La Catedral

[@felicitykhan8912]

This is still my favorite performance of la Catedral. I’ve been coming back here every so often for years to hear it again.

[@tattarrrrattat]

Agreed Felicity. I haven't been back in years and...woah!

[@samstern4483]

Same

[@damanyou]

same here as well. was Inspiration since 12 years

[@hoysimple]

the same! ♡☆

[@gilbertonascimento2540]

Mine too!

[@2andretripicchio]

The most impressive executed "La Catedral" I have ever seen, among over 100s of performances. Simply Magnificent.

[@flavioprieto5556]

+Bobby Fischer agreed!

[@stevenburton4966]

I completely agree, better than old recordings of barrios himself, better interpretation and lack of very subtle minor mistakes vidovic and john williams make. no one can hold a candle to this performance.

[@whatthecello42]

Well he did win like fifteen competitions.

[@pondusdiei2141]

Tout à fait d'accord !

[@guitarsoul1129]

agree

[@antoniottota8218]

Esecuzione più bella e perfetta che io abbia mai sentito.Grande maestro Denis Azabagic.Auguri.

I'm a classical guitarist and have watched this video multiple times as I am currently learning this piece to add to my repertoire, but this guy is the best I've found on youtube as to how this piece is meant to be played. He is a real craftsman of the guitar! So perfect, I hope to one day reach even close to this level.. For now I will just listen and enjoy the beautiful music played by a real master :)

[@aldoiron1715]

Good luck on your journey

[@TheLoopProductions]

I am 15 right now and I played Julia Florida by Mangore a few years ago. I put down the classical guitar for a couple years and now I am learning this piece. It inspired me to continue playing classical guitar. I didn't realize how much I missed it until now :)

[@patrickcahel6107]

The Loop Productions Good for you! I am glad to hear that you went back to it. I hope you will be an example for others.

[@patrickcahel6107]

I agree!

[@GabrielDuduenkoEduardo]

Totally agree, in all KZbin and live performances I've been, I have not encountered such a masterful interpretation. This master of the art plays it the way it's mean to be played, or even better, I'd summon a specialist to judge that.

[@paulikonfire3]

Best La Catedral I've heard in my entire life. This is some serious talent and technique just Wow

[@ponylover9196]

no way - its been played too rushed

[@sargijapunk]

Actually I have never heard anybody els to have this dynamic range and sublime control over tempo in this piece as Denis, and I own several hundred of recordings and have heard countless youtube recordings.

[@MiskoKatua]

This is my reference to La Catedral! It's too good! Always a pleasure to listen and watch it

[@kennethbransford820]

@@ponylover9196 agreed

[@tylers2889]

@@sargijapunk Yes, despite the fact that he plays it faster than most other performances I've seen, he still has such mastery of tone, tempo, volume and balance between melody and harmony. Moreso than many who play this piece slower. I do think it's a tad bit too fast but I still I love this performance

[@steveedwards4774]

The best i have ever heard. Most people struggle with the 3rd section. He plays it with ease. Well done !

[@ardendouglas]

Not only is this a brilliant interpretation, but he's an incredibly kind person. I had a lesson a year and a half before my audition at CCPA and he did it for free. He invited us to come to his house for the lesson, and when we arrived he came to the door in gym shorts and a white shirt. He was wonderful, and I got so much out of the one hour lesson we had. He even called us after we returned home to talk about my options. For someone so talented, it's a miracle he's as down-to-earth as he is.

[@jamescwolf]

There are no words to describe this performance. It's Fantastic !!! It's powerful and passionate, yet flowing and graceful. It is transcendant.

[@cawabunga360]

And may i add that the people in charge of sound and recording did an incredible job. It makes a huge difference when you can hear the guitar clearly resonate im all its glory and projection. It is rare to find such a great recording quality

[@scherzo0o]

the three parts of the La Catedral, in a single film, have been on youtube for years and they suddenly dissapered at a point. I hereby salute the republishing of the whole suite in a single film! Thanks!

[@tortue34170]

The most beautiful guitar piece i've ever found... The most impressive interpretation i've ever heard.. I have listened for your song some years ago, and i'm still stunned in front of your mastering. Thank you man for this performance !

[@TomásRobertoMartínez]

Increíble! Excelente interpretación,, yo diría que la mejor que he escuchado, mis respetos para usted Maestro, saludos desde Oaxaca, México

[@ZalMoxis]

Another example of the amazing capacity of human spirit personified in the composition as well as the performance.... Bravo !!

[@alexcalderon3089]

Oh boy I just love his technique and musicality....absolute perfection!

[@EdgeOfEnding]

Really unhealthy to watch this video when you try to learn the song

[@tattarrrrattat]

Great comment. Absolutely. Just don't do it...maybe after a few years.

[@dwhfrost]

As an amateur classical guitarist (see my channel) I've probably watched this 100x. This performance is masterful and as close to perfection as can be achieved. A monumental effort; I don't know why it hasn't been viewed millions of times.

[@Marco-br3mi]

His right hand scare the shit out of me, IT S NOT MOVING, i don t know how many time and tears he put in his work to achieve this, but this is beyond the impressive

[@yossimaguy9094]

After scouring KZbin in search of a good performance and satisfactory sound of this piece, I reached the final station. All respect and thanks.

[@AndrewSantosGplus]

One of the best plays that song. Few can play it without rhythm problems.

[@jakubminarik8141]

Mr Azabagić, you are simply fantastic, thank you.

[@cellular.opioid]

Slow doesnt necessarily mean melancolic, and fast doesnt necessarily mean Happy. The prelude is played astoundingly. He managed to show the motions of the piece without playing it slowly. I prefer this interpretation.Since there are great jumps of distance betwen notes, playing it slowly would kill it.

[@onyikabogya]

This is the best playing the "La Catedral" what I ever seen!

[@kokun8057]

Fantastic!! Your right hand so powerful!!

[@alexandrebarbosadacunha1498]

Eu prefiro John Willians

[@oudaifouzi1873]

I don't know why there is too much dislike on this video. .!! They can do better they think? ? A Million like for this guitarist. this is my master piece

[@rareangel643]

because the prelude is too fast, perhaps .

[@MarkInLA]

Ángel Durden No ! It's that your so called brain is too slow !

[@aadigard85]

The prelude was also a bit too fast to my taste but it clearly not justifies a dislike. That guy is clearly a master. Would love to take a lesson

[@gonzalezjulien8530]

Magnifique, bravo, quel voyage

[@scientia_potentia_est]

perfect execution, perfect changes in dynamics and not a single missed note in the 3rd movement; his performance is the true religious experience lol wow!

[@megacosmic6507]

Absolutely stunning. The dynamics are sublime, the best performance I've seen by far.

[@J-Dizzle95]

Absolutely outstanding. Sublime. Superb. Bravo!!

Talking about interpretation - I think anybody with a ear must have noticed this guy's interpretation is one of the BEST, no matter who you compare to~~ Bravo~~~

[@TheMonksDuo]

This is the most flawless performance I’ve ever seen in my life and the intensity in your playing is mind blowing!!!!

[@elverdaderosol]

Qué bárbaro!!! Alguna vez logré interpretar ésta joya con los ojos cerrados, sin embargo, me quedé a años luz!!!! 10 estrellas!!!!

[@AlexHand]

I met Denis at one of his concerts in Reno, NV about 10 years ago. I was a guitar student in my undergraduate program then and he was really nice and gave me tips about how he does his nails, etc. I was impressed with his performance and down to earth personality.

[@supraxtrem]

I added this video on my favourites since it is on KZbin, can't be atleast 1 week without seeing it and every time Denis Azabagic amazes me with his mastery on the classical guitar. Trully a genious, pure soul in his playing. Simply Amazing!

[@alexitcruz]

This is the very best interpretation that i have listened, Denis Azabagic is a Master

[@ereskoag]

Именно ваше выступление заслуживает высшей оценки. Сколько слушаю и с каждым прослушиванием все больше нравится. Обидно видеть отрицательные отзывы. На что я однажды и сделал комментарий на слушателя. Уточняю, т.к. этот отзыв воспринял играющий гитарист в свой адрес. При красивом исполнении только завистники могут голосовать "не нравиться". Удачи, ждем новые исполнения.

[@Chagsis]

This is incredible. Its like every note is a stroke of a paintbrush, and through the course of a piece he paints a picture. One of my new goal is to at some point in my life be half as talented as this guy. Amazing.

[@GeneralPadron]

Because of the poor sound quality.

[@GeneralPadron]

Try Ana Vidovic's version.

[@leogoran]

Joseph Padron I've heard both, Ana is absolutely amazing, but I still really enjoy this performance. From what I've heard, I believe people disliked the video because it was broken up into 3 takes which I guess is understandable.

[@leogoran]

Leviathan Cerebrate Personally, I disagree. I heard Nicholas, and he is fabulous. But I felt that Denis had used much more power and dynamics, especially in the last movement. But that's just my opinion. At the end of the day, humanity has given us wonderful guitarists that can please all of our ears :D

[@smise]

Absolutely flawless and Stunning performance. Really enjoyed it!

Good Holy Green Earth of God, why have I not heard of you yet? This is AMAZING!!! Words are not enough for how incredible this performance is. Not anywhere near enough. I love this piece and up to now, David Russell was the only one to put tears in my eyes when he plays it. But now......who can compare perfection to perfection? This is a prayer, and a masterful, one-of-a-kind performance. Thank you for the inspiration and beauty...thank you, thank you, and thank you yet again! BRAVO!
