Jacob Cordover plays Vals Venezolano No. 3 by Antonio Lauro on a 2008 Andrea Tacchi

[@chm1175]

Antonio Lauro was a great musical teacher, and every venezuelan should be proud of him a his work

[@raulivanalvarezcampero3613]

Yes we are proud of our great master. Maestro Lauro was a great teacher and composer. By the way, his big friend Alirio Díaz was one of the best guitarist of the world.

[@eduardojara8137]

Explosive venezuelan composer musician Antonio Lauro. I just like the way this guy does....thank you

[@romulogarcia3831]

Que impecable ejecución de Natalia, valse clásico del folclor venezolano y de cuya composición es de ese insigne musico y compositor venezolano Antonio Lauro.

[@Manu49pere]

Myself as Venezuelan , I can tell you that Jacob has played this master piece plenty of authentic Venezuelan rhythm, musical cadence, simply Amazing !!!!

[@laertesdd]

Peace to your and your people. Greetings from Germany.

Melhor interpretação que vi! Saudações do Brasil 🇧🇷

[@JuanGarnicaVera]

I can imagine the satisfaction of dominating this difficult piece and then finally enjoy it while playing it.

[@osocargm]

de poco a poco, así yo voy avanzando y en retrospectiva sí da un placer enorme darte cuenta de lo que avanzaste. Soy autodidacta principalmente pero si es necesario tomar algunas clases sobre todo para tener tips y facilitar el estudio, y se avanza más rápido

[@FreddyMorales]

And you did it. I’m Venezuelan- American. You play this great so wonderful. Congratulations

[@hokupidot3346]

It took me two years of "what in the actual fuck..." and when it clicks it's an incredible feeling. This piece is my go to example of no pain, no gain.

[@driss409]

@@hokupidot3346 Then at some point you realize that you do play the notes but it actually sounds like crap. Tone is where it's at :D

Gracias Jacob Cordover por esta bellísima, extraordinaria, maravillosa versión del vals Natalia.

This one minute piece poses technical problems that most guitarists cannot solve. Very well done, congratulations to the performer!

[@OliverWilliams1]

well put

Which bar ?

[@lsophial]

Por favor si usted encuentra problemas técnico elabore, no nos deje en el vacío!

[@Ali-bu1pw]

@@lsophial Lo que yo entendí es que está felicitando al intérprete por superar algunas dificultades técnicas que ofrece esta pieza en ciertos momentos y que la mayoría no sabe resolver. O sea, no es que la obra tenga problemas ni este artista, sino que no todo guitarrista clásico sabe tocarla como es debido porque no es una pieza facil.

[@lingrafaelluna1020]

@@Ali-bu1pw eso es correcto (Y)

[@anim8torfiddler871]

Thank you for this wonderful performance. It's one of my favorite guitar pieces, because my dear brother used to play it. He was a rock & Roller, but starting in his teens he was learning tunes by ear from LP discs -- starting with Rick Nelson and Duane Eddy, he began listening to the work of Chet Atkins, and learned tunes that had a bass line, chords in the mid-range, and melodic line floating above all. So when he heard this tune, *_HE HAD TO LEARN IT!!_* Took months of relentless patience, but he had the skill by then. Beautiful Tune. And in some ways, its beauty emerges from the way the notes flow from many of the chord fingerings You have to learn before you are advanced enough to start learning this. Yes, there are a lot of gymnastics here but moments where a series of arpeggiated chords become a melodic line.

[@oscardemiranda6572]

Jacob, this reminds me of the sounds I heard during my studies with Segovia. This was played at the highest achievable expression for a classical guitarist. A Masterclass performance! Our Lord has Blessed you. So move on, the winds will guide you and all will be provided.

[@charlesr.5718]

Played Flawlessly!!!

[@eduardoaquilesparra8103]

Así es como tiene que ser,..una suave brisa que pasa acariciando el pelo de Natalia, las cuerdas le dicen dulces palabras que la sonrrojan. Sorprendente la carga poética de esta excelsa melodía. Véritablement un chef-d'œuvre. .

[@SmarthinEric]

A man of focus, commitment, sheer will.

[@julianburitica651]

Magnificent performance. No more words.

[@elluisito000]

As a Venezuelan, one that invested a lot of time studying Lauro and his work, i can say this is one of the best versions I have heard, good speed, terrific nuances :D Thanks!

[@jcariasj]

Same thought bro!

[@laertesdd]

Peace to you and your people. Greetings from Germany.

[@castor5001]

This beautiful peace most of guitar players play it to fast. I like it

[@randytraverse3643]

Yeah dude. Just absolutely beautiful.

[@raffitorossian6994]

A giant guitarist... I was interested in the base melody and you did it in an excellent way....Million bravo.....Antonio Lauro is a giant composer and so you are a giant guitarist. Thanks for uploading.

[@kolea]

I've never heard this piece played so beautifully before in all respects. Magnificent performance.

[@LuisBurke]

A beautiful piece from Maestro Lauro exquisitely executed. Wonderful!

[@brentonchattin]

This version really captures the rubato of the piece as it was intended to be played. Brilliant

[@MarkInLA]

Wha ??? There's no intended rubato ! Slowing a tad is due only to extremely physically demanding LH fingering.. Otherwise it's in strict time/tempo...

[@illbeback126]

Listening to this quietly sitting in a sunny Windsor Great Park with beautiful vistas of English countryside and not a soul in sight. Cannot get much better than this 💕

[@gordonpage1]

Jo Biden Sounds very very nice. Me? I’m sitting in my living room looking out at the Tuscan countryside as I listen to this. Raining heavily, but still spectacular. Ciao!

[@illbeback126]

Gordon Cyberswally Greetings! The sun will shine again in Tuscany 😊 Your location brings back memories of my younger days, good food and wine and great countryside! Make sure you drink a glass of good wine for me while listening to more beautiful music!

[@gordonpage1]

Jo Biden Ha! I couldn’t resist butting in with my boastful comment. My Italian wife (I’m Scottish) opens a bottle of local wine (Chianti) on a Sunday, and it normally lasts until wed or thu. I’m a single malt whisky man - good quality, small amounts. You can see a small vid of my current collection on my channel. The bar’s always open, if you’re passing Siena......

[@jonathonx.coudrille6390]

Beautiful phrasing and tone production. Masterly.

[@carriehiggs]

He got the 3 beat G in bar 28 with that stretch AND YOU DIDN’T EVEN SHOW US IT IN CLEAR VIEW. I’m so sad 😭 but this is amazing 🤩 very ✨ dramatique ✨

[@JacobCordoverGuitar]

You noticed! That makes all the effort practising the stretch worthwhile. Thank you! 😏😊☺️

[@AndreiPuhach]

The cameraman was simply jealous I guess

[@xcaluhbration]

@@JacobCordoverGuitar well done, brother. I was having a bad day and this just lifted me.

[@daveleoni2683]

Love the rubato then a tempo in third section

[@abdrazeknakhli1274]

true that stretchy part is insane i feel like my hand is tearing up

[@jacquelinebergmann313]

What à wonderful player !

[@JacquelineCleroux]

Jacob Cordover is my favourite rendition of this waltz because it has emphasis on just the right places. It is superb and I know it is difficult to play because of its' speed and that there is great distace between one part and another. Antonio Laura imparts great joy, love and great passion composing this vals. Such pleasure and I never tire of Jacob's sureness and A. Lauro's abilities in describing emotion through music.

[@por1millon]

Definitely the best Lauros vals n 3 version I have heard .Bravissimo!!

[@felixaleman7357]

Me encanta la interpretación de ese bello vals venezolano, de nuestro recordado maestro Lauro.

ANTONIO LAURO, FROM CIUDAD BOLÍVAR, VENEZUELA. KING OF CLASSIC GUITAR COMPOSING.

[@cesarluiszabloskymoyano498]

Obra musical muy delicada. Muy buena interpretación. Excelente sonido de la guitarra. Hermoso.

[@slrojasc9612]

Que increíble, con respeto a muchos venezolanos que tocan esta pieza de manera genial, y otros tantos al deredor en el mundo, esta pudiera ser la mejor versión de yutube, después claro, de la su creador. (el maestro Lauro) Aunque algunos pudieran alegar que esos pocos sonidos de los dedos en el traste, menoscaba su calidad, no es así, ya que lo que importa es el sentimiento que trasmite y fue tan emotiva que casi lloro. Saludos desde Caracas.

[@johntenr2651]

I agree one of the best versions of Natalia on youtube

[@juancarodriguez7134]

Que sonido amigo de los trastes amigo, es tecnicamente una ejecución perfecta

[@raulivanalvarezcampero3613]

Muy buena versión, no se discute. En lo personal disfruto mucho la versión del maestro John Williams, muy parecida en cuanto a la velocidad de esta ejecución (quizá ligeramente más rápida). El maestro Alirio Díaz qepd la hacía excelente pero muy rápida. Y totalmente de acuerdo con usted, la mejor versión es la del maestro Lauro.

[@rkatz0]

Wow...what a great player...hopefully no one thinks he woke up one morning and could play like that!
