Dimitri Illarionov - Valseana (II) & Preludio e Toccatina

[yantsank]

I'm working on "Aquarelle" currently. Comments on Mr Illarinov's performance here"

Pros:

- Fiery approach in the third movement

Cons:

- Inconsistent interpretation - I thought the rhythms were an intrinsic and essential part of the writing - too much unexpected rubato here!

- Flubs, flubs, serious flubs - sure, they happen to all of us, but why allow them to go out on Youtube?

Metalheads watch post 3:00.. Phew!

[alynmearns]

16 dislikes??? Petty, jealous classical guitar nerds....on behalf of the real world please stop polluting these kind of amazing perfomers' videos with your negativity, it's so sad and cliche! I mean if somebody's shite sure dislike it but not if they're obviously awesome like this guy, come on!

[MrArdelco1970]

i like too much his style

[leoaugustin]

Well........I am not sure !!!!!!!!

[PierreBruno]

The moving in the theme is perfect. not too much! just good. Bravo

[voodooorc]

[dandonchu]

does anyone know Valseana 's story? I heard it was from a water color , doese anyone know the painting and the painter ?please ,tell me , thanks ~

I love Valseana .

[netonomochilas]

no me canso de ver este jodido video!!!

[coryvibe]

This piece is crazy difficult!!! Amazing playing, but I agree that the valsana movement should be slower. I was hoping to hear the entire piece ; where's the fist movement?

[atw42]

oh it's assad right?

[eastonmackay]

i think it should be played slightly slower but he's a great player, good dynamics

[TalkingPointes]

Great player, what disrespect he is a virtuoso.

[mjrami]

A virtuoso is someone who interprets music by other composer. Why do you think that (eastonmackay) disprespects him?

[blahavyterd8]

Superbe!!!le son est très beau,et il est très inspiré!!!

[hevidt]

un guitarista tan sensacional!!!!que chevere!!!

GRACIAS por el video.

[azkeyz]

why does this piece work for him ?

Because you can't stop a joyus player no matter what.

This mans face showing the joy , and his playing showing it too.

pray he doesn't find out what an electric guitar is.

if he did our gooses would be cooked.

Definitivamente Dimitri es uno de los guitarristas más virtuosos en el medio.

[aparicon27]

What brand/model guitar - strings does he use??? Anyone know? The sound quality is extraordinary.

[trebronsmad]

Dimitri plays a guitar by the German Maker Dietrich and he uses Savarez strings on it.If you like his playing as much as I do... go to his web-page ...

There is a link to his brilliant CD "East Side Story" which is absolutely worth listening to.

[amilava1]

It's amazing performance, however these Savarez Alliance trebles sound horrible on this guitar.

[martinfedyna]

Que Bueno ! increible este tipo.... tenes algo mas del concierto ? Saludos desde Argentina.

[Angelik07]

Wonderful...

[feggus]

Great video, thanks for posting.

By the way, you've spelt his second name wrong, its Illarionov.

[classicalguitarist1]

Excellent video.

[SoloGuitaristNet]

Fantastic! We will be posting more of Dimitri soon, also.

[Fabjan2007]

It's just fabulous and very romantic melody !

[gerabeat]

kabe con madre que subiste este video... me toco ir a ese concierto! sin lugar a dudas un concierto que no podia creer... emocionante de principio a fin... y al final tocó la de un dia de noviembre y se paró y se fué del escenario caminando tocandola! fué un toque bastante bueno jajaja increible ejecución de las piezas de todo el concierto! saludos!

[guitarradeviento]

Muy bien, exelente, solo que siento que ese tipo es muy exagerado con sus movimientos y su expresividad a la hora de tocar, pero eso es solo mi punto de vista, no cabe duda de que ese tipo es muy bueno..

[remoturbo]

Increible ejecución de esta pieza tan difícil. Lamento no haber ido al concierto, mis amigos que fueron dijeron que ha sido uno de los mejores que han ido, debió haber sido fantástico. Illarinov sin duda entre los mejores.

[arash402003]

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE upload the rest!

[arash402003]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH kabemty!!

[jhg12989]

Dimitri plays so clear it is unbelievable!!! I heard him live in miami and he just left me in awe with this toccata. The 16th note counterpoint against the main motif of the piece is so clear. I do not know how he does it. The intervallic line after the introduction of the second motif has very well placed accents. I also love the bartok pizzicato that he added; it reminds me of Leo's Sonata. This is the best interpretation I have heard besides Alieksey!

[fickuz]

Please change name to Illarionov

[kabemty]

no soy kabemty, soy un amigo de el

[kabemty]

Sencillamente El Mejor!!!
