Biréli in magical form here - forget about it. I wonder what it's like be able to think so fast and intuitively - have such an overdose of timing and technique to let you pull it off relaxed, in that googolplex of a second with time to spare. You either got that monster timing or you aint - Biréli always had it even as a kid - and here he's really on the ball - it's a joy to listen to.
I was lucky to see Bireli when he was only 16. ( about 1982 ) He came to the Uk with his Trio and played at the Waterworks Jazz Club in Birmingham . Astonishing even then, and my fond illusion & notions that I could play the guitar were given a strong message to start practicing.
Ah mais purée, foutrediantre de bordel de Zeus, ce qu'il envoie ! Beauté véritable à 5:36, si c'était pas déjà le cas avant. Référence plus plus, et le sourire de satisfaction qui vient avec. Génie.
Astute observation, I agree the descending arpeggio to the trill on 3-2 and falling to 1 was Bach like. Passages I hear that are very reminiscent of Bach are 3:14 - 3:20 and 5:33 - 5:45. So brilliant.
Technical and tonal without any doubts world class! Im impressed. Hats off. Not to offend you but for my taste in the improvisation part it has way too much movement, too much action. I'd like it more with more room for some calm between the scales and lines. Because the basic mood of this piece is melancholic. No reason to show off how fast or how many notes per second your able to play.
Biréli Lagrène est incontestablement le seul dans ce style capable d'allier virtuosité (souvent gratuite dans la guitare manouche, à l'inverse de Django) et musicalité (souvent absente dans la guitare manouche, là aussi à l'inverse de Django). En bref, Biréli Lagrène, comme Django, fait de la musique, pas du manouche...
ci sono chitarristi umani e chitarristi non umani ,Birèli appartiene alla seconda categoria.....cioè quelli che suonano ciò che è umanamente impossibile....
