The issue with the guitar is the volume is too low, a guitar can't compete in loudness with a violin, let alone the brass... The amplifier makes the guitar sound unnatural, it feels lie being inside the guitar it's weird. That said i would love to have a guitar section.
@@davidcia this is true, if only historically there were architectural adaptations to compensate and enhance the acoustics for guitars. Theatres were and are of course built with that in mind, but for guitars in orchestras would be really cool if possible; still wouldn't be feasible as even attempting that would ruin the acoustics for all other instruments in the ensemble of the orchestra. Welp, these are my ramblings for the day
Hahah this arrangement is so much fun! Fantastic work from the Quartet! (And it is easy to forget to appreciate what a well-crafted work this is by Liszt - its ubiquity can make us take a lot of the great melodic gestures, the call-backs, the playful rhythms for granted - in fact this music was pretty "out there" for the 1850s.)
In my opinion, the fact that classical music doesn't usually have words is what makes it better than popular music.. it's left up to the listener to interpret what the piece is about!
I am in awe! Bellisimo. I can't get enough of these guys now. A business associate is married to one of these fine gentlemen and I feel like I've been missing out on a gem in my own town. Bravo LAGQ. Andele!
As one who grew up playing classical (and other styles of) piano, I know quite a bit about music, and I too am appalled by some of these comments. These gentlemen are truly master musicians, and I would buy an album of their music in a heartbeat. I live in the D.C. area but am from SoCal, and I would definitely take the opportunity to see them when I am next in LA.
That's a great song.... People say that it was in Tom and Jerry, Loonie Tunes and so on, but nobody says that: yes, this came from a Hungarian virtouso!
it seems to be an extension to the guitar i think its an extra bass string for the lower parts of the this transcription thats why no one else plays except him at about 2:35 into the video
@musicman8942 idk if you've ever noticed or not, but a lot of classical guitarist use these "braces" as opposed to footrests. in fact, i went to see these guys a couple nights ago and two of the four of them were using them, scott tennant wasnt using anything. and he still tore it up.
Yes, it's true that most people know classical music through cartoons, but it's better than them not knowing it at all, and not listening to it because it "has no words" as some of the girls on my bus say when I ask them about classical music.
hhhhh this is somehow weard for me, it is the first time for me to get the chance to talk to someone starting his day when I getting ready for bed but I really like it
@musicman8942 Its all about posture for the classical guitar, with a strap you wouldnt have the same capabilities, tone, or physical ability to sustain playing on the classical guitar. The brace is just a replacement for the footstool, the footstool is just to hold the guitar higher for the left hand. Hope this helped :D
Pretty awesome! But I must say that this piece played with classical guitar doesn't sound very dramatic on those fast parts. It sounds kinda "pling plong" but that is just because of the sound of the instrument. But anyway great performance.
This is why I believe symphony orchestra need a guitar section. Guitars add a whole new dimension to music.
Listen to the 1984 Dune movie soundtrack
It’s by the band Toto and it’s really amazing

O som do violão é muito mais bonito que o som do piano
whoa... that extra bass string on John's guitar makes this piece so incredible!!
I missed that...thanks for pointing that out!
What are they tuned at?
@@saus2818 drop d.
Beautiful rendition of Franz Liszt's Rhapsody No. 2.
WOW !
Absolutely love this arrangement and performance !
So beautiful music Franz Liszt
Marvalous interpretation of an all time masterpiece composition.
Love it Liszt would of been proud!

I love the music and arrangement.
Thank you for this. :) I'm hungarian and love it :)
Really splendid and great arrangement!!!
Brilliant coordination
I sincerely thank you gentlemen for this absolute treasure.

Wonderful musicians! I was lucky to have seen them before Andrew York left.
Some of the greats of animation cared deeply about good music. I'm sure they would love to know they helped bring people here.
totally awesome!!! perfect tempo and with FEELING!!
what the fun to watch and listen to this version, the best guitar arrangement ever!
for some reason, i like the guitar version more than the piano version. this is so charming..
for some reason I think you are insane
@@duartepombo551 yes, musically insane.
WOW! That was truly amazing!
Un excelente arreglo y adaptación para 4 guitarras. Congratulaciones.
Great arrangement and performance!
HOLY CRAP this Amazing I thoght i wasnt going to like just because of the guitairs BUT I was AMAZED......GREAT JOB!!!!!!!
Amazing arrangement. Very exciting. Brilliant!
Love to see these guys live. The Holland Center in Omaha would be a great venue.
Love it
Excellent. A very clean and accurate performance of an obviously very technical piece.
Beautiful masterpiece
beautiful arrangement!!!!
I am in awe! Bellisimo. I can't get enough of these guys now. A business associate is married to one of these fine gentlemen and I feel like I've been missing out on a gem in my own town. Bravo LAGQ. Andele!
How beautiful!
Which one of the men is the business associate married too?
so moving thanks for these recordings
Raymond Scott would have LOVED this!! I sure do.

AMAZING~!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic!!!
Wow....!!!! The Best...!!!!
I LOVE THIS VERSION. I THIK IS THE BEST. THESE GUYS ARE GREAT!!!!! I'LL NEVER GET TIRED OF LISTEN TO IT.
So beautiful ....
THE BEST GUITAR QUARTET .
Magnificent.

Smooth. Very Smooth.
Beautiful. Just what the doctor ordered today.
I love it, I feel like I'm in a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
Fantastico arreglo!!
beautiful
Wonderful and a whole lot more
I am amazed at some of the comments. They obviously know very little about music.
As someone who knows very little of music, it's more that they're trolls, or a certain type of idiot

Why are you amazed by this? Do you know much about atronomy? About anatomy? About every single thing? Why should they?
@ so you're telling me you have to know more than a little music to express your opinion/comment on a music video
@ it was an example dude...
wonderful.
4:38 AMAZING.
4:38 :))
amazing!! sick even...
Belíssimo!!!
Muito bom, parabéns!
awesome!
veeeeeeery niiiiiiiiiice!!
i love this song!
lizt was the best!
bloody brilliant !!!!!!! 5*
You are the best guitarist in the world....!!!amazing...
Stunning.
Am I the only one that hears a little 'Capricho Arabe' by Tarrega in this?
thats nic3!!!
Parabéns, excelente apresentação!!!!
That's a great song.... People say that it was in Tom and Jerry, Loonie Tunes and so on, but nobody says that: yes, this came from a Hungarian virtouso!
Шикарно
Magnifico!!!
This song is indeed playable on 1 guitar. I tried it already but it sounds choppy on 1 guitar alone. Probably need 2 guitars to make it flow nicely.
it seems to be an extension to the guitar
i think its an extra bass string for the lower parts of the this transcription
thats why no one else plays except him at about 2:35 into the video
Favoloso
Beethoven said a guitar is a mini-orchestra. These guys say 4 guitars is an orchestra.
Amazing!!!!

WOW... very nice ;) !!!
sin palabras...
Bravo
C génial !!!!!!!!!!!
INSANE !!!!!!!!!!!! :)
AMAZING!!!
fantástico!
Csodás.......

1:28 - 1:46 is just AMAZING!!!!
pretty good,
I loved it.
I think that ... they were in control
محمد العيمش absolutely
it is almoust middnight here
have a nice evening
It's 8:06 pm here, have a nice night.
hhhhh this is somehow weard for me, it is the first time for me to get the chance to talk to someone starting his day when I getting ready for bed
but I really like it
Hey boys! Siete formidabili!
it's wonderfull
They had great music in the old theatrical cartoons. Modern cartoons rarely play with the old masterworks.
@musicman8942 Its all about posture for the classical guitar, with a strap you wouldnt have the same capabilities, tone, or physical ability to sustain playing on the classical guitar.

Epic!!!!!!!
People you are virtuoso musicians, but this sounds like a part of the suite Espagnola and not a composition by Franz Liszt, greetings from Vienna,
Molto bello, molto bravi!
These guys make me want to get my chops up so insanely badly
WOW !!!
Eletrizante!
40 fingers of Joy!
@An1malcr0ss1ng AND the Animaniacs cartoon "Wakko's Wish", where the melody was given lyrics in "The Wishing Star" song.
@zacrichey The strap is not a physical inconvenience. If you look up guitarist David Starobin you can see what he does with the guitar... :)
5:44 Sounds like a banjo playing country music haha
Lmfao it does
Kronos LOL
ABSOLUTELY, such a beautiful passage of this magnum opus.
You could say that perhaps there is a Liszt or Hungarian influence in country music.
İn any way like it.
Pretty awesome! But I must say that this piece played with classical guitar doesn't sound very dramatic on those fast parts. It sounds kinda "pling plong" but that is just because of the sound of the instrument. But anyway great performance.
A very difficult piece for the piano. I'm sure it is equally difficult on four guitars. Good show.
