Xavier Jara performs Les Barricades Mystérieuses by François Couperin 

What a beautiful rendition. The sound of that Spruce is glorious.

This tempo is much more mysterious than the 1960s breakneck speed recordings!

How beautifully those mysterious barricades flutter in this interpretation.

This is a most lovable, masterful and stunningly beautiful performance by Xavier of Les Barricades Mystérieuses"!!! Bravo Xavier! You are a true maestro! Perfect tempo, not too fast and excellent technically played, but also highly romantical and sensitive! Goes straight to your heart and soul. A true gem!

Delightful - I love the way he lets the melody breathe, rather than turning it into something like a Minute Waltz as some do.

Nice tempo also. No need to speed through these amazing chord changes. Bravo.

Let's be honest... We all just want someone who looks at us, the way this guy looks at his guitar!

there is a fusion here between music-performer-instrument!

This sounds absolutely mesmerizing. Enrico Bottelli is the greatest living luthier in the world !!!

One of the best performances of this piece on a stringed instrument. Beautiful!! 🌴☀️🌴

Best performance of this piece on the Internet. Listen to it every day.

Couperin è sempre una meravigliosa scoperta!❤️

Fantastic! Perfect tempo! So sensitive!

Incredible playing!!!

A beautiful piece, perfectly performed!

Beautiful tempo!! ❤ Better than the original IMO.

A wonderful offering.

Gorgeous phrasing!!!

I found this one on the album,it becomes more touching than played on the clavichord when I first heard this arrangement.

Beautiful.

Magical. Bravo.

Stunningly beautiful performance.

Magnifique

Playing like him must feel like paradise. Hope to reach this virtuosity one day

Гитаристу - браво! Какая же чудесная музыка!!!

Bravo!

This music can cure the plague ❤️.

Excellente interprétation!

Talentazo!

Beautiful! I love how you pluck at different points on the strings for tone changes to differentiate the various sections of the piece!

It seems piano! Amazing!

A master.

GREAT 👍🏻😊

Спасибо! Сыгранно просто безупречно, слушать приятно....

❤️

Finally someone who can play this piece and do it justice.

Another Jara masterfully playing guitar after Victor Jara. Touching, considering Victor's life and sad end.

Nice .. slower than the usual performances .. .. (Wish I learned it in this key of G vs D.)

The phrasing reminds me a bit of Scott Ross. Which is wonderfull

Do you have the sheet music for this really beautiful arrangement? I love this so much.

It's likely tempos in the past were not as fast as thought.

Hay quien toca esta pieza demasiado rápido, arruinando el delicado misterio que tiene. Aquí está muy bien y consigue transmitir el encanto de esta pieza.

Hello ! What is the name of this guitar support?

Well hold my guitar and call it a cello!

tabs

Les transpositions pour instruments à cordes pincées tels que guitare et théorbe par exemple, font mieux ressortie la douceur mélancolique, la calme beauté sereine de cette pièce, surtout avec ce présent tempo. Mieux à mon avis que ne le fait un piano ou même - le comble - un clavecin (pardonnez-moi mon cher Couperin, car cela n'altère ni ne réduit votre génie), surtout quand on en fait un concours de virtuosité.

Ce n'est pas de François Couperin.

dont hold it like a cello haha

Bravo!
