beat that.

[mofoshrimp]

Nice how he keeps it on rhythm throughout, if only all classical guitar was played like this!

[mjmumaw]

the transcription should be very clear...out of first position the music will indicate that...

[olegrin]

great performance! Bravo Gabriel!

[Aurelius27x]

The action on that guitar looks really low.

[statsrelick]

What a clean player

[andresdavida]

Excelente la interpretacion de este Joven que es una gran Promesa, yo tuve el honor de recibir una clase Magistral de el, y su desempeño como Maestro no esta para nada lejos de la virtuosidad de sus interpretaciones, es un Excelente Guitarrista y transmisor de conocimientos, Felicitaciones!

[dloquetepierdes]

tiene dedos de pianista!!!

[dloquetepierdes]

wher can i found sheets?

[StringSymmetry]

Amazing balance and precision and I love it that he doesn't push and pull the tempo!

[godfather1891]

Amazing Player ! Excellent ! Bravo Gabriel !

[judezob]

j'ai rentré les notes de cette partition sur mon ordinateur, et il me l'a restitué encore mieux que cela , avec plus de chaleur. l'avantage, c'est que je peux controler la vitesse, et choisir le son...je peux aussi mettre des nuances, chose que cet interprete a quelque peu oublié

[27riposato]

wtf???

[PlayItAgainJohn11]

He was so good at such a young age. Wow, he's a prodigy, I hope he makes it to the top.

[sir1920]

no hes chinese. you can kind of see it. his mother is from china and his father is from the guadmala south. they moved to paris around 2005. he knows 4 lanuages.

[gunther101]

Honestly, for me, he plays this song too softly and too restrained for my liking. Guys, it's 'Allegro Assai' for crying out loud! Allegro Assai means 'quite fast', and although Gabriel's version is very nice, it doesn't hold true to what the feeling of the song should be, or rather, what it really is.

If you want slower and 'nicer' sounding classical guitar, then that's fine. There are pieces that are MEANT to be played that way, I just don't feel that this is one of them.

[sir1920]

@gunther101 you have absolutely no idea what your talking about... and its a piece.

[gunther101]

@sir1920

I'm glad you've proven me wrong using logic and a reasonable argument...oh wait, you didn't bother with any of that, did you? I'm aware it's called a piece; since I said "there are pieces that are meant to be played that way".

I merely said I felt the tempo could be brought up a tad, Gabriel plays it very nicely and he's got fantastic tone. Perhaps I did phrase it a bit incorrectly, I wasn't trying to take anything away from his playing.

[duderock009]

@gunther101 allegro assai means "quite fast". yeah thats true , Gabriel plays it quite fast. But this chapter of interpretation has a very subjective nature . What you said it's your opinion , but i dont think that the piece should be played in a louder , more faster way .

[oscardv26]

no el es parisino pero se a lo que te refieres vino a Colombia yo soy de manizales y lo vi en persona el vino hace como un año un poco mas no se si abra vuelto, wow que gran artista definitivamente es mucho mejor el sonido en persona que en el video simplemente espectacular

[n1col45ur]

He's Colombian!!!

[nijikon5]

@n1col45ur No, he's not. He's French.

[n1col45ur]

He's Colombian!!!

[LampoDaVenezia]

amazing :)

[aclouti6]

a wonderful example of perfect technique not as an end in and of itself, but rather as a means to a subtle, sensitive and engaging musical performance. It's like he's saying "look at bach!" as opposed to "look at me!", which i enjoy very much in a guitarist.

[mramosribeiro]

This is the guy!

[PrajeetBajpai]

There's something unique about the quality of tone he produces. And each voice is brought out superbly well.

[Comingessp]

Bravo, impresionante. :D Ole y Ole! :D 5*

[basolo1]

beautiful 

[reverieunicorn]

so beautiful...never see a guy can play as this feeling..

[66THEOSU]

My god thats beautiful...Masetrful.

[photopicker]

tone, tone, tone!!!!!

[jreynoldswrap]

I ate lunch with this guy today.  Cool dude.

[st91bp7t]

wow! excellent~

[alaricoffir]

I can't stand the sound of Smallman's guitars, but this guy is phenomenal player!

[ClassicalGuitar1111]

Fantastic!!!

[pinocantautore]

stupendo senza parole

[The3irik92]

Is that a Smallman? Sounds like one.

[MartinLudenhoff]

BRAVO, Gabriel !!!

[ARIANABOB]

he came to my school today and he so good and he still has tha guitar from australlia

[Guerreom7]

yea this dudes pretty cool he came to my school and I got to meet him. apparently his guitar is from austrailia the top is cedar and and the rest is rosewood it cost him like 20,000

[cyrtolover]

Perfectly balanced by all means.Great

[Maxwellclick79]

He is the man!

[globule200]

wonderfully played ...

[Boldstrummer]

looks like a very short scale guitar that with huge hands which helps. . .

I like the articulations in this allegro.

Would be nice with more terraced dynamics.

[NeCroughdamus]

Joking? The Dynamics make this.

And all three of my Nylon Classic's have 18 frets - thats how they are. And his hands are rather small comparatively to most guitarists - he's pretty short.

[Boldstrummer]

I said more TERRACED dynamics.

He is great but capable of more.

He is very long waisted and tall.

Very nicely articulated but it needs even more contrast otherwise it sounds too

much the same. It takes a lot of skill to increase the dynamic range. Any one can play loud all the time.

[PastaAndPavarotti]

Too heavy on the reverb. It hides the imperfections. In this case he is doing a great job. Lovely and masterful.

Perhaps there is an advantage to playing the guitar in his position like a cello.

[dominiquedv]

Beautiful piece played with maestria.

[Vivace214]

Met him. Nice guy, brilliant guitarist.

[rudylovesmarie]

does it sound like he is messing up allittle at 341-346 on the bass notes??..hmm idk, he plays really amazing live, he played down here in brownsville texas & gave us an awesome master class :D

[frajamasi]

Could some one tell me who is author of this music piece, Thanks.

[frajamasi]

Podrían decirme que obre es esta es fantástica y me agrado mucho la interpretación gabriel. ¡FELICIDADES!

[questionmark05]

haha amazing, i actually got to meet him last week at Cambrian College, great guy, amazing guitar player!!

[lsimo]

Hello Gabriel,

What guitar are you using, is it a smallman?

Thanks

[ferllio23]

That is a Smallman.

[saleens7austin]

Yep, that's a Smallman.

[williamfeuer]

I can sympathize with the the very eloquent swiv2d as well as those who disagree with him(?). The classical guitar repetoire is an acquired taste. But my comment is: wow this guy has vampire nails on his right hand! Hope he doesn't have to type in private life.

[GuitarraUltima]

I do a lot of typing (being a classical guitarist myself) and it's not as bad as it may seem to be. My question to bonproducer is whether Gabriel has his own web site. Would you be so kind and let me know. Thank you. By the way I met Gabriel when he was only 17 and wished him the best for the 2006 GFA Competition. He did not make it to the finale then but 2 years later... you see this video. Very fine playing. The other video (Mertz/Schubert) too. Thank you for posting.

[gabyanco]

hi,

You probably met the wrong person ... I didn't compete in 2006 GFA... but anyway, thanks for the compliments!

gabriel

[sby2000]

Probably the world best guitarist right now. Not many can play in 3D. Gabriel Bianco is one of the only few

who can.

[ferllio23]

What does playing in 3d means?

As in very vivid and colorful?

Thanks.

[JukaduI]

@ferllio23 vocing

[workedant]

Awesome job! I can tell that you can go much faster than this, but it's great that you slow down and try to master this piece.

[MarkoTopchii]

I like this one very much :)

[SUNNYD3322]

Excellent performance. Thanks stanleguetto for sharing.

[karnak5]

Beyond the excellence.

[MrTomekat87]

bravo

[JamesMatthewMeade]

The interpretation is very well suited and beautiful. You've put in great musical work into this. Hope to see more videos from you

[aiwa3]

Ca fait du bien ...

[cogermax91]

C'est superbe !!!! bravo pour votre talent !!!!

[fr4gged]

i got to see this guy a couple weeks ago in concert in third row for two whole hours. it was amazing.

[ippe78]

great

[stanleguetto]

Maintenant je comprends pourquoi ,lors d'un stage,un professeur m'a affirmé avec beaucoup de conviction que Gabriel Bianco était le meilleur guitariste du monde en ce moment . CHAPEAU BAS !!!

[JukaduI]

i've watched since it posted until now

[capnpayne]

i've watched this probably 15 times

[madhavantheguitarist]

Gabriel bianco is absolutely brilliant...I saw him play in the Koblenz competition in 2007 and knew right then that he was going to carry the future of the guitar a long way.

[19Goya]

I got to see Gabriel here in Denver last night & he was so amazing! So much talent.

[TheNick940]

just saw this guy a couple days ago amazing dynamic contrast and phrasing a true musical genius

[orphee10]

Superbe interprétation,virtuosité et musicalité sont au rendez-vous.

[rouvi69]

Beautiful, poetry in motion!

[davidcotos]

Maravilloso!! Una clara de muestra de da evolución que ha tenido la guitarra y de que la nueva generación de guitarristas está haciendo cosas sin precedentes!!! Bravo!!!!!!!!!! Saludos desde Costa Rica! David Coto.

[macmanue]

It's a Little man guitar!!

Gregs guitars sound so good :D

[ctvl45]

c'est impressionnant !!! maitrise musicale , technique, sonore, vraiment bravo...luc

[canonmj]

I must say Krivokapic's version is technically more impressive. But overall, and especially musically, Bianco is more superior. I especially like the stacatto he uses at 0:13 to 0:20 and then throughout the piece. Very effective!

[rolfstraver]

I completely agree, it is played with great musical taste!

[chepurociel620]

@canonmj I wonder if that staccato is not connected with difficult left hand fingering... Whatever, it's great.

[hellow326]

@chepurociel620 If it was then how come he can play the exact same phrase perfectly legato in the few bars before? Its a definite choice he's made to add interest, and it sounds bloody brilliant!

[KINGSUCKERPUNCH]

Off course its boring when your simple minded. Dont bother people who enjoy good music with your pointless comments.

[rockerasoxD]

musica del siglo 19 rulez

[guitalvaro]

Specially when its from the 18th century :P jeje

[rolfstraver]

Bonjour Gabriel

C'est merveilleux ce que tu fais!

[quijanoart2001]

other great for bach very espiritual and elocuent Pirai Vaca.

[KINGSUCKERPUNCH]

Even though I have great respect for Krivokapic, this is so much better then his version. This is the perfect guitar transcription. It's is the original version, and it played so clear, just wonderfull.

Krivokapic playes a different version with a lot of extra notes, and he plays it a bit to fast.

[samtana109]

Have we forgoten about Goran Krivokapic???

[rolandpalm]

Goran's version is much better. Where are all the other notes?

[JohanJonssonGuitar]

You mean the added ones which are not in the violin version, which is played here=P?

[ClassicalGuitarBlog]

Really great. Perfect control, especially the little staccato elements he puts in. Thank you for posting these videos of guitarists in the studio.

[grimeyandcrass]

At this moment, this video has been watched 9,456 times. At least 2,004 of them are me. Whew.......

[RandomMocker]

Perfect control on the voicings - amazing.

[townnet]

Amazing!!! Where hes come from?

[Ghootii]

France.

[thegreatestbak2]

really high angle on that guitar...actually looks kind of comfortable...might try it.

[Luthval]

Bravo !

Val.

[JeanFrancoisDelcamp]

Bonjour Gabriel,

Merveilleux !

Comme vous jouez bien, en gardant toute sa simplicité à ce chef d'oeuvre. Je sais que la simplicité demande du courage.

Je vous remercie de nous faire profiter de votre talent.

Cordialement,

Jean-François Delcamp

[fabguitar1]

Wonderful, the best ever!

[orpheus006]

This is probably the best version of this piece that I've heard that is a straight transcription., that is without the addition of bass notes. He does add an open 'G' when it goes to the high g section at the climax.

However, I believe that the guitar should not limit itself to only what the violin plays. The guitar is a guitar, not a violin.

[Pololaguanabana]

Two Thumbs up!!

[jpsnyder]

anyone know where I can find the sheet music for this? I checked gsp and a few other sources I have, but couldn't find it.

Thanks

[nkoshkin]

Bravo! Excellent brilliant playing!

[carystrings]

First class! An inspiration to the rest of us.

[kamoln7]

perfect perfomance

 beautiful sound

[FatherBach]

So when his recording will be released? i can't wait to hear it...

[burlot2]

brillant!

[bluedustmite]

Wow. Clean as a whistle.

[PierluigiColangelo]

perfect

[segoviaJr]

wonderful playing!!

[takeox]

I enjoy your interpretation very much, 5 Stars !

[guscip02]

Now that was a great rendition!

[suramerica]

Very nice! your channel is probably the best source online to get an idea about guitars and tone. Especially a Smallman reference. I specially liked Goran's Marvi and Dylla's Teryks.

Thanks for posting this.
