Pavel Steidl - 'And you go to Ithaca, too?'

[@Jendavjetor]

Pavle, jste skvělý. Jako malému mi vás hrál můj učitel kytary. Poslouchám vás až do dnes a stále s napjatýma ušima. Mistře, snad se vás někdy naučím.

[@NihilistDad]

What an artist. That throat singing thrown in there was moving.

[@darkoanton5]

I saw him perform this live ladt night. At first I was figures he must be ysing a looper. No. No looper. I was at an after concert gathering and spent over an hour listening to him talk guitar, guitat strings, guitarists, voice and shared stoies with Hack Silver of the Guitar Society of Toronto. It was quite the experence.

[@KMT9999]

I have heard him play this piece live. I could not believe my eyes and ears when he reached 4:19. It was a magical moment.

[@rmlevyPhD]

I heard this piece in Calgary, Alberta. Everyone was on the edge of their seats.

[@nikogonzalez11]

I saw Pavel play at Columbia College of the Arts Chicago in 2007 and in Cordoba, Spain in 2005. I still have one of his concert programs saved away and both concert programs call this song Homage a Jana Obrovska.

[@austinkeller_synesthesiac]

I had the amazing opportunity to listen to Pavel live. Possibly the best guitarist in the world??

[@johanasvobodova7046]

Austin Keller he is the best guitarist in my country - Czech republic. But he is one of the best guitarists of the world i think

[@jasonstripinis8834]

My teacher (who has recorded Paganini Caprices at violin tempi) a student of Ghiglia, Russell, Fisk, Rossfelder and Gallen, says of Pavel, "he is my idol--SUCH a genius."

[@MrPDTaylor]

David Russell is GOAT in my book.

[@francescospina6692]

​@@jasonstripinis8834Who is your teacher? I want to listen Paganini records

[@hansvanbriemen2153]

It is a blessing to have such a genius guitarist amongst us. I had some classes from Pavel (2002), but his talents are not transferable to others. This is his own “Limosna por el Amor de Dios”. Thank you Pavel.

[@aresdester]

Saw him live a week ago and he was phenomenal. He came back for an encore THREE times. Played this piece as well and it was enthralling.

[@anza1382]

Easily the best guitar performance i've seen in my life hands down.

[@bobsquires4521]

That is just terrific - and what a lovely guitar! Thank you for not tuning during the performance. A number of players will do that during (and throughout) a piece and it becomes not only distracting but worrisome with many times making the problem even worse. This was so inventive and exciting, and the ending with coda was wonderful. Beautiful playing!

[@gioachinogiussani4303]

eccezionale Pavel, stà come a eseguire una fantastica pittura che non vorrebbe finire mai.....complimenti

[@ClassicalGuitarist]

Wow!

[@thaonguyenphuong4580]

So beautiful!

[@bzeliotis]

That's an incredible piece for the classical guitar. Pavel pulled all the stops!

[@Broganeye]

Complete and total awesomeness! Pavel is one of the very best players I've ever seen live. I feel the experience was close a perfect concert experience. A true master of old and new repertoire. Thanks for posting this.

[@dominikpokorny]

This is just TOOOOO AWESOME!!! 😲😎🥳

[@simonsamadhimusic]

This man is my hero! Absolutely stunning piece of music this is. Inspiring 🙏🏼

[@mastertechnique9707]

the Great Pavel, love his creativity

[@Milage100]

Unbeliebably great!

[@LL4love]

so inspiring! great artist!

[@nikosz66]

The myth that traditional guitars have a rather short life ,is knocked down by this 180 year old guitar.Pavel has metamorphosed her into a modern versatile musical cannon. Welldone!!!

[@petrhouska1431]

Holt asi dobrej oddíl, no :) velmi pěkně a to jsem si myslel, že už na kytaru celkem umím hrát :)

[@istvannagy7531]

Phenomenal !!!

[@harpsichordval4614]

Bravo !!!! Congratulation ! Thank you for uploading !

[@bertaga41]

Beyond words! Wow!

[@BerndGastSpielt]

guitar playing at its best!

[@metoikos5]

Wow that was outstanding!

[@sagarkapoor9892]

love this piece!!

[@purplelight2947]

I am so happy I found this!)

[@Alphaje]

Way too modest! I would never be able produce a fraction of the sound with the same instrument, let alone the emotion.

[@vicbroEP]

Wowwwww.. Amazing

[@marioramosribeiro7869]

Bravo Pavel! You are terrific!

[@marioramosribeiro7869]

Bravo

[@oscilis]

Incredibly haunting.

[@alperyazici]

[@marioramosribeiro7869]

Pure genius!

[@screening1]

Great!! that's rock!!!!!

[@aspasia-ramonaspyropoulou9847]

Dear Mr. Pavel, i feel extremely lucky to have heard you live.( igft.gr/) I believe that it was an experience i will always reminsce about. This piece, in parallel with the innate technical difficulty, has a magic power to engender me a wonderful mix of feelings. Your music is outstanding and your playing brilliant. Thank you so much! And I hope i reach my destination, because I go to Ithaca too...

[@kakukkpeter]

Genious

[@olegrin]

Super!!!!

[@Max.Riccio]

Fantástico!!!

[@Michajeru]

Extraordinarily good.

[@jorgealbarado2040]

Un maestro lo conocí en guitarras del mundo argentina

[@RobertoMartinez-uv4nx]

Extraordinario!!

[@Ale4music]

wow :-)

[@garthstiebel1914]

Metal anyone? Would love to hear this on an electric guitar.

[@jonathanwayne3895]

Wow - astounding playing combined with some subtle overtone singing. Candyrat should sign Steidl if only to introduce his playing to a wider audience not acquainted with modern classical guitar.

[@sergerobert9831]

C'est fou ce que Pavel arrive à faire avec une guitare XIXe siècle; on est pas mal loin de Segovia!

[@nylonsteel]

Looper pedals run away in fear...

[@davidschestenger3366]

Not even jimmy hendrix, this men is INCREDIBLE, in this or medieval music

[@franciscofernandez5356]

Does anyone has the sheet music for this song? It would love to *try* to play it

[@steveb9325]

Did you ever get the score? I'm looking for a as well.

[@steveb9325]

Does anybody elae think this piece (the beginning) sounds like that Lou Reed song?

[@PAYOON07]

What’s wrong with the dislike !?

[@axel15473]

I didn't know he can sing overtones. Amazing

[@marekchmiel398]

paco de lucia He actually can sing. I'm from the same country as him. When he was younger he played and singed with his brother( I think that his name is Josef) which plays the banjo.

[@gabrielamikusova9921]

Paco is far beyond...

[@vicbroEP]

Ohh it's called overtones.. The sound like song from tibet

[@hawksilverdragon]

Was he doing Mongolian Throat singing? sure sounded like it

[@mushroomman52]

yes he was and they prefer the term inuit throat singing

[@DanielRamjattan]

@@mushroomman52 Mongolian and Inuit people are completely different cultures in completely different parts of the world with their own unique throat singing traditions. He's doing Mongolian throat singing.

[@FabianVanL]

Wonderful! And throat singing too?

[@manuell.4998]

Remember Are you going with me? (P.Meteheny composition)

[@manuell.4998]

only the ostinato form in the intro

[@mariorivera4803]

How is he playing the drone in the back?

[@bretthake7713]

If you're referring to appx 4:20-5:10 it's his voice

[@1yonjae]

In dem Moment des Obertonsingens - etwa in der Mitte - (typisch fuer Khemyi aus der Mogolei) zugleich mit atemberaubender technischer Brillanz finde ich kein Wort mehr. Ithaca wurde lediglich fuer einen bestimmten Gitarrenmeister komponiert, nicht fuer alle Gitarristen.

[@jayadityanath9077]

which brand of guitar is that?

[@smrnff]

Nicolaus Georg Ries, 1838, Vienna (Austria)

[@billybanjoseph]

Is this on a recording!?

[@markosladoljev5692]

Can I have chords for this? ;-)

[@mislavpecnik2490]

You're funny man

[@markosladoljev5692]

For intro at least :-D

[@isaia1100]

Lleva algo grabado?

[@SilentAnja]

Someone sheet music please?

[@mislavpecnik2490]

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA😂🤣

[@JaxonBurn]

Lmao

[@SilentAnja]

@@JaxonBurn Just explain what is funny? :)

[@kirkpatticalma7911]

Funny, I can't make my Legnani sound like this.

[@Is-ql1vq]

Led Zeppelin still 🙏

[@michaello001]

toto by si mal pustiť každý kto rozumie pod pojmom hrať na gitaru hrať niake popove sračky

[@harmmartens929]

Just another Piece by gitarists for gitarists. Where are the real composers ?

[@RvBy88]

Dude please
