Five Preludes by Heitor Villa-Lobos | Siccas Guitars

[@nathanv.4397]

This is beautiful. I came across this bc of Kiko of Megadeth. I now see where the song "Conquer or Die" comes from.

[@mvp019]

Excellent job by Ms. Whittingham on No. 1 - most players render it as if they have a train to catch and rush through (especially the bridge), denying the listener much of the sweetness that is in the piece.

[@johnnicholson3314]

I agree. There is a delicate balance on how a piece is played. Even when Segovia was younger and had greater speed and strength in his hands he took the interpretation and balance greatly in consideration rather than over speeding parts of a piece that really didn’t need it. Listen to his interpretation of the suite Sonatina Torroba wrote and compare to others. There are three movements with the 2nd most popular amongst guitarists repertoire.

[@jeffpowersvideo4621]

She plays at approximately the speed that Villalobos played it at... but he even takes a little more time in the middle section and played sone different notes or in a slightly different order… He might've re-edited it before it was published or Segovia might've changed a few things

[@williamh123456789]

A warm salute from Brazil, land of the great Villa Lobos!

[@robertmarcus9653]

Villa Lobos did very much composing and living in NY. Manhattan ☘️🥀💯🌻

[@scottripley5764]

Gotta say... Raphael's Performance was... so intensely emotional. Oh my God. I've never seen anyone play that piece as he has. Wow.

[@johnnicholson3314]

You can see how Raphael uses that same patience as Costeff did and when needed to with precision and feeling the faster portion was superb.

[@krismawyer55]

I agree! Rafael took #5 to another wonderful place. Wow! And I mean past even the old school interpreters Segovia Williams Parkening etc. which so many these days don't even attempt. I frickin' loved it! Beautiful playing and feeling by all though. Lovely!

[@alexariza876]

Had the pleasure of seeing him perform in Rochester NY earlier this year. He is amazing. Super down to earth guy as well. Immensely talented.

[@3lc_1_0.]

exceptional performance, mr.Raphael Feuillatre.

[@giuseppearmetta1426]

How beautifully this guy Marcin Dyla plays....it must be the way he feels music and not only his set of skills earned with intense studies...

[@johnnicholson3314]

Agree he is one of my favorite guitarists to watch and listen too.

[@spoders92]

I agree. I play classical guitar and have heard many guitarists play. This guy is so smooth…such a masterful touch.

[@tarantinoexperience1108]

Villa- lobos his music described the birds, the land, the brazilian caboclo ... preludio number 4 is the singing and dancing of the brazilian indian .. perfect!

[@andreavocino]

The haunting character of #4 and Svetoslav is right into it - look at his face expressions! They are all amazing!

[@thebones]

oh! Wonderful performances from everyone, I loved Alexandra Whittingham's prelude no.1. So good, lovely guitar too.

[@cassianogatto5752]

Que maravilha. A profundidade musical de Villa-Lobos é assustadora... Raphael é brilhante na sua apresentação.

[@todhursen8102]

They really are world class guitarists. Raphaels touch is excellently light. I love his command of rythmn.

[@Aislanzito]

🇧🇷🇧🇷 Excelente homenagem a este grande compositor brasileiro 🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@todhursen8102]

Svetslav Costoff made every note penetrate and reverberate within the soul. most authoritative--Bravo.

[@xkabaun9913]

My greetings to Mr Raphael, fantastic playing.

[@stevendwoodruff]

Nice to have them in one place with five players. Thanks

[@cycling.guitarist]

Wonderful performance of Villa Lobos from different guitarists.. Thank you!

[@Cinetyk]

This all is excellent but I'm truly captivated by Alexandra's renditions of Villas-Lobos preludes 1 and 3. The music and the composition and feeling is excellent, to be sure, indisputably. But to see such a young and beautiful girl from England perform this with such authentic feeling, to me (a Portuguese man born in 1984) feels like solid proof we need to open up our hearts to artists from anywhere in the world. I'm so glad I was born in 1984 and the internet is here and I get to experience music performed by people from different origins it just fills my heart with joy. Cheers, Siccas Guitars for all the work you've done. You've made a mark on me :)

[@VSNxx]

The interpretation of Mr.Costoff for Prelude 4 was amazing

[@ВикторШатков-н8б]

Beautiful performance ...

[@frites73]

Alexandra you are amazing! Ty so much for letting me experience this! Wow!

[@WagnerCordeiro]

Congratulations from all, but Raphael Feuillatre played whith brazilian soul: Bravissímo!!!

[@joaotello6538]

Raphael... your performance is beautiful. The best of youtube! 👏🏼

[@pietropaolopedicini3991]

Ho sempre adorato i preludio n.1 di Villa Lobos, da quando ero un giovane studente di chitarra e l'ho ascoltato molte volte nella mia vita. Volevo ringraziare la bravissima Alexandra, per quella che è forse la migliore interpretazione che ho mai avuto il piacere di ascoltare. Grazie con tutto il cuore!!

[@williambudd2850]

She keeps getting better and beter!

[@lancecahill5486]

Thank you all for the performance of music from one of my favorite composers.

[@sniperninja27]

Beautifully performed! Prelude 1 and 4 are pieces I performed while studying classical guitar performance. Was a sonic trip down memory lane, my only critique is this for prelude 1: play each phrase as if you were singing it, find the "breathes" between each phrase and allow them time to linger, it makes the preludes have so much more emotional response from listeners, and feels more natural. It does however increase the time of the preludes. You see this with prelude 4s performance in the video.

[@jamesweber5616]

Good afternoon all--came over from the electric guitar side when an obscure reference was made regarding harmonics. OMG! The beautiful arpeggios, open string drones or runs while playing the other strings, plus so much more. I think I will hang out here a bit, thanks!

[@garrymeadows4452]

Thank you once again Siccas, another great representation of the beauty of classical guitar and the music of a wonderful composer.

[@marcelonascimento2356]

Uau amazing performance from all artists Raphael talks emotionally with the guitar bravo!

[@frites73]

Beautifully done!!!!! Wow I'm in love....

[@yodajuana2445]

That '77 Bouchet has such a sweet, mellow, resonant tone to it.

[@johnnicholson3314]

Costoff nailed it on how this piece needs that patience between phrases. Beautiful interpretation that I have ever heard.

[@gabrielzack6355]

Alexandra; your art and your beauty are the best!! Gift for me. Thanks.

[@pedrofernandes6668]

Incrível como todos os 5 prelúdios para violão do Villa-Lobos são absolutamente geniais, em especial o 1 e o 3. Villa-Lobos uma vez disse que ele perdeu a partitura do seu prelúdio número 6 e que era o mais belo, espero com todas as minhas forças que seja verdade e que seja encontrado. Amazing how all 5 Villa-Lobos guitar preludes are absolutely brilliant, especially 1 and 3. Villa-Lobos once said that he lost the score for his prelude number 6 and that it was the most beautiful, I hope with all my strength to be true and to be found. And Alexandra, you are always amazing playing Villa-Lobos, I'm your fan, Sorry about my google translate english

[@ericlamont1302]

superb Superb Alexandra

[@todhursen8102]

I'm at a loss for words Alexandra rendition is vibrant, warm that it lingers within my soul.

[@CONNELL19511216]

[@markb9419]

It always feels like villa lobos managed to bury some kind of incantation inside prelude 4. Utterly spellbinding

[@jasonbaillie]

I remember these pieces! They're part of my 3rd year of performance in solo musicianship in college. Great pieces, well performed!

[@User2424u]

It’d be a good idea to get into content creation with the knowledge you’ve gained during college

Alexandra's Gomez Ramirez is da bomb !! Nice to see a brown-redish ebony fingerboard once in a while ! My C10 has has this, too, which, btw, if you are looking at a Cordoba C10-12 up, it IS real ebony and NOT ebonized 'something else' ! M

In prelude number five, you can see the bass string vibrating. I always knew this must happen, but I've never seen it so clearly, before.

[@gitaaa7740]

Out of all these performances, I loved Alexandra the best! Pure elegance! Question on Prelude 4. Why did the performer start the E on the 4th string? My music says play on 3rd string. I have the Villa Lobos Solo published in 1990 by Amsco Publications. Anybody out there know the answer?
