this piece is insanely hard and she performed it while producing sounds with studio mixing quality. I worship your talent, your dedication your productivity and everything
Now that I've viewed this video at least 50 times in the past 2 months, time to comment: Truly one of the most beautiful performances I've ever seen. Bravo!!
Good god this girl is amazing. To think it usually takes two guitars in the hands of two proficient musicians to achieve this. Outstanding musicianship.
Check out Evan Marshall. He's a mandolinist who has perfected the duo style. He always sounds like there are two mandolinists playing. Look for his transcription of Rossini's William Tell Overture. He has a degree in musical performance in violin, but he loves mandolin. He plays violin but rarely on stage. When I've seen him play violin, I've been stunned. He's superb at both.
My favorite De Falla. No. My favorite classical solo piece for the last 50 years. And now, my favorite guitar performance of it. I cannot stop watching and re-watching you, Miss Vardanyan. All your videos are beyond marvelous.
For everyone asking about the arrangement, I used Keigo Fujii's arrangement which is available in a PDF form online if you search for it. I used that as a base, but I changed a few octaves of the accompaniment, I added notes in some places and took a couple of ornaments out. I changed the part around the descending scale and changed the fingerings in a number of places. I didn't write any of it down, because it was easier to just memorize it than to write the changes.
I can't tell the changes you make it sound so natural as if it was meant to be played this way. Segovia said in an interview he laughed when presented with arrangements because they were 'impossible' to play the way composer intended. Alluding to the idea that certain things had to be changed to make the piece playable. You crafted a masterful version of your own. I am in love with your playing!
Es verdaderamente impresionante tu interpretación. Es una obra que originalmente Manuel De Falla escribió para orquesta. La primera versión que escuché fue la de Paco de Lucía, y me parece que tenía una segunda guitarra de acompañamiento. La segunda versión que escuché fue a dúo, por los más grandes guitarristas de finales del siglo XX: Julian Bream y John Williams. Tu interpretación reproduce la obra de De Falla de una manera nítida, impecable. Te felicito.
@@JayleenInChains it has been played duet. she has to play with very stretched fingering while maintaining the tempo and moving along the fret. it's not easy. i see somewhere she lose the rhythm for keeping the sentence going on. it's a very difficult piece for the solo playing.
Bravo: finalmente un intérprete que enfatiza la nota sensible (0,19: 0,21; 2,44 y 2,46) que le da el toque de genialidad a la armonía de Falla y que casi nunca se resalta, primando el ritmo trepidante a la armonía detallista. Gracias Gohar !!
Finally one that puts that Spanish touch for Spanish music, makes me feel the real meaning of the piece with the flamenco rasgueos and picados. Excellent!
Wow. I'm listening to it again. I love the energy you give to this piece. Played crisply and at the required tempo: quickly and lively. The strums are strong, forceful, and wild! A very nice piece from a compositional standpoint that is played confidently and with brio.
This is by far the best solo-guitar version of this piece that I have heard, and I think I have heard most/all of them. I love the way you throw in the perfect grace notes at no extra charge!
I am stunned beyond words for your virtuosity! I will listen to your dynamic performance several more times before commenting. You are so wonderfully talented.
Excellent performance considering that this musical masterpiece has been played in the past by very capable duets and now by a single player. Very good arrangement and playing!! Bravo!!!
Wow!!! I've listened to this piece many times, but this the first I've seen it performed. Fantastic! Btw, I heard your interview with Bret Williams. It's how I learned about you.
BRAVO!!! I played this back in 1985 when I was in a Guitar Duo with Geoff Bonenberger During that summer, we had the opportunity to play it in a Master Class for John Williams in Spain. With that being said, what you have done with this piece is Masterful, Colorful and BRILLIANT! ! Most people that hear and see you play "La Vida Breve" have no idea the high level of technique required to play at this level. The changes you made are no big deal. I loved your performance. If you ever travel to Las Vegas to perform, , I'd like to do a video interview with you and post it on my entertainment blog, Las Vegas News Blog. . Keep inspiring people with your music! Keep Being Brilliant, Robby
What?!?!? Navegando por TH-cam vengo y me encuentro con esto... estoy flipando, la mejor interpretación de Falla que he visto con diferencia... 😳👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is so brilliant I feel very lucky to have heard you play this live at Classical Guitar Corner summer school. Yours is a wonderful and rare talent. The music comes alive under your fingers!
¡FANTASTICO! suena a mi tierra y te lo dice un Gaditano de Cadiz ¡Ole mi paisano "MANUEL DE FALLA"! por su legado musical y ¡Ole tu por tu interpretación! me ha encantado, Gracias. Saludos desde Cadiz.
No hay casi nada de flamenco-gitano en la interpretación. Se queda en lo clásico, sin obviar que es una excelente guitarrista, pulcra y disciplinada. Saludos.
On another note, I just noticed that you had the tone of classical guitarist combined with the rythim of a flamenco guitarist. Your tresolos (all of your strumming actually) are very beautifully executed. A truely rare feat for classical guitarists.
wow.. i mean i've heard this piece before.. but I haven't heard it played like THIS before... you have so much talent.. thank you for the inspiration :)
Gohar, je vous adresse toutes mes félicitations. Cette pièce déjà difficile à jouer à deux guitares, vous parvenez à la sublimer avec une seule guitare. Que votre chemin soit jonché de petites merveilles comme cette Vida breve.
Wow this is awesome i am very impressed... in awe, for sure... i think i heard William Kanengiser play this... her playing on this reminded me of William... Gohar you are fabulous. Cheers Doyen
Gran interpretacion de la transcripcion de la danza N1 de Manuel de Falla ejecutada con maestria buen fraceo y caracter interpretativo felicidades amiga¡¡
Quite magnificent. A joy to listen to. Not simply breathtaking technique to marvel at but wonderful music beautifully and passionately expressed. It is hard to stop replaying this. Thank you, Gohar. :-) x
My favorite piece! ... re-arranged. Like two guitars, but in only one! (except ever synchronized). Went by fast...; como La Vida Breve. Thank you! You don't let go of the rhythmic drive, do you? Great courage.
By each new piece performed, you are proving one step closer to stars! Tecnique, music, speed and understanding in very detail, you have it all. Bravo!
Dear Gohar You are so hi level guitarist, I love everything about you the technique the musicality the energies, your understanding the secretes of the right and left hand technique, Guitarist so talented like you, you have to be in the category on perfection like Yehudi Menuhin, Hefts etc, haw ever I'm sure that you hear sum buzzing place in the peace and I now that you are unhappy with that. What I can tell you is that you can't allow yourself to let this happen to your playing, because you are member of the greatest instrumental player in the world, so it's must to be perfect. Its seems to be very easy for you to correct it. Congratulation I'm a fan on you. yosef
Please explain what do you mean by "sum buzzing place in the peace". Nothing in La Vida Breve es about peace! Brío y más brío! Enjoy life, it is brief!
I'm not sure if its the piece, or the way you play it, but every time I'm clicking around bored on TH-cam, I always come back to watch this again. I must have seen it a couple dozen times by now! The video live from Baldwin Wallace was mind blowing awesome, as are all of yours, but this one is still my favorite!
+Gohar Vardanyan I don't know why this just popped up in my notifications. I haven't made any previous comment on this video or seen it before but anyway I'm glad it did; that was absolutely brilliant. Well done!
This is where Park Jimin got his inspiration from!!! You're so talented:))))
@Manas Ralli same hahaha
Manas Ralli I came from their countries video lol
@Manas Ralli same x2 jsjsjs
@Manas Ralli hey whats the name of video of twoset that you're talking about?
@Manas Ralli thanks!
god, that's what I call a single-person duet. Amazing.
Woww this is so good! Don't be like a pray smooth like a like a snake~
*prey
you are amazing when playing the guitar. Thank you for inspiring the track "LIE" sang by jimin. respect
this piece is insanely hard and she performed it while producing sounds with studio mixing quality. I worship your talent, your dedication your productivity and everything
Now that I've viewed this video at least 50 times in the past 2 months, time to comment: Truly one of the most beautiful performances I've ever seen. Bravo!!
+Dennis Parrish Thank you very much :) I guess it must be you driving the views up :)
+Gohar Vardanyan you're so welcome! This performance has become my morning coffee! :-)
Not just Dennis. I have to listen to your videos over and over again myself! So inspiring! I usually listen to a few right before I begin my practice.
Ghoar è una delle chitarriste più preparate e espressive dei nostri tempi.
Credo che rimarrà una delle migliori.
woww this really nice !!
i came here bc 'LIE' by Jimin
me too LMAO
St S. nega mare...
St S. Same I just found out about this! Damn it BTS!
if you look in the album it says it contains an interpolation from this song
St S. Oh wow i expected that..
Good god this girl is amazing. To think it usually takes two guitars in the hands of two proficient musicians to achieve this. Outstanding musicianship.

Jaw dropping... Have seen this played on two guitars... But to hear it played so richly on one... Talent defies belief.
How does she play this with only two hands?! My god!!
At first i thought it was Cover... (!)
My favorite De Falla. No. My favorite classical solo piece for the last 50 years. And now, my favorite guitar performance of it. I cannot stop watching and re-watching you, Miss Vardanyan. All your videos are beyond marvelous.
Those 10 seconds starting at 1:30 are phenomenal! Congratulations for an outstanding performance!
Yes this is berserk on 2 guitars, very amazing on solo, she makes it look somewhat easy for what it is
Thousands of hours of work condensed into 3 and a half glorious minutes. Beautiful playing
For everyone asking about the arrangement, I used Keigo Fujii's arrangement which is available in a PDF form online if you search for it.

Gohar Vardanyan always heard this as a duet...that sounded awesome Gohar!
Gohar Vardanyan Well played Miss Vardanyan. Sincerest applause

Came directly from TwoSetViolin! Beautiful piece!
Whats wrong with people? Why would you not like this?. Great technique and playing with feeling. Well done.
Well it's obvious that she has the best technique but i'm not sure about the feeling part. It's on the same robotic level all the time
Who didn't enjoy it? I know, it was TOO PERFECT.... yeah, some people don't like that :)
@@JayleenInChains yes, she plays with strict rhythm, for the most part. I like that 💃
@@JayleenInChains it has been played duet. she has to play with very stretched fingering while maintaining the tempo and moving along the fret. it's not easy. i see somewhere she lose the rhythm for keeping the sentence going on. it's a very difficult piece for the solo playing.
@@JayleenInChains do you also play classical guitar?
Outstading!! A superb performance!
Her: *plays intro*
Me: Naege malhae~
so this is where Jimin got his inspiration...Damn good job!you nice,keep going :)
Wow! I am happy to have found your channel !
A whole orchestra in your fingers - you are a wizard !
best regards from Austria,
Wolfgang
Amazing!!
Thank you very much :)
I played this duet with my friend 10 years ago and that was so hard. but this wonderful girl played solo. wow I'm still in shock
NAEGE MARHAE!!!!
This sounds excellent. Thank ypu for inspiring BTS to use this. I dont blame them. Its very beautiful.

Technically impressive and very expressive. Wow! - Athan
Formidabile! Esecuzione eccezionale, semplicemente magnifica!
Finally one that puts that Spanish touch for Spanish music, makes me feel the real meaning of the piece with the flamenco rasgueos and picados. Excellent!
Wow, who else can play this piece? John Williams? Amazing!!
Wow! I first heard this piece it was played as a duet. It was hard enough for 2 players, it must be insanely difficult for 1. Bravo.
Life is brief. That we are not diminished by the brevity of our lives, that is the thing. Well done, Miss Vardanyan
Ur a beast. Absolutely amazing.
Flamenco vital! Como el agua
Wow. I'm listening to it again. I love the energy you give to this piece. Played crisply and at the required tempo: quickly and lively. The strums are strong, forceful, and wild! A very nice piece from a compositional standpoint that is played confidently and with brio.

Añoranzas de lo fuistes capaz de tocat
This is by far the best solo-guitar version of this piece that I have heard, and I think I have heard most/all of them. I love the way you throw in the perfect grace notes at no extra charge!
Once again , the highest level of excellence achieved . As if there's no end to these phenomenal performances . May they never cease !
You are such a talent. No one can play like this. I can hear both of hands clearly!
You're phenomenal, you are a true guitar virtuoso! I'm also a guitarist and I dream of becoming as great as you. I admire you 😍
I am stunned beyond words for your virtuosity! I will listen to your dynamic performance several more times before commenting. You are so wonderfully talented.
Those who put "I don't like" do not understand anything about music or talent. Very good!!!
Simply beautiful 😍, շատ գեղեցիկ է
Excellent performance considering that this musical masterpiece has been played in the past by very capable duets and now by a single player. Very good arrangement and playing!! Bravo!!!
your guitar is perfect and jimin's lie is good with your guitar :)
Excellent!! Ms. Varanyan this is stunning! Thank you.
Can I start breathing again? Unbelievable interpretation, beyond words.
Congratulations!!!!!
This woman is just Amazing, what an incredible performer
Con esta interpretación "te descubrí" hace tres o cuatro años. Son inconcebibles esos pocos "dislikes" que hay en sus impecables interpretaciones.
Wow!!! I've listened to this piece many times, but this the first I've seen it performed. Fantastic!
Btw, I heard your interview with Bret Williams. It's how I learned about you.
Whoever has put dislike or is an envious or is crazy... Bravissima!
Usted tambien es un gran guitarrista.

Extraordiaria interpetración,manejo de primer nivel.Enorme Gohar.
