This dude straight-up shreds Santiago de Murcia. Most folks play this tune at like 70 bpm. Ol' Rolf comes in and shreds it like he's Yngwie Malmsteen or something. And, you know, some of his improvisation in the bridge sections is surprisingly contemporary. It shows he's not a purist. He sees the music as part of an evolving continuum instead of being frozen in amber. I'll bet this guy can tear up some Gaspar Sanz.
Unfortuntely comments are disabled on the origial video. I find it astounding how good that guitar sounds. Not only is it played by an expert of early period music but it was made by one of the greatest luthiers of all times. I find it not only super interesting but also very important to conserve the heritage of those old masters for todays and future generations. Before this video i had no idea there was actually a Stradivari guitar around nowadays and even less i had an idea how it sounds. This guitar marks a significant piece of musical history and it represents the cremonese luthery of the 17th century.
@@Blanqmind Can imagine. This is a piece difficult to get the tabs and also difficult to play, not to mention the guitar. I might going to build a replica but not within the next two years.

I agree, this is the hardest and best interpratation of this peice I've seen. It sounds like this is how it was meant to be played
Rolf is a beast this was beyond amazing

I am interested in getting into buying a Baroque Guitar and I specifically wish to learn this piece that he plays in the same way.
