    Guitar: 1888 Antonio de Torres (SE 116) "La Italica" (www.guitarsalo...)
    Here's Andrew York playing 'Yamour' (the title track from his most recent CD - available here: tinyurl.com/kwh...) on a gorgeous 1888 Antonio de Torres "La Italica" that sounds fantastic with virtually any style of music, including this beautifully haunting contemporary piece. This guitar is also known as "La Italica" due to its headplate (which we removed for the recording). Read all about this historic guitar here (tinyurl.com/mvl....

    Maybe everyone has to know how this song came from. Like 4 years ago I was still helping to Andrea V. for festival and Andrew York came to festival and wrote this song for him but he didn't find a name yet .we were in dinner with Muriel Anderson and other musicians she said to him why don't you give name of Yağmur (which is my name) it's exotic and mysterious. We talked and he decided to give this name first he called the song with my actual name Yağmur then he changed cuz not everyone knows how to pronounce this name he changed the name like how u pronounce it 'Yamour'. I'm really proud of this.if u wanna know what yağmur means...rain

    My wife is a really incredible guitarist and can memorize pieces on the instrument very quickly... So once, when we were teens, I had had a particularly bad day and couldn't sleep that night. So, knowing how much I love classical music, she learned this piece and sat next to my bed playing it all night until I fell asleep. I can't listen to it without getting a little teary-eyed now.

    Andrew York is a stunningly talented artist. He plays with true mastery and his compositions are gorgeous. I had the extreme pleasure of seeing him in concert and then auditing one of his master classes recently and I'm still blown away by the breadth of his knowledge and his cheerful warmth and generosity when sharing all he knows with other guitarists. Please support him in any way you can; he's a real musical genius and a heck of a nice guy, too.

    The piece and this performance are such a masterpiece! To me, York pieces are characterized by colorful chords and beautiful melodies. But the playing... he's just a master of dynamic and timbre manipulation, and for this piece the bit of voice accompaniment really adds to that. It's such a vibrant, beautiful performance. I can't stop watching it!

Este ha de ser el camino, avanzar sin olvidar...

There's something special about seeing an artist play their own stuff with feeling and depth. Doesn't happen often in the classical guitar world because everybody plays the old stuff (which I love by the way).

    A track I never want to end - A truly remarkable player with infusions of Jazz bass lines, as heard in this piece - York is far more than a nylon classical player. In much of his work we hear ancient lute, the classics and a fusion of streetstyle warm fingerpicking, there is even Romanic type folk style laced with his own trait. As much as I adore Williams or Bream Classical, York brings much more colour, more poetry and is more than capable and willing of breaking 'classical rules' to bring texture and amazement. Much appreciated is the brilliance.

    this is one of the greatest performances I've ever listened to, the song is beautiful, the guitar sounds amazing, and Andrew York is incredible. beyond the melody and harmonies of the song itself, the perfectly placed subtle vibrato and harmonics and right hand playing angle to effortlessly change the timbre of the notes, is goosebump inducing if you really take a critical listen. to top it off he fades it out with just his dynamics, who needs a DAW fade out! maybe that's more common than I thought, but its so cool.
    It sounds so good in this setting it makes the studio version almost un-listenable (sorry not sorry!)
