He's playing Capricho on a guitar once owned by Tárrega himself! This piece has truly come home.

No matter how good I get at classical guitar and out of respect for Tárrega, I don’t feel I’m worthy of touching that guitar. If the people gave me the guitar to try, I’d politely refuse to touch it.

About every 2 years Pepe gave a concert in San Francisco. The auditorium venue was always sold out. Pepe knew the SF crowd was real guitar fanatics. He played pieces like this and others just to show his skill instead of the flashy better known pieces. Each time he would play this piece where each pluck of the string was soft and quiet. Then he would get louder and louder gradually. Only Pepe could do this. The crowds were stunned and gave standing ovation each time.

Segovia was like that too. I still recall attending one his concerts in 1965 in Cleveland (yes, THAT Cleveland). Only a few performers have legendary status.

Been playing this song for the better part of 15 years. I first learned it from a master class (on dvd). Listened to this interpretation and performance once, and it has completely changed the way I think of this song. The phrasing is glorious, what a master

An amazing collaboration between an amazing artist and a legendary instrument. So grateful to GSI for making this possible!

A classical guitar giant playing one of the most iconic musical pieces on the instrument once owned by Tarrega himself. Amazing!

This instantly brings back memories of a trip to Granada some years ago. We stopped for a drink at a small place somewhere in the city when suddenly a luthier test-played one of his guitars. He got carried away by the sound of his instrument very quickly and started noodling the spanish way for a while. I don't have any more intense memories of that journey and Mr. Romero brought them back effortlessly. Thanks a lot!

Que responsabilidad tocar esta hermosa pieza en una guitarra del maestro de Torres, que alguna vez perteneció al mismísimo Francisco Tárrega. Hermosamente tocado, con una calidez y claridad sin igual. Felicitaciones y gracias por la inolvidable interpretación. Un saludo desde Argentina!

Romantic and wonderful classical guitar music. Thank you very much, Francisco Tárrega Musician, Classical Guitarist Pepe Romero, Antonio De Torres Guitar and Guitar Salon International. 🌹💖🌹💖🌹💖🌹💖

Romero accentuates every note; his phrasing is excellent. It was like hearing Capricho Arabe played the way it should sound. He really is a grand master.

Man this is the best version so far. Initially I was sceptical about the pacing but it grew on me and tone of this guitar is phenomenal. The piece itself is other worldly

I can’t believe I grew up with this talented family in Del Mar, playing soccer together and watching the whole family perform every cinco de mayo! My junior high math teacher took me to see them at the Hollywood Bowl and made me realize how big they are. A true national treasure!

I love how gracefully he plays, such character and color. He really brings the melodies to life❤

Sentidísima interpretación del gran Pepe Romero, un redescubrimiento de un Tárrega apasionado.

This is one of my favorite versions I’ve heard. So many players rush it too much.

Ademas de la velocidad, es el sonido de los dedos en las cuerdas, cuando hace los ornamentos es belleza absoluta, es un sonido cremoso, sedoso que hacen las Yemas de sus dedos, no se escucha metalico como los demas guitarristas. yo creo que es el conjunto de la maravillosa guitarra y el propio Pepe que hace esta interpretacion tan hermosa, para mi es la mejor version que existe de capricho arabe.

I was just going to say that! So many people go a million miles an hour for some reason with it. It's so much more emotional slower.

My friend Aaron played this a lot in high school and it brings back good memories to listen to it now. Great recording!

It is a blessing to be able to watch and listen to grand master playing on the grand master’s work. Arrangement sounds very emotional and that was how he was feeling this moment. It is wonderful to hear not always same arrangements. It makes each moment in history unique and special.

I have never heard this piece played so beautifully 😢

Extraordinary music! When played like this (but who else can?), every single note tells not only its own story, but also the story of this piece as a whole. I feel now like I finally know what this music really says.

Je vous admire depuis longtemps… cette interprétation est magnifique. Merci du fond du cœur pour tous ces morceaux partagés🤩

The most beautiful piece of music played by a master. Every note shines through the phrasing is impeccable Excellent really Excellent !!

It was a unique performance of a giant artist. Thanks for uploading.

So grateful to have had Pepe as a teacher as someone always in my corner with a kind word. I miss flying to Del Mar to study with the Romeros.

How is he as a teacher ? Strict with the technique ? Fun to enjoy with ?

That was so stunning. What a sound, goosebumps..

Perfecta interpretación de una de esas joyas intemporales del repertorio español: Tárrega, Albéniz, Granados, Falla, Malats... No todos tocan bien aunque conozcan las piezas: hay que darles el tempo que requieren, el volumen, timbre y musicalidad de cada nota... Este es un maestro.

great performance PEPE and the wonderful sound of the TORRES guitar thanks

What a beautiful tone! Torres guitars are surely the Stradivarius of guitars. Pepe is probable the perfect player to demonstrate the exquisite sound of a Torres guitar.

That may be true but a guitarists tone is in his fingers.

@@diydad7704 exactly, a guitar requires much more tone from the fingers than the violin(although tone is still important its kinda necessary for a good violin for a nice and listenable interpretation)

I’ve heard it played many, many times but never has it sounded so emotional. Perfection.

Such a masterful performance by one of the greats! He really makes that aged instrument sing! I am so glad the strings used were included in the description-they have a wonderful tone-of course mainly due to the Maestro's skill and the instrument, as well!

Probably, best performing of capricio on YT

Que perfeição armoniosa! Valeuuu 😄

Asi debió sonar hace años! Esa era la sensación "imagino" que se quería lograr en esos tiempos. Bien hecho!

Qué gozada...cada nota. Qué maestría. Gracias.

His interpretation flows in a nice clean pace. Thank you

Lovely interpretation, with a natural pace, with no eccentric virtuosity. Thanks for sharing this jewel

perfección absoluta!!!

Amazing sound ! Thank you for sharing !

Fantástica interpretación, cargada de recuerdos de la infancia

Best rendition I've heard thus far - kudos!

Muy buena interpretación, indudablemente eres un Gran Consertista de la Guitarra...Muchas Felicitaciones y éxitos rotundos.

Loving Pepe, given me the inspiration to pick up classical guitar and learn a little

Beautiful articulation. Beautiful story.

Que beleza essa execução!!! BRAVÍSSSIMO!!!!

What a beautiful playing.

Magnifique interprétation pleine de variations de rythme très à propos. J'aime beaucoup cette retenue.

Just taught this to a student today❤

Gracias, hermosa Melodia! si asi fueran todos los caprichos, la vida seria mas bella.

Great interpretation. Thank you!

Every note you play is a pearl.

Amazing

Grandissimo, Maestro! Interpretazione raffinata, a una velocità moderata che mi piace.

Beautifully played, wonderful colours and tone and the tempo blows me away!

It is just perfect.

He is listening as he plays, nuancing every phrase.

I listened to three or four versions of this piece this morning by different musicians. Pepe takes the gold. Everybody knows how to play this lyrically… Pepe plays it musically. Brings tears to my eyes, which is the ultimate test. Everyone else was soothing-not bad, but not MUSICAL.

To be honest,l love Pepe's playing.Alot of feelings has been given to this music.

SENSATIONAL VERY BEAUTIFUL

Thank you for sharing this video ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🦋

Felicidades Maestro !!!

Great as Allways

Cuanta belleza!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bravo!!!👏👏👏

Bravissimo!

Thank you it is so great to hear a great guitar and not have to look at it behind glass in an over prices bar.

Sounds so intimate ! Never heard a version like this!

Awesome.

I know he’s regarded as one of the greatest players and wow this was good.

I'm practicing it now. I hope I can master this piece 🙏🏻

This is tuned to a432... For those who try to reproduce

Espectacular !

The Master! 👏👏

Bravo!!!❤

Her nota ayrı ayrı anlamlı şekilde icra edilmiş, bu yorum tarzı eserin ruhunu ön plana çıkarıyor, Pepe Romeo daha hızlı çalsaydı bile, yine bu özenli tarzını korurdu. Büyük bir usta. Saygılarımla…

Beautiful 👏👏👏

Incredible performance!

Bravo!

The best performance of capricho arabe that i have ever heard 👏 👏 👏 i think that's Exactly the same Tarrega wanted to perform on his mind.

His rubato choices are masterful

Perfect performans

bravo Maestro!

Maestro!

Segovia was never this good! I'm speechless at 70.

Tremendo don pepe como Todo UN dotado para la guitarra

Шикарно! Это музыка!

El Mejor... Pepe Romero.

Pepe is true the master for this piece Many great guitarist just played it too fast and can’t catch the every notes and melody

I would love to spend just five minutes with this guitar 🙂. Soo original...

С раннего детства слышала не раз эту вещь, старший брат был гитарист, играл и дома. Такая чудная музыка и детям понятна, не только взрослым

Pepe je prva liga🍀🍀🍀

( . . . listening to him . . . )

Absolutely delightful. One of my favorites!

Bravo

very good

Ich liebe Pepe Romero und seine Musik berührt mich nach wie vor. Ein Held meiner Jugend! Als Arzt, der die Helden seiner Jugend auf KZread hört aber auch auch selber in den Spiegel schaut: wie vergänglich wir sind! Ich verneige mich vor der Kunst diese Maestro.
