WOW! What a stellar performance, just mind-blowing... The magic is indeed in the hands.

[@snowfiresunwind]

Love it - everything about this performance is great. Saro is a guitarist to keep an eye (and ear) on for sure!

[@isfet5149]

Nice. Reminds me of Barrios, and Villa- Lobos.

[@projectifier]

Honestly i was listen to John Williams' version of this song and i came right back to this recording, there is no sense of hesitation, and the phrasing are all perfect.

[@marcelogodoy9564]

Bravo ! ! !

[@hugosveruga1209]

Bellísima obra y mejor interpretación!!!!

[@christopherspence9412]

His tone is so balanced with bouncy bass and crisp separation. Phrasing is light yet energetic, great performance!

[@SomeGuy-ws5zj]

very good choice! excelente!

[@mnrrrr723]

It gives me Lilo and Stich vibe, makes me feel so happy

[@cristophercarrillo3033]

Wow!

Venezuela's sound

[@leonardoviloria7506]

En la segunda parte de este vals hay una corrección de una nota en la melodía, creo que tres o cuatro compases antes del final de esta parte el arpegio es: La bajo al aire, Fa sostenido y re en la cuarta y segunda cuerda respectivamente en acorde, y la nota Si en el 7mo traste (por error tipográfico escribieron La) esta nota Si, es negra con puntillo, lo demás sigue igual. Esta corrección fue hecha por el mismo maestro Antonio Lauro. Lamentablemente, la partitura salió al mundo con este error y así es tocada, pero valga esto para hacer la corrección o salvedad.

[@leonardoviloria7506]

En este link, pueden corroborar lo que dije acerca de la corrección, con una presentación grabada en vivo por el Maestro Antonio Lauro kzbin.info/www/bejne/i56oZHenir1qgsU

Beautiful piece, has some little interjections of Ragtime. The guitar back is the most gorgeous woodwork I’ve ever seen on a guitar!

[@raffitorossian6432]

in this video, everything is excellent.....virtuosity....technic....nuance.......everything is superb.....excellent guitarist...!

[@GuitarSVD]

A very beautiful guitar with excellent balance and articulation. Amazing play too! ❤

[@fender89s]

This dude his playing is superb and I need him to move to Las Vegas so just incase they ever open back the Cosmopolitan's Buffet "The Wicked Spoon" I could sure use this man's guitar playing while eat there insane fucking deserts!! Fuck Yeah man you sound great and you have an epic beard/hair style it's almost like the mullet kinda like business in the front but hey I party too ladies that's in the back!! Thank you Saro Babikian!! Greatness in you and upon your journey in your life!!

[@MichaelBemmels]

Bravo! What a virtuosic and energetic performance. Wonderful clear sound out of the guitar too

[@carlosquintero6677]

Excelente interpretación, la musicalidad y la limpieza de la técnica, muy bella interpretación, te lo comenta un venezolano, que conoce muy las obras del maestro, bravo

[@kanengiser]

Bravo, Saro! Made me feel like dancing...

[@jeannouelvanleeuwen]

Well played! I love spruce top guitars!

[@OGStinkywizzleteats]

The back of that guitar is insane!

[@fazergazer]

I had now idea such music existed. Now in my dreams forever.

[@duaneadam]

Beautiful performance! I hope to one day own a guitar like this.

[@pedro290860]

Excelente interpretación, creo que el maestro Lauro diría "así era, así" !

[@soundhealer6043]

Excellente.

[@AlaneCristina1]

👏👏👏👏😍

[@cristophercarrillo3033]

Wow!

[@FVDaudio]

Gracias ✨

[@dexblue]

Dex Quire here, Officer of the World Wide CosmoDemonic Classical Guitar Police (WWCDCGP), I'm citing you for playing this lovely piece too fast; here's your ticket. You can 1) pay the fine; 2) Do another KZbin at a slower tempo; 3) Take up flamenco guitar; 4) Go dancing with William Kanengiser - but remember: this song is a waltz!

This piece takes me back to when I had to sit for my A.T.C.L guitar recital by correspondence through trinity school of music. There was never a more nervous moment in all my life than sitting in front of an examiner. I was a ball of nerves and my nerves overcame me especially after I heard the skill level of the young Asian boy who played before myself. He was brilliant just like this man here. I was 17 the boy was 11. I was so dismayed after he played I blew my entire recital and only ended scoring a 29 out of 100. Sir you are truly gifted and I loved listening to you play.

[@cristinamarquez2600]

Hermosa Interpretación!!! Felicidades!!! Cris y Juan 🌹

[@josemolina959]

Outstanding! Beautiful! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎼🎶🎵🎵🎶🎼

[@hqs9585]

Amazing performance!!!

[@Codename-B]

He is a big big fellow.

[@jbatlanta]

Souless. Typical classical (too hard) too technically burdened. Boring.

[@jbatlanta]

@Snoozer Vine Andrew York, or Stevie Ray Vaughn.

[@jbatlanta]

@Snoozer Vine I actually play classical guitar Snoozie...own a beautiful David Daily. And i don't care what you meant. The guy is dull, boring and too focused on the notes and technique. It's why people fall asleep listening to classical guitarists. Maybe that's why you're a Snoozie? Do you even know who Andy York is?

[@jbatlanta]

@Snoozer Vine The concept you are missing...is music worth listening to. Continue to attend concerts where most of the audience have long nails on their right hand, and the rest are asleep. But, you are being SO cool...because you "understand" it.

[@jbatlanta]

@Snoozer Vine i don't.
