[@CyrusShahrzad]

One cannot ever get enough of this talented family. Great interpretation. A master piece.

[@GitaarschoolElger]

[@josedelarosareyes5362]

[@lawrencetendler2342]

Very nice and interesting work .Romero really shines here.

[@kozho4guitar]

Oh Yeah, Pepe Romero got a KZbin channle now !!!!

[@sergiogascag]

Además de la histórica grabación del maestro Sabicas y del maestro Moreno Torroba como director de la Orquesta de Conciertos de Madrid, nunca jamás había escuchado otra interpretación del Concierto Flamenco. Pepe Romero es uno de los intérpretes ideales para esta obra y la interpretación del video es excelsa.

[@gitarramartina]

Great! Beautiful music! Thank You for sharing it.

[@dadesigns1]

May be the most beautiful I have ever heard!

[@newislandguitar]

Gorgeous and fantastic playing as always.

[@rufinosanchez2703]

Es una buena versión de esta obra de Moreno Torroba por parte de Pepe Romero. Escuché una sola vez allá por el año 1977 por radio en Chile este concierto tocado por Sabicas. La versión de Sabicas es muy buena, como lo es ahora la versión de Pepe Romero.

[@rufinosanchez2703]

+rufino sanchez Me respondo y agrego: Creo que Moreno Torroba adaptó la orquesta especialmente para Sabicas, ya que éste introduce en guitarra falsetas y ritmos que son normales para él, pero muy difíciles para otros. Si Moreno Torroba hubiera hecho el concierto para Paco de Lucía, las falsetas en guitarra habrían sido al estilo particular de Paco, e intentar ejecutar aquellas hipotéticas falsetas por otros guitarristas habría sido muy difícil. Es mi opinión.

Wow! Pepe is great! I doubt anyone but Sabicas and Pepe could play it with the right feel. Unless Angel grabs the guitar! Very true to the Sabicas style!

[@marcelouz1]

Que belleza de concierto, con un estilo flamenco puro y fino y un colorido de la orquesta inigualable , hermoso dialogo y complementación entre la guitarra y la Orq..Gran interpretación de Pepito Romero bajo la dirección de Angel , su hermano menor, Que pena el audio y el vídeo, se nota que es una grabación casera, cuando debían haber hecho una grabación una totalmente profesional. Qué pasó... a estas aturas del partido? .........

[@andrez6271989]

Genial, ojala pronto tengamos mas vídeos. Saludos!

[@artie22]

Bravo Maestro!

[@fzanon]

In reply to the comments on the relative weakness of the guitar, I must point Pepe plays without amplification and it seems this is captured by the camera microphone. This is close to the natural balance in a live performance which, to me, is astonishing. Very few, I mean very few guitarists are as naturaly loud as Pepe.

[@gladisburotto2442]

Aranjuez.. Mi concierto preferido.. Es hermoso,, lo disfruto cada vez que lo escucho., por lo menos una vez a la semana.. que me perdonen eso si los maestros pero prefiero la versión del maestro Yepez.. Q

[@gladisburotto2442]

Que me perdonen los maestros pero prefiero la versión del maestro Narciso Yepez.. Gracias..

[@PedrovaRoma]

The guitar without microphone!! Why? In that way I don't know what is happening on the piece. Pepe Romero is a great guitar player, but we can not hear the complete result of this masterpiece ☹️

[@charlenehernandez8546]

Finally!!

[@Gitanoz]

Thing is that Sabicas never played this with orchestra. A few tracks from his LP "Flamenco Puro" were sampled and the orchestra was adding to that!

[@johnfowler3132]

You got that right! See my comment above.

[@nicoangel690]

Pepe ! Amigo ! Hermosa como Siempre! Ojala el ingeniero de sonido se hubiera concentrado en el equilibrio del sonido. La Orquestra consumio totalmente tu sonido cuando la parte de guitara canto con la orquestra. Requerdas cuando corri a mi conservatorio de musica y recupere mi Polytone Amp y el microfono Sennheiser ( intenta hablar de gira con un StATE TROOPER por exceso de velocidad ) y lo instale solo en la Sala de Conciertos en Rockford, IL ? Interpretaste "El Concierto de Aranjuez" de Rodrigo y terminaste con Flamenco en una exhibicion ardiente que cautivo al publico. Los comentarios fueron ... "Ay Dios Mio".....escuchamos el Concierto interpretado con equilibrio de suburbio por primera vez" "Ole"....capturaron toda la noche ! Luego, al mas puro estilo mediterraneo, salimos a cenar. Recuerdos!

[@pablomoyasolano1561]

What a beautifull concert!! did not know angel romero was a conductor.

[@WindsorPro]

Àngel Romero studied conducting with Eugene Ormandy, the late great conductor of Philadelphia Orchestra.

[@josedelarosareyes5362]

y la farruca quita el sentio,muy bien tocada y muy bien acompañada por la orquesta con arte y finura

[@vivo69luwuk43]

The guitar's sound almost unheardable.

[@MirzaRedzepagic]

Very well played! Where I can buy the scores for the concierto?

[@tomblackshearguitarmaker1585]

I enjoy Orchestral arrangements, especially with a flamenco trend but what I find hard to accept is the clearly competitive sound system that has a difficult balance in allowing the guitar to be heard.

[@deanmason1564]

yes they could have mich'ed the guitar. It is easy for the guitar to get buried in the presence of so many instruments. After all, they have to use microphones to record anyway. When I play classical guitar with other instruments, especially percussion and keyboard (which can generate a LOT more sound) we mich the guitar through the house system. it's still a natural sound but BALANCED!

[@deanmason1564]

also what is important is the LOCATION of the michrophones. one should be located in a position that favors the guitar. Not overhead of the whole orchestra

[@ohrofax]

wenn gitarre und das orchester forte ist hört man die gitarre kaum noch

[@QueensWino]

First time I've been exposed to this concerto. Interesting, begins with much from Sabicas' "Por Los Olivares" a fandangos from the album "Flamenco Puro." That piece I'm quite familiar with! It's cool in this concerto setting!

[@johnfowler3132]

Good ear! The original recording was just Torroba providing an orchestral setting for four of Sabicas's solos on "Flamenco Puro". You can even hear a minor glitch (rare for Sabicas) on both recordings in the same solo at the same place. And at places, the orchestra was even not quite in tune with the guitar. In his defense, Torroba (I think) provided some really nice orchestral parts. But I think the liner notes that referred to how Sabicas and Torroba discussed how to do this in the studio are an absolute fabrication. As great as he was, even Sabicas could not have reproduced his "Flamenco Puro" solos as exactly as they were reproduced on "Concierto en Flamenco", including the glitch.

[@jminorjams]

nice, james

[@АлександрДанилов-н5я]

Оркестр до неприличия подавляет солиста! Звукооператор непрофессионален!

[@cmiracapo546]

realllllllly Mistro

[@billstevens9686]

World premiere? This was recorded by Sabicas in 1962. You're saying it was not performed in public until 2007?

[@eugeniuswilliams5457]

'Ive had the record of Sabicas performing with orchestra under Torroba for years ( released on World Record Club in Australia). It is unique in many ways, no score ( for guitar)was written, (as Sabicas couldnt read music anyway), Torroba worked with Maestro Sabicas to keep orchestra steady in his score, whilst Sabicas improvised in and around it. Carlos Montoya did a similar thing at same time, but I think his work was scored by a friend of his. Sabicas and Montoya remind me of Beatles and Stones, how one would make a record , then tother would respond. Eg;, Beatles release Let it Be, Stones( the rougher type!) release Let it Bleed, etc,.Hard for Pepe to play well as the original was fairly improvisational , in true flamenco style. The original had much more bravado than this very tame version, which is more classical than flamenco!

[@jondalardynamite5199]

Eugenius Williams What did you said?

[@felixnauta]

Fabuloso pero y sin ánimos de ofender a quedado mal grabado, la guitarra casi no se escucha.

[@rodrigocortes3243]

No lo se, creo que lo que pasa es que no tiene microfono, Pepe tiene un gran sonido, no lo se... a tocado varias veces con orquesta y sin amplificador

[@josemanuellustresgomez2759]

Hay que afinar el oido. La guitarra se oye, la orquesta se crece cuando caya la guitarra. En el cante se hace así, la guitarra acompaña atrás de la voz y canta entre letra y letra. El.público lego, en general desconoce este equilibrio de guitarra y cante. El flamenco es voz, con guitarra después, hay que oír más cante para abarcar el flamenco.

[@migbern68]

I can hear the guitar.....Too much orchesta...

[@steviejd5803]

Sorry to say but the guitar isn’t an orchestral instrument...it’s totally drowned out. Fabulous playing just feel the balance is off.
