My 2 brothers and I grew up on a farm. We had this huge wraparound porch with 3 porch swings and several chairs. My dad would let us sleep out on the porch during a rainstorm, as long as there wasn't a lot of lightning. we would all get our sleeping bags and head for a swing. The wind would keep the swing moving and the rain lulled us to sleep. We never knew until we were grown how mom and dad both would sleep in the living room so they could see out the windows to watch us. Growing up in a town of less than 400 people, there was no crime and those were literally, the best days of my life. This sound definitely takes me back. Thank you!
Cuatrocientos sesenta y nueve imbéciles han dado click en pulgar abajo. Qué ceguera. Carles es uno de los intérpretes más equilibrados y maravillosos que existen. Tiene una manera de articular frases tan envidiable. Aplauso.
Tranquilízate. Tu valoración de Trepat es en todo subjetiva y aquí estás sin que nadie te llame imbécil, ciego o sordo por eso. Acepta y respeta los gustos ajenos como se hace con los tuyos.
He plays calmly in a way that gives the impression that the scores he is playing are very simple, but they are not. It is his way to deal his instrument that is beautiful. His touch gives the necessary force to create a singing sound. I guess this video shows what music is for, no show off, no unnecessary scales and notes racing each others, no exaggeration in the performance and the body language. That authentic musicality that seeks no titles. Thanks for sharing it.
El Mariachie music has become something of a race, if you can play fast, your good and the faster you can play the better you are. But this is certainly not the case, Keeping his ego out of his performance creating something nothing less the phenomenal. An Incredible performance.
I am studying flamenco guitar and my teacher has me learning some classical pieces. Your explanation of Trepat’s playing is a perfect 👍 and it is what I “aspire to” in my practice and mind set
This is the highest compliment I've ever seen, and one I agree with. I am truly awestruck and I'm only 20 min in. Imagine if it were a true equal temperament guitar.
Сколько искренности,простоты и необыкновенной скромности в игре этого Музыканта....Поистине его гитара передаёт всё о чём думает её Владелец...что он чувствует.... благодарим....Его исполнение восхищает....в ней нет показного бутафорства....в ней Душа....
Buenas noches, no me cansare de decirlo, es el musico mas bonito y mas humilde que tenemos en la copla; ademas de ser un guitarrista ejemplar. Lo mas grande.
Amigos que están tristes,desalentados. Dios es más grande que tú problema y tus circunstancias. El revertirá el mal que ha venido a tú vida. Si perdiste algo, suéltalo, deja que se vaya porque Dios lo permitió. Tienes la vida,y sí tienes a Cristo en tú corazón lo tienes todo
Primero que nada, ¡¡¡Jesús murió hace 2000 años (COMPLETAMENTE MUERTO)!!!, segundo, lo que estás diciendo aquí no tiene nada que ver con esta hermosa música, ¿vale?
Dios no solo es jesus o el hombre de barba, puedes interpretar lo divino con muchas cosas, por ejemplo la música que es el lenguaje universal. Si lo que comento no te gusta es porque estas siendo cerrado con lo complejo que es el ser humano, hermano.@@pablopablas3762
Un prodigio, todas estas canciones sin partitura, nota a nota, por decir algo más de 15000notas, un autentico prodigio, repito.. y además la ternura, el ímpetu, los trémolos, las variaciones de volumen, madre mía. La guitarra bondadosa , sin protagonismos coloresdos, quiero decir un excelente balance de acustica en todo si rango.
It's so strange to hear ancient melodies in modern times. You can feel how silent the space around them was, for melodies so intricate and intimate to emerge from their souls.
I listen to this concert very often, and every time I'm touched! Such intimate, poetic and colorful playing, every single note has meaning. Thank you so much, you are a huge inspiration to me
His style is so subtle and genuine. There is a quiet, almost nostaglic beauty to this. It's like listening to someone playing on a rooftop under the moonlight.
Carles' expressions, body language and even breathing convey the intimate relationship he has with his instrument and passion for his music. Truly inspiring.
I totally agree and I love the way he holds the guitar when he first appears on stage. He is holding it as to say that it is thanks to the guitar that he can express his true emotions and music. Thank you!
Qué criatura debe ser. Le confiaría cualquier neonato sin la mínima reserva de duda; imposible tocar así y ser mala persona. Qué gusto y cuidado en cada paso!
Wow, I never know that people can play guitar like this, the timbre almost sound like piano for me. And the each single note that he play is clean and clear and perfect. This is amazing.
Este es, con mucho, mi video favorito de YT en los últimos años de cualquier género. Creativo, elegante, divertido y edificante. Un gran talento, entregado con sensibilidad.
Sonido impecable!!!! Destreza maximizada en las manos!!!! Pon el alma en cada nota y la recibo justo ahí, en el alma. Transmite lo más bello q el oído pueda escuchar. Mi admiración a tremendo maestro!!!!!👏👏👏🎵🎶🎼
Sin duda ha de ser eso que dices. Será en lo venidero el techo inalcanzable de la más avanzada inteligencia artificial. Es una delicia esta genuina posibilidad humana.
I love that he carried the guitar as a precious vessel, like a child or a loved one. At that point you knew it was going to be special. And it was. Thank you.
Vengo de maravillarme viendo al virtuoso Thibaut Garcia, y regreso al maestro Carles, y me reconcilio con la humanidad. Cuanta belleza. Gracias. Genios!
ya ver la guitarra que presenta, de entrada, como la maga de la magia y la propia guitarra en sí misma, es el sencillo augurio de una humildad del intérprete, como preso él mismo de su sonido y ajeno a lo que va pasar.. una delicada delicia, un éxito que el propio guitarrista no quiere y atribuye a su guitarra, al idioma del arte, que fácil parece, que maravilla.
@DanielAngelAnido no es por la tripa es por la guitarra, la tripa es muchísimo mas aguda que el nylon(los graves de seda están mucho mas muertos que los modernos de nylon). Los instrumentos históricos tienen un sonido mucho más redondo (resonancias bajas, espesores muy finos, construcción muy ligera...) nada que ver con los instrumentos actuales (hoy en día se hace mucha replica de guitarra histórica que se parece lo que huevo a una castana)
My favourite classical guitar video. A great guitar player, with a superb guitar and strings, beautifully captured on film. This shows us what we've lost in our race to be louder, brighter, faster. Classical guitar perfection.
+Rob MacKillop Rob, Jose Romanillos (in 'Antonio Torres: Guitar Maker - his life & work') doubts that the great luthier "was wholly responsible for this instrument" which has undergone modifications - not to be wondered at for a antique. No 'recording chain' can provide perfect reproduction of sound (variable according to venue acoustic properties anyway) but it can be heard to better effect via Trepat's CD 'Musica espanyola per a guitarra: Del romanticisme al nacionalisme' - comprising music by Llobet, Tarrega, Arcas, Aguado, Antonio Jose (la ma de guido LMG 2012G).
+Michael Clayton Hi Michael. I'm aware of Romanillos's comments - I have the book. I agree about the CD recordings being better reproductions of the sound. But it's great to see him play, and to view the mojo of the instrument :-) Are you aware that he has a SoundCloud account? He has uploaded an entire album of the Catalan folksongs, plus music by Granados. It's wonderful, and free.
Maestro Carles, nos abres la puerta al XIX. Ese tañido con notas llenas de color es un regalo para todos los que te descubrimos. Gracias x tu gran trabajo.
The subtle beauty of a spring day. From the moment the sunrises to the setting of the sun. The beauty of nature and the subtle shifts of life and death as the day proceeds into evening. This is what I heard when I listened to the first piece.
I was swept off my feet when i first heard this performance almost 5 years ago, and ever since I keep coming back to this masterful performance every now and then.
Gracias Carles por este maravilloso concierto acompañado de tu grácil y fiel compañera "guitarra Torres" de cuya alma centenaria nos haces sentir y escuchar sus muy sutiles, femeninas y hondamente varoniles voces de su desatinada y dolida, aunque en el fondo garbosa, graciosa, tierna, armoniosa y hermosa "esencia ibérica". Un saludo sincero desde Noruega.
recién lo escucho por primera vez y me encantó oir a este gran artista. una maravilla como acaricia las cuerdas. se nota el cariño que le tiene a su guitarra por lo dulce que la trata. bellísimo
Música para Dios. La perfección matemática del cosmos se aprecia en el arte. Dios existe, Dios es, Dios se manifiesta. Aquí un ejemplo de la perfección del Universo. A. L. G. D. G. A. D. U. Saludos desde México.
Simply Magnificent. The 1892 Torres is the perfect instrument for this sensitive and enthralling recital. Bravo (and a great program of, oftentimes, neglected repertoire). ❤🙏🏼
The more I listen, the more I'm mesmerized by this artist and his exceptional skill. I'll have to listen to this many times more. There is a delicacy and tenderness that are both enchanting. Beautiful!
Demuestras una gran cultura española cariñosa de lo mejor, sencilla, soñadora, cálida, real y constructiva. Muchas gracias por tu guitarra tocando como un claro río de montaña ondeando y acelerando lleno de oxígeno. Muchas gracias por compartir estos sonidos con nosotros.
Gracias por compartir este concierto en UA-cam, es una maravilla poder disfrutar de esta preciosa música para guitarra y más por estar tocada en un instrumento de tanta antigüedad. Un lujo, gracias.
Gran belleza, gran cuidado en la presicion, nostalgia de las guitarras de Torres inconfundible timbre. Un ejecutante de vieja escuela gran sentimiento y expresión.
It's great playing that he does. The music he is playing is so rich with harmony, melody and counterpoint it is a learning experience for me as a fellow guitar player. Very soothing tone he has on his guitar.
Caro Carles, non mi stancherò mai di ascoltarti, sei una carezza sul cuore. Dear Carles, I'll never stop listening to your concert, you're a caress on my heart. Gracias, thanks, grazie infinite.
My last guitar teacher would have smacked his left hand. She was a perfectionist as regards technique. Trepat is a little unorthodox with his left hand. But he plays so beautifully. He touches the heart in a way that the more pyrotechnic guitarists seldom do. I literally find myself breathless, mesmerized by what he brings out of the guitar. He plays this most intimate of instruments in a way that it is meant to be played, with heart and soul. Love him!
@Dan Ghofrani I can only comment as regards the technique I was taught. I don't pretend it's the 'right' way to play classical guitar because I personally believe that different styles, as long as they allow you to progress and play more difficult work as you build your repertoire. happen naturally, and are absolutely acceptable. My last teacher, Gabrielle Kish, was not of the same mind. She. insisted, for example, that the left hand must be elevated more than Trepat does, in order that the left hand fingers are coming straight down on the strings, not at an angle. She insisted that this was the best technique, allowing you to play more difficult pieces as your technique 'solidified'. It felt awkward at first, but, once it became second nature, it did actually mean very precise and clean connection with the strings, with just the very tips of the fingers making contact wherever you played on the neck. The result was as she said - I could play my existing repertoire much more cleanly and progressed to much more difficult music, like Albeniz' Leyenda, which I could not manage well before. With bar chords, the first finger was rolled/placed so that the front of the finger made contact, right behind the fret. Trepat plays with the back or the flat of the first finger making connection at the fret. If I remember right, he sometimes uses two fingers at times to make the bar across the neck, for added strength. Kish would never have tolerated that. As I said, I can see that Trepat's technique works perfectly well.It makes for fine performances, obviously. I love the way he plays. Apologies for the length of this response. It is hard to be brief about the fine details of differing techniques.
@Dan Ghofrani I concur with everything you say about technique. Too rigid control of technique - by any master teacher, including Segovia - can potentially hold a student back. Done right, with patience, it can help the student through the most difficult of works. But yes, finally, there comes a time when, having made effective technique integral to the way one plays, a student can transcend technique and find their own artistry and manner of playing. Then comes the magic you describe - of playing, relaxed and fluid, discovering new ways to meet difficulties and bring more out of the instrument. I think it's also beautifully visceral, when you are in those moments, your brain and body working so well together that you're not even conscious of it. When you find yourself doing wonderful things, spontaneously, with a new kind of grace you never so much as imagined before. And lastly, I will have to listen to/watch Tavi Jinariu. That's a new name to me. Thank you.
The guitar that ........talks! And very eloquently , for that mater , with the range equal (and more ) of the human voice. This instrument can murmur , and even whisper , can display emotions of different colors and intensity. All it needs is a guitarist and his fingers. A bit of his soul , too. Thankfully Maestro Carles Trepat is the one that can give it all. Thus the duo makes the third party : the delight called music.
Magnífico concierto, Carles. Siempre con una calidad, una musicalidad y un sabor conmovedor. Felicidades. El repertorio, inmenso: 0:23 Andante largo Op. 5 Nº 5 (Fernando Sor) 7:03 Minueto (Miguel García "Padre Basilio") 14:53 Sarabande (Johann Sebastian Bach) 18:49 Bourrée de la Partita I BWV 1002 para violín (Johann Sebastian Bach) 23:08 Bolero (Julián Arcas) 26:03 Soleá (Julián Arcas) 32:51 Capricho catalán (Isaac Albéniz) 36:47 La Maja de Goya (Enrique Granados) 42:26 El mirar de la Maja (Enrique Granados) 46:12 Dos Zambras: La Salvadora y sin embargo te quiero (Manuel López-Quiroga) 53:36 Los piconeros (bulerías del sigloXVIII) (Juan Mostazo) 58:14 Amar y vivir (Consuelo Velázquez) 1:03:05 Una americana (Magín Alegre) 1:07:20 El cant des ocells (Popular)
You can have your super technical , flashy , lightning fast Romeros . I'll take this gentle hearted, yet passionate, nuanced classical guitar player / gentleman Carles Trepat anyday .
If ever there were a way of expressing love and joy through the arts, Carles does it with his expressive, complete control of the beauty and spirit of his soul through his incredible technique and the perfectly wonderful sound of his instrument. Te amo maestro. Muchas gracias🎼❤🎼
Ouvimos quase todos os dias Carles Trepat. Minha mulher diz que não nos cansamos de ouví-lo. Seu instrumento e suas interpretações são extensões de sua emoção. Parabéns, Maestro.
Cela fait 4 fois que je regarde cette vidéo qui a d'incontestables vertus pédagogiques grâce à une sonorité singulière, unique, idéale (!?), une justesse dans le phrasé et les nuances qui nous font aimer chaque pièce de façon égale; le programme est idéal et les couleurs de l'Espagne sont là à leur sommet, et c'est bien ainsi que je conçois la musique.Bravo Carles Trepat qui met en avant la beauté du répertoire traditionnel, unique de l'Espagne.
I love this performance for a few reasons. First, the musicality amazes me. I personally enjoy the slower, more lyrical compositions. Second, it is filmed in a way that allows me to watch the technique. So often concerts are filmed with the subject too distant or with the frame constantly changing views. Third, Trepat is caressing the instrument, not raising his nose in the air in a grand display of arrogance like some performers, as if it should be all about them and not the music. He seems geuinely humble. I saw Pepe Romero perform Concierto de Aranjuez in El Paso years ago. It was a fine concert. I and others spoke to him aftetwards. He was very friendly and interested in the people there, not at all arrogant, despite his virtuosity and accomplishments. I saw another performer, whom I won't name. His arrogance screamed so loud I couldn't hear the notes he played.
Something else to Trepat's credit: his reportoire is not solely based on famous or virtuoso pieces. Many of the pieces - in terms of technical skill - are quite approachable for even intermediate players. That shows he's mainly interested in the musicality of his repertoire.
Muchas gracias Carles, por este magistral concierto, los que amamos la guitarra sabemos..cuanto hay que dedicarle y sacrificar..Mucha salud y éxitos...Un gran abrazo
No estoy seguro si esa guitarra perteneció a Miguel Llobet o al maestro Tarrega...pero lo que si estoy seguro es que se respira a esta escuela...sensibilidad extrema,poca o nada de una, un sonido muy dulce, poco metálico, en fin una maravilla maestro!!!!!
I read such beautiful words praising this marvelous artist , I’m not sure what I can add . However , I was completely captivated and enthralled by his magnificent artistry . Un mensaje para el artista : Estimado ( y querido ) Carles , hoy fue mi día a conocerte y su arte sublime ; me quedé simplemente encantado . Voy a buscarte más en UA-cam ; tengo que oír más de tu magia en la guitarra Torres . George Lewis, Sr.
My 2 brothers and I grew up on a farm. We had this huge wraparound porch with 3 porch swings and several chairs. My dad would let us sleep out on the porch during a rainstorm, as long as there wasn't a lot of lightning. we would all get our sleeping bags and head for a swing. The wind would keep the swing moving and the rain lulled us to sleep. We never knew until we were grown how mom and dad both would sleep in the living room so they could see out the windows to watch us. Growing up in a town of less than 400 people, there was no crime and those were literally, the best days of my life. This sound definitely takes me back. Thank you!
These are the days we never forget.
Your words are also music that Life played to your family.
Such a peaceful and lovely childhood you had; filled with beautiful memories. I am happy for you. Thank you for sharing.
😊 Your memory with your parents is like poetry with music. 😊
Maestría con dulzura.. Que banquete!!!! Mil graacias y bendiciones, desde Venezuela.
Cuatrocientos sesenta y nueve imbéciles han dado click en pulgar abajo. Qué ceguera. Carles es uno de los intérpretes más equilibrados y maravillosos que existen. Tiene una manera de articular frases tan envidiable. Aplauso.
Tranquilízate. Tu valoración de Trepat es en todo subjetiva y aquí estás sin que nadie te llame imbécil, ciego o sordo por eso. Acepta y respeta los gustos ajenos como se hace con los tuyos.
Que buen uso del ligado y la afinación baja es interesante. Muy bien!! El capricho catalán de Albeniz una maravilla.
giustissimo
Es cierto lo que dices, pero yo no les llamaría imbéciles. Simplemente tienen mal gusto.
He plays calmly in a way that gives the impression that the scores he is playing are very simple, but they are not. It is his way to deal his instrument that is beautiful. His touch gives the necessary force to create a singing sound. I guess this video shows what music is for, no show off, no unnecessary scales and notes racing each others, no exaggeration in the performance and the body language. That authentic musicality that seeks no titles.
Thanks for sharing it.
El Mariachie I totally agree with you. He doesn’t get in the way of the music. Cheers
El Mariachie music has become something of a race, if you can play fast, your good and the faster you can play the better you are. But this is certainly not the case, Keeping his ego out of his performance creating something nothing less the phenomenal. An Incredible performance.
Le professeur I agree, many guitar concerts are more like an Oplympic event, it’s music, god bless it.
I am studying flamenco guitar and my teacher has me learning some classical pieces. Your explanation of Trepat’s playing is a perfect 👍 and it is what I “aspire to” in my practice and mind set

This beautiful and famous guitar the Antonio Torres (1892), is most deserving of a magnificent player like Mr. Trepat and vice versa
All gut strings, as well

Quin gran guitarrista i músic, gràcies Carles
Thank you so much for this great music collection with Guirrara, beautiful execution
Que pasión, que melodía tocó el corazón humano para conducir la mano del sueño a la poesía .
No existe nada ni parecido
It's so strange to hear ancient melodies in modern times. You can feel how silent the space around them was, for melodies so intricate and intimate to emerge from their souls.
Excelente INTERPETRE felicitaciones Maestro .

I had a stressful day and I came across this. Even though I haven't watched even half of it, I know it's going to help.
Es un gran artista. Cuanta expresividad. Bravo!
Esa sutileza está ahí por gracia del amor a la música.
Sin duda ha de ser eso que dices. Será en lo venidero el techo inalcanzable de la más avanzada inteligencia artificial. Es una delicia esta genuina posibilidad humana.
It always amazes me how there's an infinite universe held between just 6 strings and a dozen odd pieces of metal slapped over a piece of wood
I love that he carried the guitar as a precious vessel, like a child or a loved one. At that point you knew it was going to be special. And it was. Thank you.
Gracias, música, por ser una fuente constante de consuelo y apoyo en mi vida.
Vengo de maravillarme viendo al virtuoso Thibaut Garcia, y regreso al maestro Carles, y me reconcilio con la humanidad. Cuanta belleza. Gracias. Genios!

I don't often hit replay but here I go. This touches the heart. It would be beautiful to see a couple dance to this. Absolutely lovely.
Me encantan los agudos de esa guitarra. Sin brillo ni estridencias ...🇺🇾❤️
Si, Debe ser por las cuerdas de tripa, no de nylon.
@DanielAngelAnido no es por la tripa es por la guitarra, la tripa es muchísimo mas aguda que el nylon(los graves de seda están mucho mas muertos que los modernos de nylon).

My favourite classical guitar video. A great guitar player, with a superb guitar and strings, beautifully captured on film. This shows us what we've lost in our race to be louder, brighter, faster. Classical guitar perfection.
+Rob MacKillop I agree with you. He is definitely one of my favorite guitarists. Incidentally you're also one of my favorite guitarists.

Pleasingly peaceful and beautiful playing.
The opening piece by Fernando Sor never fails to bring tears to my eyes ... especially when played so beautifully!
Words cannot fully describe the wonderfully playing of some difficult pieces. quite beautiful and so relaxing to listen to. Thank you Charles Trepat.
Absolute professional. Greets the crowd, plays entrancing music, thanks the crowd, savors the cheers. Not a word. Just art.
Muy agradecido por haber llegado aquí, como ya dijeron en los comentarios un gran interprete y artista muy expresivo y apasionado

So rare to watch a master work at their craft. Thank you, sir.
When he enters the stage, he hold the guitar like it's the star causing the applauds, rather than himself. I like that.

@Dan Ghofrani I can only comment as regards the technique I was taught. I don't pretend it's the 'right' way to play classical guitar because I personally believe that different styles, as long as they allow you to progress and play more difficult work as you build your repertoire. happen naturally, and are absolutely acceptable. My last teacher, Gabrielle Kish, was not of the same mind. She. insisted, for example, that the left hand must be elevated more than Trepat does, in order that the left hand fingers are coming straight down on the strings, not at an angle. She insisted that this was the best technique, allowing you to play more difficult pieces as your technique 'solidified'. It felt awkward at first, but, once it became second nature, it did actually mean very precise and clean connection with the strings, with just the very tips of the fingers making contact wherever you played on the neck. The result was as she said - I could play my existing repertoire much more cleanly and progressed to much more difficult music, like Albeniz' Leyenda, which I could not manage well before. With bar chords, the first finger was rolled/placed so that the front of the finger made contact, right behind the fret. Trepat plays with the back or the flat of the first finger making connection at the fret. If I remember right, he sometimes uses two fingers at times to make the bar across the neck, for added strength. Kish would never have tolerated that. As I said, I can see that Trepat's technique works perfectly well.It makes for fine performances, obviously. I love the way he plays. Apologies for the length of this response. It is hard to be brief about the fine details of differing techniques.
@Dan Ghofrani I concur with everything you say about technique. Too rigid control of technique - by any master teacher, including Segovia - can potentially hold a student back. Done right, with patience, it can help the student through the most difficult of works. But yes, finally, there comes a time when, having made effective technique integral to the way one plays, a student can transcend technique and find their own artistry and manner of playing. Then comes the magic you describe - of playing, relaxed and fluid, discovering new ways to meet difficulties and bring more out of the instrument. I think it's also beautifully visceral, when you are in those moments, your brain and body working so well together that you're not even conscious of it. When you find yourself doing wonderful things, spontaneously, with a new kind of grace you never so much as imagined before. And lastly, I will have to listen to/watch Tavi Jinariu. That's a new name to me. Thank you.
Qué sonido y delicadeza, gracias maestro Trepat por ofrecernos este recital tan bonito.
Very unusual and warm tones. Beautiful playing on 125 year old guitar, with gut strings.
Aha. Thank you for this information. 😊
Ah it’s gut! I thought they were just old strings
The guitar that ........talks! And very eloquently , for that mater , with the range equal (and more ) of the human voice. This instrument can murmur , and even whisper , can display emotions of different colors and intensity. All it needs is a guitarist and his fingers. A bit of his soul , too. Thankfully Maestro Carles Trepat is the one that can give it all. Thus the duo makes the third party : the delight called music.
So well said, he, his guitar, the composers, the music, all sharing with us as one.

Very relaxing and soft music ♥ Thank you for making my day better
You can have your super technical , flashy , lightning fast Romeros . I'll take this gentle hearted, yet passionate, nuanced classical guitar player / gentleman Carles Trepat anyday .
se oyen las diferentes voces nitidisimas, y la música romantica es tratada con la delicadeza adecuada.Muy buena interpretación.
Bona música, tocada amb emoció i gran sensibilitat. Enhorabona Carles!
If ever there were a way of expressing love and joy through the arts, Carles does it with his expressive, complete control of the beauty and spirit of his soul through his incredible technique and the perfectly wonderful sound of his instrument. Te amo maestro. Muchas gracias🎼❤🎼
🖤🦋🖤
Performed live, there are no redo's.
Very clean. Amazing work.
I think a person must really love their music to play like he does.
I don't know this gentleman, but the sound quality and finesse of his playing is undoubtedly quite beautiful. Thank you.
Maestro su armonía y acentuación con el alma son exquisitas.

.Bravísomo!
He vuelto a escuchar este recital muchas veces. Es maravilloso
Ouvimos quase todos os dias Carles Trepat. Minha mulher diz que não nos cansamos de ouví-lo. Seu instrumento e suas interpretações são extensões de sua emoção.
Parabéns, Maestro.
Literally most beautiful sound I've heard. Chamber in it's best sence, so warm and delicate.
& As well as his finest interpretation of the musical material
So delicate the way the music reaches the heart! Thank you, Maestro!
So beautiful to listen to at the end of a long day.. so calming and meditative!
Mastery of beauty with art. Thank you for spending the time to do this.
Cela fait 4 fois que je regarde cette vidéo qui a d'incontestables vertus pédagogiques grâce à une sonorité singulière, unique, idéale (!?), une justesse dans le phrasé et les nuances qui nous font aimer chaque pièce de façon égale; le programme est idéal et les couleurs de l'Espagne sont là à leur sommet, et c'est bien ainsi que je conçois la musique.Bravo Carles Trepat qui met en avant la beauté du répertoire traditionnel, unique de l'Espagne.
I love this performance for a few reasons. First, the musicality amazes me. I personally enjoy the slower, more lyrical compositions. Second, it is filmed in a way that allows me to watch the technique. So often concerts are filmed with the subject too distant or with the frame constantly changing views. Third, Trepat is caressing the instrument, not raising his nose in the air in a grand display of arrogance like some performers, as if it should be all about them and not the music. He seems geuinely humble.
I saw Pepe Romero perform Concierto de Aranjuez in El Paso years ago. It was a fine concert. I and others spoke to him aftetwards. He was very friendly and interested in the people there, not at all arrogant, despite his virtuosity and accomplishments. I saw another performer, whom I won't name. His arrogance screamed so loud I couldn't hear the notes he played.
Something else to Trepat's credit: his reportoire is not solely based on famous or virtuoso pieces. Many of the pieces - in terms of technical skill - are quite approachable for even intermediate players. That shows he's mainly interested in the musicality of his repertoire.
The Best ❤
Muchas gracias Carles, por este magistral concierto, los que amamos la guitarra sabemos..cuanto hay que dedicarle y sacrificar..Mucha salud y éxitos...Un gran abrazo
This is art. To me. When it gets into my soul. That is the level needed. So wonderful.
One of the best guitarists I have ever heard
Trepat, sin duda uno de las más excelsos quitarristas de la actualidad. Sobriedad y técnica consumada.
Thank you so much . Your guitar sound melt forozen soul in my heart.
No estoy seguro si esa guitarra perteneció a Miguel Llobet o al maestro Tarrega...pero lo que si estoy seguro es que se respira a esta escuela...sensibilidad extrema,poca o nada de una, un sonido muy dulce, poco metálico, en fin una maravilla maestro!!!!!
gran ejecución se puede apreciar belleza y armonía de una forma clara y musical.
You must have a beautiful soul to play this well, or a painful life for the guitar to sing so beautifully with you! Thankyou!
Jestem zachwycona to tyle i aż tyle kochani
Ja tez
This is co calm and beautiful. My soul is soothed 😊❤
Коротко и справедливо! 👍🤝❤
I read such beautiful words praising this marvelous artist , I’m not sure what I can add . However , I was completely captivated and enthralled by his magnificent artistry . Un mensaje para el artista : Estimado ( y querido ) Carles , hoy fue mi día a conocerte y su arte sublime ; me quedé simplemente encantado . Voy a buscarte más en UA-cam ; tengo que oír más de tu magia en la guitarra Torres . George Lewis, Sr.
The Torres Guitar sounds unbelievable and of course his playing is awesome as well..
