Wow!!! Magnificent!!! Thank You!!!💙💙💙💙💙

A grandeur and humility... maybe just awe of music and hard work pervades Hopkinson Smith.. as a very young man I meet him in Vicenza in San Felice e Fortunato..

Beautiful and flawless performance, thank you very much.🎶🎸❤️🌞🇬🇧

Gran versión de un gran maestro. Capta la esencia de la música española. La alegría en esta ocasion

No studio, no big mixer, pure sound!

he looks so happy and joyful when playing very good

Very talented yet very humble musician.

The baroque guitar is such a noble and dignified instrument

Bellisimooooo ❤❤👏👏😯 excelente interpretación!!

Mr Smith you are very talented baroque guitar player, My admiration and thanks for sharing.

This is the best interpretation amongst guitar and lute players I have ever heard! It is not too much technicality ,just music to dance. Thank you Maestro!

The best rendition of this Canarios I've ever heard. The Baroque guitar is so absorbing and lovely. Many thanks! 1

Amo! Obrigado Ytb por me reapresentar o maestro atuando nessa jóia.

Magnifica interpretación maestro!! un placer escuchar el hermoso sonido de Gaspar Sanz en su guitarra!!

That is an amazingly beautiful baroque guitar.

I met Hoppy many years ago. Great musician!

What a gorgeous instrument. A real piece of art. what appropriate skill to accompany it as well. My favourite song to whistle.

Felicitaciones!!, que maestria y virtuosismo!!

Es trasladarse imaginariamente a la época y ambiente en que fue escrita la obra y escuchar la verdadera guitarra barroca. Muy buena versión. Felicitaciones.

Even though the guitar is kind of more powerful (ad have more resources, strings) this vihuela transports us to a magic time where music was part of the human life in castles, streets, bars, and churches....Mr. Hopkinson Smith is the very best!

TRUE Maestro , BRAVISSIMO!

Superb. My favourite guitar piece. But you really made it sing, even on such a relatively quiet instrument. So good to hear such a piece on an instrument of the time, especially from such a maestro.

¡Bravísimo! Es la mejor interpretación que he escuchado en mi vida.

Technicalyl amazing. CLEAN as a Whistle!!!

Grandissimo Hopkinson Smith, strumentista e musicologo raffinato, brillante. Si rimane incantati, vera musica.

the later parts of his score are interpretations i haven't heard. Amazing! Thanks, Maestro🎶🎵

Even when techique begins to fail, such a great muscality!

I am new to baroque guitar music and I'm not familiar with this gentleman, but, I know a virtuoso performance when I see one. Bravo

So beautiful, and yet hard to whistle, thank you for this rendition of one of the most wonderful tunes in history, thank you so much....

I'm having a hard time figuring out why the modern Spanish guitar has completely over run these classical baroque guitars. They are wonderful and the sound is very enchanting, I'd like to see them used more frequently.

Mainly because of baroque's very low volume. Besides spanish guitar has much better sound qualities and wider range of notes. But I love baroque guitar too.

@veidorje1681

they are also difficult to manufacture and unfortunatly musicians into that particular music and in need of these specific instruments are no legion I don't even want to figure out how much money they would ask for a luth or barok guitar or any instrument being in use in middle age and renaissance considéring how expensive some of the basic classical spanish guitars can be several thousand dollars or euros for good quality concert size nylon string guitars it would make these old instrument very hard to afford

Makes for the low volume by using 10 strings (tuned in pairs?)

@tobiasstudtheol

@@zazaa124, a Baroque guitar has choirs but the highest string is a single not a choir. The low volume has nothing to do with the strings per se. Although the sound is more vibrant due to the usage of gut instead of nylon.

Technique is different and as said these are very quiet: lovely as a parlour instrument but too quiet for concert stage. Volume was the reason use of the nail and flesh rather than just flesh developed too in classical guitar playing.

Awesome! Beautiful!

brillliant ! no other word can describe this performance.he looks totally exhausted at the end. just gave his all what a master

Just beautiful what a maestro :)

As rich pure and satisfying as morning mist as the Sun rises.

Música maravillosa en manos exquisitas que tocan un instrumento con la respuesta exacta. Gracias

Magnifique!

Notre maître à tous ! 🤩🤩🤩

Absolutely wonderful, Hoppy.

Muito lindo, maestro, Deus te guarde!

Magnificent.

My most favourite song to whistle to.... thank you so much for sharing this wonderful bard's music with me. I love his work on this piece, and, i can whistle it very well too, always makes me feel so alive and whole, and it just makes me bust with happiness. thank you.

Greg, I myself also like whistling (voices of) classical pieces. But this one must be demanding because of the intertwined voices. E.g. for me it is hard to figure out the leading voice of this piece. But the feeling is the same!

Que maravilla desde Tenerife

¡Maestro!

J'ai rencontré Hopkinson Smith à Sedan. Il m'a serré la main quand je lui ai dit que je jouais de la guitare baroque. Je ne voulais plus la laver ensuite pour garder ses cellules sur celles de main!

sublime !

its so spanish-y and very renissance-y too! very old english-y!!

Wonderful!!

Magnifique....

So nice and cheerful - so contrasting to the grey day I am having LOL

Maravilloso 😀

Enchanting - exquisite - now go and listen to his performance of the Chaconne on the lute !

Bravíssimo!!!

Fantastic.

That was a big ukulele! :-) Well played. Interesting to hear.

Wonderful!

WOW Sheer brilliance ..

Years and years ago I used to think lute music and baroque guitar music was dated but my perception totally changed. If a piece of music gives people listening pleasure then its mission accomplished.

fantastic.

Pra mim, existem 03 violonistas no mundo as quais tiro meu chapéu, são elas: Thu Le - Ana Verdovic - Paola Hermosin - essa tríade me desculpe as muitas outras, mas essas são demais !

Agora entendo por que a última parte da belíssima Fantasía Para un Gentilhombre, do grande Joaquín Rodrigo, se chama Canario.

Anyone know the chord profession he did in the beginning ?

great

Beautiful instrument. So the baroque guitar is doubly stringed. Is it a descendant of the vihuela? The plucking technique is so different. I wonder what Caspar Sanz would have thought about Joaquin Rodrigo's adaption of his theme in the lovely Fantasia para un gentilhombre almost four centuries later.

Beautiful: i’d love an early guitar.Technique is more lute than modern guitar though

SUBLIME

Quanta bellezza.

The rose on his guitar looks like one on a lute, most of the ones I have seen are down in the sound hole and are made of stiff paper. Interesting.

Qué viejito se me ha puesto don Hopkins!

Un maitre !!!

¿¿Afinación italiana??

Would love to hear Scarlatti played on vihuela

oooooh, thank you
