Legendary classical guitarist Mario Parodi (1917-1970) plays his own transcription of Liszt's "Liebestraum" No. 3, S. 541. From the LP "Mario Parodi plays the Classical Guitar". Produced in 1966.
He was a student later in his life of Palaiologos, one of the greatest teachers of classical guitar in the world. To sad that Palaiologos lived a great part of his later life in oblivion.
I keep coming back to this. One of the most incredible things I've ever listened to in every way. Such a shame that more people don't know about this ridiculously talented man.
you must come back to this! how could you not after having listened to it once, this is so beautiful and so unbelievably challening to play, im in shock right now at this beauty of this video, i didnt know this guy before but im absolutely going to get into his music
@@terrormilk384 im sure you can do it if you practice! I learnt it on piano a couple years back and it’s stilll one of my favourite things to play. I play guitar as well but this is an incredibly complex arrangement lol
The teasing rubato , the throaty Dolce tone of the melody line, the delicate affretando of the arpeggio accompaniment so well balanced is only the work of a master craftsman. "Legendary" stills falls short of the tribute due to this master.
Hacen ya 4 decadas desde los tiempos en que hice una copia a mano de este arreglo de Mario Parodi. Nunca llegue a tocar toda la pieza pero me sirvio mucho para desarrollar mi tecnica. Ahora que escucho la version de Mario, me dan ganas de volver a estudiar esta musica maravillosa. Realmente suena bien en la guitarra, algo que no siempre se consigue cuando se hacen transcripciones. Mario fue realmente un gran interprete. Gracias Gonzalo por publicar esta joya.
@@ayhamshaheed7740 easiest? There’s no such thing. That’s relative. to some piano is the easiest, or percussion, or wind instruments. Can’t assume guitar is the easiest because of affordability
@@RegionalRadioShackManager im just saying it based on personal experience and how quickly people generally seem to get to a very high level compared to the others
@@ayhamshaheed7740 to be high leveled on guitar is as hard or even harder than other instruments, specially on classical guitar. Actually, is relative, some people think the piano is harder, while some think it's the violin. It's impossible to say, but for sure the guitar is not the easiest one (personal experience as a guitarist)
I well remember listening to Segovia,Williams and Diaz and then hearing this wonderful player Mario Parodi..what a joy. I still have his records....love them
My Dad played his records all time along with Segovia, Williams and Bream, but Mario was always my favourite. He has such beautiful expression (apart from the intonation issues). He is why I play
I absolutely love this piece. The actual written music paired with the fantastic Mario Parodi makes for an amazing performance. One thing I find quite funny is how I will listen to this while playing MMOs.
First time hearing this exquisite guitarist! What a great loss to musical culture. Super sensitivity, tone, and touch. I am going to take this arrangement directly from RU-vid! Immense thanks for sharing this with us - we who seek such for such treasures!
cada día que pasa comprendo menos que fue lo que le pasó a la historia de la música. Se perdió el "buen gusto" y con ello buena parte de la "sensibilidad" que logra conmover. Parodi con dos notas me llegó al alma... en términos retóricos Parodi me persuadió por haber detectado con elocuencia el afecto presente en la obra.
La guitarra del profe Mejor no lo pudiste expresar. El arte y todo el mundo vive un periodo de crisis, y crisis también con su identidad y su "utilidad" hacia quien va dirigido. Confío en que se retome el buen cauce de éste, puesto qje ahora tenemos a los mejores guitarristas que pueden salir hasta por debajo de las piedras, pero gente como Parodi, Yepes o Bream, elevan el instrumento a su máxima expresión y consiguen cosas sublimes, conmovernos de una forma única. Para muestra esta gran pieza, que nunca creí posible en guitarra.
Coincido. Con lo q acaban de expresar La música, el arte en general es respuesta de lo q se vive. Pero en todo el movimiento artístico de los últimos 30/40 años ha generado modas o estructuras artísticas q “ mandaban desde los sectores q las imponían”. Es claro q el avance de la música “armónica “ es poco amiga del oído humano y con esto se ha perdido las interpretaciones de la época romántica, barroca etc. Algunos le dicen “ evolución”. No lo creo. Simple moda. De todas formas es bueno q la evolución de la tecnología nos permita recuperar piezas antológicas cómo está de Parodi, q para muchos, ni siquiera lo hubiesen tenido en cuenta. Gracias. 👏👏👏👏
I have the two Parodi LP's......I still love them and what a great player and arranger he was. We became so Segovia orientated, and for a good reason, but, we could not at times see the brilliance of others because of this ..Mario in particular. His daughter Silvia is a player. But to lose him so young is very sad.
The same Michajeru, this is the first time that I heard one of the classical piece that I love it since when I was a child, Mario Parodi was the better player guitarr. Sarita Vigna Buenos Aires, Argentina
I have always admired John Williams as the most expressive Classical guitar player post Segovia, but my father disagreed, citing Julian Bream and Paco de Lucia ahead of John, of course there is Paco de Pena, Manitas de Plata, when drifting to the Flamenco side, and where I started, with Mario Parodi, who for me encapsulates the expression of Nylon Strings.
I'm sure Brendan Acker can do this better than me...but this arrangement makes use of extensive masking. Notes you imagine are simply not played. Parodied was also taught. But by pianists with no interest in what was expected of a guitarist. Hence he also composed like a pianist. The softer tone is because he played without nails. If the full LP is available please upload it for us all.
I found on from free scores, not the Same though. Check guitar school iceland (Google it) they have a lot of classical and flamenco sheet music, all free. It's my resource for all my pieces.
