Marcin Dylla in Concert - Festival Sor 2021 

As a classical guitar student, it always amazes me how perfectly he plays. Such expression and such a nimble and yet relaxed left hand.

Is it a Daryl Perry?

The luthier is Gabriele Lodi.

I think it is a guitar made by Gabriele Lodi, Italy. Torres copy.

Torres

Lávate las orejas, pues no tiene nada que ver.

Lavatelas tú, no lo mencioné para darte gusto o a los demás.

@@garyto75 No te ofendas. Es una expresión que indica que ambas fantasías son muy diferentes. Una basada en la ópera de Mozart, y otra con el dramatismo de una Elegía.

No body alive has heard Sor live.. How do you know it wasn't Sor??? And in what sense was it not a good performance... You need to listen... This performance was beautiful... It's a pity that you don't see it..

There are numerous contemporary sources and methods on the guitar and its technique in the 19th century, including a full book written by Sor. Based on what the players of the period and Sor have written, including very specific details and an entirely different technique and hand position, it can be said with absolute certainty that this is not a stylistically or technically sound/correct performance. A statement meant in a laconic manner. For me in the end, in most cases hearing modern guitarists play classical/romantic repertoire on modern instruments with modern technique and long nails comes off very drab. Especially in a sublime lyrical work like this where there is little flash, and technical fireworks. This performance of Dylla's is a snore. To call it bland would be an understatement. The pity is people thinking art is entirely subjective and if it moves them that is enough. No - there are specifics - especially in historical performance, and they matter and have an effect. When one learns these idiosyncrasies and historical techniques, it naturally informs the style and performance, and then this music really comes to life!

@@zuohagel1796 OK. So have you played this piece without finger nails? Or do you know people who have? If so, you should post it somewhere. From what I hear on this performance, his tone, dynamics, expression, and technique are impeccable

Con el permiso de Thu Le...

A snore! An entirely boring performance of this incredible and dramatic work.
