I cant imagine a harder song to play than this, particularly with the arrangement hes gone with here, all on one instrument at the same time. My god. What a virtuoso. Amazing.
the 'swirling black lillies, totally ripe' part even during the main part is quite literally the best guitarwork i've ever seen from anyone. thank you so much for this
And I must add.......leave it to an ITALIAN to turn an Icelandic fairy/Mozart's music into something even more incredible. Much love from the USA (Kentucky, Muhlenberg County, home of fingerpicker Merle Travis).
I found this video last year and lost count of how many times I've listened to it while cooking, studying or just looking out the window. Every now and then I think about it and come back to hear it once more, and it's just as memorable and emotional as the first time. Truly one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard.
@@mauraxe the harmonics throughout and how the rhythm gives the almost illusion of two guitars playing at once is killing me lol. Like listening to Richard Thompson Vincent 1952 going "ok, but where's he hiding the other guitar and guitar player" lol.
I completed my diploma in acoustic guitar 2 years ago now, and seeing this video makes me wish I was doing it all over again but with this is the discography. This arrangement is so faithful to the original song and so moving. Brilliant stuff.
Holy shit man! Has Bjork seen this? Guess it'd be hard to know that, still, I think she'd approve. I figured you would have left out the full "I love him" ending. But nope, kept every note going. I suddenly feel like chump change...
***** Thank you! I don't think Björk has seen this; surely I wish she did... That ending was the hardest part: months of work to put it together, learn and memorize it :-)
Bjork's "Pagan Poetry" is one of my favorite love songs ever, and what you do with it on the guitar is a true tribute. Utterly beautiful. It brought me to tears. Thank you!
Wow! This video is from 2014 but I have just seen it now! It's a perfect and beautiful arrangement from Bjork's song! Thank you for all your effort doing this!
I love this! I love how you glide from voice to voice, while keeping that driving bass drive. It's more toned down compared to the original, but it captures the essential quality of intimacy and breathlessness. It's beautiful.
Una de mi canciones favoritas de Björk, una oda a la sexualidad, había escuchado otras versiones, pero esta sin lugar a dudas me deleito. ¡Felicidades! y continúe siempre con este arte que es la música. ¡Saludos desde México!
This is seriously a master piece. Her best song transposed to guitar is genius. Could you please upload your notes or transcriptions or something like that? I would love to be able to at least play a little bit of this. Wonderful video!
Thank you for the kind words and for sharing! Actually, I've spent a lot of time trying to get this arrangement right, so I really appreciate your comment!
after all these years still this performance has a unique touch in me equivalent of the original song. If the original song is the piercing pain of agony your performance is the romantic soothing caress of this pain . from time to time i come back to watch this . thank you very much
Hermoso arreglo de una canción increíblemente interpretada por la tremenda voz de Björk, al escucharla pude sentir la misma emoción de la primera vez que la escuche de su viva voz, gracias Maestro Maurizio
Whaou je suis super impressionnée,,,quel talent il joue plusieurs jeu et harmonie morceau difficile pourtant pour moi untrop fort ! devrais avoir deux guitars
One like is surely from Björk
Amazing - You really did Pagan Poetry justice

I've never heard the genius of Bjork so very well done. This brought me to tears, and not just a few. Unbelievable.
And I must add.......leave it to an ITALIAN to turn an Icelandic fairy/Mozart's music into something even more incredible. Much love from the USA (Kentucky, Muhlenberg County, home of fingerpicker Merle Travis).

Two months later and I'm coming down from an acid trip listening to this yet again. This song (and this version) means so much to me.
I'm literally in the kitchen right now lol
@@explosionof9 lmao this song in fingerstyle guitar sounds perfect for kitchen / food related stuff
I come back to this video at least twice a month...
Hearing this instrumental, just clarifies how people compare Björks voice to an instrument.
"Sorry, no piercing!" Hahaha
That was an incredible arrangement. Thank you.
Thank you! I'm starting to think piercing would be less painful than writing and learning this arrangement... :-)
@@mauraxe the harmonics throughout and how the rhythm gives the almost illusion of two guitars playing at once is killing me lol. Like listening to Richard Thompson Vincent 1952 going "ok, but where's he hiding the other guitar and guitar player" lol.
to put this complex song structure into one instrument is just marvellous.
This sounds like the unveiling of an intricate mystery
I wonder if Bjork saw this version...
Congrats !!!
She didn't sue me, so maybe she didn't see it... Just joking! Thank you!
Maurizio Parri Bjork needs to see your video...
This is so beautiful. I really hope that Björk got to watch this.
i’ve been watching this video for 6 years. The feeling never changes. Amazing ❤
May you always be in good health sir and keep doing things you love
Thank you!
What this was really special!!!!❤
Finally somebody did it! I appreciate your accuracy for Bjork's phrasing.
Thank you! Phrasing was indeed the hardest part...
I would love to hear bjork sing this to your playing.
Beautiful!
Браво! За такие песни единицы берутся
I always come back to hear this masterpiece ♡
Me too.
@@nadezhdadimitrova4042 Me too, for years now. So beautiful.
I hope Bjork sees this video. It's amazing! Congrats

this version is giving VERY chrono trigger x björk WOW
This is so good that it’s breaking my heart, and I am a happily married man.
ohh wow... 🥺❤🙏🏼🕊 All really is full of love ❤. Breathtaking & still so emotional
This is wonderful. Really well done. I normally don't like "covers" of Björk's songs as they're never really satisfying, but this is beyond beautiful.
Holy shit man! Has Bjork seen this? Guess it'd be hard to know that, still, I think she'd approve. I figured you would have left out the full "I love him" ending. But nope, kept every note going.

@@mauraxe ur awesome

Korak do savrsenosti

to play a song this complicated on a single guitar you have to be a musician.i applaud, sir
This never gets old.
wow.... i have always loved this song and the emotions it carries. you have done an amazing job with this arrangement and performance.
That was magical! You've managed to translate and recreate all of the original's complexity to guitar. Nothing is missing. I love it! Thank you!
I think I found this arrangement when it was fairly recent. It's still my favorite arrangement of such a beautiful song. Thank you for your work.
Bjork's "Pagan Poetry" is one of my favorite love songs ever, and what you do with it on the guitar is a true tribute. Utterly beautiful. It brought me to tears. Thank you!
I agree with some of the other comments. What a version of a all ready powerful song.
Seriously I would pay $50 for a tab of this
YES SO GOOD THANK YOU MAN
Outf...kingstanding!!!
Straordinario, un pezzo magico reso magistralmente.
One day I hope to find husband as talented and emotionally in tune as this man ❤
Wow! This video is from 2014 but I have just seen it now! It's a perfect and beautiful arrangement from Bjork's song! Thank you for all your effort doing this!
Você fez fantástico
I'm completely blown away, that was INSANE.
I love this! I love how you glide from voice to voice, while keeping that driving bass drive. It's more toned down compared to the original, but it captures the essential quality of intimacy and breathlessness. It's beautiful.
I keep coming back to this video, it's SO BEAUTIFUL!
AMAZING !!
even with the vocal section! awesome cover

Imagine Björk singing on this amazing arrangement. This is breathtaking sir. Greetings from Turkey.
INSANE INSANE INSANE INSANE you just played every single word from pagan poetry 👏👏👏
This is seriously a master piece. Her best song transposed to guitar is genius. Could you please upload your notes or transcriptions or something like that? I would love to be able to at least play a little bit of this. Wonderful video!
+TFTimotheus Thank you! Sorry, I have only a very messy draft of the arrangement, which is understandable only by me, I fear...
this is amazing, pagan poetry is my all time favorite bjorks song
One of the best Bjork covers/interpretations/arrangements I've heard or seen. Amazing.

Wow,a lot of hard work went in to that,and sounded beautiful
BRAVO!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Captures the essence of the original. So pretty.
He said "sorry" in the description, but i'm wondering about what. This was so beautiful.
Thank you! I wrote "sorry" as a joke, because I didn't pierce myself like Björk in her videoclip :-)
Ha ha ha AMAZING and amazingly beautiful
I'm short of words. Beautiful.
That's just the paradiiiiiize ! Pagan poetry is one of the best song in the world 🤗😍
Beautiful, otherworldly...
Whaou je suis super impressionnée,,,quel talent il joue plusieurs jeu et harmonie morceau difficile pourtant pour moi untrop fort ! devrais avoir deux guitars

Rare that a cover draws me in on a song that already has so much sentimental value. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Excelente trabajo maestro! Me ha puesto melancólico jajaja..
Ran across this a few weeks ago, I've listened in awe at least a dozen times. Thank you.
I'm blown away.
So wonderful arranged and played , with such a tasteful sound ...solo guitar can be such an adventure !!😀
