This is the best interpretation amongst guitar and lute players I have ever heard! It is not too much technicality ,just music to dance. Thank you Maestro!
A grandeur and humility... maybe just awe of music and hard work pervades Hopkinson Smith.. as a very young man I meet him in Vicenza in San Felice e Fortunato..
Superb. My favourite guitar piece. But you really made it sing, even on such a relatively quiet instrument. So good to hear such a piece on an instrument of the time, especially from such a maestro.
I'm having a hard time figuring out why the modern Spanish guitar has completely over run these classical baroque guitars. They are wonderful and the sound is very enchanting, I'd like to see them used more frequently.
Mainly because of baroque's very low volume. Besides spanish guitar has much better sound qualities and wider range of notes. But I love baroque guitar too.
they are also difficult to manufacture and unfortunatly musicians into that particular music and in need of these specific instruments are no legion I don't even want to figure out how much money they would ask for a luth or barok guitar or any instrument being in use in middle age and renaissance considéring how expensive some of the basic classical spanish guitars can be several thousand dollars or euros for good quality concert size nylon string guitars it would make these old instrument very hard to afford
@@zazaa124, a Baroque guitar has choirs but the highest string is a single not a choir. The low volume has nothing to do with the strings per se. Although the sound is more vibrant due to the usage of gut instead of nylon.
Technique is different and as said these are very quiet: lovely as a parlour instrument but too quiet for concert stage. Volume was the reason use of the nail and flesh rather than just flesh developed too in classical guitar playing.
My most favourite song to whistle to.... thank you so much for sharing this wonderful bard's music with me. I love his work on this piece, and, i can whistle it very well too, always makes me feel so alive and whole, and it just makes me bust with happiness. thank you.
Greg, I myself also like whistling (voices of) classical pieces. But this one must be demanding because of the intertwined voices. E.g. for me it is hard to figure out the leading voice of this piece. But the feeling is the same!
Es trasladarse imaginariamente a la época y ambiente en que fue escrita la obra y escuchar la verdadera guitarra barroca. Muy buena versión. Felicitaciones.
Even though the guitar is kind of more powerful (ad have more resources, strings) this vihuela transports us to a magic time where music was part of the human life in castles, streets, bars, and churches....Mr. Hopkinson Smith is the very best!
J'ai rencontré Hopkinson Smith à Sedan. Il m'a serré la main quand je lui ai dit que je jouais de la guitare baroque. Je ne voulais plus la laver ensuite pour garder ses cellules sur celles de main!
Beautiful instrument. So the baroque guitar is doubly stringed. Is it a descendant of the vihuela? The plucking technique is so different. I wonder what Caspar Sanz would have thought about Joaquin Rodrigo's adaption of his theme in the lovely Fantasia para un gentilhombre almost four centuries later.
Years and years ago I used to think lute music and baroque guitar music was dated but my perception totally changed. If a piece of music gives people listening pleasure then its mission accomplished.

Makes for the low volume by using 10 strings (tuned in pairs?)

Felicitaciones!!, que maestria y virtuosismo!!
Technicalyl amazing. CLEAN as a Whistle!!!
Grandissimo Hopkinson Smith, strumentista e musicologo raffinato, brillante. Si rimane incantati, vera musica.
the later parts of his score are interpretations i haven't heard.
Amazing! Thanks, Maestro🎶🎵
Creo escuchar aquí a la música tátara-tátarabuela de no pocas músicas folclóricas en América. Hermosísima composición como también la interpretación.
I met Hoppy many years ago. Great musician!
¡Bravísimo! Es la mejor interpretación que he escuchado en mi vida.
I am new to baroque guitar music and I'm not familiar with this gentleman, but, I know a virtuoso performance when I see one. Bravo

Muito lindo, maestro, Deus te guarde!
Just beautiful what a maestro :)
So beautiful, and yet hard to whistle, thank you for this rendition of one of the most wonderful tunes in history, thank you so much....
brillliant ! no other word can describe this performance.he looks totally exhausted at the end. just gave his all what a master
El Maestro! Magnifico Hoppy! Grazie
So nice and cheerful - so contrasting to the grey day I am having LOL

Si vous comprenez cette musique vous avez compris le monde. Aucun mot n'est nécessaire et le monde ira ou il doit.

GOOD!!
Absolutely wonderful, Hoppy.
Even when techique begins to fail, such a great muscality!
Notre maître à tous ! 🤩🤩🤩
Magnifique!
hipnótica la interpretación,
bravo
Música maravillosa en manos exquisitas que tocan un instrumento con la respuesta exacta. Gracias
Magnificent.
Gran artista!
Bravíssimo!!!
As rich pure and satisfying as morning mist as the Sun rises.
Bliss to hear, fascinating to watch.
A écouter sans fin
Que maravilla desde Tenerife
Fantástico, técnica al servicio de la musicalidad, ese el secreto del maestro Hopkinson Smith.
美しいローズ。もちろん演奏も素敵。
le plaisir à écouter, et a jouer surement...
its so spanish-y
and very renissance-y too!
very old english-y!!
¡Maestro!

Such a nice guitar and playing
流石です！ 素晴らしい！
sublime !
Magnifique....
It sounds so cute! :)
Fantastic.
Enchanting - exquisite - now go and listen to his performance of the Chaconne on the lute !
That was a big ukulele! :-) Well played. Interesting to hear.

Un Grand , le plus grand.
Brillante!!!!!!!!!!!
Qué rico suena :3
WOW Sheer brilliance ..
Amazing
Il n'y a que 5 cordes et Joaquin Rodrigo a magnifié cette musique dans son concerto pour un gentilhomme
Si on croise ce Monsieur dans la rue on le prend pour un gentil fonctionnaire ! Mais pas du tout ! c'est un interprète génial : merci Monsieur

Maravilloso 😀
His first name is Hopkinson?
Agora entendo por que a última parte da belíssima Fantasía Para un Gentilhombre, do grande Joaquín Rodrigo, se chama Canario.
¿¿Afinación italiana??
great mans!!

His hands were made for this.
Anyone know the chord profession he did in the beginning ?
fantastic.
Casi un Malambo argentino....
Чудесно!
El puto amo.
Super! Super! Super!
EXCELENTE. UNA LECCION
Beautiful: i’d love an early guitar.Technique is more lute than modern guitar though
Ohhh!!! Maravilla
awesom!!!
fabuloso
Quanta bellezza.
great
The rose on his guitar looks like one on a lute, most of the ones I have seen are down in the sound hole and are made of stiff paper. Interesting.
Would love to hear Scarlatti played on vihuela
Wow!
