love itbraaavo

[pearljamay]

her emotion are hidden in her fingers, and please watch carefully her gestures, her moves of her head, her chest, her arms... she moves with the song in harmony... anyway, the melody is wonderful .... tranquille...

[Iomind]

No emotion? Are you deaf? Sure, some parts are not quite there but overall she is an incredible performer.

[BIBLICALENDING]

melomane49, amen brother...

[MVandoff]

Ummm, I have to say...

I absolutely prefer this version to Bream's

[Gomesda1]

@MVandoff Bream is the best ...

[MrTranxuanloc]

i love her

[GinoTheSinner]

Any of you people dissing this rendition.. Do you really think she knew what Joaquin Malats had intended when transcribing this piece, what Gaspar Cassadó tried to convey with this piece or what spain is about, at that age? Ofc Breams interpretation will be more lively and colorful.

Li Jie plays immaculately on every upload here, but she was not an old experienced master.

[cancontrl]

beautiful play, but alas, way too robotic.

[TheEastons195]

@cancontrl And yet, she is human. That is the beauty, in the perfection.

[ScouseFolky]

The piece is played perfectly. However I would have to agree and say that it does lack classical substance. Listen to Julian Breams interpretation and then listen back to this piece , and only then can u see the performance lacks both feeling and emotion. But maybe its unfair to compare theses two as

Bream is the greatest musician thats ever lived.

[momentinpassing]

@ScouseFolky I have to say that if Bream played his guitar as well as his facial expressions and head jerks would suggest then he might be "the greatest guitarist". I enjoy music for the way it sounds, not the way it's sold. And comparing music in terms of competition makes about as much sense as comparing the love grandmothers put into baking cookies.

Not that there is anything wrong with your comment. However when I see western culture's critical view expressed in that way, I want to puke.

[ScouseFolky]

@momentinpassing Someone expresses there opinion and U feel like puking? lmfao

You have got serious problems lol And who mentioned anything about the way Bream expresses himself physically? I said listen to Breams interpretation and then listen back to this one. Take the time to read the comments posted before replying with your bullshit, meaningless, retarded responses. This is probably all you live for you imbecile lol

[sudacape]

@ScouseFolky if you like Bream, ok, listen Bream, don´t say Li Jie¨s lack......She got every thing.

[Bostero3771]

@ScouseFolky aren't you pushing it a little bit? "Bream is the greatest musician thats ever lived"??? there was a guy by the name of Wolfgang Amadeus... another Ludwig Van, a Johann Sebastian... among others whose contributions to mucis were far larger than Bream's who is not even the best guitarist of his own generation. Certainly a great player but not in the same league of Williams.

[yunrxtko]

bravo!!!!

[Evoluciness]

Me encanta su forma de tocar, su actitud meditativa y serena, su fuerza al interpretar, es un deleite, LI JIE, ME ENAMORA TU FORMA DE TOCAR, tienes magia, alquimia o que se yo en tus manos, en tu ser. Muchas felicidades y bendiciones.

[baquissy]

Li Jie is the best classical guitar player of our times

[lapordge]

@baquissy

Even though Li is my favorate guitarist, i wouldn't say she is best.

Even a few of her classmates are no worse (only better). Let alone those world renowned masters.

[oldbluewolf]

只需辉煌。每一个音符是完美的。

[sdkeller72]

WOW she's incredible, I hope to be able to play like that one day.

[willy1986tralara]

buf... sin palabras

[annvifernandez]

I'm wondering if she and her classical guitar are born twins.

[snafoofoo]

She is amazing.. absolutely perfect, not a single mistake, no string buzz or squeaks as she moves up the fretboard

[ctyliss]

She plays wonderfully. Anything else about lack of emosion is nonsense.

[schnebeni]

@ctyliss Something about lack of spelling isn't nonsense though.

[spliffizzle]

the emotion is in her fingers

[ByteSchubser]

I'm wondering why people can't differentiate between someone who hasn't got any emotions and someone who is concentrating. May be they don't have any themselves, so they don't know what to look for.

[rivercast]

Seriously ... no emotions ? Try using your ears & heart ... seeing isn't everything in music or life. If you wanna only see to feel, go watch a sunset ... that's different but just as beautiful. She is simply amazing ... try listening with your eyes closed for once.

[raphaeljesussr2]

she's a machine...

one perfect ...machine.

congrats li jie sama...

congrats...

XD

[mandrunk]

..."a certain degree of emotion"? ..."lack of emotion..."

Oh, my God, you have no ears!!! Compare her interpretation with any other, they will seem robotics!

Her music is pure emotion, she must be an angel playing guitar... surely the best i ever heard.

[TheYoungDieGood]

yes she does play with a certain degree of emotion and it's indicative of her own disposition and candor...

it's not a deliberate show of force or the over-dramatic histrionics most are accustomed to...

[filmfelineadmin]

99999999999 not everyone acts like a clown when they perform.

She has plenty of emotion - it comes out in her performance where it should be.

She is magnificent.

She she Li Jie! Bravo.

[tuffy321]

that was absolutely magnificent

[efigenia35]

you're the best, greetings from mexico

[milosbijelic]

Wonderfull, clean and clear sound :)

[99999999999999994041]

Aucune émotion sur son visage cà c'est tout à fait vrai comparé à Julian Bream qui est vraiment un numéro à lui tout seul

[newnoggin2]

@JeankarlosCruz You have an incredibly small mind and smaller ears. Jealousy, perhaps.

[goscott4]

Spanish Guitar played the correct way, and from China,,,,Romero's are you listening??  :-))

[awfulguitarplucker]

this is just beautiful! i adore this piece so much..and this version is incredible!

[UriahNate]

Jealousy is what i see on this board. Emotion? What a bunch of bullshit.

[peacebeuponyou70]

Anyone with negative comment, just click to other videos. That way, others can enjoy her music.

[TheIkawatay]

she supresses her emotion so that her mind can play properly...its the asian way

[ha1801]

super!

[TheVipernick]

BAD ASS!!!!!!

[archlutesmith]

I don't care if she plays with emotion or not personally. She sure is fun to watch and listen to.As far as I'm concerned, her interpretation of the music is dead on. But of course, this is master chen zhi's interpretation. He was the teacher. Check out some of his other students too, like bo gyung,xufei yang, wang yameng etc etc etc... Li jie may be my favorite

[nineteenboy]

@JeankarlosCruz I appreciate your sense of humor

[JeankarlosCruz]

Lack of emotion.

[abby161919]

@JeankarlosCruz you are an idiot

[TauruVikingur]

@JeankarlosCruz lack of emotion? you've shown us nothing...

[sohanlou]

the one that say she play without emotion are poeple who understand nothing to music,she is fantastic player.keep going li jie

[The1Guitarist1]

I must hand it to Li Jie, it's quite an achievement to make such a beautiful piece of music sound quite so ugly.

[ntsmato]

Magnífica interpretación, muy limpia y con gran sentimiento, bellísima, Bravo!!!!

[Loveguitar1996]

i know how hard is that song... and she plays.. wow amazing!!!!

[iorixs]

im your greatest admirerererererer!

[musiclover0187]

man i just been listening to the best all my life, like Segovia, heifetz, misltein, gilels, gould, cortot, david oistrakh, kogan, arrau, horowitz, francescatti, and so on... she plays beautifully, all im doing is comparing her to the greatest artists of all time becuz she qualifies... but i think she can have more dynamics in there... her skill is maestro status but Iv'e personally heard more emotion...

[Seiku]

Lots of know it alls on youtube lol

[simonshusse]

Anyone with any formal training in guitar playing can appreciate how truly difficult it is to play with the colors and rhythm that she manages to do. He who says otherwise should upload a clip demonstrating how it should be done - I dare you.

[musiclover0187]

its not that its lack of emotion, its lack of color, her technique is maestro status but there is no waves in her play, to b more clear she needs to work on her nuance's.

[BABAOR10]

li jie i love you sooooooooo ;)

[mogoxXx123]

esto es musica buena y de calidad, vale mucho, se agradece

[anakronyst]

silly. typical chinese -- memorize the notes, and no idea of what's really playing.

she will likely never be able to play single note as good as sergei orekhov.

[gekkigheid4life]

chinese always look like they have to do major doody xD

[likogunardi]

Great!!!!

[ppedalen]

Man i want to marry her , how the he.. i get so old ...Darn.....

[tonet5761]

Lie Jie never fails to amaze me..exellent rendition..way to go Lie Jie..=)

[hernie123]

the emotion is in the music ..!

[peruchoserrucho]

Para poder tocar así, primero tienes que sentir la música así dentro de tí, eso no es falta de sentimiento. Criticar así es no saber nada sobre interpretar música con un instrumento.

[melomane49]

Those who say that this great artist has no emotion are mistaken in the following way: This is not the striptease show they are looking for. This is a great guitarist playing with mastery and feeling, for music lovers. That's the difference.

[cholly853]

@melomane49 .....in fact she is a world class master tought by a world class master.

[LinnyRin]

@melomane49 I second that. You'll HEAR all the emotion.

[alexdeitaca]

Excelente!! Tks

[rodasabrao]

cara realmete esse cara é muito talentoso...

eu baixei todas as musicas que ele toco da faixa dos 7 minutos pra baixo sempre escuto em casa até arrisquei umas tentativas de imitar lo mas é impossivel..

ainda mais tocar com a mesma facilidade que ela da os arpejos e as notas ele faz o que for pra ticar um simpres tempo...

essa cara é muito foda meus parabens ...

sucesso!!!!!

[Joguecas]

Bien.

[evenshadow]

shes great, my favourite :)

[pecas771]

bravissimo. esta menina é um génio tocando esta Yamaha CG 180 SA que a Yamaha nunca mais fez. Tenho uma com numero de série e tudo. Ela é fenomenal. Ela não existe. Só de vê-la uma pessoa desanima. Como tocar assim?

[jtryde]

How on earth does someone get so talented at such a young age? This proves that some people are given a gift for certain things. She is really someone special.

[mrajczyk]

this proves that Li Jie is the sexiest woman alive

[mrajczyk]

this proves that Li Jie is the sexiest woman alive

[TheLkLkLkLk]

i wonder who taught her

[tarquin161234]

There is a chinese instructional video on youtube that can be found with her teacher talking and Li Jie doing the demos.

[CamaronDios]

oh dios santo..

[dgllamas]

I do prefer the bass notes included in the upslides, but nevertheless, she does an excellent job anyway.

[aaronshaddy]

Excellent rendition :)

[13325poop]

you slut, i will destroy you haha

[damiapou]

brillante!

[hayleyfan1989]

brilliant guitar player from China, Li Jie

[zhangketiger]

李杰，我好喜欢你，你的曲子我都听了无数遍了，这个曲子是我最想­学的。你就是我的榜样，这是你很久前的视频，不知道你现在是什么­样子了。希望你幸福。

[LITOmi]

[keto6789]
