I had the opportunity twice to hear him play Koyunbaba in live performances in Istanbul and even had a friendly talk. Carlo is not only a composer but a great mind... Long live maestro
Somehow this reminds me of Egberto Gismonti playing his pieces complete with imperfections, being very free with tempos, sounding improvisational, authentic, immediate. A special magic, and captured on a recording.
This broke my brain. Have been listening to LiJui’s version my whole life and now I listen to this..keep expecting it to go in one direction and he skips my expectation and dances around with all this subtle complexity..oh they’re his phrasings I can tell that this is coming from the source. What an interesting guy. Got a headache now.
This is a wonderful version, so much more tender, full of color and expression, nuance... best version I've heard. I guess if this is played by Domeniconi, then he knows what it is supposed to sound like..
@@antoniodehonestis3536 I think his original recording has a tenderness that most other guitarists aren't hearing. So much "mechanical" playing of music these days, without, in my opinion, understanding of what is being played, and thus, lacking the emotion...
Με τον ποιμένα του ντομενικονι έκλεισε τα μάτια του ο αγαπημένος μου.του άρεσε πολύ και το έπαιζε και ο ίδιος στην κιθάρα του που σίγησε για πάντα.καθε που το ακούω μου σπαραζει την καρδιά!!
Williams has wonderful tone, but Domeniconi's version, like you said, is just a totally different thing... Domeniconi's is different from all the other interpretations. Whatever Domeniconi was feeling when he wrote, then played this, is so felt in the playing, the nuance, colors, shades, the "distance." This version TAKES me some place. No other version does. Nobody else, to me, anyway, seems to get this, to hear this in Domeniconi's playing. They run right through it, and mostly, just play the notes. They don't play the "heart". And, Domeniconi's trills are insane...
JW’s version is beautiful and technically better but obviously Domeniconi had a better idea of what he wanted the piece to sound like. The JW version sounds like an impressionistic music but this one reminds me of my trips to Turkey and listening to their local instruments.

My least favorite guitar composition ever. I probably would like it a bit more if it wasn't for all the people blindly following john williams and playing whatever he plays
This statement makes no sense. There is a whole new generation of virtuosos out there, who plays a lot of different music and cares nothing about what the older generation played. On top of that, a lot of players have played this piece, not just Williams. Williams is mostly known for having made iconic recordings of Albeniz and Scarlatti and for making Augustine Barrios a household name among guitarist. This is the composer playing his own piece, that's not "following" Williams in any sense of the word.
@@Pladderkasse I'm not commenting on this specific recording, but the general trend of young, clueless guitarists playing it. While williams wasn't the only one that's played this piece, he certainly contributed a lot to its popularity. Of course the new generation of virtuosos don't play it, they are virtuosos with mature tastes. I'm talking about your average music school student being forced to play this (by conventional western music standards) dreadful piece because they or their teachers don't know any better.
@@Rodrigo-me6nq In my experience, nobody gets forced to play anything. That is antiquated pedagogy. Students are encouraged to find out, what they gravitate to musically, because it both makes the art of teaching easier, the student more motivated and is an early foundation for building a repertoire. If anyone is forced to playing something, then it's a case of a lousy teacher or a bad institution. The whole idea is like 30 years in the past.
@@Rodrigo-me6nq HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHSHHS! You made my day. I hope you play better than your mind works, but I really doubt it. Stay strong, dude! 60 more years and life will be over for you.

RIP those who haven't found this song 🙏🏼😇
Like a spirit blow. Mille merci 😊R
Caro e Leggendario Carlo Domeniconi !!! infinita gratitudine sempre grazie per questo meraviglioso dono!!
Easily one of the most beautiful pieces for solo guitar ever written
Damn it!!!! THIS is how this piece is played!!! Thank you
So lucky that I’ve listen to him playing Koyunbaba live in Ankara, Turkiye many years ago. Unforgettable!
Wow. How fortunate!!
nice!! must have been quite a thing!!

Could you show the LiJui's version to us, please?

I came across her maybe 20 years ago, ppl keep mentioning John Williams’s version, I’ve never heard it.
@@carfamily5701 I've been hearing to LiJie's version for more than 10 years now, it's ingrained in my brain by now
Bende ayni senin gibiyim
It's on TH-cam - well worth the listen.

Yes, It's played by Carlo Domeniconi, taken by Selected Works: "25 years Koyunbaba" - copyright 2009 musica - ex - tempora www.edition-ex-tempore.de/

@@shanefrancis8947 I agree.
Beethoven, Bach, Mozart .. . . . they are dead. But this genious is alive. Respect to the master
Nothing like the mind and heart of a composer behind his own instrument or in front of his own orchestra …
great music! Masterpiece for Guitar! Dream Player!Bravissimo! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤
It’s a shame this recording doesn’t get the exposure that others do. By far, it has more musical subtlety than any other performances of it.
Paulo Martelli has been my 'goto' for this piece for ages. So happy this showed up in my recommendations.
First listen through. I can't get over how different it is. Its just amazing, there is so much extra going on.
This has given me goosebumps! The best recording of this piece so far! It's very nice to listen to the composer playing his own composition.👍
This has a unique tuning which gives it that awesome resonance..a bit like Celtic tuning
The birth of a legenday piece of music.
Thanks for Sharing this master piece from the master! No one plays is better.
Unbelievable...💓💓💓💕

Beautiful, by far my favorite composer ever ❤️
Excellent.

Bir çok an var aklımda kırmızı koltukta koyun baba çaldığın. Unutmaktan korktuğum anlar. Senin olduğun yaşadığın ve güldüğün...
Koyunbaba is greek
i've heard john william's version so much that this feels like a completely new take on koyunbaba ahahah
also best sound quality so far

This performance is better than John Williams’ version.

Very naturally playing,as if improvised
Where the hell can I listen to the rest of the album this piece was first released on?

GOOD OK
Koyunbaba is greek
😂😂😂😂😂
No, Koyunbaba is İndian
Since EVERYTHING is greek, then i guess my shit is greek too...
did this guy ever know what the turks did to italians ? ?
he went to turkey and lived there??? and learned their culture ?
What did they do and when? And do you know what Italians (Venetians, Genoese) did to Turks?🤔
what a stuid ass comment
u know what italians did to Europe? bankrupted Europe. Italians also caused WW2. worst people ever
That was a long time ago. People grow and evolve from the previous conflicts
