"All women now are false, are false, and few are fair" Sounds like this song was written after a breakup, some things never change.

[@virginielafrench3921]

Not ar all ! This song refers to the story of Orpheus abd Eurydice . In ancient Greece legends ,Orpheus was a great poet and musician ,one of the best on earth .His music moved an6 creature who heard it . He was deeply in love with Eurydice but one day ,Eurydice died and Orpheus was so deeply shoked that he defied the gods ,entering the kingdom of Hades after he seduced Cerberus the dog with his music. I don 't remember the end of the story though

[@aronasmundurjonasson3175]

@@virginielafrench3921 Then, when Orpheus came to Hades, he asked to bring Eurydice back to life. Hades, seeing that Orpheus was able to enter, which is normally impossible, accepted, but at one condition, that Orpheus must not look at Eurydice on his way back to Earth. Orpheus accepted, and started walking with Eurydice. As he walked, he did not look at her, except for the very last part. Right before the end, he could not resist looking to see if Eurydice was still following him. As he looked at her, he saw her vanish right before his eyes. Eurydice was now gone, for good.

Give this man his lute!

[@abelnagy6694]

I cannot believe how underrated stringed instruments are compared to piano. I love my classical guitar, and imo any stringed classical piece can be just as amazing as a piano piece.

[@hellomate639]

Theorbos are on another level, IMHO. They don't sound like a traditional lute, they're so deep and rich, yet so organic.

[@YouTubeHandlesAreMoronic]

Very impressive performance gentlemen. I love how the low notes of the theorbo are dance-club deep, but still possess a 'buzzy" quality that makes them clear and incisive, at the same time. Mr. Phan's diction, with the soft consonants and buttery transients, serve the mood of the song exceptionally well. He's a Late Renaissance Mel Torme'!

[@nimamoradi2660]

Its been years that I have been a fan of you, I really thing you are a humble artist which only true professionals can be... its great listening to you, thank you

[@marcoshmendes]

Beautiful

[@samuelllakaj5439]

Well done! I love the plucky sound of theorbo and the singer blew me away with those dynamics. Two great maestros at it!

[@jaywestguitar]

I don't usually listen to classical music but find myself playing this song on repeat often, great work guys!

[@damfilho4232]

Beautiful!!!

[@markfortuin7111]

Excellent as always Brandon. Thanks for posting.

[@LidorBA]

Beautiful! Thank you both.

[@breckon2684]

Brandon, I love your videos of just musical performance! It's a great way to get exposed to more early / baroque music, as well as listen to some beautiful performers!

[@Remi-B-Goode]

Wow nice harmonic surprises !

[@quinterofelixchidez]

Love in Mexico flamenco or classical guitar

[@FranticRock]

We forgot how to play this kind of music. We are stuck on TikTok racing the microwave…. But you guys are making us remember again.

[@andrewbagger]

If you feel like you can't find worthwhile art on the internet, you're either looking in the wrong places or need to be making it yourself. Complaining about youth culture doesn't make you cooler or more respectable

[@NickKouls]

Absolutely wonderful job !! 😊

Hello Brandon, I am a new subscriber. ❤

[@felixthecat0371]

yay more Phan

[@musclecar96]

Astounding! Do you have recordings on spotify? Or do you recommend good albums like this?

[@willkrondak6444]

so beautiful

[@sarahwithanh876]

I listened to a similar video last night before going to sleep and had a medieval themed dream. Wonder why? 😂 Beautiful playing as always!

[@samuelllakaj5439]

Did you slay a dragon and rescue the princess? XD

[@sarahwithanh876]

@@samuelllakaj5439 Not quite 🤭 I broke his baroque guitar and woke up slightly panicked until I realized it was a dream…

[@virginielafrench3921]

Bonjour Brandon ! Enfin ,je parviens à me connecter à nouveau à you tube !!! ( avec une version pourrie mais c 'est mieux que rien ! 😄). Très belle vidéo. Belle musique très reposante et ce jeune homme a une jolie voix et une excellente prononciation. Je vous applaudis tous les deux !! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@rob1016ny]

Not gonna lie. I read it as “give me the loot” by Notorious BIG. That would be a remix.

[@sarahwithanh876]

If anyone could do that, it would be Brandon.

[@damioncastellano5299]

He should do that

[@oreally8605]

I don't think gangster rap & lute music mix. Just saying.

Thanks Brian! They are my own instruments which I play professionally as a performer in concerts. Cheers!

[@sarahwithanh876]

He has videos showing his collection INCLUDING his electric guitar. Hard to believe that he started out in a band with his brother playing 80’s rock!

[@GMW712]

I like it ❤🙏🏻❤️

[@NotAllBooksSmellNice]

I think the technical definition is "dope"

[@onsesejoo2605]

It would be interesting to hear your take on "Braindance" by Animals As Leaders. :)

[@LiftedBlader]

Absolutely. The brain dance is such a cool song

[@trebmaster]

Are any Jeremy Soule pieces coming up in your future? Elder Scrolls covers?

[@brandonacker]

I'm not planning to. I play original music from the baroque period or 19th century mostly and modern covers are more or a rare thing for fun 😊

[@ManuCel_]

Is it "Give me ly lute" written for therobo?

[@brandonacker]

A theorbo is a type of lute. But the piece is written for singer and continuo. It's rather like a Jazz lead sheet in that it doesn't say which instrument should accompany. You could use lute, harp, harpsichord, organ, guitars, or any combination of those.

[@ManuCel_]

​@@brandonackerdamn, I had no idea. I just thought it was funny that the title called for a lute and you had a therobo for... "Arranging reasons"? Very good work Mr. Keep it up ❤

[@felixthecat0371]

​@@ManuCel_well a theorbo is just a kind of lute right?

[@Whamesl0l]

Not to be confused with Notorious BIG's 'gimme the lute'

Should i detune classical guitar after playing overnight?

[@andrewnicon]

[@Sygyt123]

Who else wants Brandon to cover PDQ Bach?

[@virginielafrench3921]

Brandon ,have you ever heard of Thomas Dunfort ? He is Léa Desandre 's boyfriend and a theorbo player . What do you think of him ? I personnally think he is good and is a fine match for Léa.

[@parkie101010]

A happy little ditty this 😬 Very beautiful however.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

I haven't seen any lute personally

[@pottedrodenttube]

This Banister guy was a real bummer.

[@SufyMusic]

That is the Arch Lute isn’t it

[@brandonacker]

Theorbo. Archlute is smaller and tuned higher. It's very easy to confuse them.

[@SufyMusic]
