Pavel Steidl plays Mauro Giuliani - Guitar Concerto No. 1 in A

[@carlospatino9657]

Bravo Pavel!! I don't belive that guitar was once at my home! Beautifull!!

[@alatolovionainstain]

This is the most wonderful and original way to play this famous concerto, not to mention the old-style guitar. Notice, how he strikes the rhythm in the third part with his fingers in the orchestral part. Bravo!

[@fourquartets7900]

Spectacular!!!!! Love the beautiful old guitar!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!!

[@Steve_K2]

Speechless in admiration for both the composer and the guitarist.

[@albertomartinez2479]

I was listening to a classical radio station in upstate New York USA and I heard this recorded piece and checked out KZbin to see if it was posted. From what I gather Pavel Steidl is playing Emilia Giuliani's (b 1781 d 1829) guitar. It appears to be an 1820s design and it sounds superb. Thank you for posting this. Just a brilliant performance of an even more brilliant composition.

[@tchirn]

How can you go through the trouble of accurately listing the years of Giuliani's birth and death and then giving him his daughter's name Emilia ? His name was MAURO GIULIANI.

[@albertomartinez2479]

Yes I agree. I see my error. Thanks for pointing this out. Unfortunately I cannot edit my entry at this date. The man's full name is Mauro Giuseppe Sergio Pantaleo Giuliani .

[@smrnff]

Alberto, if you talk about the _instrument_ he plays, it is Nicolaus Georg Ries guitar, 1838, Vienna (Austria).

Muy bello concierto, la orquesta y el solista hacen un conjunto maravilloso.

EXCELLENT!!! Please try to find and listen to *Angel Romero* performing Mauro Giuliani Concerto No. 1 in A major _(La majeur)_ and Concerto No. 3 in F major _(Fa majeur)_ with the English Chamber Orchestra directed by Raymond Leppard.

[@ycdouble1]

Thanks for uploading this. My favorite guitar music! Guitar and music still had beauty and grace then... The intro is a bit hurried maybe?

[@dibaldgyfm9933]

Big orchestra, small guitar sound, however, this Pavel makes it sound so well. Often guitarists don't get the full tone of the instrument - it may sound somewhat sharp or too light. (Difficult to find the words!)

[@rafaelduranmolina9249]

Magistral y muy bella interpretación de Steidel del Concierto para Guitarra No.1 de Giuliani; la orquesta igualmente muy adecuada. ...Me encantó. ¡Gracias por esta magnífica presentación!!

[@Marvin77744]

The sound of that guitar impresses me a lot. I think it's a Lacote guitar, or it's of the same style. I really like music for guitar and orchestra.

[@mesqueunsub1624]

Rumour has it that the guitar was Paganini's favorite instrument but it just didn't have the volume for concert halls so he played the violin but in his spare time he would play the guitar because it was polyphonically beautiful.

[@johnbisp]

mesqueunsub - I have the Paganini Guitar School, so he must have invested time in the instrument :-)

[@mesqueunsub1624]

Hi J, what is the Paganini Guitar School? I don't know if I posted this before but you can hear Steidl playing Paganini on KZbin 'Pavel Steidl plays Paganini Part 1'. You have to turn the volume up but it's incredible and he uses an instrument of the period I think. I wonder how many people can actually play his compositions never mind put feeling into them. What I love about sheet music is it means the masters of today can display and perform the music of the masters before recording was invented. I think Pavel Steidl is one of the few on the planet who can actually do this successfully. The harmonics alone are a technique that would be beyond most people, they are so beautiful too. I'd love to travel back in time to see Paganini perform both violin and guitar. And you're right, he must've invested a lot of time in guitar to be able to compose such music on it. Incredible.

Thanks a lot J. That looks like it would be a great book if it's got easier tunes for beginners as well. I might buy it just to look at the sheet music of the harder pieces and go wow look at all those stems! I hope you're enjoying it and managing to play some tunes. Must be great to say to friends you can play Paganini ;)

[@davidbarragan2875]

interpretación magistral del maestro steidel que nos transporta al paraíso.. Bravo!!!

[@mrgregcat]

Love Steidl -- his musicality and unique personality. Wish the sound here was a lot better. Also a big fan of this Giuliani piece.

I don't understand why not a Bviews( All the classical musician, )guitar is not what i love most but it gave me so much of passion and love for it, I'm listening n trying to sleep but can't sleep, want to hear more Anyway I'm a guitar major who loves drums too, but I think I have to be 100% in one instrument only, I wish to be like him one day💝

[@robinterkzer8128]

Love this concerto ! xxxxxxx

[@christiaandejong]

Pavel and this guitar deserves an orchestra, which sounds not so romantic and big with instruments from the time of Giuliani as well.....

[@georgewilkins4231]

Marvelous.!!!

[@viviannemassoud1991]

Très belle musique ❤❤❤❤❤ et 😊

[@herbertstefan2381]

\so far as Im know, the transscription of this concert from GHiuliani for "big orchestra" is from Anton Diabelli.

[@coudrillelovedeathbadbehav434]

I love this; (despite secretly feeling that fewer fiddles are required) These beautiful little guitars are surprisingly powerful - especially in the hands of such a master of tone-production - but violins of the same period had a different neck angle and a lower bridge; producing less volume. Nevertheless, 'delightful' is at the top of my list of adjectives;

[@Gguy061]

This is my bread and butter. I know exactly what to listen for in a Classical period concerto. Other people be fallin' asleep n' shit

[@claregirvan3176]

What is amusing the lady violinist on his left?

[@paulheffron4836]

Pavel told her a joke backstage that she suddenly remembered again. He is also very funny and loves people.

[@danielkirwan6239]

May I say..."WOW!"

[@odysseyandecho]

What would have a guitar concerto been like in the 19th century with no mics? Just a curious inquiry

[@dbeb48]

Smaller room, smaller orchestra and respect of the sound their accompanying without playing super loud.

[@odysseyandecho]

asdasdasd plus a guitar player not using nails..

[@dbeb48]

@@odysseyandecho that wasn't always the case. There were instruments of the lute family played with nails, like the theorbo for example. That would have been a matter of taste. Some guitarist played with and some without nails. About Giuliani no idea honestly.

[@odysseyandecho]

asdasdasd sor definitely didn’t, but there’s some evidence Giuliani and Aguado may have. Either way the use of nails on guitar wasn’t made popularized until Tarrega in the late 19th century.

Tuff one. Competing. It's like playing a triangle when 12/16 are at full volume.

[@76sprucetop]

I like pavel'mouth. Singing through whole movements.😂

[@paulheffron4836]

You could tell that Pavel could hardly wait to hop into this piece as the orchestra played at the opening. This man plays with his whole heart and soul.

[@Budy69able]

Pavel Steidl viene a ser, en ese sentido, como otro gran interprete, el genial Glen Gould, que murmuraba lo que iba tocando. :)

[@wbiro]

What the conductor should have said before beginning: "This is not a 'great piece', this is a 'delightful piece', with a quirky personality; so I want all serious looks banished from your faces - otherwise we will not capture the true essence of this work (which will rate a serious expression from me, but not for the right reason)..."

[@mesqueunsub1624]

I think only the great musicians can express what they are playing, most musicians concentrate on making sure it is played. Although I think there are famous orchestras throughout history who could achieve what you suggest. They must have been blessed with the finest instrumentalists.

[@tchirn]

A moronic comment!

does the guitar start at bar 106?

[@rufinosanchez2703]

Creo que los micrófonos están mal colocados, pues a veces la orquesta suena muy fuerte y opaca al solista. En ciertos pasajes no se entienden bien las notas y los compases en su conjunto. ¿O a la orquesta le cuesta encontrar el ritmo del solista, o al revés?...

[@HSenju03]

pienso igual

[@gamatogo]

Hay una reverberancia exagerada en aquella sala de concierto.)

[@servetheglobe]

Aces.

[@NeedsEvidence]

Cool. Steidl plays on an early 19th century-style guitar. Is it a Stauffer? Is it the same guitar Giuliani played back then?

[@albertomartinez2479]

1830s NYC Martins look exactly like the guitar in this video. German design.

[@coudrillelovedeathbadbehav434]

Martin came from Germany; hence much of the fabulous American guitar tradition; this looks like a replica Stauffer. Oh for the days of sleeve-notes! ...and what playing! fabulous articulation and, tone production.

[@jordancollin7308]

[@YangerDrums]

Works alot with my ear

[@Artearq7]

Lo que no tiene sentido es una guitarra del siglo XIX rodeada de instrumentos del siglo XX mucho más potentes y un micrófono que "electriza" el bello sonido de la guitarra antigua.

[@albatrosseable]

guitar killed by orchestra sound

[@frankhorvath817]

Guitar revived by Tesla et al , electronics, amplification, etc

[@Artearq7]

No creo. Pero si es cierto que la orquesta corre más que la guitarra.

[@peterwhyte317]

That is wrong. Why didn't they add a brass section and drums and ruin it completely?

[@agustinmaruri9079]

Even with amplification the guitar doesnt get through.

[@Artearq7]

O bien la orquesta va más rápida que la guitarra, o bien el guitarrista va más lento. Hablo del comienzo...

[@bzeliotis]

The orchestra are not following well at all. It's as if they're left behind most of the time. Perhaps the guitar wasn't amplified enough so the players couldn't hear him. Pavel plays very well.

[@tangotango13]

Well I have to say, if you put a 19th century (nylon strung? Originally gut strung) guitar up against a 21st century steel strung chamber orchestra the result is hardly any guitar except when he hammers it. Who was daft enough to put this together. What was the original string line up? Much smaller than this I bet and no mic for the guitar. Silly rendition of a charming piece.

[@mesqueunsub1624]

While I think it's beautiful playing, I can't help but agree with you that the guitar mic should be louder as if it was a piano piece it would be much more prominent.

[@albertomartinez2479]

The guitar is a parlour (parlor) size (bodied) guitar. Around WWI the Dreadnought size body was invented. The larger body size projected well and was louder in the days before the microphone. A parlour guitar with a small body does not project as well. The miking is part of the problem. At the least two mikes one pointed to sound hole and one at fret 12 are required. The guitar should be behind a plexiglass shield in order to isolate the instrument from the orchestra background clatter. The orchestra sound is being amplified by the guitar mike as it is not shielded or isolated from that sound. Also a bit of compression inserted in the audio path would liven up the instrument. I'll bet that live this performance was amazing. True mastery in composition and presentation.

[@yangmagic0703]

Plexiglass. Thanks for the info. I have not seen any videos with a plexiglass. What other effective methods other than a plexiglass are there?

[@Artearq7]

Estoy completamente de acuerdo contigo.

[@dhy5342]

It's impossible to give a good review of this terribly recorded/mixed version. To hear it more as it's intended seek out the versions by Pepe Romero, Narciso Yepes, or better yet by John Williams.

[@Luteplay]

Концерт написан для гитары и струнного квартета ( как и остальные его концерты), то бишь 2 скрипок, альта и виолончели! Во времена Джульяни не было как известно микрофонов. Так что сия интерпретация - полнейшая лажа и отстой!!! Хоть ты трижды на Штауфере будешь играть! The concerto is written for guitar and string quartet (like the rest of his concerts), -2 violins, viola and cello! In the era of Giuliani, there were no microphones, as you know! So this interpretation is a complete mess and sucks!!! At least you'll play the Stauffer three times!

[@AlanRPaine]

I like this piece but the orchestral introduction is incredibly long. if Mozart had written it then surely the soloist would have come in well before the 3 minute mark
