Sergio Assad "Aquarelle" played by Roman Viazovskiy

[@DannyWJaco]

I've been playing for 35 jeers and never witnessed anything quite like this. What it must do for the brain of a human to memorize and replicate such complexity. Beautiful and entertaining this performance is.

[@tritone3284]

People in the guitar /music world are extremely jealous and sometimes even toxic with their stupid comments this guys is a great master with a beautiful sound and musicality. End off for all haters!

[@patrickkozak9490]

It's probably the guitar they can't put their finger on why. I can hear it. Unfortunately, I've lost a fortune traversing the dangerous landscape of classical guitars and more times than not, the guitar has slight intonation disparities that affect the harmonization and what people when listening might refer to as the musicality. Unfortunately, the world has been swept up in mediocrity. The classical guitar is supposed to be a precision instrument. I have had quote inquote top makers tell me that every guitar has some level of intonation loss. This is simply not true. However, depending on the reason, it cannot always be adjusted correctly within the 12 frets. The smaller the disparity, one might wonder why it just doesn't ring out or it sounds a little lacking.

EXACT Statement

[@veetguitar]

This is absolute top level playing. Super clear,transparent, expressive, flexible with the rubati.... Wish you all the best for your career!

[@stephenlee9512]

One of the best viazovskiy's playing; 2008 - 2012 period

[@austinthornton3407]

Wow What a piece! Fabulous playing. It doesn’t get much better than this.

[@selphy_geumja]

Incredibly beautifull !

[@jimdavidson210]

Still one of my all-time favorite recordings of this piece. Such confidence and musicality!

[@birgerwestin]

This is probably one of the best performances ever recorded live on classical guitar. And then also count that he plays the most interesting music ever written on the instrument. Harmonies, chord changes, voicings, Rhythmic ideas, swing and melody lines, its simply outstanding. And the recording is clean, not much reverb, simply a good sounding instrument thanks to Roman. Sergio Assad is just awesome.

[@christofinb]

Birger Westin The Valseano part of this piece is just magical and its where the piece comes together.

[@samuelgeorge6525]

if anybody doesnt know. this kinda playing takes a life of work. assads suite isnt for everybody i know. very discordant at times but he worked on this for years im sure

[@AlexMFF]

The best performance of Aquarelle I heard. Thanx a lot!

[@nickr4957]

Bravo! I could listen to this all day. Fantastic musicality, both in the writing and performance.

[@Sid_music]

This is BEYOND great... Obviously the best performance of this piece... Too bad we have lost this talent, hope he recovers soon!

[@gtrgeek74]

Absolutely top notch. Truly great interpretation. Truly! You have breathed life into a very difficult piece.

[@sajateacher]

I can't understand some of the comments below saying his playing is "not expressive" or that this piece has "too many notes". I quite like his playing and the composition. I tend to think of the piece as a watercolor painting, with various shapes and forms coming into and out of view as the painter works.

[@nanthilrodriguez]

+Ryan Blais Did you read that watercolor bit from a review of the piece else where? Aquarelle is a style of watercolor painting, and it's the kind of painting sergio assad's wife would do, so yes it should remind you of a watercolor...

[@sajateacher]

Actually, just going from the French for "watercolor". But hearing the piece I was visualizing various images coming into and out of focus.

[@sajateacher]

[@wjstephens4654]

Stunning. What a great composition: a magical journey. To play this piece with such virtuosity, tone and expression is quite an achievement. Congratulations sir!

[@BenDiamondGuitarist]

this guy is an awesome player

[@sargijapunk]

Incredibly well played with great expressiveness and musicality. Great music as well, Assad is never boring, and Roman does incredibly good job to play this music which is quite difficult both technically and musically.

[@olegrin]

For sure one of the best guitar performers

[@Carovius]

Fenomenal!! No puedo pensar más que en envidia que a alguien no le guste esto.Gran, gran guitarrista.Y una hermosa y difícilisima obra.

[@martinvegaga]

La única razón que alguien puede tener para dar un no me gusta en este video es la simple envidia. La mejor versión de esta obra que jamás eh escuchado. FANTÁSTICO ROMAN!!!!

[@Pilchgennadiy]

Wonderfull performance! With a lot of filling. I liked it very much!

Jorge....apples and oranges!

[@deLeonGuitarStudio]

Well I wouldn't put those guys all in exactly the same category, but hey they are all Brazilian. I just listened to a Gismonti recording and he reminded me of Baden Powell, Yamandu Costa & Raphael Rabello. The Assads kind of have one foot in the classical world and one foot in their latin roots, it's hard to think of comparable musicians. But check out Ricardo Cobo's Latin American Guitar CD, and Jason Vieaux's Guitar Recital CD for similar music, and amazing guitar chops.

[@veetguitar]

Try Roland Dyens Hommage a Villa Lobos. Also the Pixinguinha adaptions of Dyens, but that is a much older style.
