What makes Pepe's interpretations so great is that he takes his time with the music, really digging into its emotional essence. So many people just want to be flashy, they miss the point of the piece!
This is the first time I’ve heard this song where you can actually hear every note in the first few bars instead, to use the word you use, a flashy, my words blurry mess of the notes. The pieces carries so much more played like this. He’s a master for a reason.
@@zachcregle2931 Interpretation is alright and some play the piece better than the one who composed it..But there are also players who try to stay true to what is written..If fast parts sound blurry at an attempt to play what is written there is something wrong with the guitarist, the instrument, what is written or the hearing of the listener.
What makes Pepe's interpretation so great is ...is the man is de F***ing Pepe Romero playing a guitar...a legend , a maestro, a Master, a incredible artist
About every 2 years Pepe gave a concert in San Francisco. The auditorium venue was always sold out. Pepe knew the SF crowd was real guitar fanatics. He played pieces like this and others just to show his skill instead of the flashy better known pieces. Each time he would play this piece where each pluck of the string was soft and quiet. Then he would get louder and louder gradually. Only Pepe could do this. The crowds were stunned and gave standing ovation each time.
Segovia was like that too. I still recall attending one his concerts in 1965 in Cleveland (yes, THAT Cleveland). Only a few performers have legendary status.
No matter how good I get at classical guitar and out of respect for Tárrega, I don’t feel I’m worthy of touching that guitar. If the people gave me the guitar to try, I’d politely refuse to touch it.
Been playing this song for the better part of 15 years. I first learned it from a master class (on dvd). Listened to this interpretation and performance once, and it has completely changed the way I think of this song. The phrasing is glorious, what a master
I can’t believe I grew up with this talented family in Del Mar, playing soccer together and watching the whole family perform every cinco de mayo! My junior high math teacher took me to see them at the Hollywood Bowl and made me realize how big they are. A true national treasure!
Ademas de la velocidad, es el sonido de los dedos en las cuerdas, cuando hace los ornamentos es belleza absoluta, es un sonido cremoso, sedoso que hacen las Yemas de sus dedos, no se escucha metalico como los demas guitarristas. yo creo que es el conjunto de la maravillosa guitarra y el propio Pepe que hace esta interpretacion tan hermosa, para mi es la mejor version que existe de capricho arabe.
Romero accentuates every note; his phrasing is excellent. It was like hearing Capricho Arabe played the way it should sound. He really is a grand master.
Romantic and wonderful classical guitar music. Thank you very much, Francisco Tárrega Musician, Classical Guitarist Pepe Romero, Antonio De Torres Guitar and Guitar Salon International. 🌹💖🌹💖🌹💖🌹💖
This instantly brings back memories of a trip to Granada some years ago. We stopped for a drink at a small place somewhere in the city when suddenly a luthier test-played one of his guitars. He got carried away by the sound of his instrument very quickly and started noodling the spanish way for a while. I don't have any more intense memories of that journey and Mr. Romero brought them back effortlessly. Thanks a lot!
Que responsabilidad tocar esta hermosa pieza en una guitarra del maestro de Torres, que alguna vez perteneció al mismísimo Francisco Tárrega. Hermosamente tocado, con una calidez y claridad sin igual. Felicitaciones y gracias por la inolvidable interpretación. Un saludo desde Argentina!
Man this is the best version so far. Initially I was sceptical about the pacing but it grew on me and tone of this guitar is phenomenal. The piece itself is other worldly
It is a blessing to be able to watch and listen to grand master playing on the grand master’s work. Arrangement sounds very emotional and that was how he was feeling this moment. It is wonderful to hear not always same arrangements. It makes each moment in history unique and special.
Extraordinary music! When played like this (but who else can?), every single note tells not only its own story, but also the story of this piece as a whole. I feel now like I finally know what this music really says.
Perfecta interpretación de una de esas joyas intemporales del repertorio español: Tárrega, Albéniz, Granados, Falla, Malats... No todos tocan bien aunque conozcan las piezas: hay que darles el tempo que requieren, el volumen, timbre y musicalidad de cada nota... Este es un maestro.
Such a masterful performance by one of the greats! He really makes that aged instrument sing! I am so glad the strings used were included in the description-they have a wonderful tone-of course mainly due to the Maestro's skill and the instrument, as well!
I listened to three or four versions of this piece this morning by different musicians. Pepe takes the gold. Everybody knows how to play this lyrically… Pepe plays it musically. Brings tears to my eyes, which is the ultimate test. Everyone else was soothing-not bad, but not MUSICAL.
What a beautiful tone! Torres guitars are surely the Stradivarius of guitars. Pepe is probable the perfect player to demonstrate the exquisite sound of a Torres guitar.
@@diydad7704 exactly, a guitar requires much more tone from the fingers than the violin(although tone is still important its kinda necessary for a good violin for a nice and listenable interpretation)
Ich liebe Pepe Romero und seine Musik berührt mich nach wie vor. Ein Held meiner Jugend! Als Arzt, der die Helden seiner Jugend auf TH-cam hört aber auch auch selber in den Spiegel schaut: wie vergänglich wir sind! Ich verneige mich vor der Kunst diese Maestro.
Her nota ayrı ayrı anlamlı şekilde icra edilmiş, bu yorum tarzı eserin ruhunu ön plana çıkarıyor, Pepe Romeo daha hızlı çalsaydı bile, yine bu özenli tarzını korurdu. Büyük bir usta. Saygılarımla…
Escuchando tantas versiones de Ana Vidovic, Sharon isbin y muchos más, hay algo en la interpretación del Maestro Pepe Romero que la hace única, es un sonido tan exquisito, los ornamentos son tan bellos, hay pura magia en sus dedos.❤❤
È Spagnolo ha molti anni in più ed è chiaramente romantico. Lo vedevo spesso da Yuris Zeltin che metteva a punto le sue chitarre.Non gli ho mai parlato ma mi salutava ogni volta cordialmente.Yuris mi ha mostrato la sua Torres di acero dicendomi "Non posso fartela nemmeno reggere ma toccala delicatamente così potrai raccontarlo"
Beautiful performances. I wasn't watching carefully in the beginning, just listening. And, I quickly noticed that the guitar sounded noticeably better than the Ramirez he usually plays. The Torres is so balanced and rich across all tonal frequencies. I think Spruce makes the best sounding tops. Thanks

Pepe has advised students "do not play the next note until you long for it".

The opposite can also be true, balancing the two ''interpretations'' is what extracts the beauty from music.
About every 2 years Pepe gave a concert in San Francisco. The auditorium venue was always sold out. Pepe knew the SF crowd was real guitar fanatics. He played pieces like this and others just to show his skill instead of the flashy better known pieces. Each time he would play this piece where each pluck of the string was soft and quiet.

Segovia was like that too. I still recall attending one his concerts in 1965 in Cleveland (yes, THAT Cleveland). Only a few performers have legendary status.
He's playing Capricho on a guitar once owned by Tárrega himself! This piece has truly come home.
No matter how good I get at classical guitar and out of respect for Tárrega, I don’t feel I’m worthy of touching that guitar. If the people gave me the guitar to try, I’d politely refuse to touch it.
@@kgunitkeese17, Not me. I'd give Larimar and/or Pavana a go on it.
I would use it to steam my momos
In all of Pepe's work I love his phrasing and feeling. Every note and every silence has its role.

He is listening as he plays, nuancing every phrase.
I can’t believe I grew up with this talented family in Del Mar, playing soccer together and watching the whole family perform every cinco de mayo! My junior high math teacher took me to see them at the Hollywood Bowl and made me realize how big they are. A true national treasure!
I love how gracefully he plays, such character and color. He really brings the melodies to life❤
This is one of my favorite versions I’ve heard. So many players rush it too much.

A classical guitar giant playing one of the most iconic musical pieces on the instrument once owned by Tarrega himself. Amazing!
Every note you play is a pearl.
Romero accentuates every note; his phrasing is excellent. It was like hearing Capricho Arabe played the way it should sound. He really is a grand master.

An amazing collaboration between an amazing artist and a legendary instrument. So grateful to GSI for making this possible!
Sentidísima interpretación del gran Pepe Romero, un redescubrimiento de un Tárrega apasionado.

So grateful to have had Pepe as a teacher
as someone always in my corner with a kind word.
I miss flying to Del Mar to study with the Romeros.
How is he as a teacher ? Strict with the technique ? Fun to enjoy with ?
My friend Aaron played this a lot in high school and it brings back good memories to listen to it now. Great recording!
The most beautiful piece of music played by a master.
Every note shines through
the phrasing is impeccable
Excellent really Excellent !!
Je vous admire depuis longtemps… cette interprétation est magnifique. Merci du fond du cœur pour tous ces morceaux partagés🤩
Probably, best performing of capricio on YT
MARAVILLOso EnTODOS MOS IDIOMAS DEL MUNDO,¡GRACIAS POR TANTO ARTE Y BELLEZA!!!
I’ve heard it played many, many times but never has it sounded so emotional. Perfection.

Que maravilla escuchar una guitarra del siglo XIX
Magnifique interprétation pleine de variations de rythme très à propos. J'aime beaucoup cette retenue.
A Beautiful composition and Beautifully performed, Thank you for sharing this true talent.
Gracias, hermosa Melodia! si asi fueran todos los caprichos, la vida seria mas bella.

Muy buena interpretación, indudablemente eres un Gran Consertista de la Guitarra...Muchas Felicitaciones y éxitos rotundos.
Asi debió sonar hace años! Esa era la sensación "imagino" que se quería lograr en esos tiempos. Bien hecho!
An artist ,can close my eyes and listen ,seem something longing and changing .

Bravo, world class performance.
Lovely interpretation, with a natural pace, with no eccentric virtuosity. Thanks for sharing this jewel
Qué gozada...cada nota. Qué maestría. Gracias.
Great Pepe Romero
I know he’s regarded as one of the greatest players and wow this was good.
Sublime. A master at work.
What a beautiful tone! Torres guitars are surely the Stradivarius of guitars. Pepe is probable the perfect player to demonstrate the exquisite sound of a Torres guitar.
That may be true but a guitarists tone is in his fingers.

Que perfeição armoniosa! Valeuuu 😄
Grandissimo, Maestro! Interpretazione raffinata, a una velocità moderata che mi piace.
Fantástica interpretación, cargada de recuerdos de la infancia

That was so stunning. What a sound, goosebumps..
Beautiful articulation. Beautiful story.
Beautifully played, wonderful colours and tone and the tempo blows me away!
Loving Pepe, given me the inspiration to pick up classical guitar and learn a little
His interpretation flows in a nice clean pace. Thank you
The best performance of capricho arabe that i have ever heard 👏 👏 👏 i think that's Exactly the same Tarrega wanted to perform on his mind.
Best performance. Best recording
Her nota ayrı ayrı anlamlı şekilde icra edilmiş, bu yorum tarzı eserin ruhunu ön plana çıkarıyor, Pepe Romeo daha hızlı çalsaydı bile, yine bu özenli tarzını korurdu. Büyük bir usta. Saygılarımla…
perfección absoluta!!!
Mind blowing playing / interpretation
Perfect timing and delivery
His rubato choices are masterful
Amazing
Amazing sound ! Thank you for sharing !
What a beautiful playing.
This is tuned to a432... For those who try to reproduce
Indeed, the base tone is so deep and rich.
Best rendition I've heard thus far - kudos!
Que beleza essa execução!!! BRAVÍSSSIMO!!!!
Thank you it is so great to hear a great guitar and not have to look at it behind glass in an over prices bar.
Great interpretation. Thank you!
Great as Allways
Sounds so intimate ! Never heard a version like this!
Bravissimo!
Manos maravillosas
El Mejor... Pepe Romero.
Bravo!!!👏👏👏
Incredible performance!
It is just perfect.
Maestro Romero, the best at performing Tarrega's repertoire.
Thank you for sharing this video ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🦋
Cuanta belleza!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm practicing it now. I hope I can master this piece 🙏🏻

SENSATIONAL VERY BEAUTIFUL
С раннего детства слышала не раз эту вещь, старший брат был гитарист, играл и дома. Такая чудная музыка и детям понятна, не только взрослым
The Grand Maestro of La Guitarra!
The Master! 👏👏
Just taught this to a student today❤
I would love to spend just five minutes with this guitar 🙂. Soo original...
Felicidades Maestro !!!
Bravo!!!❤
Pepe je prva liga🍀🍀🍀
Grandissimo.
Awesome.
Beautiful performances. I wasn't watching carefully in the beginning, just listening. And, I quickly noticed that the guitar sounded noticeably better than the Ramirez he usually plays. The Torres is so balanced and rich across all tonal frequencies. I think Spruce makes the best sounding tops. Thanks
Not to mention the spruce here must be ancient by now.
I think the intonation is poor on that Torres...
Masterpiece
Segovia was never this good! I'm speechless at 70.
Segovia knocked this out of the park
