[@djneverblock7300]

not flawless. but really good.

[@ali965]

This is by far one of the best classical pieces I’ve ever heard in my life. So melancholy and mysterious. You and John Williams did it justice but all credit goes to the artist himself, Carlo Domeniconi

[@mayusu6008]

This is unbelievably beautiful and inspiring. Musician: discipline and deep connection + Composer with limitless imagination = 14 minutes of bliss!

[@franksabatino7576]

This stunning music feels like it comes from a world where creative genius is in the water supply. I wish it were possible to live there.

It is. He's from the same place that we all are. You have to relax and find a little time each day to figure out how to express yourself, the rest figures itself out.

If you’d like to walk through the pearly gates of Heaven some day, then you must place all your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ’s death, burial and resurrection to cleanse away your sins. I hope to see you up there someday!

Its true we all have acces to the infinite well of creative potencial the difference is how much time effort and passion you invest in exercising your creativity just like a muscle but meditation helps alot too

Great audience for great player

[@omedhani3347]

That applaud at the end, while well deserved, was super loud it freaked me out lol

[@DavesTreeFarm]

He's so good with that guitar because it's the same one he used to play when he was a baby.

[@AnastasiaMusicPls]

So impressed. I like it. I heard many performances of Koyunbaba and could tell you like a musician to musician: It is great.

[@erickonigsdorfer544]

Brandon, I really think that you musically absolutely nailed it, here. Thank you!

[@RusTsea196T]

When tuning the guitar is as artistic as the gorgeously played piece.....

[@cmeimgee]

great recording of a top-notch performance of a beautiful piece! Thanks!

[@GordonZoot]

The 'Presto ' is one of my favourite guitar pieces, a real treat to hear you play it - thanks :) Also, it was great to see you in the shred collab along with so many gifted luminaries including the amazing Michael Angelo Batio, it made my day.

[@timothyzelensky383]

That applause at the end was so loud it hospitalized me

[@andrewgrant9782]

Beautiful! Your performance of Koyunbaba is so involving: just put my headphones on, close my eyes and be transported. Thank you.

[@fourquartets7900]

I watched Milos Karadaglic play this piece in concert from the fourth row in 2011. He was fantastic, but this is better, more dramatic, more exotic, more exciting. The guitar sound is more varied and expressive, unearthly. Marvelous, thanks.

[@rafie1953]

Beautiful piece of classical music and one of my most favorite . Played masterfully .

[@aggelosmastorakis3321]

You said a very beautiful story with this interpretation Brandon. Thank you ❤

[@MinhGuitarPassion]

You played this piece perfect! BRAVISSIMO

[@bears8265]

God bless you for this masterpiece! I was struggling with afternoon schoolwork and this is the perfect piece to listen to whenever I want a 13-minute nap. The playing is incredible, and the storming ovation wakes me up everytime!

[@ash6415]

[@danielb1526]

This is the best interpretation I've ever seen. Incredible dynamics in the Cantabile! Incredible performance! just wow!

[@christophercolumbus8944]

lil jie nailed it and she did it 20 years ago

[@caiocysneiros]

look for Paulo Martelli's interpretation. You won't regret it.

[@TheReservoirduck]

I think Declan Zapala's performance of Presto is the best on youtube

[@Synonomous]

Epic performance! But you knew that. All by heart. Brilliant.

[@ievgenaznaurov]

Thank you Brandon! Beautiful! Perfectly spent 14 minutes and 10 seconds on KZbin!

[@hjr2450]

The crowd at the end blew out my ears.

[@phillipjameson2599]

Does anyone else listen to Brandon play and wonder how he creates such beautiful sounds? And then you play your guitar and it sounds like a banjo?

[@kathyhollenbach7413]

I have never heard this song before. How lovely. Thank you for this most beautiful song. You're playing is so very moving.👏👏👏👏👏❤

[@kipponi]

I find this beautiful song today. It surely is one of the hardest to play.

[@flowerchylde13]

This is one of my favorite classical guitar pieces, thanks for sharing!

[@ErikBrakkee]

Finally, an interpretation without all these extreme ritardando's and accelerando's. It is much better this way with subtle tempo variations

[@Ivan1burnf4ces]

just say rubato

[@jamesrawlings5781]

@@Ivan1burnf4ces Ironic, given how often people talk about the unifying power of music, that for you it just inspires nitpicking.

[@Ivan1burnf4ces]

@@jamesrawlings5781 good musicians have to nitpick :)

[@xhonshehu9703]

Li Jie made a excellent interpretation also

[@nicholassheridan7010]

James Rawlings if you were educated in music you would know that this is not nit picking, it is using the correct term, like How the use of variations is used incorrectly in these messages, because playing with rubato is a style of playing in the romantic era as so is the bass line demonstrated in the video

[@heyarche]

jesus christ the applause at the end scared the shit out of me

[@brucewells1961]

Wonderful performance! I loved how used space/silence during your performance. Also, i appreciated how you didn't play the piece as if you were at the Indy 500. I've listened to several performances of this piece by world class players and this is by FAR my favorite performance.

[@sukursukran6045]

Beautiful

[@Foghorn90]

Wow that was incredible. I have seen this guy play so many difficult pieces. Im just stunned at the level this guy is on. Superb!

[@bdamatoglu]

I am from Turkey and my father is from a small province where this Koyunbaba (an alewite islam saint) had lived. The issue they don't understand is, how Carlo Domenico is influenced by Koyunbaba? Koyunbaba died aroun 600 years ago. So interesting..

[@murattaner7384]

Carlo herhalde Bodrum Gümüşlük Yalıkavak arasındaki Koyunbaba koyundan esinlenmiştir

+Brandon J. Acker thank you for your kind reply. I'm studying this piece so I found your performance very interessing from a didactic point of view as well, but it is very interesting from the point of view of musicality and interpretation.
