I few words about the interpretation - you will notice that it's a lot faster than most of the guitar performances out there, and that is because I went for the proper piano tempo, which is quarter note equals about 135. Most guitarists play it around 120 or so, some a little faster. I also chose to do the staccato basses or at least detached basses as it is indicated in the piano score and not legato. So I hope you will enjoy this slightly different version of our favorite piece.

[@fhfabio]

The basses indeed resemble the piano version, thanks for pointing out it was intentional 😃

[@DuraLexSedLex01]

If all pieces were played the same way, there would be absolutely no point in listening to music. Thank you, Gohar, for providing your outstanding, original interpretation.

[@marcocalvoanchia9813]

Is bether, I prefer your version.

[@gitarisngasal4678]

Yes. I notice about fast tempo. Thanks for the upload.

[@ritupabankotoky]

For me, it is the best version i heard till today. so smooth.

[@raffitorossian6994]

Wow, wow, wow. What a speed. What a clarity of notes. So furious. So hot. I must confess that i never imagined Gohar Vardanyan playing Asturias at this tempo with much net and clear notes. It was something amazing. Million bravo.

[@user-kh8tc9sp7r]

Miss Gohar Vardanyan is a guitar phenomenon and a wonderful person!!!

[@rondienaar3336]

I do agree and subscribe that!

[@paulinomarcos8282]

Eres excepcional. Muy bueno. Gohar... En todo lo que te metes. Haciendo de una guitarra clasica a otras cosas mayores. Guitarra Española en todos los sentidos... Un talento envidiable. Que llega hasta manolo San Lucar y el Gran Paco de lucia.............

[@David-lz1rk]

Everytime I hear and see you play, I wonder how on earth it is possible to do what you do. The left hand movements are so precice and the right hand looks so effortless, yet the sound coming out is beyond beautiful. Thank you for you commitment to your craft and the countless hours you put in. It is a gift that you are able to share it with us. And we are grateful.

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thank you for the kind words! 😍

[@pedro21011]

David, I agree absolutely!

[@davidnorton2642]

A brilliant reminder that, when played exceptionally well and not "hacked through", this piece remains a first-class show-stopper.

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thank you David! 😊

[@markcampbell6089]

That was beyond amazing Gohar! I’ve never enjoyed it more nor heard it played with such stunning virtuosity! Congratulations and thank you!

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thank you Mark!!!! ❤️

[@jeffreywade-realtorconsult3950]

The sound, tempo and precision was incredible. Didn’t want to breath for fear of missing something! Thank you for sharing

[@Synonomous]

I did notice the piano speed. Faster than Yepes or Romero perform it. You have a superb right hand. No 'galloping' in the tremolo. Lovely to listen to. Thank you.

[@user-vb4my2vc2x]

Terrific interpretation. One of the best I've heard.

[@MrGourdman1]

Beautiful! You are a prime example of how economical hand movement pays off. Like Tony Rice!

[@joekail8031]

The rhythmic accent is full of power and so befitting and the triplets are crystal clear. The separation between the base and treble is awesome! That thumb is off the charts young lady, and your artist passion is soul touching! What a beautiful gift you are!!!!
