its not often you see a maple back and sides classical guitar played anymore i wonder who the maker is.

[Onosk]

The guitar was made by J. L. Romanillos in years 2003/2005 and named "La Culé", spruce top and maple back and ribs. It's not owned by Grondona, he is playing it just for this concert.

HOLY FUCK SUPER LEGATO

[libramoon2]

I like this.... he plays in a masculine way, serious and delightful.......wonderful to listen to and watch!!!

[ToXin88]

really good! Miguel Llobet's is my favorite version! does anybody know if there's a tab online?

[PGBustos]

Bravo!! Me encanta el arpegio inicial invertido de la transcripcion de Llovet!!!!

Imagine Rowan Atkinson being a smug git, and you have this bloke.

[vukstevanic]

very very very very niiiice!!!! i really like it!!!

[soniramsonitnatsnok]

this is indeed interestingly executed, however some details of the sound should be given more attention, since the result is far from perfection, and im sure with a guitar like this, with such a unique sound, those details can make a huge difference

[BardicCircle]

Damn i love this version

[insanmukmin1]

Super!

[escolavirtuose]

Parece um predeiro tocando violão... se tocasse a metade da pose que tem, seria o melhor do mundo...

Hi ONOSK, thank you for posting this video and giving info about his guitar. The sound is awesome. Stefano Grondona is a great artist.

[Gearoid2006]

I love Grondona, he is an amazing guitarist but I think this interpretation of Albeniz is a bit overwhelming and eccentric at parts. Torre's interpretation is absolutely stunning I have to say.

[jmlucca]

I think Grondono comes as close as anyone I've ever heard to Rey de la Torre's playing of this piece

[LAPUbutsekikMAG]

Jose Rey De La Torre made a recording of this piece. TO ALL GUITAR STUDENTS AFFICIONADOS, PLEASE GIVE AN OPEN MIND AND LISTEN TO 'his recordings' ALSO....

Jose Rey De La Torre is RIP,...Mercy on His Soul, succumbed to ADVANCED ARTHRITIS many, many years ago - Was a Miguel Llobett

student....

Felitaciones al guitarrista italiano más destacado de las últimas generaciones. Ojalá lo tengamos pronto en Venezuela. Saludos desde Latinoamerica.

dear maestro sorry for my english i have heared your torre bermeja and i am very glad whith your ejecución,I have put my ejecución ,that is not so well than your´s but it is intresting too thank´s Alejandro rivera

[vonjibbly]

Why not? All good artists bring something valid to their craft, whether they are the most familiar in their field or not. Agreed that Julian Bream and John Williams are absolute masters of the guitar, but that is not to say that others can't bring their own ideas/personality to bear on this music. Let there be no doubt; this guy is fantastic.

[geojones69]

nice lyrical playing

[sargijapunk]

Like all great players - he should not be compared ot anyone!

[libramoon2]

This is different, fascinating, he is a very special artist!!

[Mod74]

I agree in that I love JW"s version also, but this is Llobet's version and I believe he's trying to be faithful to that transcription.

[AlexM1979]

It is a Romanillos
