[Sebitas24]

I dont know what I would do if this video is ever taken down from Youtube.

Just amazing,

Best regards from Costa Rica

@Sebitas24

thanks. glad you liked it.

[alican1923]

I reckon this recording not only to be the most beautiful rendition of this piece but also one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Thank you very much.

[CarolyneMas]

I come back here to listen to this often...it is so very beautiful...thank you.

[troubleclef]

@CarolyneMas

thanks, Carolyne

This has been my favorite piece of music since I heard Klaus Nomi's version of it at the end of "Urgh, A Music War". This has to be the best I've heard yet. Btw, Ive been playing guitar by ear for 30 years and thought I was pretty good, but watching this is humbling.

[2011MrsNorris]

Wonderful!



[freescorepaul]

Your by-ear arrangements are always beautifully faithful to the nuances of the original. This one is no exception. Jackie Wilson sang the tune in 1960, with the words: "Night, here comes the night...." Thanks for yet another extremely enjoyable listening experience. All the best!

@freescorepaul

thanks. really? i haven't heard that. i'm tracking it down right away. thanks for the info.

[jesoby]

excellent

[troubleclef]

@jesoby

thanks!

[jessaamur]

hahaha, I just read the description. Sorry for being an idiot. Guess I'm gonna have to give you an extra 150 views or so from just sitting here trying to learn it.

[troubleclef]

@jessaamur

:D no problem. thanks. glad you liked it.

[jessaamur]

i was really curious how a guitar version would sound, after hearing a cello and of course the inimitable shirley verrett. this is fantastic, really well done. any chance of a tab or sheet music or anything? would love to impress a mezzo friend of mine with this.

[smilinjack11]

This is a terrific franscription and soulfully performed! A nice addition to the guitar repertoire as I don't think I've heard it done as a guitar solo. A new post from you, sir, always makes me stop and listen, knowing my day will be enriched. Thank you.

[carvetop01]

Bravo Tony. You have an excellent ear. Sensitive performance. How does one fix audio blemishes? I have several I would like to expunge.

[drockmuthafucka]

Bravo!

[jongleurz]

yes! you play and breath as a singer. The aria lives even without a voice. Great work.

[51diogenes]

This is absolutely gorgeous - phrasing, voicing everything.

Another reason to listen to opera: So many gems to discover before we hit the box!

Kudos on you rendering it as a beautiful guitar solo, and thanks for the fantastic performance!

[troubleclef]

@51diogenes

thanks!

[tatypalmi]

Excelente.



[Richgoddamnit]

I've watched alot of videos and it's an impressive number of more and less complicated songs that you've learned.

I'm every now and then reminded by TV, radio and YouTube of songs that I had forgot that I could play. It's a shame but I guess you can't remember them all, at least I can't.

My question is, do you ever get back to most of your songs or do you just feel like learning a song, upload it to YouTube, play it for a few weeks or months and then just let it go and never play it again?

[troubleclef]

@Richgoddamnit

I do have to re-learn things after a while. It's a lot easier if i've already filmed a version of it though, as opposed to starting over again with the original. but for the most part, i just film and forget. thanks!

[frankg3rd]

The greatest guitar player on this planet !!!! I hope you one day are compensated for your skills !!!!!!!

[kenkarsh]

Very nice. My mother was an opera singer and used to sing this. Wonderful arrangement.

Who could resist to this beautiful song? I can't. Thanks again Tony for sharing your talent with us.

[MusettaLeMure]

This was so beautiful and relaxing. You make playing the guitar look so easy! I'm so glad that I found you on You tube. The passion you have for music, can be felt in every note and across the miles. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[troubleclef]

@MusettaLeMure

I'm glad you found my channel, too. thanks!

[6672rock]

Was the intonation harder to maintain with the slack tuning?

[ferbrm]

Que beleza de interpretação, uma música de difícil execução para o violão, dada a sustentabilidade necessária nas notas. Me arrrepiei meu, parabéns!!!!

[GianculaT]

MERAVIGLIOSO. AVVINCENTE . STORICO.

[feracat07]

[zardozfrance]

Mon cœur s'ouvre à ta voix comme s'ouvrent les fleurs Aux baisers de l'aurore! Mais, ô mon bien-aimé, pour mieux sécher mes pleurs, Que ta voix parle encore! Dis-moi qu'à Dalila tu reviens pour jamais! Redis à ma tendresse Les serments d'autrefois, ces serments que j'aimais! Ah! réponds à ma tendresse! Verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse! ******************************­************************* Merci Tony, c'est fantastique!

[terrierbw1]

@zardozfrance French to English translation

My heart opens to your voice as the flowers open to the kisses of the morning! But, O my beloved, for better dry my tears, Let your voice speak again! Tell me that you come back forever Delilah! Repeat to my tenderness The oaths of the past, these oaths that I loved! Ah! respond to my tenderness! Pour me, pour me drunk! ******************************­******************** ***** Thank you Tony, it's fantastic!

[noonblueapples]

Great cover, mate. I enjoy this piece when sung and think your transcription for guitar is beautiful. Keep it up.

[joemkonjibh]

Outstanding. O__O

[ennajaymik]

thank you so much for the beautiful sounds. and thanks to saint-saens, of course haha.

[onlikedk]

wow. im already on a st saens kick right now and this is beautiful. even my dad who doesn't listen to classical loved this. amazing.

[troubleclef]

@onlikedk

thanks. yeah, great composer. not familiar with very much of his music, but like what i've heard.

[PB11784]

Et nos coeurs sont ouverts par votre guitare. Merci. This is my new favorite. Love it.

[troubleclef]

@PB11784

thanks. I appreciate it. merci!

[hrmerr]

Really enjoyable. My fingers ache from watching you stretch yours!

[metallic219]

amazing as always!

[mikidou99]

I discovered this amazign piece because of Muse's "cover" of it.

So i really enjoyed this!! :D

[troubleclef]

@mikidou99

I only know Muse from the ripping version of Nina Simone's "Feeling Good" that was used on a sexy Virgin Atlantic Airlines ad. :D Now I want to hear them do this. Is there a youtube version?

[daregularperson]

@troubleclef Yes, it's on YouTube. You can search for "Mon Coeur...", but it's coupled with a song called "I Belong To You." I'd be interested to hear what you think of it. :-)

Nice job on the guitar! You have mastered that thing!

[BennyBlanc0FTB]

@troubleclef watch?v=Owb3do6ckVc

[mikidou99]

@troubleclef Sure :)

The precise name is : Muse - I Belong To You / Mon Cœur S'ouvre À Ta Voix

You can find it a lot on you tube :)

Mon coeur s'ouvre à ta voix is in the middle of the song, they only do 2 minutes of it but it fits in really well.

[troubleclef]

@mikidou99

It's interesting. I like the outer song as well. Pretty cool.

[rerun04]

@troubleclef

youtube.com/watch?v=IgH7XF_l-V­E

The "Mon Coeur S'Ouvre A Ta Voix"-part starts at around 2:15

[amaranthangel1]

@troubleclef

this is fantastic! Great playing! And yes, Muse's cover is called "I belong to you (+ Mon Coeur S'Ouvre A Ta Viox") I LOVE Muse - this was FANTASTIC live!

[juno828]

Just Beautiful.......

[kidderminsterbro]

hey tc

when you write "learned by ear" it just boggles my ears

and mind how much work and talent goes into doing that

all these singers have sung this but you don't hear

guitar players playing both the singer and the orchestra

at the same time.

bravo to you tony

peace,rich

[troubleclef]

@kidderminsterbro

there are a number of solo versions out there, but i haven't heard any guitar ones...yet. thanks

[3rdEyeVision]

@kidderminsterbro lol i thought that was a poem

[NoDeity]

Very beautiful.

[geshnika]

beautiful! can you please make a version of "balada para un loco" (By Piazzola).

[troubleclef]

@geshnika

thanks. I don't know the Piazzola piece. i'll have to check it out.

[benabb]
