[@dancosleylessons]

Beautiful playing, amazing composition. Bravo!

[@AntonioAgenoPulido]

Maravilloso!

[@marcelo.cau.]

Listening a Brouwer's composition it's always refreshing. Listen it played by Ricardo Gallen it's even better

There is some magic when a peice can be heard multiple times without being boring and for the sake of music. This is for me a good example. Its rare! Even me being a guitarrist, most often I find this on piano or violin masterpieces by Rachmaninoff, Brahms, Dvojak... This piece by Brouwer, with this incredible interpretation by Ricardo, is really something above the average by far. Music for music. Not just: see how I play well. Look at my technique!

[@AndresFelipePalacios]

¡Excelente obra y excelente interpretación!. Que bueno ver como se va enriqueciendo el repertorio de la guitarra con obras como estas.

[@derrickstefan7087]

i guess I'm kind of randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to stream new movies online ?

[@Juannaturalezaymusica]

Ricardo, the best forever

[@carlosmanuelpicos6494]

Esto no es para el público, es para "El Pensador", música genial, interpretación genial ( sin pretender alabanza), es inspirador este video ;)

[@obaker1]

The sheet music says arm. XII at measures 2 and 104 (0.27 and 4:28) but instead he plays them at VII with his nose. Guess I was reading it wrong- :D

[@leonpetersen7346]

LOL!!

[@juandavidguerrero7947]

also in 3:14 but at XII

[@lufelufe8192]

MY GOD, I'm flipping out with this. I totally thought it was just a joke comment.

[@metronommie]

yeah I noticed a XII harmonic done with his nose at 15:11 most unconventional thing I've seen done on a classical guitar perhaps xD

[@huutuongquan3649]

😁

[@danielmoncayo3322]

Obra llevada a la altísima performance. Gran obra, gran intérprete.

[@circycle]

Ridiculously good

[@leonpetersen7346]

Gallen is mostly brilliant....but that guitar is also just fabulous...

[@tritone3284]

Beautiful and exquisite. Que guitarra es esta?Paco Santiago Marín??

[@christofinb]

Superb and Brouwer seems to suit your playing, playing on your lap is virtually unheard of these days for CG I’m for it but for the skeletal and muscular problems it might create I’m against also how it might restrict your ability to express a piece with body/mind/spirit fully, not lacking here though.
Technically you surpass anything I can ever dream of anyway.

[@thierrynakache]

Strange music ! 🤔😃

[@AndreyLitvinandrey2333]

This not a music... A don't know why people listen this ...

[@AndreyLitvinandrey2333]

I play professional guitar, and really don't understand this WTF😢

[@jackkurasik8371]

Cross legged is nothing wrong, if it's comfortable for some, then no issue. Why talk about it?
It's even handy when you're around without a footstool, and about to play the guitar.

[@AndreyLitvinandrey2333]

This not a music!!!
