You guys are terrific. I say this as a 76 year old retired violinist who performed in professional symphony orchestras and string quartets for 50 years. You are both superb musicians.
@@zogzog1063 Wasted life as a lawyer? Well, I'm now in my 40s and set to start law school because I saw software engineering a waste. Perhaps we both have the "grass is greener" syndrome.
What a delightful and soothing comment......and spot on!!!!!! Besides the musicians are the most soulful people on earth.....so special at this time.....
I agree with Lois Conra sudch a lovely comment ... i realised I was getting healed too listening to this beautiful playing. Yes they are both very soulful it's the only way you play with such sensitivity.
I am addicted to your Bach videos. So many of them. Now I just realised that I addicted to all videos by you. Brilliant musics come out from your Guitar !! Unbelieavable
There are 9 dislikes on here, out of respect for the artist I will hold my tongue, and I understand everyone is afforded their opinion, but wtf. I’m flabbergasted by any dislikes and thoroughly amazed by the artists. Thank you for such a beautiful piece 🙏
I think most of the dislikes get clicked rather by accident than with a hateful intend. I noticed that when I came back to a video I always liked and saw that I somehow downvoted it without even knowing how I did it. Guess it happened on my phone with my clumsy fingers... So no big deal
Beautiful !. I believe some of your renditions are among the best classical guitar duet performances ever and I am not exaggerating. Thank you for making our lives better.
Two of the best guitar players worldwide, how great the two of you got together, you are 100% connected with your music. I am SO glad I found your music, it has given me SO much pleasure, joy and peace. I am `very grateful` for everything you play together Drew and Michael.
Gentlemen - Thank you for the beautiful work you have given us. I think Antonio Vivaldi would be ecstatic with your interpretation of his work. You made both his spirit and his work come to life while at the same time giving us a marvelous creation all of your own. It is wonderful. Steve MacCarthy Los Angles, Ca
What a gift from God... as I was taking my evening walk through these abandoned streets, this lovely melody begins to play in my earphones. Imagine that... a divine treat. Just what I needed to restore faith that someday soon, our planet may get back to normal.
Dividing your attention between work and listening to music is an insult to the music and a disservice to whoever is the beneficiary of the work you do
I thought "Oh no, not another Vivaldi transcription" and decided to give it a couple of minutes. I've now listened to it FIVE TIMES. Absolutely stunning, guys. I was very interested in the use of a capo - not often seen in classical guitar recitals - but I can see why you used it. Great! I've subscribed. I'm hooked. 42 dislikes? Huh?
I play the classical guitar, I even played duos with my brother so I know what I am talking about....what you guys do is simply surreal! It become nearly an obsession for me to listen to you almost every day and I wish I can see everyday a new clip on youtube! :) Simply unbelievable technique, sound and interpretation! Breathtaking! When Drew brings in the 8 string guitar everything goes nuts! :) 🙏🙏🙏
This was absolutely beautiful and the quality and detail of the paying is superb. The arrangement is brilliant. I wouldn't have ever known this wasn't written for two guitars if I hadn't read it. Just extraordinary. The slow movement was magic. Thank you.
Ah I'm so excited!! I've probably listened to your Beethoven video 100+ times at work. I'm just in awe of how you can fit SO MUCH SOUND into those 2 guitars. You both are experts at using all the different colors the guitar has to offer. Bravo! Always a joy to see you two perform can't wait for the next one ^_^ Please come to Minnesota if you ever tour the US! Luke
I have waited and waited before I would make a comment. not wanting to repeat the many other praises that are made and when it comes to a certain piece of music everyone has and opinion or their favorite that they feel is the finest thing they have ever herd. sometimes I wonder if music is really universal in the way its peaks to the heart. likes are certainly not universal. when Ihear music I can not help but see patterns and geomitric designs and at times what I see is sublime in this piece there are places that the notes fall from the sky when you both make these glorious cascading scales together its the most beautiful thing I have ever herd from the guitar like jewls raining down . few musician are willing to let another play in sync you both value the end prouduct of whats possible together. again I still am lost for words unable to say how wonderful it sounds. and I was not fan of this kind of classical music It has surly elevated it far above its original composition . and one final word of praise for not even one of those Inferno sounds of screech from the finger slideing upon the string. something nearly impossible to do. now I will go away for this place is one Im unworthy to offer anything meaningfull thank you
I want to blast this so the whole RV park can hear it. But I won't. I will just enjoy it and be amazed at how easy you make it look. I will go back to try to make what I play sound like something. Thank you so much for sharing, very grateful.
Classical guitarists never use sheet music because it’s impossible for us because one note can be found in different positions unlike the piano where each note has a fixed spot
I have to qualify your statement by saying “alive”. The best duo alive. I’m enjoying the virtuosity of this duo as much as I had when Dickey Betts played with the late Duane Allman. Who were just as accomplished in their musical genre as these two are in theirs.
Everytime I watch your videos and listen to your performances you inspire me to keep playing the classical guitar and get better. Beautiful music, beautifully executed by both of you. Thanks !
The harpsichord-like effec at the beginning by combining the sound of two guitars at different pitches is one of the most amazing things I've seen this week (and we're in the midst of a riot and a pandemics)
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Excellenteeeee!!! So good... Two Apostles of salvation... excellent men... excellent players... and the Gospel is preached around the world... Vivaldi... The Red Priest!
Long live this great partnership. The first performance I enjoyed of these two virtuosos was by Alessandro Marcello, since then every piece performed is a marvelous gift to us all. Thanks.
Excellent music and musicianship. Enjoying listening to your beautiful playing whilst in isolation because of the virus. ♥️ from Charlotte Cove Tasmania, Australia.
Just came across this randomly looking for another piece, and I am incredibly impressed. You two are synced together so insanely well, not just in tempo/rhythm but also in musicality. It genuinely sounds like a single instrument played. Incredible all around!
Bravo! You two have given me so much pleasure to listen to over the years. So happy to find you by chance today here and see you two play toghether. Einfulung!
Nights in White Satin. Dust in the Wind. Stairway to Heaven. Shine on You Crazy Diamond & Wish You Were Here & Time. Lay Down. And so on, and so on. Look, I'm not dissing "classical" music, but "pop rock" also has something to offer.
@@joanarling Just il ritorno di ulisse by monteverdi smash all that progressive rock, sometimes i listen to lamb lies down on broadway, but thats bad taste I have to educate.
Drew thank you for beautiful performance of the brilliantly transcribed Vivaldi! It is flawless, and inspiring. Looking forward to more from you two, especially in this bewildering world of chaos..
Quelle sensibilité et quelle harmonie dans votre jeu. Absolument fan. Merci de nous faire partager votre amour de la musique. Que les anges vous inspirent.
Nunca escuchada una tal forma de tocar la guitarra...además en perfecto duo... Bravísimo...junto con Vivaldi y con QUIEN los creó... Y...¡un creciente éxito! Sinceramente...encantado. - Mil Gracias!
Wow! You guys got some ENSEMBLE! It's really exciting to hear you guys playing together so accurately! It's maybe because I'm trained as an orchestral musician. It's really hard to get 90 folks to play together as one, and I know the INDIVIDUAL discipline required in that. I see that orchestral discipline in your (plural) playing. Bravo.
I keep expecting some slip up...especially for instance in places like 1:57. When musicians start doing dynamic swells like this, the timing always gets off at least a little. Bravo again.
Good duos listen to each other and respond accordingly. Great duos predict when each other will play and play accordingly. Your (plural) ensemble is always astounding.
Gracias por completar este concierto. Las guitarras le quitan algo de solemnidad y le dan mas vivacidad y brillo. Me encanta; Os amo por ser musicos excelentes!
Your music is stunning and beautiful, and you are gorgeous to watch. It is also relaxing when I don't watch you, and I just let the sounds sink in. I'm buying your CDs so you know I support you. Thank you!

Wow....what a magnificent performance!!!! Absolutely superb!! Beautiful to hear!!
As a classical guitarist for many years I think this performance is... superlatives fail me! This is a Transcendent level of playing. Viva La guitar!

Many people hate classical guitar as it sounds tacky and trite
I think most of the dislikes get clicked rather by accident than with a hateful intend. I noticed that when I came back to a video I always liked and saw that I somehow downvoted it without even knowing how I did it. Guess it happened on my phone with my clumsy fingers... So no big deal
I am seriously interested in reasons for those dislikes? Is it maybe purism? Like, 'how dare you play my violin concerto on a guitar' ?
Norm Meunier Jealousy, I guess. these musicians are Amazing !!!
@@Pinpadprompts so they come just to downvote it because it's a type of music they don't like? Sad.

Another amazing performance by this Duo. I hope to hear them in person someday.
I must admit, every single time I hear you play I am impressed, but this absolutely incredible. Speechless.
This is why the guitar is my favourite instrument to listen to.
Beautiful arrangement and rendition. Superb nuances. The recording work is also excellent.
I simply keep coming back to this recording time and time again. Each time it sounds as fresh and enjoyable as the first time.
I want to work with this in the background, but I can't stop looking at how wonderfully you guys perform these songs. I'm amazed!

Whats wrong with Vivaldi? Plus, to my recollection, this is the only Vivaldi transcription they have done.
No words can express either Vivaldi composer, and these two guitar performers.
Fantástico esse duo. Parabéns pela execução, arranjo e pela produção.
Ten minutes and fifty two seconds of pure joy at a time when we could all use every opportunity to breathe. Cheers.
Excellent camera, sound, lighting and editing. Bravo to all...

And its all played from memory, without sheet music, that's what makes this performance even more amazing, apart from its brilliant performance.

The "worlds" finest guitar duo, without a doubt :)
And, without a doubt, you have never heard the Brothers Abreu

Thank you so much! We actually played this a lot and recorded it 15 years ago. We relearned it for one concert and this video. So glad you enjoyed it!
Another outstanding guitar playing by the young guitar players. Ecxellent!
An extraordinary transcribed piece of guitar music. Every note is finely touched and transformed into pure and natural sound. Brilliant!

What I really like with classical music is that it expresses "High spiritual value" such thing that does not exists so often in pop rock.
