I know I'm using extreme amounts of rubato (it's meant to be an homage to Bach and except for the note/chord at the end of each section, it's written as straight semi-quavers with no tempo markings), but I just "feel it" this way. I suppose I could also argue that if a performer can pull around the dynamics (there are just two dynamic markings in my copy of this piece), why not the tempo too?

  • Great job! Different interpretation for sure. I am a huge Barrios fan and I enjoyed your performance.

  • Thanks!

  • Just splendid 5 stars !

  • Cheers!

  • 500 Stars from me, absolutely beautifull played. The best i ve ever heared full of passion. In this case rubato is very nice but... rubato has nothing to do with bach, in bach time there was no rubato came after his death, rubato is a typical form of expression for romantic time and pieces from this time, so barrios is romantic and it is very very beautifull! Great!

  • Thanks!

    Yeah, it's precisely because rubato wasn't "invented" before/during Bach's time and because every other performance I've heard is in tempo that I was quite nervous to play it like this. So thanks for the thumbs up!

  • You can play, ill give you that, but I didn't like the interpretation at all!

  • Very intense and expressive interpretation. Barrios music is not easy to play. The technical recording is great too.Thank you for posting.

  • Your interpretation brings out some new beauty in the piece that goes well with the unique tempo. Well Done!  Earl Ledden

  • Very very nice!! You did it very well. I heard your performance and was impressed very much. (TS)

  • Very expressive. The tempo is a bit too slow for my taste, and your reading is far more romantic than neo-baroque, but that's the beauty of music...it can take on so many interpretations.

  • Muy bien!! Excelnte interpretación!!!!!!

  • intense is the word...miles different to my reading of the piece, but i like!

  • VERY INTENSE!!
