Jerome Ducharme: "Fandango" Joaquín Rodrigo GFA part 5

[samuellarochepage]

Best perfomance of this piece EVER ! Merci Jérôme.. :-)

[fretmonkee]

Absolutley incredible. This is on a par with the great Julian Breams version, outstanding.

[trevjr]

wow all the non-Spanish saying it is not spanish enough, how funny. sounds great to me, with great feeling for the music.

[ChollieD]

@trevjr Is it just my perception, or do a lot people get very weird about non-Spaniards playing Spanish guitar music (both classical and flamenco)?

Granted, some people truly haven't taken the time to learn a proper rasgueado, but an increasing number have who are not Gitanos Andaluces.

It's not like Americans go around carping at the rest of the world about their supposed inability to play jazz, nor do the Germans insist that Mahler can only be properly banged out by German symphonies.

[soullessSiIence]

Dylla plays it way better in my opinion, with a more spanish sound and feeling, and he's Polish.

[just4guitarzx]

...... Beautiful!!!

[jcg563]

Dude looks like Andrei "Pitbull" Arlovski. He even shows pitbull fangs -- "Fang-dango" But seriously, very nice performance.

[lunarabay]

1:18 - 2:06 Calypso - Cavalo Manco

[YadQurbany]

Jerome Ducharme.... You're amazing !

[Jocosusjuscoso]

real fandango!

[MrSnorlax22]

Did someone fart at 0:54.

[hstrath93]

@MrSnorlax22 dude i think someone did.... ;)

[psychopathtoine]

@MrSnorlax22 yes i think it was indeed a fart. sounds like a wet one to me! Jerome's performance litarally makes you shit your pants!

[abella33]

Muy buena interpretación.-

Alberto Abella

[jmr1410]

¡bravísimo!

[JohnPatatino]

tecnicamente bravo ma eleganza e suono zero, mi chiedo come abbia fatto Dylla a perdere contro questo qua

[thebeerbaron666]

We as musicians do interpret the rhythms differently. Plays it a bit too rushed for my liking

[sunarudapithapon]

@thebeerbaron666 i agree. not sounding spanish enough. being spanish doesn't mean it has to be rushed

[xbookreview]

1:11 - 1:39

I cannot describe the feeling I had when I first listened to this. He plays a theme, repeats it one octave higher while developing it giving it more depht. Then there are some dissonances and then..1:43 purely awesome, Rodrigo repeats the theme another octave higher. This sounds like the player is very craving. And Mr. Ducharme is wonderfully gifted so he can express this aspiration.

I just sat here in my room and had an eargasm if that word exists :-)

[playlegato]

Absolutely heroic!

[Aurelius27x]

Wow. *.*

[blix616]

I like the way the guitar sounds in this room.

[psychopathtoine]

starting at 3:13 :o

[alfonsobekes]

Excelente guitarrista y guitarra

[sdluthier]

Just marvelous! Far and away the best version of this piece on youtube. The intensity and the finesse combined. BRAVO!!!

[david45114]

valla geta que pone el colega , toca muy bien pero su cara le delata, jaja

[turnosol1984]

un genio !! bravo bravoo

[introspecsion]

alguien podria decirme que marca es esa guitarra, y que marca de cuerdas usa, quisiera comprarme algo parecido pero mas barato.

[acadusle]

Excelente! lo unico que me gustaria es ducharme despues de semejante concierto!

[boomaga]

Just watched about 7 other guitarists version of this same piece - Jerome's is still by far the best

[boomaga]

Segovia's version is much more staid and dignified, so drenched in that ambient reverb, but (with all respect to the old man, may he forgive me) clumsy during those descending triplets (?) - Jerome plays it so fluidly, I'm just astounded. What an amazing talent !

[alienwareufo]

This guy makes the funniest faces while playing! :)

[alienwareufo]

LOL! I wish I could!

[alienwareufo]

What kind of guitar is this? How much was it? Great job on the song by the way.

[carystrings]

The guitar is made in Montreal by René Wilhelmy...prices are of course rising... now in the range of 8 to 10 thousand can. Check out the makers website.

[alienwareufo]

Thanks

[UJ96LFA]

No wonder you won that competition Jerome - truly masterful playing, you´re equal to Segovia´s rendition, undubitably. Your finger work needs no other comment as well as all the emotions embedded in the song..Thanks for upload.

[johsebach]

excelente

[peplicus]

Not second to anyone is this interpratation. I think of Pepe´s great interpretation, but Segovia is a sluggard alongside this.

[winds0fcreation0]

Amazing, the level of energy in that was contagious, shows how good you have to be to win the GFA

[japenagosc]

Nice comment, and you're completely right!!!

[eurodealing]

Bravo!

[quartertonality]

This is one of the greatest musical performances I have ever seen, guitar or not. Simply amazing.

[adambutler65]

Those lucky enough to have heard Andres Segovia playing this Fandango by Rodrigo might agree with me in saying that his rendition is the single greatest piece of guitar music ever played. However, I must say that Jerome Ducharme here gets pretty close to Segovia's sublime magic, in his technical prowess and musicality. Extraordinary.

[rodericksibelius]

I agree, Even though this guy is Great!!, My Segovia Long Playing records in the Late '70's is still by FAR the STANDARD in my Opinion...Segovia Interpretation = NO ONE HAS MATCHED THAT ominpotent LEVEL YET....ALL THE REST ARE COPYCATS...Though I respect their dedication

to continue the Andres Segovia Legacy...

BRAVO!!! Excellent Technique...

Thanks for Posting

[DeepSeaSeamus]
