Your right. Its a phenomenon thats been around for years. People don't know how to listen. Im a professional guitarist. Whenever I come across a new piece I close my eyes and listen to it. Most people watch and listen. Music is foremost an aural concept. Visual does not come into it. This will piss many people off but concerts can be a distraction if you want to appreciate the music. We get so caught up in the whole experience because thats what we are told you do. It wont change though. People have forgotten how to listen.

I just had a vision of him playing in front of Andres Segovia at one of his Master Classes which I was fortunate enough to see the Maestro teaching in New York . Yamashita would have lasted less than a minute before Segovia dismissed him . He’s not holding the guitar properly . He moves it all over the place plus he’s emotive and his face shows it all forbidden by Segovia . Personally, I don’t care if he plays on his head . He’s a great musician who possesses a Paganini like technique and is exceedingly expressive . He’s is a very underrated guitarist because of the above . In my mind , he may be the best guitarist of this century .

I just must add something. He's idiosyncratic. He holds his guitar differently and moves it in subtle ways that modify the sound, and it looks like he utterly invented his own technique of playing this instrument. I don't know, maybe he borrowed techniques from Japanese Samisen or Koto playing? but it sounds absolutely amazing, and beautiful. There's some thing Japanese over the whole rendering, like... there's no person behind the music. just music.
@antoncigur37273 жыл бұрын
Also the way he picks the strings in different spots, going close to the bridge for a brighter sound, and a mellower going up to the sound hole. We are tought to add these dynamics in playing pieces, but he seems to use litterally every inch/cm of the string to bring out so many different tones. As usual Yamashita brought the thing to another level.

I agree with you this time, Motti! Aren’t you relieved, lol. It really is incredible, isn’t it, how he seems to have left no stone unturned, no orthodoxy unexamined. And I totally agree, the music just seems to be there in the world. I see him working hard but the music is just free of all that. I am experimenting with listening to him with closed eyes, and it is very different - I am clearly bringing ideas and thoughts from seeing into my hearing and missing a lot of dimensions. Though, wow, so many dimensions! Of course it is easy to become disoriented!

Mr Yamashita is an accomplished guitarist with good technical proficiency, but his exaggerated body language, or body tremor, is an a display of anxiety to come through with musicality, that’s where he fails to achieve the bench mark of excellence and the artistry of perform arts. Playing fast and hard is not the only measure of judging how good the performer is! He needs to study phrase by phrase and understand the music beyond the written notes, and present the music within.

I saw Kazuhito Yamashita in Vancouver about 1989 I believe. He performed his iconic Pictures at an Exhibition, and New World Symphony. I was a guitar student at the time, and was blown away. About that time the critics of the classical guitar world panned him for sacrificing tone for blinding technique. However I knew I would never reach the technical mastery I saw him perform that evening. A night to remember.

I was at that concert and really enjoyed his musicality and command. My only criticism was that it was for a Recital Society audience that was used to musicians from the larger classical music community (pianists, string soloists etc.), quite a few in the audience were not impressed by the idea of the New World Symphony on solo guitar, more than a few actually walked out. Great recital but bad image for the guitar in the larger classical music world.
