La Catedral - Agustin Barrios Mangore

Preludio saudade
Adante religioso
Allegro solemne

[@KungFuMaster1972]

I've listened to many performances of this piece and I must say this performance is the cleanest. The tone in the first movement is heavenly.

[@t44e6]

Listen to Alexander Sergei Ramirez

[@IsraelRodriguez-gj2gw]

Mangoré es mi favorito. Sus restos permanecen en mi patria El Salvador.

[@desideriomartinez409]

Saludos desde el ingrato Paraguay, gracias por tenerlo ahí, fue un adelantado....

[@andrewyang7968]

I dreamt of being a guitarist, watching this video in my childhood. Glad that it still remains beautiful.

[@boyoungseo]

He is Shinichi Hukuda, a famous Japanesse classic guitar player. I like his strong touch and passion for a guitar

[@danielmassey3732]

I must have watched this hundreds of times. What an incredible performace. Amazing!

[@heruilin]

This gentleman is simply an outstanding musican. Bravo! Bravo!

[@desideriomartinez409]

Felicidades maestro un lujo escuchar su interpretación, el maestro estaría feliz de escucharlo, saludos desde Paraguay

[@spitta3209]

Maâ pio ko tesa'i koa. Ombopu porâ katu ko tapicha koa. Che nda mbopuiva la mbaraka, upeare ha'e hina la añepyrũtaha koa ko katedran oje'eha. Neimante

[@HGozzer]

all notes played so clean! it's wonderful! I love the Preludio...

[@rafaellopesneto4949]

Espetacular. E a história de vida desse interprete é de se emocionar. (Superação)

[@danielmorais2811]

It's the best performance of this piece!!! Congratulations!!!

[@eliasgibbons]

viva paraguay carajo.. :')

[@AV85]

It's amusing watching people give "constructive criticism", considering this video was recorded in the late 70s, early 80s, and it's by Shinichi Fukuda, an accomplished japanese guitarist.

[@gtjhuang]

After listening to classical guitar all my life, I thought I have heard the best music and performance already. But not until I heard this one and played by this guitarist. It is a sound beyond this existing space.

[@babbaluceB354A]

This guy plays fantastic, I really do not understand people when they say sounds like an etude, I don't really think so, they just envy him. I really wish to this guy all the best!

[@KungFuMaster1972]

La Catedral IMO is Barrios' best accomplishment. As a guitarist, when you think of Barrios you automatically think of La Catedral. This piece has withstood the test of time and will continue to withstand the test of time. I personally feel La Catedral is one of the best, if not the best, pieces for the classical guitar. I myself have played this piece and it was a milestone for me to just learn it and play it decently. The piece requires most, if not all, the elements of guitar playing.

[@RunningJuan]

BEST version on La Catedral. But that's might be my problem, I bought his CD recorded this piece, I guess the emotion is totally different from playing in the video in old time. How lucky that this moment was kept.

[@rubecordura333]

Que te pasa loco la mejor es la de jon wiliams papaaaaaa

[@herederosolar]

¡Magistral! ¡Bravo desde México!

[@QUESTANOTTE88]

INCREIBLE.M DEJO SIN PALABRAS.

[@paulozilio2193]

Andante is incredible!!!

[@dan23el1]

es super magestuoso te admiro no se como se dice en chino pero te admiro muco eres favorito

[@gonzalezvictorjulio]

Amazingly beautiful !! What a talented guitarist!! Awesome performance!! The best one I have heard!!

[@gtjhuang]

Certainly, Fukuda's work is not that well-distributed in the US. But he is definitely on the top echelon as a classical guitar performer by just seeing this performance.

[@proberush]

he plays beautifully but the one thing that i've always come back to this version for is the purity of emotion he shows. one can see the music throughout his entire body.

[@eliesermusico]

Dankon mia kara amiko Fukuda, gxi estas tre bela muziko, Barrios estis tre inteligenta persono.

[@Thelesser.bb_k]

la mejor version que hay

[@steveb391]

Outstanding, Barrios would be pleased I believe

[@caferacla]

no me canso de escucharlo.... muy bien

[@tiis5]

just beautiful piece

[@thehuman007]

Nitsuga Mangoré, the greatest Paraguayan artist of all times!!

[@JonathanJonesWT]

Beautiful ! It's a very extraordinary song ! The player is fantastic.

[@ened123]

QUE SONIDO, QUE SENTIMIENTO, LO MEJOR NO HAY DUDA QUE AGUSTIN BARRIO-MANGORE FUE EL MEJOR COMPOSITOR PARA LA GUITARRA. ALGUN DIA VISITARE SU TUMBA Y EL MUSEO QUE ESTA EN SAN SALVADOR PARA DAR MIS RESPETOS

[@blauwgrijs79]

Absolute excellence! Thank you for sharing this wonderful music.

[@KacanuHa]

this and williams's version is the best i've heard so far. All others miss something - this is the perfect and it can't get ANY better. I hope i see him live some day...Truely a master of the guitar

[@rubecordura333]

Vose fala com muita certeza

[@OneWorld4us]

WOW !!.. I´m speachless !!... thank´s so much !!

[@Cyrloud]

Fantastic playing , one of the best vesion ever played

[@nylonstring]

well...this is what is called neat.i also play this peice at the same speed,but ur clarity is what makes u different.just check the phrasing once ...absolutly superb.

[@CristianAulestia]

que bravo este chino!!!!!

[@leog.sansampferr7499]

Parabéns e bela perfomance!

[@stockguitar]

Just Beautiful. If I ever play this piece, I will think of your tempo and glorious, rich interpretation!!

[@janber1448]

La catedral de Paraguay 💕

[@WolfgangOrpheus]

best performer of La catedral no doubt, this got rythm!!!!

[@gildohenrique]

A interpretação é comovente. No Preludio Saudade, ele capta o sentido que Agustín quis dar ao tema. O conjunto homem-sentimento-violão-músculos-expressão está perfeita.

[@marciliosousalima]

Incrivelmente limpa sua técnica.Todas as notas extremamente limpas! Volume e equilíbrio rítmico incríveis.Equilíbrio na execução. Gosto muito dessas interpretações menos romãnticas. Parabéns!!!!

[@peternauta]

MARAVILLOSO!!!

[@AntonBaryshnikov]

Здорово, хлопци! Звиняйте, що по русски)))) Я тут этих "Соборов" штук 15 прослушал, включая исполнителей с известными фамилиями: Анна Видович, Джон Вильямс, Пепе Ромеро. Но это японский мальчик меня удивил! На мой взгляд - это пока лучшее исполнение из всех выложенных здесь!!!!!!!!!

[@slevinlaine]

Man, it's just beautiful. I cannot express how beautiful it is to the way you play that piece. Cheers man. I'm listening to it over and over again.

[@pabloira]

magnifico!!

[@pacoray]

Magnificent... Bravo!!

[@alkssmith9762]

Bravo, one of few performances in right tempo!

[@NoName_NoTitle]

It's so sad that awesome musicians like he does not have so much money like those soulless and crappy mtv pop musicians.

[@pantolininielsen]

rules..best interpretetion ever...

[@TheDogfairy]

Brilliant and beautifully felt....you understand the piece well! Why have I not heard of you yet? Well, I have now, and I won't forget! Inspiring performance.

[@chinderr]

Just can't get over it

[@Fgoliveira85]

This is certainly one of the best versions of La Catedral i´ve ever seen! I like the ones of David Russel, Raphael Rabello a well..

[@Z5LA5H]

Every guitar player in the world can improve. And the good thing about classical guitar and players like the one in this video is you know that they are working. The problem is that there are a lot of annoying guitarist who feel that they need to give a master class in each video, just because they can play and "know" about music. Offering they're criticisms and opinions as if the players in the videos aren't receiving it from the teachers...

[@EmuwuNora]

4:37 is my favourite part. I just love this piece. True Beauty it is!

[@pascalealbertini7508]

Bravo ! Fantastique !

[@masterfabian1]

SUPER , CON MAESTRIA

[@vincentpriolet]

exellent !!! merci

[@canonmj]

Judged by the quality of this video and the player's name, I am guessing he lives in Vietnam. One has to admire someone who may not have the resources we have, such as a good teacher and insturement, and still play so beautifully. I hope you can read English, Mr. Lam, because you are a gifted player and I hope more people will discover your talents.

[@BochkovAlexey]

Согласен полностью с AntonBaryshnikov, лучшее на мой взгляд исполнение Собора на Ютубе!!! VERY BEST!!!

[@paull6758]

This video inspired me a lot when I was first playing the guitar years ago. For me the tempo of the 3rd movement is nice and even, unlike some others who rush the beginning and slow down in the scales. John Williams plays with even steadier tempo but slower. Btw, the performer is a top notched japanese pro. I got a chance to listen to Fukuda live. He was wonderful.

[@victorsamanezore6341]

He visto este video hace 9 años y es una de las mejores ejecuciones que oí

[@victorsamanezore6341]

El primero que vi sobre este majestuoso

[@victorsamanezore6341]

Sin-Ichi Fukuda

[@KungFuMaster1972]

Except for that one noticeable stumble where he lost his place, the performance was great. Well done.

[@magnusea]

I am absolutely spellbound. First time on KZbin. I guess solomonyork is right in the 3rd comment: "Wonderful, technically outstanding and very expressiv". I'm in lack of words. Outstanding musicallity!

[@Isr431100]

fantastic!!!!!!

[@LumberjackHands]

Must admit that is an awesome performance. He does bring the bass and lead voices out in the preludio clearly opposed to the legions who played it here on KZbin bringing only lead voice out. 5 stars!

[@scottydangerous]

This music touches my soul.

[@jollyright4643]

Wow, incredible! Absolutely fluid. How does one ever achieve that?

[@MarianQuiver]

MAGNIFICO !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@clearlynotstefan]

Excellent!

[@tremolo34]

The best performance I've ever seen of this piece! WOW! The Allegro was almost too fast, but that may just be because I can't play it that fast XD. Every note perfectly struck...Amazing.

[@threestrikesmarxman9095]

I was just a child when the stars fell from the skies, but I remember how we built a cannon to destroy them, and in turn, how that cannon brought war upon us. War was an abstract idea, nothing more than a show on TV. As a child, I always saw it as happening on some faraway land, until on that final day of summer.

[@titeyful]

no inventes que jodones son los orientales para la musica y que padre saber tocar asi y sentir tanta pasion por lo que haces simplemente me encanta como con sus gestos demuestra que siente la cancion es serio mis respetos para este chavo!!

[@arckolicko]

La canción es de un señor peruano, q es un dios de la guitarra., este amigo la intérpreto exelente

[@mriveraucelo]

beautiful, kinda sounds like a piano... im so learning this song, hope i can pull it off half as good as this guy

[@tomasemilio]

beautiful my friend, superior performance

[@gildohenrique]

Bravo!

[@RodrigoOrihuela]

BRAVO!

[@lhendrixbr]

i agree with your words, but remember, money help sometimes, but talent is a gift that does not choose race, religion or financial situation, that is a gift that can appear in any place

[@freemantemani]

BEST OF THE BEST

[@waitakere2009]

His name is Shin-ichi Fukuda. He is Japanese pro-guitar player and also is professor of Kaori Muraji.

[@TheHuuhao]

Quá nhiều cảm xúc ! tiếng đàn vừa ngọt ngào vừa thổn thức, vừa hy vọng lẫn tuyệt vọng, vừa mãnh liệt vừa đằm thắm. Tiếng đàn của Shichini Fukuda quả là đặc biệt.

[@nonexponential]

Superb!

[@Utubesuxmycock]

omg insane playing beautiful....infallible technique

[@JoelJuanQuiPiano]

Omedetou Gozaimasu.!!!

[@sams2190]

it's the best performance for me

[@Alexoferith]

@gallito1010 The performer's name is Shinichi Fukuda. He is a Japanese born in Osaka.

[@raysoltanian3584]

Fantastic Player!

[@Flamencanta]

beautiful my mate(:

[@Shiralak]

hey , this dude is awesome

[@peterreimerMannaufderBank]

Best version of the 3rd movement I could find - perhaps Tilmann Hoppstocks early recording comes close to this.

[@pabloira]

amazing!!

[@DaniloSalerno]

Bravo! :)

[@gtjhuang]

All three movements represent the best possible guitar music can reach. Especially the first movement, just sublime. All other great guitar musics become just a pop music in front of this one. Why this piece is seldom performed by most so called guitar virtuosos?

[@jos852]

Just beautyful. good play

[@timothydarylward]

One day I will be able able to play this.

[@ModeaMoxa]

amazing !

[@macedo300]

very well played

[@moldoc64]

i agree with chrisdewitte. The resonance of each note is best heard here,chaque note jouée laisse la précédente décroitre exactement comme l'exige le morceau.
