John Williams , 6 years old

[philipwesley4]

Priceless!

[lucasapendino]

Jaja.. será verdad???

[TheCommentsMaster]

So that's why he always favored bad music?

[snjebalis]

...the genius John Williams. This is definately him for all the doubters. He has that exact same purposeful sound. Thank you for this!! It is Golden.

[virtuosisimo]

toca mejor que como lo hace ahora! de donde salio esta grabacion?

[SHARPEYEis1337]

lol, he was the Tallan Latz of his day!

[masterkuprij]

Esto es una reliquia!

[jllobet]

this is a treasure! thanks for sharing it. When he plays the second piece you can already feel his passion and love for the instrument, but of course some JW haters will say his playing has always been cold.

[TheJester1962]

@jllobet But surely only the incurably tone-deaf will maintain that his Barrios is passionless ... nothing could be further from the truth.

[ditman333]

Whats the name of the two songs he plays?

[daffydoug]

This is pure gold!

[Mosolygi]

Hmmmmm:)))))))

[EarlLedden]

Listen to the slur on the first few notes and later in the first piece; this is JW, the original. His voice and the voice he gives the guitar says so loud and clear. I have spoken, thus it is so. Earl Ledden

[blurty16]

damn. my self esteem just dropped a mile. xD

[johnapleseed1901]

no way)

[thetiler]

wow !

Nice ! Thanks for sharing !

[TheJester1962]

Of course it's JW! Just listen to the way he makes his arpeggio "sing" and the distinctive bass notes. It's become fashionable to knock him now we've got great guitarists such as David Russell and Manuel Barrueco, but surely they stand on JW's shoulders. He was also the first to introduce us to the works of Barrios, completely ignored by Maestro Segovia for reasons best known to himself.

[mjrami]

@TheJester1962 Your so right, I agree completely

[TheBobnalyd]

That certainly sounds like his voice, and knowing his genius I would not be surprised at this.

[MrNichthomas]

This John Williams has been a household name in the UK for forty years. He was a child prodigy at a time when precocity on the guitar was rare -its much less so now. Brought up in Australia, son of teacher Len Williams, Segovia heard him play at the age of 11 and considered him the heir apparent. Get to hear his recording of Bach's 1st cello suite, recorded when he was 17.

[Arman88]

It's not the film composing John Williams, is it?

[clownsandjugglers]

No, that's a different John Williams

[Sejaynus]

@Arman88 They are different people.

[Mariarel8]

@Arman88 Not the one you're thinking about, but if I'm not wrong, he also conducted the orchestra that made the soundtrack for the film "Amadeus".

[key2kingdom]

It would be great to believe this really is JW, but my belief is suspended I'm afraid.

[60moo]

@key2kingdom His voice has the Aussie accent with just a little bit of 'plum', and his guitar playing has typical Williams dynamics. I reckon that's JW.

[MrPasamu]

Bu adam 16 yaşında başlamamış mıydı gitara ya.. Kim bu? :-/

[azman2155]

what are the pieces, first and second. thanks.

[ricatrinda]

first piece is fernando sor opus 35 no 8

and the second I think he says granadina..

[GinoTheSinner]

lol cool man but how do we know :P

[proberush]

@GinoTheSinner LISTEN TO THAT AUDIO IT SOUNDS LIKE ASS

THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW

[LutenistDeMari]

@GinoTheSinner from his voice and the names of his grandparents?



[bzeliotis]

Fantastic! Thanks. Where did you get it from?
