Yep. I'm a pianist and sometimes when Im playing a piece that took me years to learn, I always get amazed at how the fuck my brain and fingers are doing this. Seriously, playing an instrument is one of the most amazing things that a human can do.
As a guitarist, that's true. Like, I play the pieces, but even I get amazed and I don't really know how I do these things. I mean, yes I know, but when I see recordings it's like, it's amazing how I can do these things
I believe that this performance set a standard for many students like myself, upon which they built their own interpretations of this magnificent piece. I marvel at how great is Pierri's undersanding of this piece's rhythmics, I have never heard another player capture its spirit so faithfully. It is an absolute masterpiece of a performance
This is far and away the best version of Choros 1. True emotion and rhythm, evoking the heart of brazilian music. And a huge inspiration for me. Gracias maestro!
Es una pieza musical llena de sentimiento, representa el dote artístico del interprete. Heiter Villa Lobos, uno de los grandes expontentes de la música del Brasil, hace parte de la historia musical latinoamericana.
I dont remember the last time I called a performance perfect! The sound is soo clear and hes so far from making any mistakes. Plus the interpretation itself is really interesting BRAVO!
I have to agree. One of the best, if not THE best interpretation of this piece. According to my taste, at least. I love the way he does it, rhythm, dynamics, and also the little freedoms he takes by embellishing certain phrases.
juanthorpez oloco, alvaro pierri interpretou bem pra caramba cara, também tá entre uma das melhores interpretações pra mim, junto com a de Turíbio santos
As almost always, maestro Pierri takes HUGE liberties with the tempo here. Some will always hate that, but I love it. I remember seeing him in concert playing Albeniz "Sevillia" and it became unrecognizable midway through. It was still great.
This is 'Chorinho' or simply 'Choro', a Brazilian musical style that combines European classical music with Brazilian popular street music from the 19th century (samba e batucada). The great reference in the creation of the style was Chiquinha Gonzaga, pianist and first woman to conduct an orchestra in Brazil.
This is wonderful playing the tone of the guitar was out of this world and the interpretation was perfect. The last few bars the tempo speeded up which gave a different twist to what is normally expected and worked a treat. GGSNI
It's a pretty good effort, this tune when you play it is a little like getting in and out of a taxi between getting on tram that almost crashed into a bus.
Enjoying learning this piece (on Steel and nylon guitars). Thankfully I just got through learning Gran Jota (by Tárrega) ..so, I now have +5 defence from awkward phrasing and techniques
I like the sound quality alot. His guitar is very nice. He plays the right hand with such ease. I have hector villa lobos on youtube with my A. Hermosa guitar. It is achallenge to play that guitar!
If it's too hard to play, you take one measure at a time and play it over and over until you have it down, then you go to measure 2. It's amazing how the brain and fingers will assimilate the information little by little. But if you never do it, then guess what?
Alto controle no fraseado, interpretação, apesar das convenções, contida e séria. Realmente muito boa essa versão. Mas achei ela mais parecida com um tango do que com um choro. O acompanhamento ficou meio estático, na minha opinião.
Nessas horas que a "brasilidade" faz diferença. As interpreta do Turíbio Santos, por exemplos, são anos-luz mais fidedignas a abordagem de choro que a música pede.
He's the best I've found so far, but I feel like it's a bit too much of a classical music interpretation (focused on strict crescendos and traditional building, across phrases), which is inappropriate for a dramatic Latin, especially Portuguese - the land of Fado - song. Trifles too much and loses the emotional tone/current among the changing phrases.
2nd bar there's wrong note being played, he plays A note insted of B note, and repeats the same mistake every time when reaching that part, strange.... On the other hand, he is a very good player with good technique and overall performance is good, strange how could he have missed that note. Might have not learnt it right.. else, that should be counted as his version/interpetation of the piece....
