This is the best interpretation I have heard of this peice on guitar. These slower peices are often the most difficult to "make breath" if you will. My friend , you have certainly made it live.
yessssssssss. What a performance. You touched my heart so easily. As if this music was written for you to perform it. It was something magical. Plus, the guitar sound which is very important for a melodic music, was very harmony to this song. Not all the guitars can give this magical sound. The artist knew very well what kind of guitar to choose for playing this magical melody. Million bravo.
Wonderfully arranged and played. You not only realized the piece's inner qualities, you made it sound as though it really belong on the guitar, and NOT the piano. You really really listen deep - that is where the difference is, not in your fingers, good, however they may be.
What is it with this haunting, hypnotic music? I have loved this piece for over 40 years (!!), it sounds great on the classical guitar. Truly wonderful, thank you!
My only thought would be it was by mistake, its happened to me disliking a video i liked when listening on the phone and placing it in the pocket. I'm with you and think this is the most beautifully played version on guitar, no rational mind could rationally dislike it.
Beautiful tone and great phrasing! A good example for playing that piece in an interesting manner. Most versions one can find in youtube are just boring. Thanks for posting.
WOW just WOW. i am sure you are a professional but as an ordinary guy....WOW. sir. your music is extremely beautiful. its sooo moving with the emotion full of it. your music is sooo beautiful. i wish i could play like this.. thanks for sharing this video with beautiful music

I'm about to start learning this piece this week and your performance here is going to be my reference. Even though written before Satie, this makes me think of Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher". It's very melancholy and just a little bit twisted sounding.
This is really lovely. I love that the tempo is slow enough to be melancholic but fast enough to still have a mazurka-like quality... and the evenness of the "accompaniment" figures allows the melody to really sing. Is there a published version of this arrangement for purchase?
