This is not Gnossienne no. 1, it’s no. 3 I made a mistake in posting tue URL. I’ve just added the correct video.

What a shame: someone voted 1 star, which is a personal point of view absolutely wrong regarding the performance, the quality of the video, or of the music.
Plus, he didn’t have the balls to post a comment…
We should record the IP of this kind of voter and ban them for being an obstacle in the world of music. This kind of vote don’t allow the approach of music for users having a low knowledge about guitar, performers and authors of music for guitar.
He could have said that he wasn’t appreciating personally this kind of music, or something to let us understand, but even… The system of vote is not here to let us share this way to approach music.
Nothing can allow such a bad behavior!!!
I hope that voting is ONLY available to registered users!!!

About this performance… It’s really awesome, and, as usually, Galina Vale let us be the wisdom of her genius. She is perhaps THE lady of the guitar for our time. Some other ladies are great performers, like Ana Vidovic, but they don’t have half of her personality and of her talent to give us the feeling that music is well alive.
Galina Vale gives full life to music!

Galina Vale and his magical guitar, on a lovely video, playing a cute romanza written by the genius Morel…
What else shall we do have to be happy?

Comment on Bach - BWV 1007 Prelude in D, Peo Kindgren by Jive

Jive — Wed, 30 May 2007 04:16:28 +0000

Master Peo, playing on a guitar not as good as his other one being varnished (am I right?), but the magical moment still there. And the Peo’s timing is so fantastic that everything is colored particularly and should be called: the Peo’s touch!!!

Comment on Improvisation - Galiarda, Paul O’Dette by Jive

Incredible Paul ODette!!!
I watched firstly very suspiciously the quality of such a performance. Then, I finished by being astonished by the fantastic imagination of this man, unknown by me until now. Imagination and professionalism of a performer playing on an old instrument, not really very pleasant to listen.
By the way Daniele, “Improvisation” is not the name of the author (Paul O’Dette himself?)

Comment on Brouwer - Un Dia De Noviembre, Peo Kindgren by Jive

Jive — Wed, 30 May 2007 02:16:20 +0000

Do you really think that I can stay with a lack of words, after having commented a lot of videos from Peo? If yes, you’re wrong!
Thus… What can I say?
Well… Peo selected from Brouwer one of his very rare melodic music, a pure jewel. Yes, it’s a very well known masterpiece, but his way to play it is so… sensitive, so… cute. I don’t want to listen it differently anymore.
When I watch this video, I have the feeling to look at a priest in a church, praying.
INCREDIBLE: I didn’t watch the very first pictures of the video, because I launched at the same time a download for this file. And I have just now watched the beginning… What to say?… I let you be the only one judge!!!

Comment on Tarrega - Prelude no 1 in d - minor, Peo Kindgren by Jive

Jive — Wed, 30 May 2007 01:16:57 +0000

Another marvel from the prince of the sounds, the man with a transparent soul, the chameleon. Nothing more to write… Silence, this music is still in me… No, don’t talk to me now… Stay quite, the music fills me and I’m still vibrating with the harmonics…

Comment on Moreno-Torroba - Torija, Peo Kindgren by Jive

Jive — Wed, 30 May 2007 00:19:03 +0000

a good guitarist?!? Good ??? :-(
What is music, apart pure energy having taken a body once manifested within our world? And Peo is able to “smell” it, to feel it so deeply that his music is fully alive and, at the same time, fully extra ordinary. Each time I’m listening a music played by him, I feel the “Yes, that’s it !!” , like if he was playing as I would have played it if I had the same skill, which is absolutely not the case.
And yes, he is very special, unique, and so simple. Amazing!
… What?… Oh yes, I’m a fan. A fan because I’m like hypnotized when I watch a video of the man.

You’re right!!! Ida Presti didn’t have the success that she would have had normally, because of his husband Alexandre Lagoya. She was always staying in the background, the foreground being for him. Thus, she was a genius herself with her guitar.
A book written by her daughter is currently sold, and it should be quite interesting to know more about this Lady of the guitar.

Comment on Tarrega - Estudio en mi menor, Liona Boyd by Jive

Jive — Tue, 29 May 2007 18:28:15 +0000

What an horrible video!!!
The soundtrack is atrocious, and the “Lady of the guitar”, like she is pleased to call herself, is playing a VERY bad tremolo, and far too much speedy, making of this so beautiful song an horror.
I hate this video!!!
I was stupid to vote 2 stars… I should have voted 0 star.
Don’t make me tell what I didn’t tell: I have a lot of mp3 (all fully legally obtained) and some of them are very fine. But I highly dislike this… shit.

Peo Kindgren is the best guitarist that I had the privilege to watch and to listen, one of the best of the world.
He has a particular way to play, full of feelings, full of love, full of life. I love this man, the guitarist and the man himself, thus I’m not homosexual. No, I love him like a Man can love another Man, with respect and fraternity. Yes, indeed, I love him deeply. It’s why I composed an homage to him: “Song for Peo”, based on one of his own compositions, “Prelude XII”.
This song “Moreno-Torroba - Torija” let us feel the depth of his soul and of his heart, and how great is his touch while playing on his fabulous guitar.
Another important point: great quality of the video, and a soundtrack particularly beautiful.

The master, here… I never saw him before, so it’s with a great emotion that I watched this video. Thank you to the uploader.

Wow! It’s so great to SEE her. Even if the video isn’t the best. She had the most beautiful sound!
