Carlo Domeniconi: Koyunbaba (First recording 1985)
Музыка
Koyunbaba is the most famous guitar piece of the great Italian composer and classical guitarist Carlo Domeniconi (born in Cesena, Italy - February 20, 1947), the word comes from the name of a man who was a saint who lived in the city of Osmancık in Çorum Province, Turkey in the 15th century. Koyunbaba (whose epithet means "sheep father") was a shepherd in Bursa in northwestern Turkey, his descendants who still reside in the area.
Musically, apart from the amazing and translucent beauty, one could notice the Turkish influence, where the guitar tuning is original, in C# or E min:
E C# G# C# G# C#.
An important feature of his music is the constant search for new viewpoints and a continual exploration of the guitar. The music is tailor-made for the instrument, idiomatic.
"The time of the self-deprecating ‘classical’ guitar is over. It is time to see the guitar as it really is: a strong, sonorous instrument with a richness of colour that knows no equal." (Carlo Domeniconi)

I had the opportunity twice to hear him play Koyunbaba in live performances in Istanbul and even had a friendly talk. Carlo is not only a composer but a great mind... Long live maestro
RIP those who haven't found this song 🙏🏼😇

Like a spirit blow. Mille merci 😊R
Somehow this reminds me of Egberto Gismonti playing his pieces complete with imperfections, being very free with tempos, sounding improvisational, authentic, immediate. A special magic, and captured on a recording.
So lucky that I’ve listen to him playing Koyunbaba live in Ankara, Turkiye many years ago. Unforgettable!

Best solo guitar piece ever
Nothing like the mind and heart of a composer behind his own instrument or in front of his own orchestra …
It’s a shame this recording doesn’t get the exposure that others do. By far, it has more musical subtlety than any other performances of it.
The birth of a legenday piece of music.
This broke my brain. Have been listening to LiJui’s version my whole life and now I listen to this..keep expecting it to go in one direction and he skips my expectation and dances around with all this subtle complexity..oh they’re his phrasings I can tell that this is coming from the source. What an interesting guy. Got a headache now.

Damn it!!!! THIS is how this piece is played!!! Thank you
Easily one of the most beautiful pieces for solo guitar ever written
This has given me goosebumps! The best recording of this piece so far! It's very nice to listen to the composer playing his own composition.👍
This is a wonderful version, so much more tender, full of color and expression, nuance... best version I've heard. I guess if this is played by Domeniconi, then he knows what it is supposed to sound like..

Williams has wonderful tone, but Domeniconi's version, like you said, is just a totally different thing... Domeniconi's is different from all the other interpretations. Whatever Domeniconi was feeling when he wrote, then played this, is so felt in the playing, the nuance, colors, shades, the "distance." This version TAKES me some place. No other version does. Nobody else, to me, anyway, seems to get this, to hear this in Domeniconi's playing. They run right through it, and mostly, just play the notes. They don't play the "heart". And, Domeniconi's trills are insane...

JW’s version is beautiful and technically better but obviously Domeniconi had a better idea of what he wanted the piece to sound like. The JW version sounds like an impressionistic music but this one reminds me of my trips to Turkey and listening to their local instruments.

This statement makes no sense. There is a whole new generation of virtuosos out there, who plays a lot of different music and cares nothing about what the older generation played. On top of that, a lot of players have played this piece, not just Williams. Williams is mostly known for having made iconic recordings of Albeniz and Scarlatti and for making Augustine Barrios a household name among guitarist. This is the composer playing his own piece, that's not "following" Williams in any sense of the word.

@@Pladderkasse I'm not commenting on this specific recording, but the general trend of young, clueless guitarists playing it. While williams wasn't the only one that's played this piece, he certainly contributed a lot to its popularity. Of course the new generation of virtuosos don't play it, they are virtuosos with mature tastes. I'm talking about your average music school student being forced to play this (by conventional western music standards) dreadful piece because they or their teachers don't know any better.

@@Rodrigo-me6nq In my experience, nobody gets forced to play anything. That is antiquated pedagogy. Students are encouraged to find out, what they gravitate to musically, because it both makes the art of teaching easier, the student more motivated and is an early foundation for building a repertoire. If anyone is forced to playing something, then it's a case of a lousy teacher or a bad institution. The whole idea is like 30 years in the past.
