Si Tu Savais - Biréli Lagrène (High Quality)

Taken from Live Jazz à Vienne DVD

[@makasoona34]

I don't care what any1 says Bireli is the GREATEST guitar player in the world in my eyes, no other guitarist has ever impressed me the way Bireli does!! I'm not saying this just because of his amazing skill in manouche but i've seen this guy play metal, bi-bop, different latin styles, classical, blues, rock, fusion, and hes amazing in all of them.....is there anything he can't do!!!

[@FharzinMirfathy]

Check out Yamandu Costa, I guess he wasn't around 12 years ago :)

[@ahmedbadreddinemoucouf3662]

Mancusso enters the chat

[@charleshoernemann8661]

Biréli is in a class of his own...

[@jozokukavica9814]

This rendition is out of this world...

[@surajugrani1803]

I know there are about a hundred moments of brilliance in this clip, but I wanted to point out the part around 0:32. He played the arpeggio along with the harmony by himself! Never seen that before.

[@relaxationmusicsanctuary3664]

I’m not young anymore and I’ve listened to a lot of musicians in my life. Well: this guy always surprises me, always raises the level of the song he’s playing so high, always he fills of wonder the music. Bireli is an authentic outsider, a real genius.

[@jcdemaurepas]

Ivju😢

[@fireandwater345]

The way he plays those harmonics is so cool

[@michaelwilson9949]

I was in awe of that-came here to see if anyone else mentioned it. Especially coming from a classical guitar. I need distortion to cheat.

[@UroboricNate]

It is, check out Lenny Breau for someone who's a master of that technique

[@aymcha7918]

un des rare guiariste manouche qui raconte une histoire quand il joue !! tout simplement magnifique !!

[@guitarpicka1]

Bireli is so Amazing...His Stage Presence...His Confidence...His Virtuosity...His Humour...and... Also He is not too bad at playing the Guitar.

[@klauswhitedreamer]

a big wow, Bireli is among the most great guitar players ever !... :)

[@GuitarsRmorefun]

One of the all time greats of the guitar.

[@neolegendary5216]

Merci de tout cœur Bireli, pour cette expression musicale DIVINE

[@Dardagan11]

one of Bireli's best... absolutely magic guitar playing... full of soul.

[@nopipac]

J'espére être encore là dans 100 ans pour écouté une tel interprétation Merci Mr Lagrène.

[@ToyTen]

Il y a un moment de grâce, et ce morceau en est un ! Marci merci merci

[@EdmiJazz]

Un grand moment de l'histoire de la musique !! heureusement qu'on est dans une époque ou les cameras existent pour saisir a tout jamais ces moments là!

[@gsjbaldwin]

This guy's technique is off the charts. Unbelievable!

[@luizvasconcelosdasilva4782]

M. Lagrene é sem dúvida um dos maiores violonistas do mundo de todos os tempos! É sempre uma maravilha ouvi-lo! Parabéns também àqueles que o acompanham! Extraordinários!

[@NicolasBontems]

You guys know what Paganini said: "The violin is my mistress but the guitar is my master".

[@AhmetOmerOzgen]

wow. i didnt know your father said that

[@balkharianlion]

Paganini was actually a very good guitar player too

[@biereforte2569]

Le solo tout en harmoniques, qu'est-ce que c'est beau

[@robertcarhiboux3164]

un truc de fou

[@dirksteiner3500]

Unlimited... Natural application direct through reflection... This guy is a master.

[@electricfringe]

My favourite guitar player of all time

[@t4fnut]

Are you for real? Lagrene is one of the most animated musicians playing today. Furthermore, he isn’t good. He is unbelievable. The most imaginative guitarist I have seen.

[@nickvtguitar546]

This is impossibly awesome! 🔥🎸

[@virgilrw]

THAT WAS THE PERFORMANCE OF A LIFETIME! ☆☆☆☆☆

[@azpojedu]

Ich hab ihn ca. 1986 im Logo in Hamburg gesehen, er an der E Gitarre mit pierre moerlin(Gong) am Schlagzeug und vielleicht Hansford Rowe am Bass. Der war da ca. 20. Die Leute haben 45 Minuten!!!!! nach Konzertende und Saallicht weiter applaudiert. Ein Konzert, wie ich es nie vorher oder nachher erlebt habe, obwohl ich hunderte von Konzerten gesehen habe. Die Kombination aus absoluter harmonischer und technischer Sicherheit mit überwältigender Musikalität ist einmalig und macht ihn aus meiner Sicht zu einem Jahrhundermusiker. I saw him about 1986 in an Hamburg Club , him tab the electric guitar with pierre moerlin (Gong) and maybe Hansford Rowe on bass guitar. He about 20 years old. The audience gave a 45 Minutes continuing applause after the end of the concert with full hall light. It was a concert I never experiencend before or later, visiting hundreds of concerts.The Combination of harmonic and technical perfection with overwhelming musicality makes him to talent only showing off in centuries

[@1337Pwn4g3]

Bireli Lagrene, the illest to ever do it... le meilleur aujourd'hui!

[@francescobass]

Pure poetry. Thank you Bireli!

[@sergears9780]

3:10 - Appassionata, 3:32 - Fur Elise. Beethoven would be proud:)

[@YellowJerseyProdt]

Unbelievable guitar playing, absolutely mint

[@DreamPurpleFloyd]

The way he uses harmonics at 1:39 is just awe inspiring. Sounds so delicate and full of emotion...

[@djangoreinhardt1755]

I have no words, just can say WOW WOW WOW , Bireli i love you

[@djangoreinhardt1755]

and Hono tooo :P Hono is a special person to me , i know him since Titi Winterstein Times ... In my eyes he is HONO THE GREAT

[@RootinrPootine]

Man, this concert was like a thunderbolt to the gypsy jazz world. It’s only grown from here. Lots of good features and an incredibly long concert, but the opening set here by Bireli and Florin is unsurpassable! The peak of plectrum style ever captured on film.

[@mariajeunhomme9356]

C'est magnifique ce que Bireli peut faire avec sa guitare, SUPER

[@guitarist2752]

Superbe ...Bireli est grandiose!

[@biffdorkinton555]

What a joy to experience this wonderful musician. Thank you for posting this.

[@nonogratt]

Merci à Bireli pr ce moment de libertée musicale ! C'est trop bon dés le matin au réveil

[@Kortmann123]

Was für eine magische Virtuosität,... Großartig

[@val1767]

oh my fucking god

[@highphlyer]

DITTO!

[@Blazes_58]

Bireli , c'est une technique indéniable mais surtout c'est une musicalité hors du commun ... Si j'étais croyant , je dirais qu' il a été touché pas la main de Dieu.. Bravo !!!

[@marclaurent9490]

I was looking for a song illustrating Bireli's incredible sens of harmony, and unlimited creativity...Here it is !!! Bireli at his best...he is a real alien, a jazz genius...he's not playing guitar, he is singing, telling a true story...What amazes me is that during a concert you will never hear Bireli playing a musical phrase he would have already recorded, his capacity of everytime renewing his improvisations, and ability to instantly follow any musical melody that crosses his mind...Bireli every note I hear from you is a delight, I truly love your playing !

[@AtanasovPetar]

This is a band and Bireli is amazing as always.

[@johannyguineaudeau9440]

Certainement le meilleur guitariste !

[@benthemiester]

I saw Biréli Lagrène in Marina Del Rey in Los Angeles back in 83. He played a whole set with a Mickey Mouse hat on his head. He's was such a great player even back then, that after he played the first song, nobody noticed anymore.

[@pierre-yvesboyaval8104]

qu'est-ce qu'on peut dire....???? Le maître du jazz manouche exprime son art. Merci de votre clip.

[@Funkyjazzomatic]

simplement....sublime et humble....on aura toujours beaucoup à apprendre...

[@alexwirtz68]

Hard to better Django in any case. Even harder when there's only one recording of Django doing this number - oneoffs tend towards the iconic in his oeuvre. This does it with a couple of lengths to spare. Brings a lump to the throat even after the 50th listen - people, if someone insists on telling you Gilmour's solo on Comfortably Numb is the top guitar solo ever, just point 'em right here. This is peerless.

[@luizvasconcelosdasilva4782]

Les mots sont tous repetes, mais vrais: Magnifique! Super! Excelent! Merci pour partager!

[@JazzAnnon]

Jesus that technique is "streching it off the limits" He still sounds amazing. Congratulations are in order for this musician. Bravo!

[@Alexinchains81]

the best guitar player of all time!!!

[@stefanoalmontelalli8050]

semplicemente divino ... irrangiungibile ... incredibile ... fantastico ... e chi più ne ha ne metta ...

[@shubhamsengupta6157]

What a piece....!!!

[@SZGX]

There are a lot of great guitarists on this planet, but Bireli really isn't of this planet. I think he is the most creative guitarist in history.

[@harizonjakatianazandry1392]

Incroyable mais vrai... The 👑

[@carloscrespo3345]

¡Biréli Lagrène nous donne beaucoup!

[@matambale]

Deep blue and brilliant yellow-white.

[@JavierTijuana]

Everything I watch Bireli, I get to the conclusion that he is playing a different instrument than me.

[@petel2952]

Same instrument...more talent.

[@RWFischer691]

He is playing in his own league …

[@michaelvaladez6570]

In my opinion when i saw him with this group i felt i was in France in a smokey club..he was that good..thank you for this post greatly appreciated!

[@jimmytowelde5473]

AMMAZZING Birèli is the best manouche player

[@nicolavaleriik6hiq]

Is the number 10'000 comment i make on Bireli performance.... another world's guitarist..........................

[@feustle]

[@rockman00blues]

the string-skipping at the end of the video made me rewind and watch closely since I was just listening to the music. Holy mother of god.

[@kesslerwatson4085]

Gorgeous playing

[@Julien777WH]

j'allais dire le meilleur de ses solos, mais c dur, à la chanson suivante tu penses pareil ;-)))

[@rafaelzenteno8226]

too good for being human

[@polucovekpolukomarac]

There must be a reason why people dislike this. I can't see it, so I need someone to explain me why? How after watching this, one can dislike it.

[@Boldstrummer]

Buy the DVD. Best investment in learning this style.

[@soniaamaraltaoismo5218]

Fantastic !!! Sonia amaral

[@manuelgianella8937]

Maestro inarrivabile. Pura classe

[@DaveLincoln]

Biréli is simply amazing.

[@costisaivalis6639]

[@emmanuelmartens8751]

[@melinama9594]

[@themagicalwoman]

[@TheAcebolling]

thanks ben - I missed the final smile - came back to watch it again for the fourth time in two days - it looked like genuine personal recognition of "that went well"

[@kristhedrumer]

i had just finished picking up my jaw from the floor and then he starts with the pinch harmonics.

[@theprogrammerrolandmc3039]

Amazing what you can achieve when you don't go to school and are not brain washed into being a shelf stacker in a super market.

[@12345678913726]

you usually hear a few notes done with pinch harmonics - he did 45 seconds; that's amazing finger control

[@BERTRAMCAT]

Bireli for President...

[@user-hg3kc4dj7u]

Birelli is such a beast!

[@everybodynakhead]

Le morceau joué en duo avec le regretté Henri Salvador ("Envie de toi") est exceptionnel. Je vous invite à l'écouter.
