My dad plays this exact way I love how slow it is from other covers that are really fast and that kinda takes the emotion away but this one you can totally feel the emotion
Every time I hear this piece or play it myself, it fells like a bliss of solitude... The tune of this piece just makes this rough and competitive world so easy, kind and simple in moments and express a generous and pious love story!
I have played this song countless times over 17 years
It was the first romance that I had with a song
Fully understand ❤
The Spanish Guitar is a superb musical instrument!
I'm from Portugal. I grew up kinda feeling that "spanish" guitar was a bit "too spanish" for me. Years went by, the internet was a thing, so suddenly I could experience stuff from all over the world. Japanese traditional music became one of my favourites. But then with Alexandra I went back to my roots and I realized this kind of music was in my heart all along. Now, my feeling is that I am so glad that anyone who grows up outside of Portugal/Spain is able to become a master of that guitar playing that is absolutely 100% sure to touch our hearts. I'm honoured and I wish more people from Portugal and Spain would keep up this music tradition that just sings to your soul. Cheers all and thanks, Alexandra :)
I am American. This song is brilliant, and Alexandra plays it masterfully.
Why "Spanish" guitar between inverted commas? It is indeed a Spanish guitar.
@@highhopes1616 Indeed! Modern one was created on 1850 in Spain as an evolution from the mandolin. Roots goes back to XIV century (vihuela)
This song has been playing in my head for over 35 years, ever since I played Jet Set Willy 2 on C64. I finally got a classical guitar this week, been over 30 years since I last had one, and my first, even if very ambitious, goal is to learn this song.
How's it going, you should have made some progress?
La première partie est très abordable... Courage
La mélodie sans doute la plus connue de chacun d'entre nous.
Mais l'avons-nous déjà entendue avec autant d'élégance, de fraîcheur, de naturel et de poésie qu'ici ?
Personnellement, j'en doute et pourtant, en raison de mon âge avancé, une multitude d'interprétations d'artistes prestigieux se bousculent dans ma mémoire.
Alexandra est une étoile et je crois bien qu'elle brille un peu plus que toutes les autres.
Oh Alexandra, this is most beautiful indeed. It is always my pleasure to listen to you play. ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I've been playing this one for almost 42 years. By far, my favorite.
dear Alexandra,
When I see you, it's as if the skies open up. The sound of your guitar is like a beautiful symphony that serenades my soul.
🌹🥰💐💐💐
This should be the first video when searching Spanish Romance.
She is an absolutely brilliant classical guitarist, but her interpretation of this is very bland, well played but dull.
@@loveclaasiclguitar2402 I think differently, her expression is easily seen. I believe the expression is missed on you my friend.
@@loveclaasiclguitar2402 Well if ‘bland’ = superb tone colour and quality, technically brilliant and beautiful but sparingly used vibrato - then I agree, totally bland. I prefer ‘under-stated’, Alexandra has let the piece express itself, whereas many other classical guitarists try to embellish this piece and get it wrong. This version is hauntingly beautiful, the way it’s meant to be.
@brianferguson1888 "Superb tone colour", really? Now I know you are going full nonsense. The reaches people find when the musician is pretty....
I donated to her Patreon for the last year because I've used a lot of her performances for memorization purposes, she's brilliant, this interpretation is not
@@nathanbolton4139 oddly I don't think so, if this was a black screen with the name John Smith attached you wouldn't have given this performance a second look. As I said before it's fine, but very flat
Such a nice country home. I'd love to be there ❤
Beautiful music and a joy to see your playing.👏👏
Magniificent! I've memorized this piece....but I'm still learning to play it! Your rendition is beautiful. Thanks!
I'm currently studying this part and I really love the nuances you put in this part, great example, thank you.
No pretense, funny chords, just the purest music, thank you dear lady.. 🤗
it's great to be immersed in this relaxing music .. all my fatigue seems to vanish and now it's just relaxing💖💖💖
Ahh, one of my favorites! Thank you Ms Whittingham!
Marvellous music as always ! Thanks for sharing !
Thank you for sharing this beautiful work of art!
Excellent piece for such a talent musician!!!❤❤❤❤
This may be my favorite. Everything is perfection. Brava❣
a simple piece beautifully played by Alexandra... thank you
I love you Alexandra! Great performance
My first (and only) guitar teacher told me few players cradle the guitar this way, and of course a plectrum (pick) must be employed. Caveat Emptor. Beautiful cover, thank you!
I recently learned this song and it makes me feel so loved and warm and I feel so sleepy even if it’s the middle of the day. I think it’s becoming my favorite song to play.
Also I love your guitar playing
Love what you are doing with the book and videos. Great stuff. Should inspire a whole new generation.
Such beautiful playing. ❤❤❤
So beautifully played
Absolutely lovely. A nice way to cap off my midnight hour of listening to music on TH-cam. Salutations from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA. 💜 💙

I bought your new book. Will make an effort to learn a few songs before the year ends. Thank you!
Just like Tabei, I think it this song sounds way better in the tempo you played. Simply beautiful.
Awesome thanks ❤
Thanks ❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic. I use to be able to play the first 30 secs or so of this...
When the most beautiful woman in youtube plays beautiful music, it's mesmerizing, When the video is over, her face and her music is still very much in your head. They will stay in your heart.
Beautiful Performance in Beautiful Location. ♫♥♫
Thank you!
Beautifully played! This lovely piece, though, reminds me of a game that my kids played on our C-64 many years ago. It was called Jet Set Willy, and used this music. The association sticks! I believe it was also used in a film called 'Forbidden Games'.
Una belleza la interpretación y por supuesto la interprete
Thank you
