Angel Romero

[2009thefreeman]

what is the name of this part he is playing and who rote it

thanks

[DasBoese2004]

@2009thefreeman

The name is "Canarios", written by Gaspar Sanz.

[Comingessp]

Que bueno, que grande, Malagueño tenía que ser, arte puro, maestro de maestros, grande muy grande, te queremos Angel. :) :) :)

[drj06tabing]

Angel is simply the best! Compare this performance with any other solos done by other guitarists including John Williams, Segovia, Russell and even Pepe Romero. Angel is unmatched with regards to tonal quality, technique, expression and general musicianship.

[Manolian]

@drj06tabing  100% unequivocally AGREED!

[Manolian]

@drj06tabing Absolutely!



[oscardelanada]

Sanz is renacentist not baroque :p anyway I like it

[gigibeklee]

for a baroque piece, way too romantically interpreted. seems like he wants to impress the audience, not to preserve the core of Sanz's music. impressive, but not in style

[svoika]

@gigibeklee

music allways sounds like musician, different musician different story of notes so different music

[adam2eve]

@gigibeklee Should he bore the audience instead? So long as he's impressing you with the "proper" style, that's probably okay, huh? Do you need to be reminded that Mr. Romero is long past the stage of having to prove his virtuosity or fidelity to anyone? He's not a schoolboy anymore competing for prizes. Here, he's simply having fun with one of the shorter pieces in the repertory. I never heard it played like this before, and I thought it was wonderful.

[camerastart]

Perfect - what u need more? Heaven

[davibe528]

One of the GREATS of the guitar.

[coreyagraph]

saw him and pepe doing duets.............

[MrStryx]

Anybody knows what concert is it? And is it available on DVD?

[bluebellsinthewoods]

Literally...heaven.

[PrestonZero]

that was amazingly amazing

[olivierfr75]

This guy plays to well. It seems to easy, so light, so obvious. I like how he seems happy to play....

[coreyagraph]

he has been playing this piece for over 30+ years. plus great talent, a great family legacy.

[fifirisnais232616]

i had a class with him.....he is amazing!!!!

[guitarrista151189]

For my he(she) is the best guitarist of the world and especially for the harmony with the one that executes the melodies

[frankiedrebin]

you're an idiot. this is angel romero.

[Y2H]

THANK YOU!!!!!

[Y2H]

Please! This is Ángel Romero playing Los Canarios from Fantasía para un Gentilhombre by Rodriguez!!! Celedonio was long dead before this concert!!

[k0rfuffler]

@Y2H I think this version of Canarios was written by Gaspar Sanz.-------at least, that is how it is attributed in one of my books of sheet music.

[jiegjieg]

this was one of my first tapes looong time ago, nice to see it in a video, great performance

[gagi1963andjeo]

5 stars!

[migueldeantequera]

my friends: "study with diligence, perform with gratitude". Get a good instrument and work on it exclusiively. forget your lesser axes. Notice here what a good tone is all about; make it sing, or call it quits! Quite frankly, only Angel Romero and Paco have that tone, as much as i enjoy other top concert artists. Meeting either one must be absolutely life-changing! Best wishes to everyone out there trying to sound well on gtr...

[JPBravo08]

I saw him last weekend play with the Monterey County Orchestra, good shit

[vazduhu1]

very articulately expressed, I'm sure he appreciates the comparison...

[evhsrvfe]

This is an outstanding performance...simply breathtaking

[galliraz]

And you can tell he knows it.

[Curatica]

Angel does it masterfully here!

[counterpoint21]

HAAA! I just played for Angel literally an hour ago at a master class at CSUS (Sacramento). I played the Prelude from S.L. Wiess' Lute Sonata #2. He drilled me on my right hand!

[noazarkle]

Great!I've got Noad's verion but no rasguados in it,unfortunately.The smile on Angel's face when in full flight reminds me of Leo Kottke.

[svoika]

can't say anything. just sit and listen. thats great. the brothers are realyy royal family of guitar :)

[DFCTONATURAL]

what is the song?

[sharif77]

Canarios (literally canaries in English) by Gaspar Sanz(1640 - 1710).

[DFCTONATURAL]

what is the song?

[Y2H]

It´s the fourth movement of Rodrigo´s "Fantasía para un Gentilhombre".

[philomelodia]

this is inaccurate. Rodrigo BASED his fourth movement of the Fantasia Para Un Gentilhombre on this piece. This piece was written by Gaspar Sanz some 250 years before Rodrigo's birth. It is called Canarios and was played on a five-course baroque guitar originally and then transcribed for the 6-stringed instrument. There's a youtube vid out there of someone on a baroque guitar playing this if you wish to hear the truly original version.

[fugueofthesun]

i dont know why they repeat every section it sounds ridiculous

[rvltch]

The original piece, based on a dance, is quite short and rather simple. The repeats just lengthen it and, if you love this piece like I do, it's very satisfying...not ridiculous. To each his own...and to all, the freedom of the Internet to spout off about anything you want to.

[loadermen]

como que los romero son los mejores? jaja no mamen. y se le pasa la mano en los rasgueados le rascan demasiado fuerte principalmente pepe jajaja. pero bueno... la obra ni siquiera indica rasgueados =S

[rvltch]

La obra original era una rendición sencilla de una danza. La interpretación con los rasgueados es más moderna y preferida por muchos...a mí me gusta mucho y lo toco así. Y, sin duda, entre los grandes maestros de la guitarra, Don Pepe es uno de los mejores y Ángel es un gran músico también.

[jazz4]

wow

[AnabelleMotoise]

Lo amo!!!!!

[putier]

increible tecnica!!!

[dwarvengiant]

the head crest i should specify and foremost you just need ot know what the instruments look like and be able to tell about the time frame that it was made his instrument in this looks like it was made in about the 60's or early 70's

[hasan12]

my teacher Joseph ikner was a studen of pepe or angel i think.

[debilin]

Los Romero son los mejores guitarristas del mundo, afortunadamente los he escuchado en vivo a angel y pepe y puedo asegurar que han sido los mejores conciertos que he escuchado en mi vida

[Bikerhannover]

a pleasure for ears and eyes !!!!!

[watercolour]

Wowo Pepe Romero's 1856 Torres sounds really great!! I would walk 999km just to hear the sounds of it live.

[dwarvengiant]

thats not a torres thats a miguel rodriguez who is one of angels favorite makers as you can see why

[watercolour]

awesome clarification ~

I wonder how do you( and we in general) find out the guitar used in particular concert by particular guitarist?

[dwarvengiant]

you can tell what luthier by the head stock even though many use a head stock similar to torres like hauser just to name one

[lrgpp]

Marvelous!

[EricPinson]

The Romero family is incredible!! Way to go Angel..
