Craig Lake plays Cordoba by Isaac Albeniz on Classical Guitar | Siccas Media

[@johndobson1899]

It’s a very difficult piece very well played and after practicing to get to such a point you deserve a good malt Craig

I second that, a beer for Craig

[@JoseOchoa-dw9vk]

I’ll take a double of Middleton neat.

Thanks for posting this Siccas Media and thanks to all the positive comments!

[@philipershler420]

Absolutely beautiful! Your exquisite control of the strings is amazing. What a wonderful six minutes.

[@kathyhollenbach7413]

This is beautifully played; a difficult piece, well-executed.👏👏👏👏👏

[@whyteian]

The sound of the Simon Marty guitar is exquisite, as is Craig Lake's performance! Thank you for posting.

[@9guitarman]

Well played Mr Lake. Very expressive. Admire you memorising the whole piece. Thank you for your post. From Ted

[@niceguitar6144]

What a beautiful piece, and very well played too. Albeniz was a master of weaving a beautiful melody in his music. In this case, the most beautiful melody is found in the middle passage when Cordoba changes from D minor to a more major mood and key of course. There are beautiful melodies throughout, but to me that one stands out.

Su versión es muy buena. Felicidades. 👍🎵

[@martinmustar8656]

Lovely! Is this Llobet's arrangement?

[@craigalake]

This is William’s arrangement with some elements borrowed from Bream but the (usually) rasgueado section is inspired by Rodrigo. In particular the cadenza from Aranjuez.

Thank you ❤️

I can't find it on the description..?

[@niceguitar6144]

This is one of those times when the music and the guitarist is featured, not necessarily the guitar. Most videos are in fact of guitars that are for sale, but they are the occasional ones where the point is the guitarist and the music. However, I understand the curiosity. I always want to know what guitar any guitarist is playing.

Simon Marty

[@niceguitar6144]

@@craigalake and you play it very very well. Congratulations. He makes lattice braised, and traditional guitars. He is an Excellent maker from Australia. I know you know that, it’s just for the others I guess:)

[@craigalake]

@@niceguitar6144 Hi! They definitely have a more traditional sound with a wider range of colours than most modern guitars (in my opinion) but also are extremely loud. But I feel I need to add, actually Marty doesn’t make lattice braced or traditional guitars. There is only one bracing style I’m aware of that Marty uses. They’re a radial braced guitar and the sound board is much thicker than a lattice guitar. He does use carbon fibre bracing but they’re VERY different to a lattice. I adore them!

[@niceguitar6144]

@@craigalake thank you. I was not well informed apparently. I have seen vids of Marty guitars at a French store, and i could swear that the guy said: we have a traditionally braced Marty, and a lattice braced Marty today, let’s compare the sound. That’s why we shouldn’t swear:) thanks again for the info. I am surprised to see that concert guitarists like you clearly tend to stay away from traditional guitars. A Santos Hernandez for example, what incredible, charming sweet old sound! A matter of personal taste i suppose.

What Luthier made this guitar?

[@SiccasGuitars]

This is a Simon Marty guitar

[@steveb9325]

@SiccasGuitars thank you! Pls start placing names of Luthiers in your description again like Sicca guitars "always," use to. Thank you!

[@jaungiga]

@@steveb9325 I think they only mention the luthier if they're selling the guitar themselves and that's why the videos of the Siccas Media series (in which the player uses whatever guitar they want) don't mention the builders

[@JoeKool5738]

​@@SiccasGuitars beautiful guitar❤️😎

[@JoeKool5738]

​@@jaungiga Without Siccas we would not see these performances. Someone asked and they answered. They need to pay their bills, too!
