[pckben]

This piece is so magical...

I have got to practice it!

[agoaii]

Divino !

[TheJean96]

[antievil777]

The theme for the Anime Hellsing yeah!

[paskaldjay]

Oh my God, he use Ignacio Fleta !

[BMXJeff]

bottle of scotch + classical guitar = things you get arrested for

[AmonOfTheSahelijos]

badass.

[AmonOfTheSahelijos]

@AmonOfTheSahelijos hi myself from 3 months ago

[nmclay]

Every few months, no matter what is happening in my life, I return here to watch this video. I come to marvel at the virtuosity and sheer brilliance. I have been watching this video for over 4 years and still I am moved by his performance. Bravo!

[mmxcrono]

@nmclay same here! I wish he would remake an HD video haha.

[haroldbernardberry]

wonderfull cover of barrios,but barrios recorded on 78 against the clock and despite a few fluffs and a crummy recording ,its passion and pace hasnt been surpassed

[maurorock445]

i like his corporal expresion. that feeling....

anyway i think andante religioso was played to fast. i dont know, is my opinion. i love it after all ^^

viva barrios

[classicalmannick101]

this player has really awesome tone - is his guitar a fleta?

[dpg25]

@classicalmannick101 Yes, he is playing a Fleta here.

Leo Brouwer(1939- )：Concerto da Requiem, in Memoriam T.Takemitsu II (dedicated to Shin-ichi Fukuda,2005-6) *Asian Premiere /Taiwan

[yasu89v]

One of the most amazing performances ever, at the speed Barrios tried to play it himself, technically perfect, and still with so much feeling... There are no words for this...

[wvquine]

Still the finest version of this piece I've ever heard in the last 20 years or so. Yamashita does some parts of it better, but as a whole, Fukuda's performance is superior.

[csnjava]

KacanuHa, I totally agree with you. I notice, however, that this version of his the fingering is more playable than that is available on Internet.

Do you know where to get this score version of the music?

[slashhatim]

yeah I know go to Amazon and buy the original score

[TruthSurge]

I actually wrote this for saxophone and then went back in time and gave the sheet music to Bach who told me it sucked so I went forward a bit and gave it to this guy named Barrios. He told me it needed to be polyphonic instead of one note at a time and after some consideration, I agreed. I told him I wouldn't tell anyone in my time about it but I guess I lied. HEHE

[richybarroco]

bello!!

[KacanuHa]

Only Williams matches a performance of THIS ALTITUDE! For all those who say it's not good enough - I think you've never played classicl guitar before, otherwise you should know this piece is extremely exhausting for the left hand. I bet noone can match this video. Wonder why... :D

[lilideisy]

SWEET MUSIC

[mar6co200]

este chino toca del carajo XD

[jimd87211]

es la verga este pinche chino jeje!

[honeyspur]

What a delicate touch...

[bobbycamp101]

i don not understand your comment...what do you mean?

[tubuic]

The individual playing this piece a Japanese Shin-Ichi Fukuda. Go do some research on him.

[gitarre0001]

Who is Dao Duc Lam? This player is Shinichi Fukuda. There is no doubt.

This video is very old, but you can still buy it. See the website of "Gendai Guitar". The first piece of this series is Grande Overture by Giuliani.

[tubuic]

I will purchase one. Thanks.

[thealex82]

this guy is awsome

[thealex82]

this guy is awsome

[avsdavidt1]

I like it. Good stuff!!!

[wicioszek]

IMO its the best playing of this pieces.

[vicaya]

La Catedral, played by 福田進一 Shinichi Fukuda

Youtube should allow user tagging and fix spellchecking using google's technology (it's been a while since google acquired them), I was search ing for "Fukuda Catedral" and couldn't find it due to the misspelling in the title.

For an equally (probably more) impressive performance see Denis Azabagic's more dramatic interpretation.

[MoiDeCoentro]

damn, Barrios sure knew how to make it sound good... i'd like to hear him playing

[detectivehin]

福田進一 Shinichi Fukuda

very good ~

[slackmaster2000]

Am I wrong, or is this the only clip of the full La Catedral by anyone on YouTube. Sure it has it's flaws but I haven't seen anything that is played better; only cynical comments. Where are the brave posters that can put this version to rest? Are they too busy posting?

[luppo3]

If I don't like the interpretation of the piece, this doesn't mean that I'm cynical. I tell my opinion and I don't care what other people (usually not musicians) think about it.

[luppo3]

There are so many people, filled with admiration, but I don't like much the interpretation of the piece, not enough phrasing, the whole piece needs much more difference between forte and piano ( needs more dynamic nuances ), because it is a romantic piece. Romantic music has more dynamic nuances even from the music of the classical period. Also the first and the second parts are too fast I don't know why so many guitarists don't play it enough slow.

[nmclay]

Usually, I just see comments like yours as just an opinion. However, I cannot see your point on this post. I challenge you to show me ANYONE who has this command of this exceptionally difficult piece and interprets it in such convincing fashion.

[luppo3]

I think my point is very clear - the first and the second parts are too fast (they're slowlier). If you play a part faster than it is, this is not because of the difficulty, but because of the interpretation...

[tongueboy500]

that was amazing.

[ham101ma]

i like the way you express your self in the piece!

extremely interesting guitarist!!!

i've watched this video many many times,thanks!!

[mugencode]

Fukuda-san plays piazzolla very well.

serch by fukuda,piazzolla.

[SpudAmza]

:O rien a dire .. je resterai bouche B toute la journée!!

[pam688]

I maybe have the john williams's level in...about 40 years ^^

but i've played some harder stuff.

[lavinfung]

I wouldn't exactly call this easy though. In Canada it is level 8 RCM exam material. So may be you've done your ARCT teacher cert but still I wouldn't call this easy myself though even I can play all 3 movements without looking at any music sheets anymore... ;)

[jpb10]

only the prelude is level 8 i believe, isn't it ?

[lavinfung]

My teacher mentioned that to me couple years ago when I said I wanna learn the whole thing. But I guess you're right. I am not even close to level 8 yet but since I love this so much I just force myself to learn it.... just the notes so far.

[pam688]

easy but nice !

[jaggedsphere]

Either your name is John Williams of you did not watch this vid...;)

[Bogdan1980]

Dumb asses like yourself always get me. La Catedral is one of the most complex compositions to play. It's the overal harmony of the piece and the difficulty to make it sound right and whole is what matters. THe fact that you can make sounds of the notes written on the sheet..maybe..means nothing. Go play Carcassi!

[wulfio]

hes like rainman with a guitar!

anyone else notice that giant coke nail?

[pavlovick]

Someone knows who is the interpreter??? I want his name.-

Alguien sabe quien es el interprete? Necesito su nombre.-

[RobySanI]

Shin Ichi Fukuda. 25 years ago!

[pavlovick]

Thank you very much! Where did you get that info?

[djstormin826]

Beautiful! Definitely 5 stars!

[KacanuHa]

the only one interpretation which is as good as this one(or MAYBE even better is John Williams'). i like them both equally. this guy is godlike

[hailthehorde]

It sounds so beautiful

[snakeinthegrass20]

As good as you will hear it on T.V , youtube anywhere in the world my friends. Absolutely fucking flawless.

[TheFrenchiesRock]

5 stars

[hueseph]

The Allegro part is extremely difficult to play at tempo. Well excecuted. And, yes, very musical.

[fruscia123]

Es ist das schönste, was ich jemals hören durfte!!!!

Besonders der Anfang könnte mich fast zum Heulen bringen und ich bin nicht sentimental!

[sdsratm]

This is stunning. Why is this not 5 stars?

[uncleparsnip]

why is this rated a 4??? its flawless. It couldnt be any more perfect. its a 5.

[scottbos68]

alot of stretching there hurts to watch

[fazzin]

el chinito tiene mucha onda!!!He`s a far east middle ages ninja whit a guitar instead of his katana!!cool!!

[bizorgas]

just... excelent

[serpentofbabylon]

damn thats nice. i used to play this piece when i was in college and that beginnin arpegio part is a bitch to nail so that it sounds good and resonant with all of the mixed high notes/open strings combos. he did a beautiful job though. respect mi bredda.

[risingdead400]

that peice is absolutely beautiful

[Rbnqss]

wow dude! those fingers are long! :D

[guitarzin]

EXCELENT !!!!

[scottiem1]

Absolutely brilliant and musical.

[brauliovt]

Y se queda tan agusto...el puto amo!

[jpb10]

he looks like thom york from radiohead

[salomesandoval]

it is "La Catedral" no "La Catadral"

[clx2517]

amazing!!

[happidae]

nice posture

[duarte12]

very, very nice!

[musichuqui]

solo puedo decir hermoso!

[snakeinthegrass20]

The action looks mighty high on that thing...I fucking hate high action !

[coreyagraph]

think about the genius to compose a piece like that

[fruscia123]

Das vielleicht schönste Stück, dass die Musik hervorgebracht hat. Allein dafür würde es sich lohnen, Gitarre zu lernen.

[stitchxl]

Magnifique interpretation !!!

[bigkd69420]

christ this guy is amazing wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow

[fresnoflamenco]

very nicely done. incredible

[LaGuitarraRomantica]

I'm missing something here. The recording is a little bad. Takes away from what I should be appreciating. Look up Pepe Romero, he is a good player. And no offense, but Barrios is the real genius for composing the music, we are merely interpreters.

[cartobum]

You sure are missing something. This isn't about Romero or Barrios. It's about this young mans incredible ability to play the guitar.

[MaskedGuitarist]

Bach? o_O

That piece is from Barrios Mangore, not from Bach!!!

[zazzidog]

Great musicianship and soul! Breathless and inspirational!

[russellmj]

Wonderful. That guitar is a tone monster.

[Tower212]

I knew it was a masterpiece within 5 seconds. Your tone is absolutely amazing

[mandala41]

One of the most beautiful guitar pieces. A fitting tribute to J.S. Bach

[RobbieCook]

A wonderful piece being wonderfully played.

[codonauta]

The end didnt work , but the execution was very well.

[MrOCDhelpmee]

I want to play like that but with the piano.

[MrOCDhelpmee]

flawless and with grace.

[guitarist147]

Beautiful playing

[crg1234]

Ich Weine!!! Oh, so schön!!!

[Phicle]

C'est beau la musique !

C'est beau Barrios !

Et la guitare est le plus bel instrument ! :-)

[proberush]

Amazingly beautiful.

[jamesan34]

Thank you Fukuda San for a beautiful rendition of the

famous piece.

[Masatoshi1951]

He is Shinichi Fukuda,Japanese famous guiarist.

Fukuda was born in Osaka Japan 1955.

1981 Winner of Paris Internatinal Guitar Concours.

[JonnyDexter]

is this guy normal? BRAVO- fantastic!

[05rsx]

cleanly executed but other than that nothing heartdrawing..

[gjourney]

Barrios is one of the greatest guitar composers of all time. This Guy has nailed it! This is fantastic. He should be right up there with John Williams, C. Parkening, and Sharon Isbn. Wow! I have been playing classical guitar for over twenty years. This type of playing takes some of the most concentrated and dedicated practice.

[fruscia123]

i've never heard such an unbelievably beautiful interpretation of barrios, and i've heard great guitarists, believe me!

[voglish]

Who is he?Is he a Chinese?

He plays this very well,just like J.Williams.

[peter1444]

this song is from the biggest paraguayan guitarist ever.

[jimmyp37]

I know I am crazy but this may be the best post on you tube by any guitarist... this is stunning.

[Letargian]

Bravo I know and love this song.

[otaviolcosta]

i play this music....i´m from brazil and this chinese plays very well...it is a very dificult piece and he´s done a very good job....congrats, it is impossible to be completly calm playing this song.

[jimmyp37]

this rivals john williams...

[jimmyp37]

I know... this is insane. Man he plays this to perfection

[what567]

An absolutely incredible interpretation. The first movement nearly had me in tears.

This is what playing the guitar is all about.

[granec]

Who's this guy?

[todaugen]

YES.

[panterafan01]

im totally speechless.... amazing

[Classicalguitar4ever]

The guy seems a little nervous, but he did a good job

[Adom01]

This is a great song, played beautifully.Good job.

[zypheryss]

this song is awesome, he plays it sooo good! and like. the quality makes it look like some coo 1900 playing thingy lol. all in all good job, really is a wonderful performance.

[musicfreak616]

omg...im still here, visiting the vid...im so emo right now

[iluvlambchop]

Absolutely moving and incredible.

[ChrisRaffoMendez]

PREtty good uz guys should look at my classcial gas

[buddybear]

The man Is a genius!

[azzurroehrenmann]

You are listening to a great Fleta Guitar (Who thought it was a Yamaha C40). For this kind of Music it's unique! - Wonderful Performance.

[mrjass]

whats the name of the first song

[mrjass]

its the music of the game ace combat distant thunder.its so beautiful.

[musicfreak616]

i agree nmclay...apparently i visit this video, everyday..lol

[nmclay]

My God. Astonishing talent and tone production. You could feel the sound echoing through a cathedral! What a mental picture. Bravo.

[musicfreak616]

the piece makes me cry...the spirit of a musician is in him...the skills in his guitar is nonsense once u know your in the reverie of his playing...dramatic and sorrowful

[GentleKing]

I have stopped playing this tune for a long time ago.

But I think many of your left hand positions (third movement) is different from me.

The first movement can make some people get a dream!!!!

Sometimes your right hand appregio had some inconsistency.

[musicfreak616]

wtf? u dare defy him? lol...

[death666metal]

wow beautiful

[CosmicOsmo]

wow, this man has some great tone!

[saintnarkoba]

what a peace melody~~~

i like~~

[Frankijayj]

seriously speaking you have got good fingers

nice guitar is that YAMAHA C40?

[Bullerias]

I hope you are joking. The Yamaha C40 is a toy guitar!

[hamwinkie]

If inspired, go with it! Play 8 hours a day. I wasted a gift. This has been told to me by experts, family (worse) and watching all you here. Sigh. Peace

[argentsong]

Amazing! Very inspiring

[savarez]

Shin Ichi Fukuda is a great guitarist and a great master on the guitar along with Kazuhito Yamashita who is another master on the guitar on Japan and on the entire world. Fukuda demostrate a flawless technique on both hands and a lot of expression on his interpretation....the third movement of La Catedral-Alegro Solemne- was played with heart...a great master without complaining

[blhsing]

Best rendition of the piece I've ever heard. Shin Ichi Fukuda? I gotta look for more work of his from now on.

[hazardvio42]

I uploaded Mr.Fukuda movie at Japanese TV music programs. If you have the interests, please watch this.

though he couldn't express his max guitar techniques because he was nervous for live TV broadcast, even if consider that, he is a representive Japanese guitarist.

[hazardvio42]

if watch his fascinated face on play, will be able understand. He spent many years in foreign countries like France before his mejor debut.

and now he is making the effort that make new age great guitarists like Dai Kimura, Kaoru Muraji and Kenji Oohagi etc.

[hazardvio42]

this player, Shinichi Fukuda is one of the guitarists that should be respected the most in Japan.

in Japan, there is never guitar lovers that don't know about his name.

not only he has great guitar technique equal to world level, but also has expression power that general players never imitate.

[thumbprints]

Wow, almost flawless. Even some of the very difficult parts in the piece, he handled them easily~~!~!~

[elmario01]

very nice tone, a real musician ( : Congrats, i hope to be able to play like you one day ( :

[JukaduI]

long fingers

[shawkobezhu]

noiseless shifting,perfect articulation.....he's on par with john williams!!

[sbornfeld]

Very nice!

Anyone out there keep their P nail that long--ouch!!

Steve

[hamwinkie]

I quit classical playing 30 years ago due to bad nails! I know, what a waste. I went blues/jazz/rock instead but man. I would do anything for great nails and a great teacher! Peace

[serpentofbabylon]

try gelatin pills. i m dead serious--the shit really works. worked for me.

[elmetalman]

what are gelatin pills?

[serpentofbabylon]

they re dieatary suppliments you can get from any GNC store (most come in capsules). gelatin helps you grow stronger nails (and hair too apperantly). if you take them regularly, your nails won't break as much--at least mine didn't. it might actually help your tone since you re not messing with your nails that much and can strike strings with a lot more confidence.

[marvl]

Wow, great piece, great guitar, great player.

[TonyMorris]

Indeed. This is what great musicianship is all about: beautiful tone, in tune, technical security, a beautiful and tasteful and intelligent sense of rubato, clean separation of melody vs. accompaniment.

[JohntheBohn123]

Beautiful guitar - Fleta!

[TonyMorris]

Beautiful playing! Who is it?

[JohntheBohn123]

Shin-Ichi Fukuda
