La Valse D'Amelie ( Yann Tiersen ) - 200 Guitars LIVE at Megaron Athens ( 7-3-15 )

Υπό την καθοδήγηση του Βαγγέλη Μπουντούνη 200 κιθαριστές με σολίστ την Μάρω Ραζή διασκεύασαν μουσικές από τον κινηματογράφο (Nino Rota, Maurice Jarre, Yann Tiersen κ.λ.π ) , καθώς και παραδοσιακή μουσική από την Ελλάδα , την Ισπανία , το Μεξικό την Ιρλανδία αλλά και τον Μάνο Χατζιδάκι .
Η συναυλία πραγματοποιήθηκε στο Μέγαρο Μουσικής Αθηνών στις 7 Μαρτίου 2015 στο πλαίσιο του εορτασμού των 20 χρόνων κοινωνικής προσφοράς της «Μέριμνας»
Eδώ οι κιθαριστές διασκευάζουν την μουσική του Yann Tiersen που έγραψε για την ταινία " Amelie "
To απόσπασμα από το κονσέρτο που παραθέτω εδώ ηχογραφήθηκε με μια κάμερα Panasonic HC-X920 σε μια απόσταση 150 μέτρα περίπου από την ορχήστρα.
Απολογούμαι για τυχόν προβλήματα στον ήχο και στην εικόνα.
****
Under the direction of Vangelis Boudounis, 200 guitarists with solist Maro Razi performed music from the cinema (Nino Rota, Maurice Jarre, Yann Tiersen etc.), traditional music from Greece, Spain, Mexico, Ireland and also Mano Hadjidakis.
The concert took place at the Athens Concert Hall ( Megaro ) on March 7, 2015 in the context of the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the organization “Merimna”.
Here the guitarists adapt the music of Yann Tiersen who wrote for the movie "Amelie"
This part of the concert was recorded with a Panasonic HC-X920 camera approximately 150 meters from the orchestra.
I apologize for any problems in sound and image.

[@PhilJonesIII]

It's a great effort and was a lot of work. It's what musicians do best. But this simply does not work. If you like it then, good for you. I think it sucks and the leader should have known the outcome before even starting. And yes, I play classical guitar.

[@lmarsh5407]

@@PhilJonesIII im just curious, what do you think is not right about it. I think it's calming, maybe because i wasn't expecting anything, but what do you think the mood and execution is like. I know you said you dont like it. But im just wondering if it's purely difference of opinion or wether it's point of view.

[@PhilJonesIII]

@@lmarsh5407 Firstly, I know well enough the kind of time and effort that went into this production. No way am I knocking that. I just don't think it was very wise. Back in the 80s, when I was learning the guitar, I used a Kimbara which is a good-enough brand. My teacher used a model of similar quality. We spent several months of lessons to practice a Vivaldi piece to play at a concert. The day arrived and he shows up, not with his practice guitar but, with a Ramirez. We tuned the guitars together before going on stage but it was clear that despite the tuning, I was playing a pub-piano and he a Steinway-grand. Poor Vivaldi must have turned in his grave that night because the result can be best described in the words of the late-great Ivor Cutler, "Syncopated hiccups." I wanted to die but not before opening up Vivaldi's grave and begging his forgiveness. It had been three minutes of torture and to this day, I never understood how my teacher could have failed to anticipate the problem. He did acknowledge later that the Ramirez might have been a mistake. Both instruments would have made the grade alone. Together, they sounded awful. Classical Guitars can work well in small groups together but at the cost of limiting the potential range of the individual guitars. Some are naturally louder, have more depth and resonance. Those differences can even be exploited where each guitar has its part. In a group as large as this, then you limit potential expression way too much. Also, I was on the edge of my seat, just waiting for some long-practiced section to just die. That would have been enough to crush some of the players involved. I know that feeling and that's why it made me uncomfortable.

[@lmarsh5407]

@@PhilJonesIII Thanks! Its hard to come up with a reply so i'll just thank you again for the great reply. I understand you now. I dont have as much experience with guitars(none) so i guess my ears can be called a bit more naïve.

Sentia que tenia nuevamente dieciséis años y que era libre, que estaba en el patio de mi casa descalzo y el suelo era fresco. Mi guitarra estaba esperándome en el cuarto, sacarla del forro era emocionante. El olor de la guitarra es mágico, sientes las cuerdas, al afinarla el corazón palpita mas fuerte. Mi casa es grande, y mi guitarra es como una amiga que duerme en un rincón y que espera para que hablemos todos los dias. Claro ya pasó mucho tiempo, pero este concierto me acuerda esos dias en los que era libre.
