if you're interested in hearing a higher fidelity recording of this, i think someone posted a vinyl rip of this track. th-cam.com/video/Vz2Lv1MnFyg/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for letting us know!! I’ll pin your comment as many have asked for higher quality audio! I own the same vinyl, but sadly don’t have methods to do a vinyl rip. Otherwise I’d post the full vinyls too (I have 3 albums by Y)
@@jonathancourbet that video also has some other KY interpretations that I had not heard before including the Ly Cygne, paganini 24th. also a recording of la boda luis de alonso. the profile has a few other vinyl rips including the Larry Coryell collaboration, bach suite, dvorak 9th, and pictures. i haven't listened to them enough to actually figure out if they are any different from the CD versions out there.
I had the vinyl LP, autographed by him, which included this performance and Saint-Saëns' 'Le Cygne' until my mother threw it away with all my junk while I was out of the house for a while. Since then, I have not heard of this performance for nearly 40 years. Thanks a lot for uploading!
I leave the comment here as a teaser. I've bought this vinil (two pieces) in Japan and waiting for the deleivery right now. When I get it I will try to convert vinil to digital files. Will let you know!
@@frang2023 oh wow, I never knew about that. You think it's still out somewhere. At this point someone should archive every Yamashita video as soon as it's uploaded
The main reason is that the Japanese copyright holders terminate any videos of him that have material from his cd:s. Back when I uploaded this I had to make the audio worse on purpose to get it released.
@@stefanstanimirovic4666 sorry! I unfortunately don’t have the original any more, I’ve been looking for the album everywhere with no success. I’m sure it’s somewhere on the internet but I haven’t found it so far
Leaving a dislike because there's an advert right in the middle, if you have any respect for music you wouldn't try to monetise this piece of history that won't even make more than 2c a year anyway, shameful.
i didn’t even know there was monetisation as i’ve used youtube premium for years and uploaded this nearly 7a ago, i would have removed the ads just for your enjoyment or sent you the high-resolution audio if you let me know but since you chose to be a dickhead about it, i don’t think i will bother :) thanks for declaring your dislike though, we don’t care
Alright well it's not exactly easy listening, and I'm obviously not trying to learn it off, so it's not something I'll be listening to that often. So if you're leaving the ad up it's just for whoever else finds the video, I mostly left the comment for whoever felt the same way in future as most channels don't seem to monitor their comment section. So If you wanna be petty about it then that's fine, you went to the bother of uploading it. At the end of the day it's just music to me man, I'm simply a passionate critic 🤌 and I f-ing hate ads interrupting my music
@@n.rfaherty9819 i do monitor haha as i use the account for personal watching and get comment notifications on my iPad but don't worry about it :) the videos were originally just for me, i never intended them to have any popularity but yeah it sucks that there was an ad in the middle. Seems like you just got very unlucky as the vid is 7yrs old and it's the first time anyone ever brought it up. You just weren't nice about it but as said not a big deal. Hopefully you don't get an ad again
@@jonathancourbet Please upload it, especially if its not the Live in Toronto version since that one is already on TH-cam. I'm thinking of buying the studio version but I'm hesitant. The videos of Yamashita on TH-cam have lots of reverb on his guitar so I feel he might not be as good as it seems.
@@projects9166 I think the one I have is the Toronto one but a studio-quality recording of that. I’ll get to that during the evening, probably it’s gonna get flagged immediately so I might have to pitch-shift it just like I did with this. Stay tuned!
Yamashita. He'll arrange things and then nobody else can play it but him. And even sometimes not even himself now that he's older and past his athletic prime. Complete dead-end in terms of playing school. His daughter is great but nowhere near his peak abilities during his 20s and early 30s. A one-off legend.
Nobody lol. Nobody can play his arrangements although this isn't even amongst his harder pieces. Frankly, Yamashita in his 20s will probably be achieved again by anyone again. Frankly, I wish he came onto the scene later in the digital age where we can have better recordings of his prime, and where there is more communication to really take everything he had to offer. An absolute insane man. Although Kazuhito is still alive, he is a lot more mature now and does not really perform in this manner either due to injury or age-related decrease in athleticism or by choice, we don't know. On top of that, Japan really restricts optimum delivery of this person to the rest of the world.
Beethovenium 64 TH Good ear! Yamashita actually plays this in D minor but to avoid copyright notices in TH-cam I had to change the pitch lower, resulting in the audio quality dropping dramatically. But theoretically, the piece could be played in C# minor if all strings on the guitar were tuned a semitone lower.
Treayios Kuchisaka one guitar, it’s difficult but very playable. You can probably find a high quality recording by searching on google for a bit but I have no idea which album by Yamashita it’s on.

it's down bro :(

No problem! I’ve never heard him play the Saint-Saens, that would be such a find!
I am also trying to find that vinil, but no success. I have sheet music of Le Cygne and I've played it but never heard Yamashita's performance

Any progress? Would definitely be interested
@@n.rfaherty9819 Done. Last video on my channel!

Thanks for uploading. What few views for this stunning performance! You should add 'guitar' to the title.
Absolutely the best!!!
True. Too bad the audio quality is terrible.
Yes.
Yamashita performed pieces like this one like no other before or since.
CDが普及する前のLPレコードだけに収録された非常に貴重な音源ですね。
私は演奏終了後、外で会って話しながら駅まで
一緒に歩いて帰ったことがあります。まるでランナーが走り終わった感じ
です。40年前の事です。彼はギター界の奇跡です
Excellent performance. I wish there was a visual and better recording quality.
I have no idea if Yamashita ever performed this live
@@jonathancourbet There was a video of him playing this piece, but it only lasted less than a minute
@@frang2023 oh wow, I never knew about that. You think it's still out somewhere. At this point someone should archive every Yamashita video as soon as it's uploaded
Alien..
Superb !!
This is fun, thanks.
thanks for listening!! Fun is the best word to describe Y’s recordings
I usually play it in D minor because with tuning "drop D" to guitar will make the easy play.
لا يفهم هكذا موسيقى الا القليل
نعم إنه لأمر مدهش. هذا النوع من الموسيقى مثالية ل ياماشيتا. شكرا للمشاهدة!
hi
Ehi!
I'm so pissed off that virtually all these amazing performances by Yamashita are of awful sound quality.
The main reason is that the Japanese copyright holders terminate any videos of him that have material from his cd:s. Back when I uploaded this I had to make the audio worse on purpose to get it released.
@@jonathancourbet Could you maybe send me this audio via mail or something im really interested in hearing this in good quality ?

Do you have the pictures at an exhibition album? The torrent sites don't work.
I have the 1984 live recording, I could try uploading it to TH-cam soon. I don’t think I have the studio recording sadly

is it known what guitar he uses here?
Jose Ramirez!
Who arranged this on guitar?
Yamashita himself.
by Yamasita himself
Yamashita the goat

Yamashito is a genius at arranging for guitar, but then who play this arraignment but him?

@@ney57e Yes, there are: Jorge Caballero, Marcin patrzalek,Julio Silpitucla, etc
A very interesting and dynamic interpretation with a quality sound rendition.
Magnífico, una orquesta en un instrumento.
Thank you so very much for the content
This is only one version in the world that is in C# minor...
Beethovenium 64 TH Good ear! Yamashita actually plays this in D minor but to avoid copyright notices in TH-cam I had to change the pitch lower, resulting in the audio quality dropping dramatically. But theoretically, the piece could be played in C# minor if all strings on the guitar were tuned a semitone lower.
@@jonathancourbet I know because those 6 sharps near the clefs make guitarists stressed and transpose it until the is only 1 sharp.
@@jonathancourbet Is this two guitars? Also is there an album with this track in high quality? Thanks.
Treayios Kuchisaka one guitar, it’s difficult but very playable. You can probably find a high quality recording by searching on google for a bit but I have no idea which album by Yamashita it’s on.
D minor is easier because we can use tuning "drop D" with the guitar.
És mas que increible!
