CARLES TREPAT - Teatro Colón A Coruña 2014 

These are the days we never forget.

Your words are also music that Life played to your family.

Such a peaceful and lovely childhood you had; filled with beautiful memories. I am happy for you. Thank you for sharing.

😊 Your memory with your parents is like poetry with music. 😊

Maestría con dulzura.. Que banquete!!!! Mil graacias y bendiciones, desde Venezuela.

1892 Torres with traditional gut strings...original beauty.

I totally agree and I love the way he holds the guitar when he first appears on stage. He is holding it as to say that it is thanks to the guitar that he can express his true emotions and music. Thank you!

It's so strange to hear ancient melodies in modern times. You can feel how silent the space around them was, for melodies so intricate and intimate to emerge from their souls.

El Mariachie I totally agree with you. He doesn’t get in the way of the music. Cheers

El Mariachie music has become something of a race, if you can play fast, your good and the faster you can play the better you are. But this is certainly not the case, Keeping his ego out of his performance creating something nothing less the phenomenal. An Incredible performance.

Le professeur I agree, many guitar concerts are more like an Oplympic event, it’s music, god bless it.

I am studying flamenco guitar and my teacher has me learning some classical pieces. Your explanation of Trepat’s playing is a perfect 👍 and it is what I “aspire to” in my practice and mind set

This is the highest compliment I've ever seen, and one I agree with. I am truly awestruck and I'm only 20 min in. Imagine if it were a true equal temperament guitar.

Un comentario brillante por tu parte Isabel, una excelente y profunda asociación que refleja gran profundidad de reflexión, me ha encantado.

Si, Debe ser por las cuerdas de tripa, no de nylon.

@DanielAngelAnido no es por la tripa es por la guitarra, la tripa es muchísimo mas aguda que el nylon(los graves de seda están mucho mas muertos que los modernos de nylon). Los instrumentos históricos tienen un sonido mucho más redondo (resonancias bajas, espesores muy finos, construcción muy ligera...) nada que ver con los instrumentos actuales (hoy en día se hace mucha replica de guitarra histórica que se parece lo que huevo a una castana)

Tranquilízate. Tu valoración de Trepat es en todo subjetiva y aquí estás sin que nadie te llame imbécil, ciego o sordo por eso. Acepta y respeta los gustos ajenos como se hace con los tuyos.

Indescribably intimate!

@Dan Ghofrani I can only comment as regards the technique I was taught. I don't pretend it's the 'right' way to play classical guitar because I personally believe that different styles, as long as they allow you to progress and play more difficult work as you build your repertoire. happen naturally, and are absolutely acceptable. My last teacher, Gabrielle Kish, was not of the same mind. She. insisted, for example, that the left hand must be elevated more than Trepat does, in order that the left hand fingers are coming straight down on the strings, not at an angle. She insisted that this was the best technique, allowing you to play more difficult pieces as your technique 'solidified'. It felt awkward at first, but, once it became second nature, it did actually mean very precise and clean connection with the strings, with just the very tips of the fingers making contact wherever you played on the neck. The result was as she said - I could play my existing repertoire much more cleanly and progressed to much more difficult music, like Albeniz' Leyenda, which I could not manage well before. With bar chords, the first finger was rolled/placed so that the front of the finger made contact, right behind the fret. Trepat plays with the back or the flat of the first finger making connection at the fret. If I remember right, he sometimes uses two fingers at times to make the bar across the neck, for added strength. Kish would never have tolerated that. As I said, I can see that Trepat's technique works perfectly well.It makes for fine performances, obviously. I love the way he plays. Apologies for the length of this response. It is hard to be brief about the fine details of differing techniques.

@Dan Ghofrani I concur with everything you say about technique. Too rigid control of technique - by any master teacher, including Segovia - can potentially hold a student back. Done right, with patience, it can help the student through the most difficult of works. But yes, finally, there comes a time when, having made effective technique integral to the way one plays, a student can transcend technique and find their own artistry and manner of playing. Then comes the magic you describe - of playing, relaxed and fluid, discovering new ways to meet difficulties and bring more out of the instrument. I think it's also beautifully visceral, when you are in those moments, your brain and body working so well together that you're not even conscious of it. When you find yourself doing wonderful things, spontaneously, with a new kind of grace you never so much as imagined before. And lastly, I will have to listen to/watch Tavi Jinariu. That's a new name to me. Thank you.

hey you got nothing to lose, just say what you feel we all make fools of ourselves and we don't die from it

Коротко и справедливо! 👍🤝❤

Es un caballero andante De la guitarra, es un honesto y sencillo y grandioso guitarrista.

So well said, he, his guitar, the composers, the music, all sharing with us as one.
