Not sure if you guys gives a damn but if you're stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all of the new movies on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend for the last few weeks =)
La musique de Barrios m'émeut particulièrement et surtout quand elle est jouée par un guitariste aussi talentueux qu' Emmanuel Rossfelder !C'est magnifique !
The holes are there to provide the guitarist with a better way to monitor the sound that they are producing. They can also adjust the entire sound of the guitar. This guitar is an exception in that it has two soundholes on the upper and lower bouts. Typically, it will have just one, however luthiers are experimenting more and more with guitar design. The guitar is constantly evolving which is great.
They could be 'Players Nails' (fake) or the equivalent. And it's hard to tell the difference in sound since they have the same properties of natural nails but can sound sometimes better than one's natural nails. They're very handy and good to have around when you break your own.
@Dalmenco every individual has different hands, hence, different finger nail lengths. some have a really good tone with short nails, some have good tone with longer nails. If there was a formula for a perfect tone, guitar would be boring.
Yes his nails are way too long. You can hear the noise sometimes when his nails touch the strings before the flesh does. But beside that, he's a great guitarist with perfect tremelo!
Bravo y mil veces bravo, Emmanuel Rossfelder, para mi concepto: el mejor guitarrista clásico del mundo y posiblemente el mejor de todos los tiempos, muy atrás quedaron: Andrés Segovia (que nunca quiso interpretar piezas de Barrios Mangoré por simple egoismo), John William, Alirio Díaz, Luis Quintero, entre otros grandes. Es mi modesta opinión, solo basta con oir: Asturias de Isaac Albeniz y compararlos.
He is playing a guitar made by the famous American luthier Kenny Hill. The holes are sound ports that help provide better sound projection and also enable the player to better hear what he is playing. I am fairly sure that he is using artificial nails.
I will be smashed for this, but I like Filomena Moretti's version better. Besides her version being more romantic, it is also more beautiful. Rossfelder is a great guitarist nonetheless. I think that this peice isn't what he does best at, just as Henryk Szering was a great violinist, but didn't do so well with Tchaikovsky's violin concerto. I really like how Rossfelder plays 'Carnival of Venice' by Tarrega, though, especially were he does the snare drums on the strings!
