I've heard quite a large number of lutenists and classical guitarists since I began playing in 1964, and somehow I have only now stumbled upon Diaz-Latorre. He is absolutely wonderful, and master of not only that instrument but also the music. Finding both is extraordinarily rare, and I am really overwhelmed by his playing.

​@@sfgylk34u_57this is a baroque instrument.

As a guitarist, I'm hearing all the elements it took years of practice to master and present so perfectly. Outstanding performance!

i do not know how many times i have listened this lovely piece, but it is an endless bliss....thanx Xavier!

10 years after...still SOoo delightfully played. Thank you so much.♥

That is the best version and interpretation of this song I have heard. Completely refreshing, totally insightful that the convention may not have been the previous norm, there is so much more humour and intimacy to this one. It is like the piece has been brought to life. I really love it. Absolutely well done

Absolutely - humor and intimacy, and a joy that is lacking in so many renditions.

I rarely go to guitar music .I'm an orchestrator ,trained pianist and violinist but the deVisee was enchanting and Diaz-Latorre infectious musicality is unforgettable .

I first found this video when it was relatively new and I still love it so much over a decade later.

NO puedo dejar de oirla, la pongo cuando puedo, distraido la sigo oyendo y al levantarme esta alli sonando!!!! Cuanta alegria me ha dado estos dias!!!! Muchas gracias Xavier

This performance is such a treasure. I'm so glad I stumbled across it!

Tantas gracias a Dios por su talento y a usted por la generosidad de compartirlo,

I couldn't agree with you more. This is where they all come out - all the bottled up emotions of a man. I do think that many women do indeed appreciate a man's feelings through his music though, as I've often seen it speak to them.

All the angels in Heaven were all around you when with you recorded this, Xavier! I can't tell you how many times I listen to it! - When you get into that blossoming, beautiful swinging section, it is as though the music itself is embracing us through your love and spirit!

I would like to play the lute too, but I am only lucky enough to own a piano, so I just arrange and perform my favorite lute pieces on the piano, and I use the sustain pedal as much as I like... So far, I have not been scolded by the disembodied spirits of any of my favorite composers, not have I been scorned by any fellow musicians, neither lutenist not pianist... I'm sure the ghost of Sylvius Leopold Weiß has better thing to do than worry about what I do with my hammerklavier... Perhaps, were I to be honored with such a haunting, the phantom Maestro might be honored and pleased that intangible qualities of his compositions (the prescribed relations between the notes themselves) have the potential of outliving the physical instrument for which they were first conceived?

one the most unique interpretations and songs of all time ... I would love if mestre Xavier could transcript this for 6 string guitar. as some as i do not posses theorical musical knowledge ... at least i can then make a tablature... como soy "primitivo"

Great playing! I really like this piece and your sound.

Thank you--Beyond words

@MrTHocker hi, about the tunning, it's called meantone, which means that the scale is not spaced equal in 12 but in 17. So a c sharp and a d flat is not the same. The first is lower than the second. Therefore we need a special spacing of the frets for each key. My typ, if you buy an instrument, is that you should buy a good one! Since you are musician, you wouldn't stand a regular one. About the amount of instruments, you don't want to see my wardrobe....regards

Lovely Chaconne and lovely playing. Are the bass strings tuned openly? I noticed them being plucked unfretted accompanying your fretted notes in the higher register. I would love to play lute. There are so many different types. I could not afford one neither could I afford to pay for the basic instruction. I can manage about 4 pages of Bach's famous Chaconne in Dmin on classical guitar, and some Silvius Leopold Weiss. I was self taught for that task, combining my ear-ability with a basic understanding of guitar notation having bought a teach yourself book to start me off. Before then I was playing entirely by ear covers of people I like such as Hendrix, the Who etc. I'm venturing now into jazz standards in chord/melody style. Thanks for sharing your playing of these wonderful instruments and the great compositions!
