Marcin Dylla - Five Preludes by Heitor Villa Lobos [ACG Benefit Concert]

[@ArashAhmadiGuitar]

The legend has that the performer pays someone to cough so that the recital sounds legit and down to earth...

[@AnibalPacaco]

On the contrary. There's hardly something more annoying than a stupid member of the audience whose coughs ruin the precious recording of that concert --forever. There should be protecting guards to kick the offenders out!

[@darktengu77]

There is a recording of Rachmaninoff with a nice coughing fit in it. Odd that a century later that person is still heard by thousands of people. His boss, his teachers, his friends are now all eternally silent - but that man is now an immortal.

[@daniel.freinberger]

Thanks!

[@claudiaypaz]

In Prelude III the nuances, the extreme dynamics achieved are remarkable. In this concert Marcyn is demanding maximum response from the instrument - at times it feels like the strings will refuse to give what he is asking for and then he pulls back - t the dialogue is breathtaking.

[@JaxonBurn]

I’ve never heard the entire piece played through twice in one performance- does anyone know if that’s standard?

[@typhanieleng2709]

@@JaxonBurn it's standard. It's supposed to be played twice : D.C. al fine.

Astute observation

[@elisabou3683]

The only disappointing thing about this performance is the tiny audience. Dude deserves more people!

[@bluestripetiger]

It could be that the concert was an exclusive. A small intimate venue like that one with a world class performer---tickets could have been very expensive.

[@servetheglobe]

@ArwenMeow Indeed. Excellence is to be pursued. Success can be fleeting. Regardless, it is much more rewarding to be able to play music that will not be selling coffee or chips at a later date. Not financially rewarding at all times, but emotionally, spiritually, and psychologically rewarding, as you seem to know well. Cheers!

[@duckchorus]

Except, the smaller the audience size, the more intimate! But I know what you mean. His talent deserves a bigger following.

A great interpreter will give you insight into the composer's intention. A great musician will take you through the gamut of emotions that the guitar is capable and more. Marcin plays with such enigmatic energy here that the guitar seems to strain to equal the intensity and just when you think it can give no more, Marcin with the slightest of touch coos the guitar back to the purest of vibration. Each time I listen it seems I have reached a better understanding of why the guitar is such an incredible instrument. Thank you Marcin for your discipline and for stretching the possible.

[@genustinca5565]

He played the melodic part of prelude no 3 too harsh and too fast though.

[@garymelnyk7910]

Please listen to the Ukrainian master Roman Viazkovskiy play Prelude # 3. You may change your mind.

[@garymelnyk7910]

@@genustinca5565 Yes exactly. Roman Viazkovskiy (as my comment below) hears the “exact conception” of the composer and plays it accordingly.

[@nyanates]

#5 is arguably the most difficult and my favorite but all of them are a blast to play and are must-haves in every contemporary guitarists repertoire. I just love these pieces.

[@thadtuiol1717]

No such thing as 'must-haves'. It's all subjective.

[@secondario815]

I have to disagree, it is very beautiful but certainly not the most difficult, I would dare to say one of the simplest

[@KL3NCH]

Loads of examples of this (and I have played prelude number one for nearly fifty years now), but with its superb use of dynamics this is the best rendition I've encountered thus far.

[@ChristianWan]

Speechless. I can hear over and over again and still find new insights.

[@mikkonenyrjo]

Stunning! Never heard such touch and sensitivity on guitar, never! Absolutely unique!

[@soundknight]

I don't know... Segovia was just as sensitive and more powerful when rewired. But Segovia want as even in rhythm with his arpeggios but then again Segovia also breathed better... Preference I guess.

[@mikkonenyrjo]

Rose cannot be compared with jasmin. Both are stunning flowers with heavenly fragrance. Our world has room for all kind of flowers. But then there are also paper and plastic flowers which don't give fragrance. :)

A master of the classical guitar. Speaking of guitars - beautiful flamed maple body and a nice departure from the typical woods. A wonderful sparkle from the maple. Inspired me to get one.

[@slipkinti]

Me too. I want the name of the luthier who made this guitar.

[@TomoFromEarth]

@@slipkintiif I’m not mistaken it looks like it could be a Torres replica made by a German luthier named Wolfgang Jellinghaus. I have one of his guitars and he is known for his exquisite replicas. The rosette looks like his signature but, I could be wrong and it could just be that he is playing an actual Torres lol. Wether it is a replica or the real thing, this is a Torres guitar. You can tell by the decoration on the tailpiece.

Getting to real like his sweeping expressiveness and license with timing, which I think is what this music calls for. I like that there are a few flubs, which artists who take chances and really go for it always make. Fantastic performance. I'm sure the coughing was distracting.

[@ricardosalgado5761]

[@scottripley5764]

You're fake

[@ericmehlermusic]

Why would anyone cough from boredom? That's ridiculous. In my experience, people cough because they need to cough. Roughly the same reason as why they sneeze.

[@Foudzing]

it's because they say to themselves"oh fuck I must not cough" and they try to hold it but the more they think about it the most they get the urge to cough, so they hold it, they hold it until the infamous cough unleash. Someone should write a piece about this feeling..

[@lawrencetendler2342]

When people cough, it is because they are not enjoying the experience and feel uncomfortable.

[@MarkInLA]

I believe there is but one glitch. It's in #5 of all things (Approx 16:05) ! If that is all then it still leaves this man one of thee greatest C-G-ists of our life times !!

[@bluestripetiger]

What brand is his guitar? It seems a little smaller than most guitars i'm used to seeing-- (maybe it's just the camera angle?). Absolutely breathtaking performance. His fingers just seem to do ballet on the strings. His technique is remarkable--hours and hours of practice behind the scenes to prepare just for this performance. Not only does he have the mechanics down pat but he shows an incredible sensitivity to the quality and feel of the sound he is actually producing. Remarkable musicianship.

[@oceanair8]

I think it's a copy of the 1864 Torres by Daryl Perry.

[@이제희-k1g]

tremendous, truly god

[@fazergazer]

Such fluid yet incisive playing and that 2nd prelude...astounding. 3 is wonderfully declamatory. And the second appearance of the descending theme on the pedal point is wonderfully contrasted with its plaintive slide. Energy of 4 is great. Just wow! Very intelligent yet passionate. Lots of technique in reserve. Nice edges and risk taking. 5 is a wonderful conversation...not many players render that juxtaposition so eloquently. I have to say, one of the most memorable and satisfying performances, well integrated and replete with the character of Brazilian music forms.

[@thadtuiol1717]

Indeed. And speaking of Brazil, Laurindo Almeida's old recordings of these 5 preludes are still the gold standard for me, but this runs it a close second.

[@walterzielinski6654]

" ...a bit melodramatic at times." ??? To my mind, so energetically melodramatic that you want to jump into the screen and hold his head and body still. It 's impossible for me to watch his performances; to make them palatable I simply listen to the recitals. And what's with all the mouth puckering? Enough already! As for melodrama being " ...the trend of the modern players", well not all, fortunately. Among Dylla's contemporaries, I count Ana Vidovic's luminous virtuosity as being without peer, and there's never anything wrong in turning back the clock and listening to Pierri, Barrueco, Rodrigo or Segovia. Bravo to you Alan Dunsmuir, both for your critique--and your unrepentant defense of it versus His Pomposity, John McKinley-Ward. As for you dear john, stick this in your pocket and remember it when you feel that certain itch to condemn thoughtful commentary on these sites: as an Edwardian era Brit once put it, criticism is the poetry of life. Which is to say the overarching goal of critique is ultimately about cultivating and nurturing aspirations, not dumbing down them down. So Bravo! too, to Bad Mojo for: "There are so many ways to fail and so few to succeed criticism is invaluable, especially when it doesn't come from ego or virtue signalling." The very last thing we need today is more and more Political Correctness.

​@@steveb9325 "Lol" is a perfectly fine expression, used by everyone, regardless of consideration of age or social condition. I do not need to distinguish myself by using a peculiarly refined language while commenting KZbin videos. That would be quite a childish attitude.

[@yinnas_]

​@@steveb9325 I wasn't being insulting, I was just noticing one of these small blunders that are always surprising to see in the interpretation of great masters. Nothing immature in it ; your attitude of full reverence towards the Master, your excess of seriousness in the apprehension of music, is far more immature. Of course, I would make a lot more blunders, but that wouldn't be neither surprising nor funny as I am not a professional guitarist... Plus, I showed my admiration for his playing after the 'lol'. Take care too.

[@yinnas_]

@@steveb9325 lol

[@yinnas_]

@@steveb9325 Lol thanks for the 1 year late response. I was basically saying that music does not have to be taken too seriously. The immatureness is rather in your behaviour of excessive reverence than in mine, of sincere appreciation and kind derision. What Blaise Pascal says about philosophy - “To ridicule philosophy is really to philosophize.” - I would say it for arts and music.
