@Manas Ralli thanks!

[@Mussul]

god, that's what I call a single-person duet. Amazing.

[@payambehtash7124]

this piece is insanely hard and she performed it while producing sounds with studio mixing quality. I worship your talent, your dedication your productivity and everything

[@Moon______Jiiiiiii]

Woww this is so good! Don't be like a pray smooth like a like a snake~

[@haile-xn6uv]

if you look in the album it says it contains an interpolation from this song

[@carmelagarcia2208]

St S. Oh wow i expected that..

[@HalJikaKick]

How does she play this with only two hands?! My god!!

[@johndevilbiss6607]

At first i thought it was Cover... (!)

[@denparrish]

Now that I've viewed this video at least 50 times in the past 2 months, time to comment: Truly one of the most beautiful performances I've ever seen. Bravo!!

[@GoharVardanyan]

+Dennis Parrish Thank you very much :) I guess it must be you driving the views up :)

[@denparrish]

+Gohar Vardanyan you're so welcome! This performance has become my morning coffee! :-)

[@wno1043]

Not just Dennis. I have to listen to your videos over and over again myself! So inspiring! I usually listen to a few right before I begin my practice.

[@leylandtree2814]

Ghoar è una delle chitarriste più preparate e espressive dei nostri tempi. Credo che rimarrà una delle migliori.

[@samanthawu623]

you are amazing when playing the guitar. Thank you for inspiring the track "LIE" sang by jimin. respect

[@pianoman631]

Jaw dropping... Have seen this played on two guitars... But to hear it played so richly on one... Talent defies belief.

[@wakefieldyorkshire]

Good god this girl is amazing. To think it usually takes two guitars in the hands of two proficient musicians to achieve this. Outstanding musicianship.

[@infledermaus]

Check out Evan Marshall. He's a mandolinist who has perfected the duo style. He always sounds like there are two mandolinists playing. Look for his transcription of Rossini's William Tell Overture. He has a degree in musical performance in violin, but he loves mandolin. He plays violin but rarely on stage. When I've seen him play violin, I've been stunned. He's superb at both.

[@GoharVardanyan]

For everyone asking about the arrangement, I used Keigo Fujii's arrangement which is available in a PDF form online if you search for it. I used that as a base, but I changed a few octaves of the accompaniment, I added notes in some places and took a couple of ornaments out. I changed the part around the descending scale and changed the fingerings in a number of places. I didn't write any of it down, because it was easier to just memorize it than to write the changes.

[@hrburrell]

Gohar Vardanyan always heard this as a duet...that sounded awesome Gohar!

[@Koz_Cadaver]

Gohar Vardanyan Well played Miss Vardanyan. Sincerest applause

[@cyclops1092]

I can't tell the changes you make it sound so natural as if it was meant to be played this way. Segovia said in an interview he laughed when presented with arrangements because they were 'impossible' to play the way composer intended. Alluding to the idea that certain things had to be changed to make the piece playable. You crafted a masterful version of your own. I am in love with your playing!

[@_Chuvisco_]

Well done!

[@b.b.b.a.a.a2414]

Thank you very much beautiful teacher

[@HenryFramusValentine]

My favorite De Falla. No. My favorite classical solo piece for the last 50 years. And now, my favorite guitar performance of it. I cannot stop watching and re-watching you, Miss Vardanyan. All your videos are beyond marvelous.

[@rscannura]

Whats wrong with people? Why would you not like this?. Great technique and playing with feeling. Well done.

[@JayleenInChains]

Well it's obvious that she has the best technique but i'm not sure about the feeling part. It's on the same robotic level all the time

[@johndevilbiss6607]

Who didn't enjoy it? I know, it was TOO PERFECT.... yeah, some people don't like that :)

[@johndevilbiss6607]

@@JayleenInChains yes, she plays with strict rhythm, for the most part. I like that 💃

[@ralphjann]

@@JayleenInChains it has been played duet. she has to play with very stretched fingering while maintaining the tempo and moving along the fret. it's not easy. i see somewhere she lose the rhythm for keeping the sentence going on. it's a very difficult piece for the solo playing.

[@F20ization]

@@JayleenInChains do you also play classical guitar?

[@fhfabio]

Those 10 seconds starting at 1:30 are phenomenal! Congratulations for an outstanding performance!

[@HelloSpyMyLie]

Yes this is berserk on 2 guitars, very amazing on solo, she makes it look somewhat easy for what it is

[@chenxiaoying008]

so this is where Jimin got his inspiration...Damn good job!you nice,keep going :)

[@alfredogutierrez9580]

Es verdaderamente impresionante tu interpretación. Es una obra que originalmente Manuel De Falla escribió para orquesta. La primera versión que escuché fue la de Paco de Lucía, y me parece que tenía una segunda guitarra de acompañamiento. La segunda versión que escuché fue a dúo, por los más grandes guitarristas de finales del siglo XX: Julian Bream y John Williams. Tu interpretación reproduce la obra de De Falla de una manera nítida, impecable. Te felicito.

[@th693]

Thousands of hours of work condensed into 3 and a half glorious minutes. Beautiful playing

[@arodriyt]

Outstading!! A superb performance!

[@sashasepanloo6179]

I played this duet with my friend 10 years ago and that was so hard. but this wonderful girl played solo. wow I'm still in shock

[@Vreci]

Wow! I am happy to have found your channel ! A whole orchestra in your fingers - you are a wizard ! best regards from Austria, Wolfgang

[@palomalacerda1704]

Amazing!!

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thank you very much :)

[@joseyoldi2105]

Bravo: finalmente un intérprete que enfatiza la nota sensible (0,19: 0,21; 2,44 y 2,46) que le da el toque de genialidad a la armonía de Falla y que casi nunca se resalta, primando el ritmo trepidante a la armonía detallista. Gracias Gohar !!

[@tassoskard8157]

Came directly from TwoSetViolin! Beautiful piece!

[@frankg3rd1]

How the heck does her left hand play with such precision ....especially the ring finger and pinky ? This truly is off the charts amazing !

[@nonexponential]

Technically impressive and very expressive. Wow! - Athan

[@machiajin5591]

NAEGE MARHAE!!!! This sounds excellent. Thank ypu for inspiring BTS to use this. I dont blame them. Its very beautiful.

[@benkim2016]

Wow, who else can play this piece? John Williams? Amazing!!

[@wayneherron6511]

Wow! I first heard this piece it was played as a duet. It was hard enough for 2 players, it must be insanely difficult for 1. Bravo.

[@notsydbarrett]

Life is brief. That we are not diminished by the brevity of our lives, that is the thing. Well done, Miss Vardanyan

[@gordonduff22]

Wow. I'm listening to it again. I love the energy you give to this piece. Played crisply and at the required tempo: quickly and lively. The strums are strong, forceful, and wild! A very nice piece from a compositional standpoint that is played confidently and with brio.

[@GoharVardanyan]

Thank you very much :)

[@Deoku0627]

your guitar is perfect and jimin's lie is good with your guitar :)

[@jesus7357]

Finally one that puts that Spanish touch for Spanish music, makes me feel the real meaning of the piece with the flamenco rasgueos and picados. Excellent!

[@tulliougodigangi7913]

Formidabile! Esecuzione eccezionale, semplicemente magnifica!

[@zarapapazyan4580]

Simply beautiful 😍, շատ գեղեցիկ է

[@mhuten]

You are such a talent. No one can play like this. I can hear both of hands clearly!

[@GoharVardanyan]

Giving this whole Google + thing a shot and I've been told I'm suppose to share things... lots of things... So here it goes! :)

[@alisafavieh46]

This is the best performance of this so difficult piece I have heard. Well done gohar , well done. 

[@bjankuloski]

+Gohar Vardanyan Wonderful performance. This work, beautiful as it is, is devilishly difficult and also requires a great deal of emotional and artistic intelligence to perform properly. Greetings from Macedonia!

[@ppaulletta]

+Gohar Vardanyan I've heard a lot of versions for ths music, all of them in 2 guitars. Yours, however, is my favorite. Same to he Introduction and Fandango from Aguado (you could record it again, but in higher quality. It was just INCREDIBLE). Your work is amazing! Keep it up! Cheers from Brazil!

[@DiderOrostegui]

+Gohar Vardanyan great interpretation!, greetings from Chile

[@ΔΗΜΗΤΡΗΣΚΟΥΤΣΟΥΛΗΣ]

Excellent performance considering that this musical masterpiece has been played in the past by very capable duets and now by a single player. Very good arrangement and playing!! Bravo!!!

[@antonico236122]

Qué maravilla! Y sólo con una guitarra! Bravo, maestra!

[@eduardoguajardo1490]

Es la mejor versión que he escuchado. Grandiosa.

[@bigpatata68]

You're phenomenal, you are a true guitar virtuoso! I'm also a guitarist and I dream of becoming as great as you. I admire you 😍

[@lasvegasleblanc]

BRAVO!!! I played this back in 1985 when I was in a Guitar Duo with Geoff Bonenberger During that summer, we had the opportunity to play it in a Master Class for John Williams in Spain. With that being said, what you have done with this piece is Masterful, Colorful and BRILLIANT! ! Most people that hear and see you play "La Vida Breve" have no idea the high level of technique required to play at this level. The changes you made are no big deal. I loved your performance. If you ever travel to Las Vegas to perform, , I'd like to do a video interview with you and post it on my entertainment blog, Las Vegas News Blog. . Keep inspiring people with your music! Keep Being Brilliant, Robby

[@davidhayes7596]

Once again , the highest level of excellence achieved . As if there's no end to these phenomenal performances . May they never cease !

[@brianhealey5286]

I am stunned beyond words for your virtuosity! I will listen to your dynamic performance several more times before commenting. You are so wonderfully talented.

[@JohnFowler-e1c]

This is by far the best solo-guitar version of this piece that I have heard, and I think I have heard most/all of them. I love the way you throw in the perfect grace notes at no extra charge!

[@erickbiain]

What?!?!? Navegando por KZbin vengo y me encuentro con esto... estoy flipando, la mejor interpretación de Falla que he visto con diferencia... 😳👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@AleFranciscoM]

Ja vasculhei toda a internet e essa é a MELHOR execução da Vida Breve que já vi!!!

[@spadalino]

Wow!!! I've listened to this piece many times, but this the first I've seen it performed. Fantastic! Btw, I heard your interview with Bret Williams. It's how I learned about you.

Ejecución muy limpia y firme, bravo y más bravo, felicitaciones y gracias bella ejecutante. Saludos desde San Diego

I come back to this every few months. Just wow. Such a fiery performance and one of my favourite compositions. Thank you so much!

[@michaelrobbins6370]

Very nice, technical execution was great and most importantly...played with emotion! One of the best version i have heard!

[@germanleguizamon2560]

Con esta interpretación "te descubrí" hace tres o cuatro años. Son inconcebibles esos pocos "dislikes" que hay en sus impecables interpretaciones.

[@ebrahimalfardan8823]

[@ferminhernando4085]

Extraordiaria interpetración,manejo de primer nivel.Enorme Gohar.

[@Tonysmithmusic]

Wow. incredible. Only thought this was possible as a duet !!

[@ebrahimalfardan8823]

On another note, I just noticed that you had the tone of classical guitarist combined with the rythim of a flamenco guitarist. Your tresolos (all of your strumming actually) are very beautifully executed. A truely rare feat for classical guitarists.

[@robertd3564]

To say this is good would be ridiculous. Miss G has taken this piece to another level. The artistry of making the treble line speak above the moving bass line is( in this example) the best I have ever heard. Technically this work is a beast; musically it takes more than just taming that beast using technique. I am without words. wow is too weak.; fantastic would be redundant.

[@RobertoAlexFigueroa]

Brillante técnica. Interpretación clásica con ausencia total de espíritu flamenco-gitano.

[@יוסףיפרח-ר3צ]

Dear Gohar You are so hi level guitarist, I love everything about you the technique the musicality the energies, your understanding the secretes of the right and left hand technique, Guitarist so talented like you, you have to be in the category on perfection like Yehudi Menuhin, Hefts etc, haw ever I'm sure that you hear sum buzzing place in the peace and I now that you are unhappy with that. What I can tell you is that you can't allow yourself to let this happen to your playing, because you are member of the greatest instrumental player in the world, so it's must to be perfect. Its seems to be very easy for you to correct it. Congratulation I'm a fan on you. yosef

[@F20ization]

Before ,i have thought that may br she played with an other one !

[@Bzcenci812]

Please explain what do you mean by "sum buzzing place in the peace". Nothing in La Vida Breve es about peace! Brío y más brío! Enjoy life, it is brief!

[@bobfish7699]

Only one word required.. Wow!

[@glennlopez6772]

Wow! A challenging piece executed so maturely! The tempo mastered! You really must have liked this piece! No negative impression, except that it was a bit "clinically" executed! That doesn't mean something is technically lacking! A good doctor follows clinical procedure and arrives at a diagnosis, before lab investigations! Can't help but feel a little bit "jealous"! There could be many viewers who want to know about where did you come from! Thanks for the video!
