I heard this piece in Calgary, Alberta. Everyone was on the edge of their seats.

[@franktalarico689]

What an artist. That throat singing thrown in there was moving.

[@nikogonzalez11]

I saw Pavel play at Columbia College of the Arts Chicago in 2007 and in Cordoba, Spain in 2005. I still have one of his concert programs saved away and both concert programs call this song Homage a Jana Obrovska.

[@hansvanbriemen2153]

It is a blessing to have such a genius guitarist amongst us. I had some classes from Pavel (2002), but his talents are not transferable to others. This is his own “Limosna por el Amor de Dios”. Thank you Pavel.

[@austinkeller_synesthesiac]

I had the amazing opportunity to listen to Pavel live. Possibly the best guitarist in the world??

[@johanasvobodova7046]

Austin Keller he is the best guitarist in my country - Czech republic. But he is one of the best guitarists of the world i think

[@jasonstripinis8834]

My teacher (who has recorded Paganini Caprices at violin tempi) a student of Ghiglia, Russell, Fisk, Rossfelder and Gallen, says of Pavel, "he is my idol--SUCH a genius."

[@MrPDTaylor]

David Russell is GOAT in my book.

[@francescospina6692]

​@@jasonstripinis8834Who is your teacher? I want to listen Paganini records

[@darkoanton5]

I saw him perform this live ladt night. At first I was figures he must be ysing a looper. No. No looper. I was at an after concert gathering and spent over an hour listening to him talk guitar, guitat strings, guitarists, voice and shared stoies with Hack Silver of the Guitar Society of Toronto. It was quite the experence.

[@nikosz66]

The myth that traditional guitars have a rather short life ,is knocked down by this 180 year old guitar.Pavel has metamorphosed her into a modern versatile musical cannon. Welldone!!!

[@BerndGastSpielt]

guitar playing at its best!

[@Broganeye]

Complete and total awesomeness! Pavel is one of the very best players I've ever seen live. I feel the experience was close a perfect concert experience. A true master of old and new repertoire. Thanks for posting this.

[@simonsamadhimusic]

[@marioramosribeiro7869]

Bravo

[@vicbroEP]

Wowwwww.. Amazing

[@13moles]

Genius!

[@KMT9999]

I have heard him play this piece live. I could not believe my eyes and ears when he reached 4:19. It was a magical moment.

[@screening1]

Great!! that's rock!!!!!

[@Michajeru]

Extraordinarily good.

[@jonathanwayne3895]

Wow - astounding playing combined with some subtle overtone singing. Candyrat should sign Steidl if only to introduce his playing to a wider audience not acquainted with modern classical guitar.

[@olegrin]

Super!!!!

[@Alphaje]

Way too modest! I would never be able produce a fraction of the sound with the same instrument, let alone the emotion.

[@kakukkpeter]

Genious

[@Max.Riccio]

Fantástico!!!

[@RobertoMartinez-uv4nx]

Extraordinario!!

[@marekvodicka]

mazec!!

[@hawksilverdragon]

Was he doing Mongolian Throat singing? sure sounded like it

[@mushroomman52]

yes he was and they prefer the term inuit throat singing

[@DanielRamjattan]

@@mushroomman52 Mongolian and Inuit people are completely different cultures in completely different parts of the world with their own unique throat singing traditions. He's doing Mongolian throat singing.

[@alperyazici]

BEST

[@axel15473]

I didn't know he can sing overtones. Amazing

[@marekchmiel398]

paco de lucia He actually can sing. I'm from the same country as him. When he was younger he played and singed with his brother( I think that his name is Josef) which plays the banjo.

[@gabrielamikusova9921]

Paco is far beyond...

[@vicbroEP]

Ohh it's called overtones.. The sound like song from tibet

[@franciscofernandez5356]

Does anyone has the sheet music for this song? It would love to *try* to play it

[@steveb9325]

Did you ever get the score? I'm looking for a as well.

[@PAYOON07]

What’s wrong with the dislike !?

[@steveb9325]

Does anybody elae think this piece (the beginning) sounds like that Lou Reed song?

[@manuell.4998]

Remember Are you going with me? (P.Meteheny composition)

[@manuell.4998]

only the ostinato form in the intro

[@mariorivera4803]

How is he playing the drone in the back?

[@bretthake7713]

If you're referring to appx 4:20-5:10 it's his voice

[@garthstiebel1914]

Metal anyone? Would love to hear this on an electric guitar.

[@kirkpatticalma7911]

Funny, I can't make my Legnani sound like this.

[@SilentAnja]

Someone sheet music please?

[@mislavpecnik2490]

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA😂🤣

[@JaxonBurn]

Lmao

[@SilentAnja]

@@JaxonBurn Just explain what is funny? :)

[@Is-ql1vq]

Led Zeppelin still 🙏

[@harmmartens929]

Just another Piece by gitarists for gitarists. Where are the real composers ?

[@RvBy88]

Dude please

[@michaello001]

toto by si mal pustiť každý kto rozumie pod pojmom hrať na gitaru hrať niake popove sračky

[@nylonsteel]

Looper pedals run away in fear...

[@anza1382]

Easily the best guitar performance i've seen in my life hands down.

[@bobsquires4521]

That is just terrific - and what a lovely guitar! Thank you for not tuning during the performance. A number of players will do that during (and throughout) a piece and it becomes not only distracting but worrisome with many times making the problem even worse. This was so inventive and exciting, and the ending with coda was wonderful. Beautiful playing!

[@aresdester]

Saw him live a week ago and he was phenomenal. He came back for an encore THREE times. Played this piece as well and it was enthralling.

[@1yonjae]

In dem Moment des Obertonsingens - etwa in der Mitte - (typisch fuer Khemyi aus der Mogolei) zugleich mit atemberaubender technischer Brillanz finde ich kein Wort mehr. Ithaca wurde lediglich fuer einen bestimmten Gitarrenmeister komponiert, nicht fuer alle Gitarristen.

[@bzeliotis]

That's an incredible piece for the classical guitar. Pavel pulled all the stops!

[@aspasia-ramonaspyropoulou9847]

Dear Mr. Pavel, i feel extremely lucky to have heard you live.( igft.gr/) I believe that it was an experience i will always reminsce about. This piece, in parallel with the innate technical difficulty, has a magic power to engender me a wonderful mix of feelings. Your music is outstanding and your playing brilliant. Thank you so much! And I hope i reach my destination, because I go to Ithaca too...

[@petrhouska1431]

Holt asi dobrej oddíl, no :) velmi pěkně a to jsem si myslel, že už na kytaru celkem umím hrát :)

[@mastertechnique9707]

the Great Pavel, love his creativity

[@Jendavjetor]

Pavle, jste skvělý. Jako malému mi vás hrál můj učitel kytary. Poslouchám vás až do dnes a stále s napjatýma ušima. Mistře, snad se vás někdy naučím.

[@ClassicalGuitarist]

Wow!

[@Ale4music]

wow :-)

[@jayadityanath9077]

which brand of guitar is that?

[@smrnff]

Nicolaus Georg Ries, 1838, Vienna (Austria)

[@purplelight2947]

I am so happy I found this!)

[@FabianVanL]

Wonderful! And throat singing too?

[@billybanjoseph]

Is this on a recording!?

[@АлександрШлыков-ы7ч]

Гениальный музыкант-гитарист, и артист!!!!

[@LL4love]

so inspiring! great artist!

[@thaonguyenphuong4580]

So beautiful!

[@marioramosribeiro7869]

Pure genius!

[@davidschestenger3366]

Not even jimmy hendrix, this men is INCREDIBLE, in this or medieval music

[@sergerobert9831]

C'est fou ce que Pavel arrive à faire avec une guitare XIXe siècle; on est pas mal loin de Segovia!

[@gioachinogiussani4303]

eccezionale Pavel, stà come a eseguire una fantastica pittura che non vorrebbe finire mai.....complimenti

[@jorgealbarado2040]

Un maestro lo conocí en guitarras del mundo argentina

[@markosladoljev5692]

Can I have chords for this? ;-)

[@mislavpecnik2490]

You're funny man

[@markosladoljev5692]

For intro at least :-D

[@isaia1100]

Lleva algo grabado?
