Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra 🎶
@Eric Phillips His early retirement from the stage (and studio) was certainly a surprise. Maybe an injury explains it? Or maybe he just didn't enjoy it.…

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra 🎶
@Olli Very nice, Olli. You really capture the ‘capricious’ character of the piece. (I used to play it so slowly that it sounded more like a dirge than a Capricho!) Btw,…

@Jack Stewart Add me to the list of cycling enthusiasts! Although for me, it's mostly about a better way of commuting. No back problems, but I've bashed up my wrists once or twice.…

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra 🎶
@Eric Phillips You're lucky! I'd love to have seen him. My parents had a couple of his recordings in their LP collection. Listening to him really cultivated my love of the guitar.

@Eric Phillips I don't mean to offend you, Eric, but if I'm being completely honest, I would say you sound more like Parkening than Russell. Which isn't to say, of course,…

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra 🎶
@Eric Phillips That's a nice analogy! And I agree with what you say about playing repertoire like this. I always think it's better to play an 'easy' piece well than a difficult piece badly.…

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra 🎶
@Blaise Laflamme It sounds very good with the capo, that's for sure! And it occurs to me that an argument can be made in favour of its use: the baroque guitar,…

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra 🎶
@Eric Phillips Thanks for posting more of this under-appreciated 'pre-Tarrega' repertoire, Eric! It is charming, and by the looks of it, falls nicely under the fingers - exactly what we amateurs…

@Blaise Laflamme Very fine playing, Blaise. The audio and video quality are incredible too! Definitely A++! May I ask, though, why you decided to use a capo here?…

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra 🎶
@Jack Stewart That's an amusing story, Jack. I can see why you'd be put off Milan after that. Reminds me vaguely of Alex and Beethoven in A Clockwork Orange.

@joosje Beautiful performance, Joosje. Very sensitive phrasing and dynamics. Thanks for sharing the historical context of the piece. Is life like that in the end - a thousand regrets? I hope not!…

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra 🎶
@Eric Phillips Really well played, Eric. One of my favourites as well. As you say, much harder than it appears - as is often the case with Sor, I find.…

Re: WEEK 3: El Canto de la Guitarra 🎶
@joosje Very nice, Joosje - lovely phrasing! I often see the composer referred to simply as Luys Milan, without the 'de'; apparently both forms are possible. As you say, he was certainly Spanish.…

@Eric Phillips I agree, that's one 'cool' (!?) guitar Ian Hunter is playing! Great song, though.

@Moyses Lopes Very impressive control, Moyses! And not particularly slow, even if it's not quite Ms. Vidovic's tempo. It's fast enough to work musically, which is what counts!…
