A grandeur and humility... maybe just awe of music and hard work pervades Hopkinson Smith.. as a very young man I meet him in Vicenza in San Felice e Fortunato..
This is the best interpretation amongst guitar and lute players I have ever heard! It is not too much technicality ,just music to dance. Thank you Maestro!
Superb. My favourite guitar piece. But you really made it sing, even on such a relatively quiet instrument. So good to hear such a piece on an instrument of the time, especially from such a maestro.
Es trasladarse imaginariamente a la época y ambiente en que fue escrita la obra y escuchar la verdadera guitarra barroca. Muy buena versión. Felicitaciones.
Even though the guitar is kind of more powerful (ad have more resources, strings) this vihuela transports us to a magic time where music was part of the human life in castles, streets, bars, and churches....Mr. Hopkinson Smith is the very best!
My most favourite song to whistle to.... thank you so much for sharing this wonderful bard's music with me. I love his work on this piece, and, i can whistle it very well too, always makes me feel so alive and whole, and it just makes me bust with happiness. thank you.
Greg, I myself also like whistling (voices of) classical pieces. But this one must be demanding because of the intertwined voices. E.g. for me it is hard to figure out the leading voice of this piece. But the feeling is the same!
I'm having a hard time figuring out why the modern Spanish guitar has completely over run these classical baroque guitars. They are wonderful and the sound is very enchanting, I'd like to see them used more frequently.
Mainly because of baroque's very low volume. Besides spanish guitar has much better sound qualities and wider range of notes. But I love baroque guitar too.
they are also difficult to manufacture and unfortunatly musicians into that particular music and in need of these specific instruments are no legion I don't even want to figure out how much money they would ask for a luth or barok guitar or any instrument being in use in middle age and renaissance considéring how expensive some of the basic classical spanish guitars can be several thousand dollars or euros for good quality concert size nylon string guitars it would make these old instrument very hard to afford
@@zazaa124, a Baroque guitar has choirs but the highest string is a single not a choir. The low volume has nothing to do with the strings per se. Although the sound is more vibrant due to the usage of gut instead of nylon.
Technique is different and as said these are very quiet: lovely as a parlour instrument but too quiet for concert stage. Volume was the reason use of the nail and flesh rather than just flesh developed too in classical guitar playing.
Years and years ago I used to think lute music and baroque guitar music was dated but my perception totally changed. If a piece of music gives people listening pleasure then its mission accomplished.
J'ai rencontré Hopkinson Smith à Sedan. Il m'a serré la main quand je lui ai dit que je jouais de la guitare baroque. Je ne voulais plus la laver ensuite pour garder ses cellules sur celles de main!
Beautiful instrument. So the baroque guitar is doubly stringed. Is it a descendant of the vihuela? The plucking technique is so different. I wonder what Caspar Sanz would have thought about Joaquin Rodrigo's adaption of his theme in the lovely Fantasia para un gentilhombre almost four centuries later.

Bellisimo, es la mejor interpretacion que he escuchado, gran maestro ❤

Gran versión de un gran maestro. Capta la esencia de la música española. La alegría en esta ocasion
Beautiful and flawless performance, thank you very much.🎶🎸❤️🌞🇬🇧
he looks so happy and joyful when playing very good
No studio, no big mixer, pure sound!
A relief from effects and computers.
This is the best interpretation amongst guitar and lute players I have ever heard! It is not too much technicality ,just music to dance. Thank you Maestro!

Grandissimo Hopkinson Smith, strumentista e musicologo raffinato, brillante. Si rimane incantati, vera musica.
the later parts of his score are interpretations i haven't heard.
Amazing! Thanks, Maestro🎶🎵
Just beautiful what a maestro :)

As rich pure and satisfying as morning mist as the Sun rises.
Música maravillosa en manos exquisitas que tocan un instrumento con la respuesta exacta. Gracias
So nice and cheerful - so contrasting to the grey day I am having LOL
Even when techique begins to fail, such a great muscality!

Makes for the low volume by using 10 strings (tuned in pairs?)

Absolutely wonderful, Hoppy.
Bliss to hear, fascinating to watch.
Bravíssimo!!!
sublime !
Que maravilla desde Tenerife
Brillante!!!!!!!!!!!
A écouter sans fin
Magnifique....
His hands were made for this.
le plaisir à écouter, et a jouer surement...
Fantástico, técnica al servicio de la musicalidad, ese el secreto del maestro Hopkinson Smith.
Fantastic.
Un Grand , le plus grand.
its so spanish-y
and very renissance-y too!
very old english-y!!
Such a nice guitar and playing
Maravilloso 😀
WOW Sheer brilliance ..
Years and years ago I used to think lute music and baroque guitar music was dated but my perception totally changed. If a piece of music gives people listening pleasure then its mission accomplished.
Enchanting - exquisite - now go and listen to his performance of the Chaconne on the lute !
That was a big ukulele! :-) Well played. Interesting to hear.

Qué rico suena :3
美しいローズ。もちろん演奏も素敵。
Si vous comprenez cette musique vous avez compris le monde. Aucun mot n'est nécessaire et le monde ira ou il doit.

Amazing
Ohhh!!! Maravilla
流石です！ 素晴らしい！
great mans!!
fantastic.
Super! Super! Super!
fabuloso
Чудесно!
Il n'y a que 5 cordes et Joaquin Rodrigo a magnifié cette musique dans son concerto pour un gentilhomme
Si on croise ce Monsieur dans la rue on le prend pour un gentil fonctionnaire ! Mais pas du tout ! c'est un interprète génial : merci Monsieur
EXCELENTE. UNA LECCION
Does this guitar have the same tuning and number of strings (or choruses) as a modern guitar? I would like to learn this piece on my guitar
awesom!!!
Beautiful instrument. So the baroque guitar is doubly stringed. Is it a descendant of the vihuela? The plucking technique is so different. I wonder what Caspar Sanz would have thought about Joaquin Rodrigo's adaption of his theme in the lovely Fantasia para un gentilhombre almost four centuries later.
Quanta bellezza.
Qué viejito se me ha puesto don Hopkins!
Agora entendo por que a última parte da belíssima Fantasía Para un Gentilhombre, do grande Joaquín Rodrigo, se chama Canario.
His first name is Hopkinson?
Wow!
Pra mim, existem 03 violonistas no mundo as quais tiro meu chapéu, são elas: Thu Le - Ana Verdovic - Paola Hermosin - essa tríade me desculpe as muitas outras, mas essas são demais !
Beautiful: i’d love an early guitar.Technique is more lute than modern guitar though
great
Casi un Malambo argentino....
Un maitre !!!
¿¿Afinación italiana??
Anyone know the chord profession he did in the beginning ?
