Jerome Ducharme: "Passacaglia" Joaquín Rodrigo GFA part 6

[@Friedrich664]

In my opinion this is the best interpretation by far amongst many great musicians on here. He keeps the rhythm flowing and adds darkness and colour in all the right places. Amazing artist. Love how he uses thumb and index together.

[@air_norteno3479]

i mean to

[@DrDreamdek]

A perfect version of Rodrigo's Passacaglia. Perfectly balanced, perfectly executed, perfectly intepretated. Really great phrasing and finally, a technique wich is voted to the same interpretation.

[@basileus9343]

This is by far my favourite interpretation of this piece. It wasnt the first one i have seen and didnt like the piece, but once i heard this it just clicked in my brain and its beatiful. Its a shame it doesn't have better audio quality

[@yourforte]

This is stunningly beautiful.

[@fightinboner]

This is outrageously good.

[@albaconty]

G, vraiment ma pièce préféré de ton répertoire, la fugue est superbe. Ta moustache aussi.

[@ludowicovan]

Très belle surprise de voir et écouter cette interpretation. Merci

[@ilaniaabileah]

This musician will give a Sunday afternoon 2:30 pm concert in Prevost on Feb. 11, 2018. See Diffusion Amalgamme.

[@MBledzephed]

I really like the sound of his rasqueados, and the fugue is ridiculously articulate

[@marlonguitarist]

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!

[@SoloGuitaristNet]

Thank you! You are very welcome. So humble he is, also.

[@SoloGuitaristNet]

Jerome really deserves all the thanks!

[@MacqJF]

Damn! This is amazing! Hope to see more from you one day!

[@SixStringGunSlinger]

How is ducharme not more famous...I feel like he should be held in the same light as tennant,russel and yamashita but he isnt very well known at all....fantastic musician...a real treat it is to watch this concert all the way threw.

[@arash402003]

I know I've thanked you for this before John but it just doesn't seem enough!!

[@martinfedyna]

FELICITACIONES!! Genial JEROME. Saludos desde ARGENTINA, mar del plata. Martin..

[@Budy69able]

¡¡Realmente grande, Jerome Ducharme!! Quien saca defectos pienso que es porque realmente no sabe de lo que se trata. Ésta es una de las obras más difíciles de interpretar de todas las composiciones para la guitarra, en realidad la obra completa, conocida como "Tres piezas españolas", Fandango, Passacaglia y Zapateado son obras de repertorio para virtuoso. ¡¡Y el que diga lo contrario que lo demuestre!! :)

[@TesseractOG]

There are really 5 people that disliked this video? How stupid..... I still only dream of playing like this. I think this interpretation is amazing.

[@purewater1101]

I wonder how he did that strokes (during 2:40-2:58). Can anybody help me to tell what his fingers did during that time? (you can use 'D' for downstroke, 'U' for upstroke, and 'p i m a' as usual)

[@notis977]

VERY NICE VIDEO AND BEAUTIFUL MUSIC :)))))

[@acadusle]

Incredibly hard to play! excellent video

[@everyheroandcoward]

Anyone know the fingering he uses (or one that can be used) for the counterpoint ending - 3:50 onwards? is it just p-i-p-i for the quick groups of four and then work the other fingers around that? No sneaky upstrokes with the thumb or anything? I know the notes to play just not how to do it....cheers!

[@rusticagenerica]

Why so many dissonances? Why does harmony authorize them?

[@TonyValleStevukas2014]

I would encourage all of you who love this rendition to hear the Julian Bream recording of the same piece. I believe that Bream seems to have a much better emotional "feel" for the music....

[@davidferrara1105]

+Tony Valle He doesn't play any more.

[@Rusvi1]

@delt01 There are good players who make strange faces and those who don't . I find that those who make strange faces are more in touch with what they are playing? Is that true?

[@RenardeauGuy]

He looks like a real fighter when plays the guitar

[@michaelschwarz1801]

He is just great!

[@Guitarwizardjoinme]

can you play a guitar any better than this? I think this is as good as it gets. Genius.

[@classicalguitar70]

Well, I see this is old, but I figure I might as well throw my two cents in! I have a friend who plays this piece, and I find it really depends on the interpretation. He brings the bass out a lot more (ironically, since his guitar has the best trebles on the planet) and just interprets it a bit more to my liking, and I think it is one of the greatest things out there. I think interpretation plays a bigger role in this one than the others, and it's hard to interpret well.

[@josiasgmueller]

This fughetta is the best thing Rodrigo ever wrote!

[@jorgeramirezamora]

El q toció en todos los videos!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh como lo odio!!!!

[@soullessSiIence]

The guy plays well, but can't stop noticing his "tirando" sounds extremely 'thin' compared to an "apoyado".

[@acadusle]

@Rusvi1 second that

[@NormanMac]

People who cough like that at the most sensitive and vulnerable moments of a performance, have no place in the audience and should be thrown out.

[@Aurelius27x]

@verlasse haha could they cough at a worse time?

[@OndrejVeselyguitarist]

No this movement is the best! just listen better!

[@rhoadsofoz]

Definitely a brilliantly composed piece. What i meant was out of the three its my least fav. Its just a matter of preference....and as acadusle said this piece is ridiculously hard to play. I've never come across a Rodrigo piece that wasn't hard to play.

[@toxtethogrady9343]

I hate to be negative - especially about any guitarist who has such a great technique I play this piece regularly - it is a wonderful work and the jewel of Tres Pieces Espangolas. There are rich sonorities in the piece which are lost in this reading - the counterpoint of the fugue at the end is all but lost. Why must all modern guitarists play everything "molto allegro"? There's plenty of time for that in the Zapateado!! More musicianship, be an individual! Sorry M Ducharme.

[@jeromeducharme2671]

According to the score, the composer asks for 84 bpm, the same as the fandango.

[@god77992003]

i think some people just cough to show that they are awkward to be in such a place it is ok to have physical need in such an occasion,but to cough with such a big voice is just fucking impolite

[@GuitaristConnor]

You gotta love the extra loud cough at the beginning...the most important part of a passacaglia... :(((

[@rhoadsofoz]

This guy is the real Deal! I don't really like this piece, personally i think its the weakest of the 3 (Zapateado, and Fandango being the other 2) but hey when playing a suite or 3 part movement you're not always going to like every movement...well unless i'm playing Bach BWV1006 Emajor every dance in that suite is amazing

[@acadusle]

they should ban coughers in concerts! freakin' irrotating X(

[@triviumlambofgod]

some people cant help coughing... ya know, disease and those kinda things
