Manuel Barrueco-Variations on a Theme of Mozart

[@jrpitcherjr]

One of the finest with a tremendous volume of memorized music across the classical and popular spectrum.. His interpretations are instantly special.

belliisima interpretacion gracias cariños de INES SETUAIN DE CONCORDIA ERIOS ARGENTINA

[@marcon.5369]

Una interpretazione meravigliosa piccole imprecisioni che scendono non in secondo, ma in ultimo piano perché, quando ascolti un attacco così, non puoi rimanere indifferente. Superiore a molte esecuzioni moderne, apparentemente perfette ma... senza quel tocco che solo questi grandi interpreti riescono ad avere

So good to have someone with such distinctive, strong, clear sound. A great pleasure to listen to. Now listen to Segovia playing this piece and enjoy the difference.

[@박수현-b4e8r]

Always interesting piece of My Life. Thanks a lot , Sor & Manuel ^^♡^^

Un verdadero orgullo para nosotros los cubanos, tener un santiaguero de la talla de Manolito y ni qué decir de nuestra Escuela Cubana de Guitarra

[@unagondolaunremo]

he plays very very well, with variety and quality of sound, perfect style, great musicality, a lot of fantasy

[@tetsuyayazaki5797]

かっこいい！魔笛はこう弾け‼って言ってる❕❕

[@rufinosanchez2703]

Esta es una excelente versión de la obra. Al primero que se la escuché fue a Segovia allá por el 1965, muy buena versión, casi insuperable en ese tiempo, manteniéndose las grabaciones originales de entonces. Muchos guitarristas, además, la tocan y sus versiones son bastante buenas. Sin embargo, M. Barrueco lo hace tan bien que no tiene nada que envidiarle a Segovia, desde luego cada uno en su propio estilo y forma, como debe ser. Muchas gracias.

AMAZING guitar player!!!!♫♪

[@DoU12Rock]

Ok, I stumbled onto this. I’ve known about and have many of his pieces in my library. I have not seen this video until now, November 24 2020. This video is a recording from many years ago, so the recording technically has flaws. However Manuels performance is stellar. Sor somehow really nailed it with this variation, and Mr Barrueco nailed it also with his deliverance of the masterpiece.

[@salvatoresciacca79]

Quando ascolto questa sua interpretazione rimango sempre incantato. Bellissimo!!!!!

[@Anton_the_Vampire]

Fascinating and beautiful. Not utterly flawless, but pretty damned close. What I find interesting is seeing different guitarists fingers in sections of the variations. Manuel Barrueco has his own fingerings and chord-shapes, which different from those of John Williams (for example). Nice to see that there's more than one way to play those parts. xx

[@zeynepersen5456]

Teşekkürler. Harika bir konser.

[@newislandguitar]

Good post..thats a fun piece to play. enjoyed.

[@arcadiomendoza8417]

EXTRAORDINARIA SU INTERPRETACIÓN MAESTRO

[@MrTKS100]

Like he´s looking and listening his own playing objectively, brilliant guy.

[@anatolyFedotov]

Fantastic !

[@太田悦子-c3f]

最終コンテストで、第2位に対して私は、物言いがあります。この方のギターは、只単にスコア忠実再生ではなく、本当に、聴取を引きつける一種のカリスマが感じられて、私の知っているギターリストの中では、最高に位置する演奏家の一人です。

[@MyMomSaysSo]

well that's the best i've heard that played live, easily...what phrasing, what tone, what artistry

[@stevessn]

I like both this and the Segovia performance. I like this especially because he plays the intro. This is the way I've heard Celedonio Romero play this piece. Thanks for posting this on YT.

No, preferiscono questo, e 100 volte: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmjLcoCPhcycp7c

[@БорисКотов-к3ь]

Bravo !

[@allanwells4886]

Lovely playing. Alirio Diaz and Julian Bream were the blokes who blew me away with this piece when I had to learn this piece back in 1970. I'd rate Barrueco pretty close to them; great player.

[@kincho1011]

Los directores en su afán por ensalsar al erudito que asumen que es el músico, siempre hacen transiciones lentas y cadenciosas mostrando varios ángulos, envolviendo de cierta aura al intérprete, que lo hacen ver como un ser casi mágico. Y uno como guitarrista quisiera una toma estática donde se pudiera apreciar las dos manos y ya. Pare de contar.

[@capthecap812]

è bello sentire i live veri... anche i fenomeni non sono perfetti

[@bryanadamik6839]

Does anyone know the maker of Manuel's guitar?

[@MrBajanplayer]

Matthias Damman! Viele Jahre Wartezeit! Preis 20.000€

[@aoaaoa268]

Хорош гитарист. Желательно - повнимательнее к средине, к педалям, а они на гитаре могут быть оч разными, великолепными. Да есть ещё и т н "временная система. Ах, как бы было..!!!😆😆

[@danihh9534]

Good, but hard to say awesome after watching this one: Segovia - variations on Mozart's theme

[@NUJAKKCITIE]

thank you very much for your comment!! segovia's version compared to this is from another universe! segovia forever!!!

[@auntyp]

Once upon a time, I could play this song. I don't believe how I managed to. Was one of the chosen pieces in the ABRSM grade 8 guitar pieces. Lol

[@00kashyap00]

and now?

[@auntyp]

Now? Can't even remember how to change strings! Lol.

[@MyMomSaysSo]

Yyesssssssssss

[@davidumberger6120]

I use to take master classes with him in the 80s technically great with Villa Logos and Scarlett pieces. But his Classical performance lacks the musicality that is required, such as phrasing blowing through passage that don't connect with the harmonic pace. Also classical music variations in color and tone, like Julian Bream and John Williams. I felt there was no improvement here of this piece. Plus people who have played this piece know there were countless amount of errors, notes and rhythm. I was taught if you make a mistake don't go back and repeat the notes over again like he did in the theme. The string squeaks have to go. It maybe the characteristics of the guitar but it does not enhance the music for the listener to excuse. I do respect this guy's technical ability but needs to refine some of this issues, some people technical fast that's ok as long as it has musical quality to go a long with it. I don't like to give negative reviews but as a professional guitarist I also think music comes first before technique. I do enjoy some of his early recordings a lot, but this doesn't appeal to me at all. And think the audience that are or aren't guitarist feel the same way from what hear from others. The big question can guitarist entertain for people who are not guitarists, if so than you created music. To Manuel, if you record some slow music your musicianship could possibly improve I would hope. For all the guitarist out there listen to all instruments and music out there and tell me how this performance compares. I think I'll listen to something else . David Umberger

[@TSgitaar]

As you are professional guitarist (you state that yourself) I would expect that you can understand that mistakes can be made when performing a piece for a crowd. Criticizing a performance you also have to take into account what the performer is striving for, what is his interpretation of the piece? Obviously you don't like it, but that doesn't mean it is wrong. Also you can't possibly answer the question if Barrueco can entertain people who aren't guitarists. You simply don't know that. I would make a case that he is a professional guitarist who had plenty of succes, so he must be quite a good entertainer.

[@MethenySco]

Who do you think you are picking apart this GIANT of classical guitar? Guy's got one video of Greensleeves and all the sudden he fancies himself an international concert artist? You think Manuel Barreuco is going to take notes about his 'string sqeaks'?, Master David Umberger? One thing you might notice with truly capable musicians and artists is that they have the humility and self-confidence (not to mention intelligence) not to pick apart others. Keep your bullshit comments to yourself. PS- Where by chance can I hear your better version? Nowhere? That's what I thought.

[@frtpwr]

from one ok guitar player no one has heard of to another: take a seat boo boo

[@bryanadamik6839]

Definitely one of the top five versions of this piece, if not the best! I'm just beginning to appreciate this great player after listening to many different players over the years.

[@ピラマ]

BLAVO!

[@antoniocarlosrodriguescamp1497]

Too fast and some pauses are not respected.

[@KimioYoshioka]

Holy Moises!

[@ggeorge4144]

This piece is too rushed and too fast. Absolutely no feeling put into it what-so-ever. It is not a race, it is music.

[@bobjinessr7957]

I'll agree think his bow tie was prob too tight
