I think Nocturnal is one of the masterpieces of contemporary music. Its penetrating expression of moods, commonly associated with the night time, is unsurpassed. Marcin: your feeling for this difficult piece is very evident and your technique is up to its stringent demands. You have let the music speak perfectly in you and through you.

Magnificent…Mr Dilla performing Mr Brittens music through Gabriele Lodis instrument. Three masters, dancing in the air…..

I am often bored by the performances of classical guitarists, but listening to this interpretation was for me a revelation. I think Britten would have been very proud of Marvin’s performance. It is technically impeccable and musically totally respectful of Brittens text. Beautiful sound going from delicacy to aggressiveness and showing a deep understanding of the piece. I still know some of it by heart, it is one of the masterpieces of the guitar repertoire. Bravissimo Marcin! This is an outstanding performance

An interpretation between reverie and pastorale which turns me inside out. Man, this is so great ...

The greatest piece ever written for guitar -

This had such a powerful emotional impact on me that I felt exhausted. There is a real display of genius here, both in the musical composition and in the virtuoso performance of Marcin Dylla.

One of the finest performances I've ever heard.

Having struggled to make "sense" of this piece in other performances, this one came across clearly in all its complexity and I suddenly "hear" what Britten must have had in mind. A tremendous performance and recording of an elusive masterpiece.

I don't think I've heard a classical piece (older or contemporary) that takes such full advantage of what the guitar can do! Stunning.

That guitar truly is a masterpiece

Brilliant use of the left hand to play bass notes during the tremolo (VII Gently Rocking) section at 9:10.

For reasons unbeknownst to me this is the epitome of what classical guitar is.

An incredible performance by Marcin. Love the sound from this maple guitar. Hope he continues to use it.

The guitar sounds beautiful.

Bravo, Marcin! A mysterious and profound interpretation.

Very impressive, the music, the guitar player and the instrument! Thank you millions...

Perfect performance of the greatest masterpiece written for guitar.

Marcin, I adore you! Great performance, technique and sensability. Thank you! Alexander.

Great player, wonderful music - Dowland is gorgeous... and last not least - great guitar by one of the best luthiers of our time. It is always a pleasure to play a Lodi guitar or even to listen!

Magnífico!! Hace mucho tiempo que no disfrutaba tanto de un guitarrista 😍

That's one of the most wonderful renditions I've ever heard in my life. Thank you, really.

Wonderful, Marcin. One of my favorite pieces, ever since I first heard Bream play it almost 40 years ago. Thank you for this.

I have no words......Left me speechless!

Marcin ! You are truly one of the very best interpeters of music on guitar ! You always get to the deepest profundity of the piece !!! It sounds like you composed it !

Fantastic اند amazing👌👌🎶🎶

this is by far the most touching interpretation of the Nocturnal I ever heard...simply perfect !

Wow! Simply amazing! The cleanliness and coloring of his playing is beyond virtuostic!

A new performer to me. I look forward to listening to his other postings.

Breathtakingly marvellous!

I just finished listening to several video performances by Marcin on a Woodbridge guitar. I heard Marcin on the Lodi in person several years ago. In recording or live, the Lodi to my mind outperforms the Woodbridge. I love the Lodi! And Marcin? I'm glad I had a chance to hear maybe the best guitarist of this new century and certainly in the same league as a Bream. Indeed a rare treat!

Astonishing, another flawless performance capturing the essence of the composer’s intentions, communicated perfectly.

Stunning.

How great...just beautiful...

A sprawling landscape of the psychology of beauty. Keats would be proud.

I'm flabbergasted on 17 levels..........thanks SO much. Haven't listened to the piece in 30 years......SO DAMN GOOD AND GUITARISTIC...........I gotta learn it.......

This is very special. Superb performance, totally captivating. And how good is the tone of that guitar? Magnificent!

amazing performance, what à sound!

Gracias por ésta maravilla, he soñado miles de veces con ésta obra y creo que llegué a tocarla con más o menos acierto, pero veinte años después aquí estás tú tocándola ¡y parece que me mimetizo!, jajaa, la desempolvaré, jaaa. Aunque sin más pretensión que la de disfrutarla, no creo que llegue a ese nivel que veo en ti. Una abrazo, un placer escuchar la buena música bien tocada. ;)

Dear and lovely Marcin😍❤ Miss you🌻🌻

Marcin Dylla is a person who fascinates with his charisma in music.

one of the best performances i have ever heard about this masterpiece.

* of this masterpiece. I agree -- it is amazing.

Che meraviglia, stupendo, coinvolgente, bravissimo Marcin Dylla

Interesting and beautiful. Refreshing that it is not stuck in the major / minor modes

Magnifique !!

Saludos desde Colombia, eres un Genio de la guitarra, para mí eres quien mejor interpreta capricho árabe.

Better than Bream's version. Incredible. Really captures the heart and spirit of this piece. With Britten's music his delicacy of expression always requires a great performance, which is what we have here.

Fantastico Marcin! 😍 😍 😍

Masterful!

Congratulations!

Bravo!

Dylla is at his best playing contemporary works for guitar .

Wonderful Tone !

I love the ending

Elegante raffinato grande artista

This is an incredibly difficult piece to play. imo it is also one of the few real masterpieces written for the guitar. Dylla has it completely under control with beautiful tone and phrasing.

I wish I can see you in may❤

WOW naprawdę pięknie widać że się wczuwa szkoda że ja tak nie umiem 😿😿😿

Unico, bravissimo

marvelous

All that chromaticism, then it finally finds peace in E major after 14 and a half minutes. What a beautiful moment.

Like a Boss

god damn theres so much to be said about this piece. what an adventure in technique and kafkaesque melodies! this is the first time ive heard of this one and it seems this is Brittens take on borderline atonality; so many diminished and nonharmonic passages. i enjoy the diminished and whole tone so i was transfixed by this piece till the very end, in which i was surprised as hell: 14:30 when it switched to a clear major tonality! a calm after the storm really. the only thing missing from this piece was bartok pizzicato! haha. perfect playing Marcin, bravo!

This was first performed [to my knowledge] by Julian Bream in the 1970's. The piece is a 'reverse' deconstruction of John Dowland's composition, Come Heavy Sleep which is fully quoted at the end [the tonal part]. Extraordinary piece, wonderful playing by Dylla.

Billy Stewart , It was first recorded by the Brazilian classical guitarist Eduardo Abreu ( the Abreu Brothers are Eduardo and Sérgio Abreu) in 1968. I think it's worth hear Eduardo' s interpretation to make some educative comparison. Unfortunately both of them stopped their musical activity very early ( around the end of 70s, ).

Mario Ribiero - according to this link, JB was the first to play it [1964]. I don't know with certainty but I thought it was written for Julian. www.scribd.com/document/273530326/BRITTEN-NOCTURNAL-FOR-GUITAR-pdf

Billy Stewart Yes, Billy, you are write. I made a mistake. Thanks for the right information!

the Krystian Zimerman of the guitar

Very strong, clear and silky sounding guitar. Is it a flamenco guitar or a classical guitar, or a kind of hybrid of the two guitar types? Magnificent performance ♥️.

To really understand what a pinnacle performance this is, I believe that it helps to be able to play the Nocturnal yourself.

Muy plano. Necesita más cantábile. Más expresión. Esta obra es extremadamente difícil de interpretar, más que de "tocar".

A state of the recording is unnatural.

I have been playing the guitar for many years, teaching the guitar. My opinion: this is not music, but a set of sounds. It may be something else, but this is not for the guitar. Such works have nothing to do with the guitar! And don't argue with me !!
