Jacob Cordover plays Vals Venezolano No. 3 by Antonio Lauro on a 2008 Andrea Tacchi 

Antonio Lauro was a great musical teacher, and every venezuelan should be proud of him a his work

I can imagine the satisfaction of dominating this difficult piece and then finally enjoy it while playing it.

Myself as Venezuelan , I can tell you that Jacob has played this master piece plenty of authentic Venezuelan rhythm, musical cadence, simply Amazing !!!!

This one minute piece poses technical problems that most guitarists cannot solve. Very well done, congratulations to the performer!

Jacob, this reminds me of the sounds I heard during my studies with Segovia. This was played at the highest achievable expression for a classical guitarist. A Masterclass performance! Our Lord has Blessed you. So move on, the winds will guide you and all will be provided.

Gracias Jacob Cordover por esta bellísima, extraordinaria, maravillosa versión del vals Natalia.

How John Wick be playin the guitar 😂😂😂

Magnificent performance. No more words.

Así es como tiene que ser,..una suave brisa que pasa acariciando el pelo de Natalia, las cuerdas le dicen dulces palabras que la sonrrojan. Sorprendente la carga poética de esta excelsa melodía. Véritablement un chef-d'œuvre. .

Yeah dude. Just absolutely beautiful.

As a Venezuelan, one that invested a lot of time studying Lauro and his work, i can say this is one of the best versions I have heard, good speed, terrific nuances :D Thanks!

He got the 3 beat G in bar 28 with that stretch AND YOU DIDN’T EVEN SHOW US IT IN CLEAR VIEW. I’m so sad 😭 but this is amazing 🤩 very ✨ dramatique ✨

Listening to this quietly sitting in a sunny Windsor Great Park with beautiful vistas of English countryside and not a soul in sight. Cannot get much better than this 💕

This version really captures the rubato of the piece as it was intended to be played. Brilliant

A beautiful piece from Maestro Lauro exquisitely executed. Wonderful!

A man of focus, commitment, sheer will.

Bravo! Incredible technique and the music flows so smoothly. Thank you.

Obra musical muy delicada. Muy buena interpretación. Excelente sonido de la guitarra. Hermoso.

A giant guitarist... I was interested in the base melody and you did it in an excellent way....Million bravo.....Antonio Lauro is a giant composer and so you are a giant guitarist. Thanks for uploading.

Jacob Cordover is my favourite rendition of this waltz because it has emphasis on just the right places. It is superb and I know it is difficult to play because of its' speed and that there is great distace between one part and another. Antonio Laura imparts great joy, love and great passion composing this vals. Such pleasure and I never tire of Jacob's sureness and A. Lauro's abilities in describing emotion through music.

I always enjoy listening 👂 to you playing this wonderful piece 😊

Sounds great!! 👏👏👏

wow! how I hadn't heard that interpretation before ?! what a felling.. it's fantastic! thanks!

One of the best interpretations of this piece that I´ve heard. Congratullations

Beautiful phrasing and tone production. Masterly.

De ciudad Bolivar para el mundo

Wow - seriously brilliant! I've been working it for nearly 10 years. Lovely performance!

Me encanta la interpretación de ese bello vals venezolano, de nuestro recordado maestro Lauro.

Qué sentida y hermosa versión! BRAVO Jacob!

Just beautiful. Thankyou.

This piece is very beautiful, good nuances!!!

Definitely the best Lauros vals n 3 version I have heard .Bravissimo!!

Bravo! Bravo! So soft and so sweet melody. And the tweets of birds are subtly played

Listening under the mild but grey skies of Bagshot England. A lovely piece played very well.

Que impecable ejecución de Natalia, valse clásico del folclor venezolano y de cuya composición es de ese insigne musico y compositor venezolano Antonio Lauro.

Que increíble, con respeto a muchos venezolanos que tocan esta pieza de manera genial, y otros tantos al deredor en el mundo, esta pudiera ser la mejor versión de yutube, después claro, de la su creador. (el maestro Lauro) Aunque algunos pudieran alegar que esos pocos sonidos de los dedos en el traste, menoscaba su calidad, no es así, ya que lo que importa es el sentimiento que trasmite y fue tan emotiva que casi lloro. Saludos desde Caracas.

...thank you for this piece...! Excellently performed :)

I've never heard this piece played so beautifully before in all respects. Magnificent performance.

Wow...what a great player...hopefully no one thinks he woke up one morning and could play like that!

Beautiful piece and playing.

excellent melody....excellent performance.....!

Bravo. Simply, bravo.

beautiful.. Just wonderful

Que belleza de interpretación ! Bravo !🙌

Very nicely played indeed and nice tempo with clear inner voicing.

Excellent Maestro!!!!

Un’esecuzione davvero impressionante. Bravissimo

Good job. Many "classical guitar heroes" interpret this like a standard waltz not taking into account afro-syncopation whatsoever

Hermosamente tocado! Preciosa versión 👏👏👏

Inspirational performance 🎶🥂

Extraordinaria interpretación y ejecución, técnica impecable y brillante musicalidad. BRAVO MAESTRO.

Muito bom!!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo ❤️

brilliant performance, brilliant beard

Great version

Very nice.

EXCELENTOE, HERMANO, SALUDOS

Good effort!

I like Cordover’s way of playing. Definitely more contemporary and less dramatic than the old school players. Absolutely clean, fluent!

Wow!

Exclente!

Siempre escuché la versión de Eduardo Falú, y esta es una muy bonita versión... La saqué de oído de pibe, porque no tenía más que el disco que había comprado mi viejo... La partitura era algo de gente con plata... Me suena un poco rara esta versión, que quizás sea más fiel a la original... Me acostumbre a otro tempo y toque. Igual, gran guitarrista con muy lindas manos para el instrumento. Aplausos!
