thank you omni and maestro fisk for such an interesting performance! it's sad for me to see all the negative comments. this is, after all, a live performance. as i watch eliot played. i only see his interpretation and phrasing. my mind heard perfection. i have played the guitar since i was in high school, until my unfortunate stroke in 1983 forced me to abandon my favorite pastime. however it cannot stop me from playing in my mind. my hands cannot express what i feel. m fisk played mostly his own transcriptions, so he has the right to play in a way he feels. he is very courageous not to succumb to popularity. those who disagree can try in a way you think feel appropriate. i especially appreciate the bach, torroba, de falla, paganini and pounce. sevovia has recorded the same suite by torroba. m fisk intense facial expression reminds me of violin maestro itzhak perlman. i don't think they are conscious of their display. glenn gould sang out loud when he played the piano. you can hear it in his recordings. i wonder why the sound engineers did not wipe it clean? thanks for reading my loong comment. i shall retreat and shut my trap.
Thank you to all who joined us for the live video premiere!
I admire the intensity and the obvious ability, even if a bit crazy at times
I remember getting a guitar magazine about 30 years ago with one of those plastic records perforated like a removable page. Fisk was the featured artist, my beginner mind couldn’t comprehend the brilliance within the playing, 30 years later and I’m still in awe…
Wie interessant für die Darstellung mit Musik von Torroba, volle Leidenschaft und absolut noch mit vollen Power für seinem Alter. So sanft und liebevoll mit Ponce zum Schluss gespielt Ich denke, Andres Segovia würde an erste Reihe bei der Konzert einer seinen besten Schüler aller Zeit hören sitzen! (wenn der Vater der klassischen Gitarre noch lebe!). Big Respect, Maestro Eliot Fisk. Bravissimo!
Precisely! Ich bin damit einverstanden...True, a rare, exquisite vintage echo of The Golden Schwäbisch Age! (Tut mir Leid...Ich meinte 'Schuldaufdeckungsangst…..Ebenmäißgkeitsentzückung- Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz!) Herzlich, Mexikaner Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän, eine Pfründe mit Privilegien und Vergünstigungen !
What an absolute gem of a concert!
I had the honour and pleasure of meeting Eliot in Boston during the 2013 Boston Guitar Festival. He is a gentle, humble and cheerful man, and an incredible musician. And, he hasn't aged a day. Remarkable.
For me, playing classical guitar (or any instrument for that matter) with such intensity needs to be done every now and then. It can be relieving, fun, but tiring. Mr. Fisk you have fingers of steal my friend. Sometimes performers play so gently that I hardly can hear what they're playing. What's nice is that those sitting in the back row will be able to clearly hear you. Thank you Omni Foundation and Eliot for the great concert!
We recommend seeing Eliot Fisk live in person if you ever get the chance. It is quite the experience!
Il dominio assoluto dello strumento esacorde, del colore del suono , dei fraseggi sempre discorsivi e chiari ,della bellezza esecutiva ti proiettano in una dimensione catartica nel multiforme pianeta della chitarra .grazie di esistere Maestro... semplicemente STRAORDINARIO
I met him in the mid 70’s. Brilliant talent, and kind then as now.
GOD I LOVE Eliot Fisk!!! The POWER, The TRIUMPH he brings to his performances are like nothing else. The man is ABSOLUTELY COMMITTED to playing EXACTLY the way he wants and expressing *every *last *drop of musical beauty from his own very, very splendid and totally UNIQUE style. I can only hope someday to ever approach the grandeur and majesty of his complete surrender to the raging passions of the musical soul. Bless you Maestro Fisk!!!
Truth!
Genius!!!
Awesome! Can’t argue with that.😅
it sounds like a man who love the world so much.intensily
Maestro Eliot... thank you for this delightful contribution to our lives
I think I could play for a thousand years and still not play as beautifully as this man...
This man is the one of the few classical guitarist that can make old music interesting to listen to and not just about a boring technique marathon
Mr. Fisks unbounded expression is a thing to witness.
I remember years ago hearing him on the radio playing the Paganini Capriccios…..couldn’t believe the technique…..went out immediately and purchased the CD.
Champion guitarist! I'd say a modern guitar hero. The difficulty of this program only shows his courage and commitment to the music and the instrument. Bravo Mr. Fisk!!!
Thank you Mr. Fisk, today has enlightened the meek in me. That was a musical thrill ride and bold enough to inspire adventure.
His style isn't for everyone but his vision for his own sound is remarkable. Threading that fine line between uptight strictness and uncontrollable passion.
just too many notes being played
@@3581tossitI've watched people play cleaner but with no "soul" at all.
Bravo Maestro....very fantastic concert. Gbu always 🙏🙏🙏🇮🇩
Amazing, a true living legend of the classical guitar!
SO VERY WONDERFUL...INSTANT ALL OVER GOOSE-BUMPS OF SOULFUL JOY!!!!
de Falla...best performance I've ever heard. Outstanding! Bravo Mr. Elliott Fisk. So beautiful.
Amazing concert. Can't wait to watch it again.
I first saw Eliot at Stetson University in Deland Florida. He a gave a great performance, it was nice to be able to go out ; and not worry about face masks, and airborne diseases. It was 2005 when things were much better, as I taught classical guitar and gave dozens of classical guitar performances. And it was a treat to just watch for a change. I also composed several works for the classsical guitar, but, I use them to further my playing these days. Because the ''etudes and preludes'' I write, are great practice pieces. The guitar gallery at the university was top notch, I played for hours in there. Omni Foundation is also top notch in my eyes!
Still has the sounds , the style of those years. I wish you good health and that beautiful pace..Mr Guitarist.
RIP
Wonderful concert!!! With him i never get boring
That's a guarantee for sure. He's going to push those boundaries and even extend a few. It's bold and never boring. Beyond simple entertainment. Better have your bags packed cause Elliott is gonna take you outside of safe places. 40:14
Literally, the most brutal rendition of this Bach suite I have ever heard by a professional guitarist. He was clearly underprepared for this, nervous or out of concert routine here. His recordings are stellar in comparison.
I thought this was marvelous! This is my first time hearing him though. You're right about his studio recordings!
He is without a doubt an awful live performer.
I've seen him twice in person and both times he was ... just bad...... He has ridden Segovias coat tails like no other
Thank God someone else said it.
I am sitting here listening to the performance and all I can think is "Wow this is not great."
At 10:50 It's just some pain we can't understand anything he plays. He just murder the piece nothing make sense every note is cut, dirty nothing clean except maybe cadence... To much ponticello can't even distingue the melody... Too rush, zero ZERO sweetness
Mr Fisk plays every piece as if he needs to pee very urgently! His undoubtedly expensive guitar sounds as if played by an inebriated banjoist. It's almost as horrendous as Kazuhito Yamashita's performance of Pictures at an Exhibition, which made half of the audience leave and the remainder vomit. @@florentin6635
That was magnificent! Love from India ❤️
Gracias por su dedicación y estudio mil gracias ❤
The ability ,competence to pull off this program (at these tempos especially)in concert is just staggering. His musicality might not be everyone’s taste but he is a virtuoso without doubt
A virtuoso is supposedly able to play fast AND cleanly. He is not.
@@Pladderkasse that’s a bit harsh
@@AlanMcCarthyguitar Im just stating a fact.
@@Pladderkasse in your opinion
I couldn’t agree more, Mr. Fisk is damn near supernatural in his ability to summon the power, grandeur, and above all textural abilities of the guitar. I’ve been in awe of him all my adult life.
No one performs on guitar with the excitement and musicality of Eliot.
Por Ti Mi Corazon literally brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my face. Beautiful tone, beautiful expression, beautiful music.
What a marvelous program filled with so much wonderful music.
For all those technically precise players out there, listen and watch this master. He was the 1st to perform all the Bach Partitas & Sonatas in their entirety; no one even thought it possible until Eliot. The 1st to perform all the Caprices of Paganini. He has brought many modern composers into the standard repertoire and too many other firsts to list.
He is the master to emulate.
Thanks, Eliot, for all you have given to me. It was a pleasure to spend last evening and this morning watching and listening to this full performance repeatedly. Until, I see you...
So eloquently put.
I saw Eliot Fisk perform a couple times in the Syracuse, NY area where he went to high school. The first time was way back in the late 70s as a teenager. And later at the Skaneateles Festival.
Thank you for sharing something hopeful.
Magnifique interprétation du « Encore » rappel! Bravo!
Somewhat surprised that a scheduled premiere got recommended by UA-cam. Definitely gonna put reminder on it.
Elliott plays like a BARBARIAN with flashes of ecstatic BEAUTY…
I think you have summed it up perfectly.
Extremely brief flashes, indeed.
He is so confusing! He could be amazing but he seems to be in such a rush to be somewhere else….
Quit talking like a 15 year old girl from TikTok.
@@robkrug4304 They wouldn't know words like 'ecstatic', don't worry
Amazing !! Thanks Eliot and Omni
Eliat Fisk is an amazing guitarist. I started with classical guitar, then moving to flamenco sound. He is the only one who attracted my intentions to move back
Excellent Maestro!
Bulgaria- Vasil
i keep moving 😅👌
Outstanding Fisk !!!
Thank you for these gift of concerts !!!😃
I adore Maestro Fisk’s living, fresh, vibrant Bach transcription and performance! Gorgeous tone, powerful punctuated attack, and incredibly imaginative, expressive, evocative ornamentation that is an art unto itself. Haters, you don’t understand, music isn’t supposed to be simply a “perfect” or “correct” recitation…it’s a living, breathing, coursing thing, that must be free, it must speak, it must manifest a mystical grandeur from a place deep inside. Mr. Fisk dives deep into the musical well, it’s all we can do to witness and bathe in the majesty he generously draws forth for all humankind.
The Bach Prelude seemed so harsh, brutal and rushed after four measures I couldn't continue watching. It did, however, seem to capture that uniquely American quality of urgent determination.
Master Elliot. Cautiva su manera de tocar,su sonido,la energia en estas bellas musicas!!! Congratulations!!!!
Thank you for this marvelous concert. What a feast!
Thank you for watching!
what amazing repertoire!
Thank you for this! Beautiful!
Wunderschöne Musik 😘🥰
Tão maravilhoso. Muito obrigado!

Bravo Maestro Eliot Fisk.
Truly great guitarist period
Dear Mr. Fisk, a stellar lesson and lesson in playing the guitar and reading between the notes. Only a few are capable of raising the guitar to such a level! You are one of the elite few called! Chapeau! Thanks a lot!
I'm startng to 'get' Fisk. Taken me a while!
Brilliant 🤩!!! Applauses 👏!!! I haven’t heard so different interpretation and so sophisticated in terms of dynamic of de Falla piece for such a long time. Thank you so much for recording the concert 🎶!!!
With fimgers like that he was born to play classical guitar! 😳😳
What a fantastic performance! Thank you Prof Fisk and the Omni Foundation
Congratulations maestro from a longtime fan 👏
What an honor to watch one of the great Maestros of this age, a brilliant and awe inspiring display of guitar prowess.
Amacing!!
Un verdadero deleite para los oidos e infinidad de sensaciones por tan variado repertorio que sé suman al Placer de ver a un gran virtuoso de la guitarra .
Gracias
Inspiring performance!
Eliot: you're great ! Greetings from Salzburg !!!
Bravo! Fisk .
Outstanding concert! 👏👏👏 Thanks for upload this content 🙏
Now that is a concert I would attend if I had the opportunity.
Great performance, Thank you. As a would be classical guitar player who finds committing pieces to memory difficult, it cheers my heart to see you referring to the score. Andy
Beautiful music
so beautiful
very refreshing interpretations of bach
The Lord is pleased with this beautiful music!
당신의 예의가 당신의 음악과 함께 하는 모습이 참 멋집니다..^.^
An early inspiration upon picking up classic guitar in 1992. First amazement, the 'caprices'.
¡Estupendo. Impresionante!
Beautiful playing. I wish I could have been there. It looks like a flamenco guitar with maple sides hmmm I wonder?
Beautiful🌻
I love this and I love that guitar and that fretboard, wow.
Truly a challenging and intense listening experience! Bravo 💜
Challenging and intense, yes. Bravo, no way.
@@Pladderkasse apparently you are entitled to your response…how nice for you 🤨
Es muy bueno.. resalta muy bien los matices y su potencia, a pesar de su brutalidad, es agradable escucharlo.
او ساز را فقط کتک میزند نمینوازد درحالی که ساز را باید نواخت بسیار کثیف ساز میزند افرین به این کثبف ساززدن
You have a very respectable father
Очень понравилось!
Спасибо всем!
Ho apprezzato moltissimo l'interpretazione del Notturno di Torroba, in particolare la ricchezza timbrica al suo interno.
classical guitar posture is so hard and injurious. Mad props to people who have it nailed down
Incredible ,anyone who can talk this down is a totalplebiscite 😊
I just respect the hell out of another musician who can blow a note in the first 10 measures or so, and then just say "screw it, moving on." I was absolutely dreadful in recital, and wouldn't have survived that.
Great musician
Bravo Maestro Eliot Fisk , gran virtuoso !
Outstanding!
Simply the greatest classical guitarist of all time, He pushed the boundaries of what one can do on guitar. Saw him when he was still in high school, and was just blown away. His recording of the 24 Paganini Caprices is hard to believe.
Just amazing
Great playing!
Wondrous !
so good
Korea Huh kyung young Real genius
This man should only teach.
He is multilingual, educated at
a scary level and a fantastic
historian. In 1983 I met Mario
Maccaferri and he spoke to me
in awe of Fisk's Paganini but
said his tension and facial
expressions needed checking.
The only cd I could not stand
was the one with Frescobaldi
played with this brutal style.
Speed and expression only go
together in rare cases, usually
you get one or the other, when
they meet you are witnessing
genius. Some of the beautiful
passages heard here show his
artistic side. His wonderful wife and daughter should help
him relax and bare his soul.
I found his playing a bit frantic at times, but his interpretations and his tone are absolutely stellar. Talk about getting different colours out of your instrument- I could have sworn he was playing a harpsichord at one point!
It dont get much better than this the man is brilliant😊
Bravissimo !
Glad to see Eliot Fisk has not slowed down!
Carissimo Eliot, ma sei sempre il più grande.....la suite di Bach la suoni in un modo esoterico.... solo gli spiriti che vivono nei cieli possono riuscire a cogliere lo spirito col quale dai vita ai suoni......prima di ascoltarti ero un pò stanco, ma dopo la suite, mi hai trasmesso una freschezza che mi sento come se avessi dormito 8 ore beatamente.....un abbraccio, Marco Borghini.
Fisks interpretation of the opening prelude is quite triumphant.
Brilliant
What a superb concert in a beautiful setting - thank you Maestro Fisk and the Omni Foundation!!
Great sound
Man is a force in the raw nature, he plays with the race of what he gives, and who is criticizing is because he did not understand the proposal of this concert
Amazing technique 👌
His performance is absolutely riveting.
