Marcin Dylla perform Toccata para guitara by Rodrigo

[@robbienance]

This piece was composed in 1933 (just the 2nd guitar piece by Rodrigo). It was written upon request from Regino Sainz de la Maza (for whom the Aranjuez was dedicated). The piece was never performed or published until 2005, when it was discovered among Sainz de la Maza's archives. In 2006, it was given to Marcin Dylla to premiere at the Rodrigo Competition. In 1943 Rodrigo published a rearranged version of this piece in the form of the Prelude to the violin concerto Concierto de Estio.

I guess this was premiere of Toccata, full 73 years after it emerged out of Rodrigo´s head.

[@vekigitara]

one of the best guitar player ever!!!! :D

[@MrIbgrant]

And he has got better since that!!!! Fabulous player.

[@jacobcs]

i love how emotionaly he presents himself. haha at the very end you could tell he was relieved that it was over. what a bad ass musian.

[@KatrinEndrikat]

Yes Marcin!! I'm so glad he made it at the GFA this year!!

[@tranzenic]

Wow, stunning! First time hearing this guy and this piece. Man, they f-ing rock!

[@ReneMorenoL]

I have just found that this piece was written before "Concierto de Estío" so it seems that Rodrigo based his violin concerto on this piece insted of this piece based on the violin concerto. I don't know if there is another work made by Rodrigo for piano or any other instrument that was written before using this themes so for me it seems that is a very original piece made for the guitar.

Impresionante! Me encanta la música de Joaquín Rodrigo y más cuando es interpetada por los mejores!!

[@josipallegro]

Yes it is.I was there, in Madrid on last Rodrigo competition 2006

[@ericstandefer9138]

Nice to see that Marcin is human, I was beginning to wonder.

[@Boldstrummer]

that was pretty intense and awesome. . .

[@MrSnorlax22]

The best GFA winner!

[@FrancisArief]

This guy has great stage presence

[@Arnebalfastar]

Truly hard piece...!

[@omaregb]

@Theonedue yeah he messed up a little bit, but, man thats a fucking hard piece, i will forgive him

[@TheStephenL]

Great music, great player. I have to find the score for this. Thank you Marcin!

[@ReneMorenoL]

Another great piece made by Rodrigo. This piece is a very good arrangement made by Rodrigo of his own violin Concerto "Concierto de Estío". It is definitely a very difficult piece due to the difficulty on maintaining all the voices and speed. Mostly in the high register where you have the melody in the first string and the bass singing another melody that supports the harmony of the piece. It is a very difficult piece but worth to play it.

[@BrunoGuedea]

This piece was written before the violin concerto.

[@michelgoss1724]

This boy rocks out

[@FrancescoTeopini]

.... I would say Nicholas Maw's "Music of Memory" is the most difficult one.....but this one is quite close :-)

[@jackasbraskauskas1849]

Da hat sich spanische TVE 2 mit der Qualität der Aufnahme nicht mit Ruhm bekleckert. Nach 73 Jahren als verlorenes Werk wieder gefunden, und als Uraufführung??!! Schade !! Trotzdem ein Meisterstück. Hut ab von Marcin !!!

[@mramosribeiro]

Who is the luthier of this guitar?Great sound!

[@rfcompte]

just decent?? it was great... amazing piece...

[@arash402003]

WOW!

[@ImperialK2]

Is this the premier of the Rodrigo piece he was asked to do by Cecilia? Does anyone know?

[@jaangunnar]

Are there any competitions Dylla hasn't won yet?

[@Artistwolf1993]

I think Music of Memory by Nicholas Maw is similar, both of them are really difficult

[@alvaromendizabal]

@gitalista It was not Joaquin's daughter but a researcher working with her. Leopoldo Neri. She told us the story herself last year during Rafael Aguirre's winning performance of the piece at the Koblenz Guitar Festival. I posted Aguirre's performance in Moscow as a video response, not to create debate but to portray the interpretation of this piece by a spanish guitarist. It would be good if other people could see it as well. I would appreciate it not being taken off this time.

[@robbienance]

@gitalista another rumor I've heard is that Marcin had about four weeks to learn this... yikes.

[@tranzenic]

then do post here.

[@bibatone1]

Austin Powers 0:28 :))

[@TheStinnMaster]

Is it me or does he look a bit like Bradley Cooper...?

[@34pedroferreira]

Are u sure? i thought that was "24 capriche"

[@LUCICAGNOLO]

bella interpretazione peccato per le troppe esitazioni.

[@HatanoD]

I know he is a great player but this performance is a bit rough for his standard. I imagine he was ask to play this piece and he wasn't 100% enthusiastic about it. Great job though, personally I think it's a great project too.
