Thanks for sharing! This is another great example of why youtube is such a wnderful tool when it's used as it should be.

Two of the world's greatest classical guitarists who have become even greater as they aged.

Two great performers who really understand the importance of tone and voice-punchy bass notes and very sweet chords. I'm especially impressed with the dolce tones in the minor sections/variations of the Sor. They sound great together!

The two greatest guitarists as of this date. (Although this poor recording may lead one to believe otherwise)

The music and playing are stunningly beautiful and awesome. Thank you-John

Impresionante interpretación de estos dos monstruos de la guitarra clásica. Precioso...

Wonderful! If only a high-resolution video with good sound had been made...

Como aguantó la estructura con el peso de estos dos grandes de la música?!?!?!?! Millón de gracias a quien subió este video, me gustaría que dijese donde fue el concierto! Gracias de nuevo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rare indeed! Absolutely loved this. Thank you!

How nice is to go traveling around youtube and find something to draw a smile on your face.

What a wonderful video, thanks so much for sharing!

I was really excited to watch and listen to this video, when I found it first time in youtube, and.... was somewhat disappointed. I expected much more from this great pair of musicians. They don't succeed as a duet. The best duet that I ever heard is that of Williams and Bream. In second place I would place the Pomponio-Zarate duet and third Presti-Lagoya.

Actually I'd put Presti and Lagoya first.

Más que conocer y sentir saber todo de música, la apreciación es indespensable y estos 2 son excelentes guitarristas y con una muy buena interpretación de este genial concierto, no nos hace expertos criticar severamente, apreciar nos hace humanos. more than feel we know all about music, we need to apreciate this, and both guitarist are the perfect musicians and this is a beatiful concert, we aren´t experts just for criticized, apreciate make us certanly humans.

Innegable la genialidad de cada músico, pero siendo honestos, no lucieron tanto como se esperaría. Sólo tocaron, nada más. No es la clase de interpretación que te deja extasiado, con la boca abierta. Aquí no sucede. Escucha con calma la pareja Williams/Bream y notarás la diferencia.

A Barrueco & Russell duet recording would be the greatest thing ever.

Wonderful!

wow! i only had heard b&w do the sor duet, this is great!!!

Beautiful

thanks for sharing !

L'Encouragement, Op 34, by Fernando Sor (1778-1839)

Excellent!

Esto es otro nivel!!!

Omg! This video must become human's heritage!!

AS USUAL FOR DAVID RUSSELL PERFECT

Wow, so good. So good.

Amazing concert

Barrueco and Russell duet. Williams and Bream duet. Can you imagine them interchanged? 2 nice guys and 2 showmen. Like kinds stick together, naturally.

beautiful!

Derroche de maestría. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

can't believe this was back in 1988

Mucho sanamente! іВravo!Recuerdo Ida Presti-Alejandro Lagoya!!!

thanks for sharing

Los mejores, sin duda, sin olvidar a los hermanos Assad ni a Julian Bream con John Williams.

Is Barrueco the first guitar, and Russell the second one?

Marvellous!! where was this filmed?

I saw Barrueco play in a trio w/ the ASSAD DUO near Poukeepsie, NY. It ruled.

in the end the guitar, and i'm guitarist, is wonderful instrument with a richness of tones that other instruments don't have, but i agree the repertoire lacks many pages yet. so dear composers o today write for the guitar, and exploit its qualities and rembermber to write something that guitarists can hrdly play to improve be our beethovens :))

You're right about the proliferation of minor guitar music today, but the lack of universal musical references of guitarists is the real guilty, if we approach to the universal great music of all time, we will find Sor as interesting and competent as Schubert, and even as Beethoven, and if we make a severe analysis, we will find than the most of the nineteenth century composers do not leave the same forms and harmonic progressions, Sor's is the only exception to the rule.

Agree that too much minor "new" music--which few audiences favor--is being played, but Mozart never commited the composer's cardinal sin of being deadly boring, and much of Sor's work (this duo notwithstanding) is just that. I would love to see more of the great romantic Italian guitar composers' work, plus much of the fine neglected work of Mertz and the Russians, being performed.

Qué pena el audio, podría haber sido limpiado y remasterizado... Merecería la pena, desde luego.

Okay 🎸👏👍

Great great great

Virtuoso!!!

That music was made for important social events, where people danced. Why so martial? Why don't you major in music, and then comment.

Sor?!....Russel?! Oo this is absolutely rare my friend

Great concert, when is it recorded?

Little sloopy :(probably last min rehearsal.

Was this concert filmed in Finland about 1988/89?

think it was a concert by opportunity as part of a workshop or so. Straight forward pieces, which dont need too much training.

Could anybody tell me which pieces they are playing? Thanks a lot!

Enrico Schirras encouragement by Sor

Imagine the quartet of Barrueco, Russell and the Assad brothers!

Does anone know what they are playing?

don't know if it's good or bad but my kid wouldn't fall asleep till they herd this .I love it though

It is like the duo Bream-Williams...

Russell playing Sor. THAT is rare.

In a way, you are right on the money. The classics must live on in light of the growing modern "trend". We need substance and musicality, not flash and an elitist attitude that many modernists display. Brouwer has many terrific pieces though, more than a few, and I don't think it's fair to highlight him as the offender here!

L'Encouragement - Fernando Sor

Ok so the sound quality really sucks - but sorry, their playing is off beat and uninspired.

Can't believe you don't like Sor "L' encourament".

Excellent performance, at the height of the music played, Sor should be recognized as the "Mozart" of the guitar, please my dear colleagues, play Sor, become real musicians, no more Brouwer.

One more week could probably help much.

Much more important, colors sounds.

it's the quality of the video/sound mics...... that makes this sound/tone bad.

2 Pro Guitarist !!

他のギタリストと比べる（優劣をつける）のはあんまり好きじゃないけど、ブリーム・ウィリアムズの演奏の方がずっと歌っていて滑らかかつノリが良いと思います。

And i checked your duo.I don´t know if you are the hairy or the bald guy. It´s a very good recording and you play it very well.I liked your sound very much.Sor is though very easy to play.I played Sor when I was 8 years old.If you have any video where you play Bach, Barrios or Rodruigo, I would like to listen to it.

hOly shit

A sonata by Paganini original for violin and guitar.... i can´t understand why the chosen music and why performe it in such a static and lifeless way...

I know these guitarist Barrueco and Russell ,are most excellent guitarists in this century but even though such two guitarists joined performing together, I can't help but say this performance is not good.

They are not the same level with John and Julian you mean?

I bet they put up this concert in a couple of weeks and yet you get upset about it. People are a weird race.

what are the last two pieces?

Manuel's performance is a little sub-standard here. Maybe he didn't know the music that well.

Please were is the interpretation of The bethoven of the guitar?. Fernando Sor. Terrible performing.

The video and its sound are third rate. No organization had a pro caliber camera and recording gear to capture this?

I agree, Bream and Willams had that chemistry, temperaments who were quite the opposite but ceated a symphony of voices, but the most important thing: it didn't sound that mechanic as this recording.

Is that an argument when it comes to taste? Furthermore: what is old school? Making music is about communicating, playing the inside out.

La calidad de Bream y Williams es intemporal. El tiempo tiene poco que ver. Barrueco y Roussell son maravillosos, pero Bream y Williams son muy altos.

It is obvious that they don't have the match Bream and Williams have. They play like 2 soloists who don't strive to communicate and it feels like an isolated thing, 2 players on an island. Don't get me wrong, Russel is a poet and I admire Barrueco's Albeniz, but this....no way.

Are both of them great guitarists? Yes of course they are famous guitarists in the world now.But I can't feel this music is such as wonderful and musically.Even they were young in this video. their music is so aggressive.

What??? David is very much alive!!!

Agree about Sor's technical competence but strongly disagree about the "interesting" part. Mozart and Beethoven's works are nearly always compelling for one reason or another; most of Sor's work is lifeless and boring. Since a small percentage of his work is fascinating, I can only conclude that his choices were poor--perhaps he was a boring guy! In the end, audiences demand more than "competence," and neglected Romantic-era guitar composers can provide it.

Both are excellent musicians, but together they miss the point here. Every anacrusis is so strongly accentuated which makes the music agressive. Tempo's are much too fast, no romantism at all ... sorry, thumbs down.

That´s exactly what i mean...nobody knows about you and everyone can upload videos at youtube. -this emphasizing that you write about sounds that way because of the recording. The phrases are exactly how they should be and phrasing is more important. I am a professional classic guitar teacher. I dont know what you are but i dont think that you have given more concerts than Russel and Barrueco. Technically they are almost perfect, especially Russel. Sor isn´t that difficult to play.

Great players wasting their skill on goofy 19th century music.
