Celil Refik Kaya - Valses Poeticos (2015 Kenneth Brogger)

[@scottripley5764]

Welp, here I am, 4 years since my last comment and still listening to this stunning performance. Clearly the best rendition I've ever heard.

[@sweettooth2708]

As a pianist I can barely imagine how difficult that is!!

[@juanjesusgomezalarcon8224]

The way his fingers are almost always 90° against the fretboard, and how he arranges pieces to match his incredible playing style is amazing. So pianistic, such an amazing control of the instrument. One of the best.

[@kiekiek]

The best!

[@vigilescalera]

La limpieza, y precisión con que Celil interpreta estos Valses de Granados es impresionante, pero, para mi, aún lo es más la musicalidad que despliega en cada pieza. Enrique Granados estaría mu orgulloso y feliz de escuchar esta versión en guitarra de su música para piano.

[@franciscowalker5104]

I have been playing guitar and later buying videos, Cassettes, CDs...for more that 30 years...I have never see someone with such a mastery and good taste to play guitar...Celil, along with Williams, Vidovic, Barrueco, Assad, Beam, Villadango, Bianco and many others (but above them all) is the very best, in my humble opinion.

[@kbraud52]

WOW, what a wonderful compliment! I and others have to agree with you! He's a real treasure at the New Jersey City University...

[@yannhk]

I’m leaving a comment here so that when people like my comment, it reminds me to come back and watch this wonderful performance again 😊

[@SeleneJawad]

Well, this is what makes you love the guitar.

[@stuur238]

Spot on. I fell for the guitar, exactly for this sound, sweet and intimate. Balm for the senses.

[@JoachimVHW]

Incredible mix of technique and musicality

[@joelstauffer1950]

The new breed of guitar masters are taking the instrument to new heights...the guitar sounds superb...BRAVO, sir!

[@larsfrandsen2501]

Joel S. Henderson Exactly!

[@jadehamblyn3244]

I agree

[@laviniacapogna4]

I played Classical guitar for 20 years and I say he is a genius. Perfect exhibition emotionally and technically.

[@fredericklebel9431]

I completely agree

[@nickrobinson2023]

if this exhibition of virtuosity leaves you indifferent, you are ether deaf or dead... Wow! I feel like I've been hit my a sledge hammer.... This guy is for real. This Torres in the hands of this player just springs to life and blooms. Thanks for posting.

[@MostlyIC]

OMG, this is totally awesome. I've been listening to the piano version of this set of pieces and didn't realize until recently that anyone had arranged them for guitar, I could not have imagined it was even possible, I was stunned that anyone could do it, and even more stunned hearing Celil's, his is the best, absolute perfection, and watching his fingering I still can barely believe what I'm seeing.

[@MrMjp58]

A clear, fluent, imaginative performance. Technique and creative arranging at the highest level. A fantastic player and beautiful guitar.

[@Larry30102]

I couldn’t stop watching this…the playing…so masterful. This has to be one the best classical guitar videos. Besides the virtuosic playing the production was also top notch. Thanks so much for a great video.

[@asinine.asinine]

This video, this musician is something else. Celil, you may never receive the appreciation you deserve as a musician, but this video is a demonstration of a level of talent that will never be matched. I am blown away by this, I feel privileged to view it in 1080p and if I could ever view it in person, I would be the luckiest man alive. As a classical guitarist, you inspire me, I will purchase this arrangement in the morning and if I ever play half as well as this, I will be content. All the best. Felix

[@tasosdiaforetico7377]

That's great love too know how he teachers U on regards too technical aspects his amazing

[@supremetaco5349]

Hey man! I know this is quite a bit late, but what arrangement is this if you know? I'm trying to find where I can learn this.

[@Wizahh]

@@supremetaco5349 This is Celil's arrangement, which is available for purchase on his website.

[@Th3Alfisti]

Great arrangement, I would say me some parts to fast, but Celil is for sure a great word level guitarist

[@rodericksibelius8472]

I've listened to John Williams for many years on this piece here on KZbin, now this one as well in a different color. Bravo!!!

[@1cleandude]

My mind and heart will not allow me to try and find fault with this. The Brogger creation is beautiful on its own. Mr. Granados' composition a master's work. All brought wonderfully together via Mr. Kaya's masterful articulation. Simply put; superb!!!!

[@MrIbgrant]

Yes. Superb playing on a rich guitar.

[@edwilliams9914]

I put this on for some background while I work, and I'm not getting anything done! Keep having to stop and marvel at this fantastic performance. I've heard the Valses so many times that I expected "pleasantry but no surprises" but the crispness and fluidity and phrasing keep making never-before-heard elements jump out. Bravo!!!

[@alkssmith9762]

No words, just pleasure

[@lordj399]

I cried. LETS LEAVE IT AT THAT

[@rodericksibelius8472]

So effective, economy of motion, his fingers are disciplined... BRAVO.

[@robertbuford507]

Total package, Celil is one of the best in the world. Straight up.

[@neilmacdonald6637]

In a world osaturated with amazing classical guitarists, he is one of the best alive, and this video, when considered with others....makes me feel he is the best

[@julkitan3017]

My new favourite guitar player, each note is exquisite! and those new-vintage style guitars... oh my!

[@fierybones]

For sure, that's the most beauty I'll experience today. Thank you!

[@ldhs1000]

Un músico pasa toda su vida estudiando y tocando para perfeccionar su trabajo para que el auditorio pase solo unos momentos "oyendolo" y a veces criticado su esfuerzo... Celil es un virtuoso contemporáneo.

[@moniqueledermann1355]

...it doesn't get much better than that....wonderful playing and superb guitar...bravo to a great guitarist :)

[@ariehandoko6806]

This guitarist truly one of the best in the world! 👍👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@stuur238]

What a incredibly bautiful guitar this is! It is absolutely lovely.

[@luscao8444]

Oh my god, this was amazing...i have no words for this piece and Celil! ❤️

[@Antonpreis]

Very impressive playing skills, very good expression too. Well done indeed.

[@CarlitosMayo]

This is my favorite classical guitarist.

[@RicardoMartinez-kr5qk]

The vivace molto is my favorite, the pace with which its played here is correct and far superior that some recordings I've heard of some of the greatest. Hats off Cecil!

[@Mambosalome]

A masterful performance and interpretation. Bravo.

[@lecristoph]

The sound of this guitar totally blew me away. Incredible nuances and tone.

[@scottripley5764]

Such perfect fluidity. So flawless.

[@J-Dizzle95]

Right away I thought it might be too fast But as I listened it just blew me away Absolutely impressive and a truly enjoyable listen! Valses poeticos in a way I have never examined before! Thank you :')

[@HalJikaKick]

Miraculous interpretation.

[@bulentozkok5780]

Bravo Celil be... Buralara gelmeni, seni tanıdığımız yedi yaşından bu yana Adnan amcanla birlikte hep arzu ettik. Yolun açık olsun...

[@davehshs651]

Outstanding, beautiful playing. This is one of the loveliest, most resonant guitars I've heard online.

[@padovanov]

grande artista davvero ! non lo conoscevo ancora ; suono perfetto ritmo perfetto, musicalità eccellente. Bravo, che fortuna sentirti

[@keat2869]

Very nice outstanding tone . Expresivo ..bravo..

[@TomerBusidan]

Absolutely incredible

[@LTCJWE]

If one could define genius as making the difficult look easy.....Kaya is genius. Not to mention technique, interpretation, feeling. Hes incredible.

[@micktulk]

What a Maestro is Celil. He is something of a hidden treasure. I recommend his tour de force collection of of Barrios` masterworks. Great guitar there too !!!

[@emmettedwards9782]

What a performance! Outside of the obvious technical wizardry, it’s just so so musical. A joy to listen to

[@pradeepnoronha]

Wow my favorite piece and such a virtuoso!

[@klippdachs]

What a great artist! Thanks for posting.

[@paulking2919]

Wonderful performance of this most beautiful piece.

[@bendameron9922]

Great guitar... the best sound I've heard out of all these GSI videos... and stellar playing.

[@berkuskent]

Very nice arrangement and played clean enough as much as it could be. Tebrikler Refik kardeş, başarılarının yurt dışında her daim devamını diliyorum. Bu alanda sanatçımız çok az maalesef.

[@excitexcite]

The best perfomance I`ve ever heard

[@hideare]

You should also listen Julian Bream. I wonder if your opinion would change?

[@viarnay]

Kyuhee Park is better

[@suntzu1233]

​@@viarnayis not?....

[@marceloh.cazabat9820]

Magnífico, una de las mejores versiones que he escuchado. Realmente no entiendo los votos negativos. ¡Felicitaciones!

[@b0ards952]

Bruh the pop who disliked the video are the ones who don’t like the guitar. For real keep up the good work my man

[@f_t_be]

Whoever dislikes this, should go see a doctor and get his ears and brain checked. What a beautiful, fluent, great and effortless performance of these pieces!!

[@37mada4972]

Magnifique ! Quel son et quelle virtuosité !

[@gurerguncan]

I wish I could like this video a hundred times more

[@larsfrandsen2501]

Magnificent!

[@curaticac5391]

Very beautiful. A lot of excellent Turkish performers over the years.

[@BaroqueViolin]

Masterful! Thank you so much!

[@republiccooper]

This is really, really, really beautiful. I believe the guitar transcription surpasses the original for piano solo.

[@snowfiresunwind]

never thought i would say it but this performance is on a par with Bream - wonderful stuff

[@snowfiresunwind]

peterjordan16910 yes i agree about Bream's dynamics (as I myself noted on the Guiterra video of this piece) without a doubt Bream is one of the finest musicians of the 20th century but credit where credit is due Kaya is certainly a guitarist to watch out for based on this performance.

[@larsfrandsen2501]

peterjordan16910 Well, luckily we now have both Bream’s wonderful recording and this one (along with a couple of other ones) that we can enjoy and be inspired.

[@The1Boone]

Fantastic playing! Bravo!

[@martinlawn]

Another gifted musician from God.

[@Michajeru]

Very, very beautifully played.

[@glennwilliams8861]

Missed your performance at Roundtop- truly one of my costly mistakes. No one plays Valses Poeticos better. Best of Luck.

[@jamma246]

Beautiful.

[@georgesmith7671]

Beautiful , Very Enjoyable

[@peterluth]

Nice guitar, and what a performance for poetical waltz. Love how it sound, musical!
