Bravo! Keeping Renbourn's tunes alive!

[@jimmyolsenschannel6263]

This is astonishing, just completely amazing. It even brings tears to my eyes. Clive Caroll adds a Classical sensibility to Renbourn's compositions, which the master himself, in all honesty, often had a tendency to play a little too fast, almost as if he were deliberately trying to evade self-seriousness. This approach, of course, went hand in hand with his humourous, often ironic and even self-deprecating banter between songs in a 'live' setting, but really his self-penned material was of the highest imaginable standard. Carroll brings out the true potential of Renbourn's compositions here and shows us they were even deeper and stronger than we thought they were. And then I say no more.

You said it beautifully, and having just come off of a live performance here in California, I completely concur.

John Renbourn was a truly magnificent composer. His pieces "Water Gypsy", "Luke's Little Summer" "The Pelican" are works of genius and his arrangement of "The Mist Covered Mountains of Home" is as good as any of the classical Guitar standards.

An exquisite rendition of Lady Goes to Church. Renbourn approved without a doubt.

I have never heard such a beautiful rendition of “Lady Goes To Church”: fabulous! Thank you so much Clive.

Thank you Clive for this stunning tribute to John - you truly do justice to his magnificent compositions ...

I've been trying to learn this for years. I think its more my attention span thats stopping me rather than the technical difficulty, although it obviously very complicated

A graceful and elegant tribute to one of greatest guitarist to play the instrument. LGC in Bm no less. Fantastic .

[@inclinethineearmusic2732]

Interesting that here Lady Goes to Church is being played in the 2nd position Bm shape instead of the open Am shape that Renbourn used. Also in standard rather than Renbourn's Drop D. Would love to see the tab for this. This approach may pay dividends.

Brilliant.

Fabulous renditions Clive and excellent recording too! 'lady goes to church' one of my favs.

[@jojojam6012]

I would strive - to be like Clive!

Exquisite X :-)

[@Bernd_Boeckmann]

Fantastisch! Ganz großartig!

[@fastidioussloth6013]

The first phrase of the 2nd beautiful piece 'Lady Goes to Church' 4:11 is from Guillaume de Machaut (c. 1300 - 1377) 'Puisqu'en oubli suis de vous, dous amis', but it grows into something almost completely very different: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnOnlHt7o76Cf7c
