If I wanted to convince someone that the classical guitar is the most beautiful of all musical instruments, I would play for him/her this TH-cam video.
Andres Segovia once said the guitar is an entire orchestra.
Cheers!
@@rswatzl3 As he proceeds to play into the mic😆 (biased violinist) wish I could play guitar for this piece
*This*? With her awful sound? You must be hard of hearing.
Well said, and I agree with you 100%!!
@@user-bl9uk6fu6m You must be one of those geniuses that listen to crap... Ahem.... I mean rap.
…I’m in tears.
So beautiful.
Me too 😢❤❤beautiful piece,I'm from November
I just listened to over an hour of a classical guitar competition at Siccas in Germany. Twelve classical guitarists. All Bach pieces on various guitars. Amazing guitarists, but after a few played, I was bored to death. I watched the entire competition, and no winner was declared. They were all so good I don’t now how any on could choose one over the other. Of course, an expert probably could. Then I listen to a piece such as the. one above by by Cuban composer and classical guitarist Leo Brouwer played by Alexandra. She’s part of this moment, while, to me, listening to the competition was like listening to people from a graveyard. Alexandra sparkles. She makes classical pieces out of a Beatles’ song and “Wild Mountain Time,” and even when she plays more classical pieces, the sound contemporary to me. But, of course, that’s just me. I’m hardly an expert on anything. I just know what I like to listen to. And I like listening to Alexandra.
I have just retired and you have inspired me to take up playing the guitar. I will never have your ability but I can listen to you and dream can’t I.
Beautiful phrasing here, plus sensitive musicianship and lovely tone quality; I fell in love with this instrument exactly 50 years ago and still play, teach and listen every day …….music is life 💕🎼
Felt like all my life: my dad played the classical guitar, initially I felt it was old-fashioned, he died of heart problems than I (way too young) started really listening to the stuff, realized that older music stuff was actually not only not "not cool" but, omg, the wisdom imparted! Then many years later there was the internet and there was people like Alexandra just bludgeoning me in my soul about these kind of pieces and I realized I was fortunate to relate. I'm no player myself, but I wish this stuff passes on through the generations between people who understand it because Humanity needs things like this to remember what it feels like to be a loving and feeling human. I'm exhausted by this, in a good way, cheers.
The most crystal clear rendering of this piece I have heard. Fantastic and about perfect.
I love the way Alexandra plays with such feeling and sensitivity so beautiful thank you Alexandra for sharing this
So good to see a person in their element. I bet it feels as good for her to play as it does for us to listen!
Alexandra was graced by the Creator with the gift of praise and excellence to calm tired souls. Bless!!!
I love this piece so much. The guitar tone is so good.
Unbelievable. Haven't seen a musician like this girl in a long time.
Good repertoire and high-level performance. In general, the key of E minor is one of the most musical.
Una interpretación muy limpia, sensible, con carácter, buen guitarrista
I love the way you play...sensible, full of ardor...the way you touch the strings! Great talent! Thanks for sharing
Beautiful

Alexandra, estoy llorando, la vuelvo a ver y vuelvo a llorar...usted es una gran artista, yo siempre digo....artista que me haga llorar es extraordinaria, soy Mexicano, Cuba está muy cerquita de nosotros, muchas gracias a usted y a Leo Brouwer !!!!!! 16-feb-2018.
Perfcto!! Bravo gravíssimo !!
Very pensive and provacative. I love that you don't rush this piece, especially the second part. I've heard guitarists rip through that section, missing the beauty and warmth of it. You don't do that, and I thank you. I've enjoyed lots of your videos. Please keep them coming!
You never fail to impress and although I follow you, I always learn as well as find satisfaction in your play of emphasise, balanced with elegance.
The kind of interpretation that you want to listen , listen , again and again. Nice sound and great flowing from his right hand. Love this.
Simply beautiful!
Très belle interprétation d'une tout aussi belle composition. C'est precis, nuancé...très expressif.....et subtilement filmé comme le capricho arabe .... un grand plaisir
I'm in the process of learning to play this (after first hearing you play it) and I have listened to dozens of interpretations on TH-cam. Musically - tonally, audio, mixing, eq, etc yours is the best, (although I have to watch others for the fingerings :), and as a photographer your videos are exquisiite! I have watched and listened to many of them dozens of times. You are an inspiration.
Such a beautiful but sad song.You play it with such grace and beauty!!!!!
Full, rich notes - a beautiful composition!
I have never heard anyone play the guitar that I’d rather hear than you. Thank you, Alexandra, on this day before my favorite holiday of the year (in the U.S., anyway).
Hermosa interpretación de manos de una bella artista. Me gusta tu estilo y me impresiona tu habilidad en ejecutar esta pieza con mucha soltura. Gracias por tu arte... mereces totalmente el aplauso de la audiencia.
What a beautiful strong and clean sound. So melodic and soul touching. This song is my all-time favorite. Practically everything realy good for me happened in November!
Very romantic- this song is like a breath of fresh air. Thanks for posting this.
Una obra maestra creada por el cubano Leo ..en manos de una excelente instrumentista
Une superbe pièce très joliment jouée. C’est splendide ! 👍
All is absolutely beautiful: the music, the recording and light, the player... what else?
Nice to see a local girl with so much talent, quality Northern English Star.
I love this piece even more.
I listened to this wonderful melody in November, in December, in January, ... I will always listen to it until the end of my life.
Beautiful, Ms Wittingham . . . beautiful! Exactly as I've always wanted to hear this haunting melody--saudade, longing--with a feeling of wistfulness.
Such a peaceful tune!
Alexandra Whittigham, es magistral su interpreación de Un dia de Noviembre del maestro Leo Brower, me hace llorar. Gracias. 10.12.19
Beautiful piece. AND from the UK & north. Yayy.
I'll always love this interpretation.
Love you and your playing.....so much passion and love into your music. You must be an angel sent from heaven for us......
Beautiful, clear in tone quality, and one of my favorite pieces of all time! Within this piece Brouwer showcases Cuban music in a most beautiful and meloncoly way! I, as an American composer, am working towards this goal within most of my works to show others how and what life is like in the U.S. but also to touch the hearts of people beyond my borders at the very same time! This is what Brouwer has done within this piece! This is not skill or talent it's mastery!!
Very warm, comforting, and inviting.
Glad to have found you to encourage and inspire me, Alexandra. 💕💕💕
There's something special in your playing, thank you!
Perfectly captures the wistful mood of a November day. Thanks Alexandra for sharing your gift and talent.
Alexandra maravillosa como siempre, ella te transporta.
hypnotic.....thank you
Hermoso. Así han de sonar las liras celestiales por que las lágrimas se salen sin permiso de la mente pero si con el auspicio del corazón.
Jajajaja
Joder, simplemente poético 🚬
@@FerchoDelgaRams Agradezco tu fina opinión. Un fuerte abrazo fraterno. Viva la humanidad en pos de la Paz!!!!
One word. Marvellous!!
Beautiful piece played sublimely. Thank you so much.
Какая прелесть! Очень красивая музыка! Браво!
Princess Alexandra ... It's always so nice to see and hear your plays. As always, union of beauty and art, along with great taste in choosing the melody. Congratulations, keep on!
Your beautiful playing makes one feel every note!!!!
I never stop to listen to this song...by Alexandra, off course!
His hands express through the instrument the sound of a song that invades the soul!
May God keep his hands always anointed, and his heart full of the will to touch more and more this instrument, for he speaks and enchants the soul of those who hear and appreciate this beautiful fingering of his hands!
Thank you for sharing your gift!

That's the point, the position of your hands are very important on this instrument, that's what you meant.
Fuck you tallm bout nigga thats her hand expressing through the instrument
I had forgotten how good this piece was... Or how good it can be when played like this
@@msblue1003 yes
Beautifull!!!!!
This is wonderful. There is so much beautiful music in the world, perhaps one day we will stop fighting and all listen together. I sang madrigal in school; somehow this took me back. Thank you.
I read somewhere that this music was composed as the soundtrack of a movie with the same title. Did anyone hear the original version?! Hard to find.
By the way, Alexandra you gave an outstanding interpretation. Professionally performed.

You are the most beautiful thing I have seen in this world! you are like an angel! And your way of touching. It is so beautiful to hear you and to see you play the guitar like that. I adore you
Listening to Whittingham play Brouwer is like she is making love to the instrument; caressing every note for its fulness. How fantastic this combination is, and how fortunated we are to have found her.
Absolutely stunning in pacing and emotive expression!
