Gnossienne No. 3 by Erik Satie

Antonio López Palacios plays Satie on an eight-string guitar

[@antoniolopezp]

Those notes of Satie are amazing... they feel so intimate, it's like a good friend giving some loving advice to the performer. Thanks for your comments

[@notoms1]

I keep coming back to this. Other recordings become soulless in comparison

[@deadredeyes]

It's nice to hear someone playing Satie's work like it was meant to played. ... soft, heartfelt and without borders. A lot of people rush his songs or play them too rigidly, and they just don't sound right. This was spot on. Great work.

[@antoniolopezp]

Yes, it helps to have those extra strings. The important thing, and the one that I've tried to keep always in mind, is that the instrument doesn't lose it's intimate singing quality. I think that that is possible in pieces like this. Thank you for your input. Antonio

[@1cleandude]

I don't believe this piece can be played any better than what we've just heard. Hypnotic, beautiful phrasing and ultra-classic tone. Fabulous job Antonio, David

[@TubeSpoker]

one of THE best interpretations of Satie N.3 ! The pauses are amazing ... it´s like a vacumm perfect ! perfect !

[@1Cindercone]

I am a doctor and when stressed I sit back between patientsand listen to 3minutes and 27 secs of heaven. I wish I could play when I hear this. Fantastic.

[@cherry.lemonade987]

Just wanted to let you know that I have bookmarked this and No. 1. One of my all-time favourites. Beautiful playing!

[@antoniolopezp]

Thank you, Christine!!

[@antoniolopezp]

Pablo, Thanks so much for your comment. Satie's music is so special to me. I'm working on the rest of the Gnossienne and the gymnopedies. Saludos y gracias

[@jefersonvilaede]

look at his expression. hes really feeling it.

[@youen2]

It's a pretty eerie song on the piano...but on guitar is sounds so sorrowful. I love when musicians make the instruments ooze emotion like they're supposed to. Great job!

[@Azazello321]

Thank you, Antonio, it's amazing to hear Satie's music played on guitar, and so faithfully. Bravo!

[@sophierata]

Antonio, you are darn talented!!! b e au t i f u l thank you

[@clownsandjugglers]

I have heard many versions of this piece played on guitar, and this fellow's is the best by far. I wondered if he benefitted from having a superior guitar, but no, if you just listen you will hear a very fine musician. I'm sure having 8 strings helps, but it's the man not the guitar.

[@tatoruso]

Profundo, sutil y etereo... Fantástico, Antonio, me has llegado a lo hondo.

[@giatrosgiannis2719]

Fucking BRAVO...............

[@woodenfences]

Hypnotizing! Bravo!

[@NormalPianist]

Beautiful and moving! When I start learning a new piece, I like to bookmark a perfect interpretation of that song, and this is definitely the one!

[@oscilis]

This is like a painting but I can hear it.

[@gonkusplonkus]

absolutely haunting.

[@paulblackburnDeadCircuits]

I have left comments before about what an amazing performance of Satie you are capable of and have had this featured on my channel for quite some time now but I need to say again what a wonderful version of gnossienne no.3 this is and can only hope to be able to play it on the piano as well as you play on guitar,you are a true musician and I think Satie himself would agree,thanks for playing-Pablo

[@indebtjoseph]

3 dislikes so far?!! they must be justin bieber fans. (is that how you spell his name? not gonna waste time looking it up) great stuff, Antonio. And thanks for sharing.

[@bilstew]

@antoniolopezp Hello Antonio,Great to hear you playing Satie....Really lovely tone from that guitar. I would really like to see it "in the flesh".The slanted frets are interesting to hear about and does this enhance the tuning in any form or fashion? What notes are the 8 individual strings tuned to and do the strings each have their own thickness?This August in the city of Derry our Guitar society cgsni.org in Ireland will have its annual Guitar Fest.We have a lady member called Graciela.

[@bilstew]

Played with great expression and in my opinion interpretation...The guitar fits the piece most profoundly. I think that this 8 stringed instrument could easily tackle "Romance " by Rubenstein....I have never ever heard the latter piece played on guitar...only Cello and on Y/Tube most beautifully by the late Gregor Piatigorsky.Greetings from Ireland by the way.

[@antoniolopezp]

David, thanks for the comment! I don't play no. 2 (yet). I've just uploaded Gymnopedie no. 3. Saludos Antonio

[@uuunderground]

Senor Lopez, do you compose any of your own music? I would love to hear. Also, it would be a joy to hear your interpretation of the Afro Cuban Lullaby that Segovia used to frequently play. Your sensitivity with the instrument and willingness to let the music breathe are magnificent.

[@antoniolopezp]

It's not a twisted neck, the frets are at an angle. I don't think you can buy in in the net. Mine was built by Abel García. Saludos

[@topbluffa1]

hi m8 gotta say i think this is brilliant i wanna learn to play spanish guitar like this so bad. does that have more strings than normal or is it just me?

[@Kadayao-telaranrhiodBlogspot]

Empyreal music that soothes the soul..

[@aafke123]

ok mister palacios, can you PLEASE record a cd so that I can buy it, because I would like to listen to your music everyday!

[@Karam1982]

does your guitar have a twisted neck? please let me know from where i can buy one on the net thanks

[@corowndasensei]

Such a fantastic interpretation of satie. PROPS from Amsterdam!

[@DanielDroz]

Fantastic performance! (If that means anything coming from an old rock & roller) :)

[@Niikkoooo]

wow, hauntingly beautiul.

[@antoniolopezp]

Thank you so much for your comment!!! I'm glad you enjoyed it Antonio

[@chicoriasanchez07]

Hermoso Antonio! un abrazo desde Chile.

[@Chille0]

is there anywhere i can download or purchase the mp3s for your satie renditions?

[@wernerkonings]

Thanks for sharing your version of this composition, this is the best version I ever heard!

[@bilstew]

A great rendering of this piece by Satie.I have yet to hear better.The hypnotic qualities of the Music are well captured by the Guitarist. Nun en Esperanto...La Gitar kaj la Gitaristo estas de la plej alta Kvalito kaj xgi ne estas normalo vidi gitar kun ok kordoj.

[@jeffwilliams196]

So glad I stumbled onto this.

[@antoniolopezp]

+Jeff Williams Saludos desde México, Jeff

[@kacaku]

The interpretation is the most important part in a musical piece, and you do it great. 5 stars

[@amccann7]

Very beautiful. Is this your arrangement? I would like to learn this piece.

[@antoniolopezp]

+Amy McCann Yes, it's my transcription. Actually, it's read directly from the original piano score

[@piscadorofisher]

yeah that's really cool. thanks for sending it. great.

[@Ojoe2010]

You sir, understand Satie. *listens further with closed eyes*

[@neoanimist]

Juste et inspiré... Interprétation de caractère. Bravo.

[@jestemjezusem]

beautiful. really, really beautiful.

[@w820916]

woah

[@MorbidlyObeseCat]

Antonio this is the best rendition of this on a guitar I have ever heard!!!! :O :O :) May I ask how long it took you to get this good at guitar? I'm thinking of trying to learn it myself after I've got a bit better at the piano and I don't think I could get to your standard but I can try and get close! xD thanks :)

[@TristanBrakerJa]

QUE MAQUINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@wernerkonings]

Whats the tuning of this guitar?

[@lamsauping]

[@azzaggax]

GREAT! 5 stars man!

[@eaglecrowowl]

that is so lovely. I am already a fan of Satie, but I haven't heard him on solo guitar. That was so sad and heartfelt. I really felt the emotion of the song. Just beautiful! :)

[@RedArtsMediaS]

Bravo!

[@oh_rhythm]

Gracias por dejarnos este video libremente. Oirlo me conmueve, llegan los sentimientos del compositor y del intérprete. Me permito contar una anécdota atribuida a un torero antiguo: "Maestro, ¿cuál es la diferencia entre Clásico y Perfecto?. Clásico es lo que no se puede hacer mejor, y perfecto lo que está bien arrematao". Entonces, esto es clásico y perfecto.

[@milonkill]

Amazing. :-)

[@AtziriKaiser]

[@adams123s]

Cudowne !

[@cathysamyachup2653]

Beautiful Bookmarked. Have you played a piece called "Romance"????

[@miglage]

que maravilla!! Si Erik Satie pudiera oir esta Gnossienne con el sonido y los matices que le saca con su guitarra, de seguro quedaria impresionado. Mi sincera enhorabuena.

Belle interprétation

Yo que creía que cuando la tocaba en el piano sonaba bien... Qué complejo me entra... :/ Había oído versiones incluso orquestadas, como la de la orquesta L'Amoureux de París, con Yutaka Sado. Pero esto es maravilloso. Gracias

[@antoniolopezp]

+vanesa blanco Muchas gracias por tus comentarios,Vanesa
