Elena Papandreou plays Roland Dyens' Tango en Skaï in Athens

[@vassilisbenopoulos370]

I identify with the lady in the back shaking her head in disbelief

[@akoaykilalamo]

2:34 dear lord that pause 🙌

[@greekflatpicker]

Crystal clear and passionate playing some of the best (if not the best)interpretation of the original I’ve heard. Bravo!!! 👏👏👏

[@elenapapandreouguitar]

Thank you so much!

[@josemorgado356]

The faces of those musicians in the back say it all.

[@moosic5701]

100% the best I've heard

[@elenapapandreouguitar]

thank you!

[@yaakovhassoun8965]

paola hermosin plays it much better (not meant to be insulting), the rasquedos are played in the wrong way, it just sounds odd to me

[@moosic5701]

@yaakovhassoun8965 not even close for me, Paula's version sounds rushed with 0 dynamics. Super basic, bland, in my opinion. Park kyu hee's version is way better, on par with this one as well.

[@sunRise_sunset_here]

A whole new level of composition involving different possible textures of guitar's sound as well as divine performance. That speed combined with accuracy, gosh

[@Nobodyinthebigworld]

what the hell! amazing

[@elenapapandreouguitar]

what the hell! You made me laugh! Thank you!

[@AishwaryaPradhan42]

This is so beautiful, as soon as I heard it on Spotify (and played it on repeat twice) I had to search for the live performance! I don't know much about music but this was full of emotion and a real pleasure to listen to ♡

[@elenapapandreouguitar]

Thank you!

@@elenapapandreouguitar Ciao Elena, The first time I heard your cd-recording of this piece it made me yell Yes! Nobody seemed to be able to get that "ound-cloud" passage right. Have you considered recording Dyens' concerto in the studio?

[@elenapapandreouguitar]

@@theodoor12 hello. I am happy that you liked it! I have played Concerto Mètis a few times and hopefully will play it again because it is one of the best guitar concertos, but there are no plans to record it on CD I am afraid.

[@mullerdenis7422]

Très beau en effet... J'ai naivement cru que je parviendrai à jouer cette pièce...::::EXTRÊMEMENT DIFFICILE.....!!!! Je me contente (avec plaisir) de l'écouter....Merci Mr. DYENS..... À qui personne n'a rendu hommage....

[@karinapc4863]

Hi, Elena. You make me feel so positive about my life, when I hear you playing guitar, I know I want to be someday like you. Recently I can say, I was born again, because I was so sick, and I was afraid of death. Hearing you I could take happiness and confirm that I want to live just for music. Someday, I want to be like you ❤️

[@elenapapandreouguitar]

Hello (well, I do not know if Kars Kars is your name, probably not exactly) I am so impressed by your message. I wanted to ask you more about what happened to you, but not here in public of course. If you wish, send me a private message on messenger to facebook.com/Elena.Papandreou.2014 I hope your health is good now and I am moved if I had helped towards bettering it in any way. Keep strong! Elena

[@karinapc4863]

Hi Elena! I'm very grateful and excited because your answer. I never thought you would answer to me, because you're amazing and fabulous 😍. I'm so sorry about answering too late, but I continued having some problems to recover. And yes! I feel really fortunate for this and I hope you still want to message with me. ☹️ With love and admiration, Karina ❤️ (I'm sorry if my English is not good enough, but I'm still learning) 🤭

[@НаталияКурская-ч2ш]

Елена, здравствуйте! Пишу по-русски, из России!! Ашер-Вальс и Небесное танго-я слушаю только Ваше исполнение! И всп,что Вы исполняете. Высочайший профессионализм, музыкальность, чуство стиля и необыкновенно красивая женщина-это всё Вы, Елена!! Браво!Бис! Вы-чудо!!!

[@elenapapandreouguitar]

Thanks a lot Natalia (I think this is your name)! I appreciate it. PS I have the impression that you make the same mistake as many others with the title of Tango en Skaï. Skaï does not mean heaven (sky) but a cheap quality of leather, so it means something like "cheap tango"

[@hughlawson5399]

homegirl in the back is really digging it!

[@kbec789]

I listen to 'Dyens: Guitar Music' almost daily. Thank you so very much for all the joy and inspiration your work continues to give me.

I love how you can hear oscar yell "AHH BRAVO" right at the end. Love this video!

[@elenapapandreouguitar]

thank you! Oscar's "bravo" reminds me of when he was very young, giving a concert and the public where applauding him in the end, his proud mother sitting in the public was saying loud "Io sono la mamma!!" (I am the mother!)

[@BenjaminTint]

@@elenapapandreouguitar that's funny... I saw him give a class once where he yelled "i am the father!" when referring to the opening line of the valses poeticos.

Θυμάμαι τον Ιανουάριο του 2013,που την είχα ακούσει στο μέγαρο μουσικής με την κρατική ορχήστρα στο κοντσέρτο Αράνχουεθ.Μετά το κοντσέρτο,του οποίου η ερμηνεία ήταν άριστη, έπαιξε αυτό το κομμάτι και ο κόσμος φοβερά ενθουσιάστηκε από το τάνγκο .Το tango en skai είναι το κομμάτι της.

Your performance of Tango en Skai, which i heard first on spotify, is the most perfect guitar playing i have ever heard in my entire life thank you for it

[@elenapapandreouguitar]

Oh God, I am too flattered, thank you so much!

[@jidiplaygames1244]

@@elenapapandreouguitar :D I don't know much about guitar, music... by that i mean a more academic understanding of what makes a great performance, great? So i resort to the silly mistake of comparing, but in this case it helped me a bit at least, because what i heard there i had never heard before, it was like an equation, (though _not_ one) no note out of place, with the wrong volume or tone. i apologize if this appears silly, it's because i tried explaining something that is felt, but "explaining" has its uses, at least now i could tell you that you're great at the guitar

[@elenapapandreouguitar]

@@jidiplaygames1244 it does not sound silly at all! On the contrary, from the way you explain, you seem to understand more than some... academic "specialists" :-) Thank you again!
