The guitar: I didn't even know I could do that.
Right...that guitar is in shock...like "im traveling the universe in this guys hands"..lol
That is very funny. Yes you are right!
This is probably THE most amazing classical guitar performance I've ever seen. Can't imagine what it must have been like to see it live.
Buen instrumento. Con proyeccion. Y un excelente i nterprete.
Lo escuche al viejo cadtillo por. Segovia excelente es otra interpretacion. Como.mantiene la. Sexta en re. Constante sin comparar. Suenan disti ntos. Muy buenos los dos. Guitarristas.
Excelente. Guitarrista y. Muy buen instrumento sonoro
of course I know him very well.
At that time Andrés Segovia was also so amasied his performace too.
Andrés Segovia was an one of very famouse guitarlist of the world , you know. Of course he was Spanish.
And I heard his performance when he was 89 years old while he was visiting in Japan. That was the last visit of Japan.
So, it means I also was the very rare person who knows his (Segovia) performance on my own ears.
This is the upper limit of classical guitar playing for human.
Who do you call human here? This is godly rendition.
I agree~! He arranged just 18 yrs!
The history of the guitar is divided into two periods. Before 1984 and after 1984. After the Toronto recital the guitar is different in the world. The genius Kazuhito Yamashita !!
How true. But it is also true that nobody else has ever reached this height since 1984.
Totally agree! was a before and after, the guitar was transformed and showed an orchestral sound dimension, unthinkable not only for that time but for our days. All that came about thanks to the genius of the master yamashita
AMEN!
Actually, it was 1980 when he premiered this song in Chiba, Japan. The LP record was released in 1981.
paco de lucia.
paco and yamashita are from other galaxies even so nice of them to come and visit us!@@KMT9999
Dude shreds the classical guitar rule book for posture by flinging his body all over the place, flying left elbow, overextending both the right and left hands, hunching his shoulders, etc. and produces one of the most amazing performances ever. So much for rule books!
Only slaves follow rules.
And tuning in between all those!
@@manariwawithout skipping a beat
rules are for sheeps
Are you that amazed at the fact that most prestigious musicians throw the rules out the window? Because its pretty common
This is, by far, the most amazing guitar performance ever. I'm not hormone-struck 16 year-old, nor even a "fan" of Mr Yamashita. I hardly have any of his recordings. I usually listen to other classical guitarists - still, he attempted here something that is simply impossible, and I don't know if this achievement can be ever re-produced. Nothing is lost. Nothing is diminished. Nothing is simplified. This piano piece was so rich and polyphonic - that it was translated to ORCHESTRA and there was "enough content" for all sections of the orchestra. What. On Guitar???? That's simply impossible.
I see. I hear. I stand in awe, I enjoy the music I love so much. and I keep muttering "Impossible"
You should check out Lenny Breau. He was on this level but as an improviser.
it doesn't sound like a guitar, it sounds like a full orchestra... and choir!
Bravo..that's when you know you are witnessing a major achievement.
This is incredible, i am totally amazed. There is SO much going on here. I can't believe i found this only in 2024, but that's why i love internet and youtube.
What a genius, thank you !
Yeah, mate. Me too. This is something else.
A man possessed. His complete immersion into the music and the guitar itself is incredible. His technique is phenomenal, especially his right hand. Not many can extract this much sound from a classical guitar.
I would say "no one else" rather than not many :)
I’ve never seen a tremolo like it
Can’t believe just now through CZcams have we heard of Kazuhito. I guess if you weren’t around in the 70s or 80s you missed him. Why did we learn of others but not this guy? Amazing virtuoso!
I remember clearly when this came out. Every so called concert guitarist or critic said it had to be fake, done in a studio couldn't be done by one person. They looked for places they said where impossible. This video shows how it's possible to be able to play this piece. It reminds me of how Barrios must have been viewed by establishment, so different, able improvise on stage. Yamashita was and is incredible. The western prejudice decided he couldn't be because he wasn't one of them. Here is the proof
To build on the last comment , I came to this performance via a video about him where the narrator explained that Kazuhito was getting shade thrown at him by the western musical community and media.
...ask Nikola Tesla what it means to be a genius among haters at that level.
As a westerner, I hate that the prejudice happened and that this man’s talent was hidden from us.
He gives me the feeling only select master pianists give me, that I’m hearing a world of orchestration and a total dissolution into the music.
Well said.
It’s like watching Rachmaninov play, inspiring and humbling.
There’s no competition…
I feel sick and spellbound at the same time.
Truly the greatest player I’ve ever seen and heard.
Just discovered this esoteric 8th wonder today.
Technically I can’t rate and compare anyone even close to him.
Playing fit for the Gods….
Absolutely the greatest guitar performance of all time. There is beauty and perfection in all aspects. At this late stage in my life I didn't think I could be so profoundly touched by a performer. I was wrong!!! Thank you, Thank you!!!
Even after 45 years no other guitarist plays it better than him.
unbelievable the range of emotions he conveys on a single guitar, I almost teared up multiple times, especially around 26:45 and 28:02 when he straight up turned his guitar into an angelic choir
Yamashita here has given the single greatest solo guitar 🎸 Masterclass performance I’ve ever seen in any idiom. And I have seen many great ones, i.e., Holdsworth, Pass, Gatton, Williams, DeLucia, etc. His musicality, technique, dynamics , and stamina are simply beyond words. Possessed by the hands of a Higher Power playing a musical instrument. 😮
This guy has to be the greatest guitarist I have ever heard in any genre!!
I didn''t think this was humanly possible.
人間にこんな演奏ができるのかちょっと信じられない気持ちで聞いています。完璧という言葉が陳腐に思える位、何かを超越しています。
I listen to this several times times a year and each time it's never any less unbelievable to me. I have not heard anyone else play this piece come anywhere remotely close to this.
I'd like to thank Lucas Brar for educating me on this astonishing performance.
I applaud the luthier, and the strings, at several points I was scared something would break 😂
It is like watching a lion fly.
Doing something which is outside the realm of possibility.
Every body position is designed to give his hands the best possible position to give the best possible sound. This guy is next level genius.
Yamashitasan is in a category all by himself. I've never seen such intensity.
伝説の動画「展覧会の絵」が公式から配信される日が来るとは思ってもみませんでした。
一回舞台袖へはけて、鳴りやまない拍手にあたふたと2回も戻って来られた若き日の神のお姿は、人間ぽくって好き。
None of the guitarists who play this arrangement are able to play as dynamically as Yamashita. Because this song played on the guitar is playing in their brains. The sounds of an orchestra must be playing in Yamashita's head.
I still remember the tremendous experience of seeing his live in Tokyo decades ago.
If this wasn't captured on video, no one would have believed it possible...
My God! He just “killed” everyone ! Such staggering command of his instrument. He just stamped his mark as if to say “ this is how it should be played”
No guitarist has his virtuosity with the range of dynamics he uses.
I kind of understand now what must have been the sensation of seeing Paganini performing back then
Total genius. I play for 33 years and have never heard of you, until today. Wow 😮
CZcamsでこれまで何百回も見てきました。見る度に感動し涙を流します。最高画質と音質のご提供をしてくださり、ありがとうございます。
Thank you so much for posting this extraordinary performance. It brought tears to my eyes.
That is AMAZING! Totally out of this world! Really, this guy has to be from another planet, no one ever came close to this level of mastership! Technically crazzy good, BUT always musically perfect and justified!
I'm a student of all things guitar and music for decades but this guitarist really is his own category. He blazes the notes then strides with technique and amazement.
technique to serve the music. His dynamic its unique.
I’ve waited for a better quality video here on CZcams for so long, and to think Kazuhito Yamashita himself brought it to the public... thank you very much! Now I can finally try to understand a bit of the right hand technique employed, especially that one finger tremolo. Wish I could have watched this live, but the concert took place long before I was born.
Is he using his pinky for tremolo at one point?
@@lazycat724 Yes!!!
Saw Maestro play this live in LA back in 90(?), never have been the same since hearing him, I think maybe it was the pinky tremolo that made me lose my mind.😳
Yea, playing while holding a constant pianissimo tremolo with the pinky. That's some superhuman dexterity. Most people I know never even use the pinky!
OMG! I just heard of him today on the tonebase channel and had to find this performance, it's so good for the soul. He truly is the greatest player of our time. Cheers from an old Las Vegas drummer!!
Phenomenal! The bright variety of sounds he was creating was fantastic. You don't miss any orchestral instrument - he brings all the nuances with just 6 strings.
An incredible genius who is several frets beyond anyone else!! The great Yamashita!!!
I assigned this as a listening for my students. they're gonna love it 🥰
haha found it!
:c
thanks teach
💯
@@CanadianDivergent⭐️
jesus christ the fuck how did he do that
paco de lucia and kazuhito yamashita are both from the same planet nice of them to come visit us and show us how the true mastery is
And I would say Kazuhito is from a Planet far beyond than the great Paco…
マエストロの最も有名な映像のマスター版が遂に、もう感謝しかございません。とても40年近く前の演奏とは思えません。世界中が驚嘆したのも頷けます。
魂のこもった演奏に、何回聴いても感動で涙が出てきます。
本当にありがとうごさいます。
Somehow the music is playing the guitar here... what a passion in this man!
この人のことを全く知らなくて、さっき初めて動画を見ました。
「マジで全部やるの！？最初のとこだけじゃなくて！？」というのが最初の感想。そして凄まじいダイナミクス。一人だけなのにオーケストラが見える。恐ろしい演奏でした。見れて良かった。そして知れて良かった。感謝です。
I've been a fan if Mussorgskys music since 2000 and am amazed at my discovery of Yamashita coinciding with him playing Mussorgksy.. 🤔 circle of life
I never thought anyone could pull off Pictures on guitar, especially this well.
Bravo!
Pictures at an Exhibition is such a wonderful immersive piece and I have never seen someone bring it to life so well by just using a single instrument. I can almost feel the gnome staring at me, crouched behind a stalagmite with classical guitar in hand!!! Amazing!!!
Amazed. Articulating your own voice while honoring the composer is quite rare. ❤
...did Yamashita really play this transcription, he himself wrote, when 16yrs old? ... but then.. to play it like he does in this recording .. ? .. the best transcription I've ever heard ❤️ bravo..
Brings tears to my eyes..
クラシック以外の世界中の全ギタリストの方にもこの動画を観ていただきたいですね。いったいどんなリアクションをされるのか観てみたいです。
バイオリンのひまりちゃんもそうだと思いますが
山下和仁さんはどう考えても天才だと思います。
それ以外の大半のプロの演奏家がどんなに努力をし練習を積んでも到底することのできない演奏をされていると思います。
他の演奏家の方が出せない音も出していると思います。
いったい何種類の音色を奏でているのかと数えたくなるほどに(笑)
もはやそれは『天才』だから
と言う事以外に理由が見つからないです。
この動画は出来るだけ多くの音楽を愛する方に観ていただきたいと思います。
展覧会の絵と言う名組曲が素晴らしい作品だと言うことを
山下和仁さんの演奏、そしてやはり
山下和仁さんの天才的な編曲
これで再確認させられる演奏だと思います。
鳥肌が立ち続けました。ギターのみとは思えない。山下さん自身の奥底に惹きこまれるような引力があります。ギターの演奏でここまで感情的に揺さぶられたのは初めてです。奇跡と言って良いほどの名演です。是非その場でお聞きしたかった。
As groundbreaking as Segovia, if not more so. Stunning.
This is truly incredible. I’ve been playing classical guitar for 20 years (holy crap, that’s a long time) and I can’t imagine playing some of these passages.
これが本当の天才
ギターのリスト、パガニーニ
Thank you maestro for showing us how far we can take this small and deeply flawed instrument, if we put the hard work! This is just incredible: the technique for one, but most of all, the musicality, the dynamics, the different sounds possible, the intensity! Such an underrated musician and guitar hero.
山下さんと同じ時代に同じ日本で生まれたことをとても嬉しく思います。
Is it Christmas? It must be Christmas!!! Thank you for posting an incredible moment in history captured on film!!!
神話的なプレゼンテーションがギターの歴史の前後であったことを見て聞いて、どれほどエキサイティングか。アートは常に、この惑星での人間としての私たちの最高かつ最高の表現を示します。山下マスターの感性と芸術に感謝します。人間として私たちが反対のことをしている時代です。この貴重な芸術作品をもう一度アップロードしていただきありがとうございます。乾杯!
My first introduction to this piece was Emerson,Lake and Palmer. It remains one of my all time favorites. I love your expertise. Thank you for sharing your talents!
I first discovered the Tomita record in my dad’s collection and about a year later I got to the ELP live version. It was there, but fell in love with the electronic version first. Curiously, I got to the original piano version after the Ravel-orchestrated one.
Потрясающе! До прослушивания / просмотра этого ролика даже не мог представить, что ТАК можно играть на классической гитаре. - Это нечто запредельное. Я, конечно, не профессиональный музыкант, но люблю слушать музыку, в том числе гитарную, и то, как играет господин Kazuhito Yamashita - это совершенно поразительно на всех уровнях моего разумения: и в плане техники исполнения (и звукоизвлечения), и в плане артистизма, и в целом - как интерпретация музыкального произведения. Браво!
Thank you Thank you Thank you! For the ages!
No puedo expresar cuánto me emociona esta interpretación cada vez que la escucho. Me siento como un niño. ¡Muchas gracias por compartir esta joya histórica!
One of the greatest living guitarist
I don't watch your performances enough but you're my favorite classical guitarists. Your performances of Bach's cello suites were incredible.
i remember buying this on cd when it was firs released as a classical guitarist studying the repertoire of that time i was blown away and couldn’t believe one guitarist had played this entire piece, absolutely astonishing. yamashita is probably the greatest classical guitarist in terms of technical ability.
Heard of this piece only shortly after you posted this vid. Ive been obsessed ever since. This has gotta be the most impressive musical performance ive ever seen in my life. Easily among my top favorite guitarists now.
ギターに掛けるひたむきな姿、情熱、限界に挑むその総てが
この演奏にはある。
ギター演奏史に燦然
と異才を放つ名演。
山下さんは誰が何と言おうと世界一のギターリストです。
Together with Alexey Zimakov
同級生の山下さん 工学部から直ぐに経済学部に転科したの覚えてる 凄いギタリストがいるって少し話題になってた
Amazing is too humble. He may well be the greatest to have ever walked the Earth.
Incredibly on one guitar! Das ist unfassbar orchestral!
Eine Gitarre, just one guitar!
Excellent, never heard that so good. And I played it within an guitar-orchestra.
Unbelievable emotional work. Thank you Maestro
アップ本当に有難う御座います。こんな日が来るとは夢のようです。待っていた甲斐がありました。感謝感謝です。
素晴らしすぎます。ギター1本でこんな演奏が出来るなんて！クラシックギターファンの1人として涙が出ます。
It's just a miracle
Astonishing. Astounding. I have no more words. 😢
The most incredible artist, creator, performer, virtuoso, guitarist, of all times! A wonder of nature! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🎶
He is indeed.
公式からついに！！！
映像めっちゃきれい✨
2006年くらいにこの動画を見つけて毎日のように聴いてきた😚
演奏後の映像初めてみたかも、拍手が鳴り止まないのが流石海外だなと思った。
神業過ぎて「見てはいけない」何かを見せて頂いた思いです。サラウンドスピーカーで鳴らすと更にギターの豊かな臨場感を得られます。
Incredible artistry and mastery to both arrange this and perform it like this.
OMG!!! What a performance! I was completely mesmerized by his playing. Never thought I would sit through half an hour on you tube watching this😂
Wow!, just when I thought I have seen it all the youtube algorithm sends me this and I am totally blown away.
amazing, just learning of yamashita, incredible performance, the last 10 minutes are other-worldly, he's already played 22 minutes and goes into some of the most amazing guitar work from there, and absolutely masters it.
BRAVISIMO ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Speaking strictly for me, this is by far the GREATEST art music acoustic guitar concert ever. Is like the "Woodstock" for the instrument. Your words of encouragement still resonate in me: がんばってください ! ! !
Kazuhito Yamashita just murdered Jimi Hendrix
The Great Gate of Kiev sound nuances are out of this world, unsurpassed!
Greatest Classical Guitar Performance.
This marvelous musician has opened my eyes to the fact that it isn’t just the piano that can come close to reproducing the sound of an entire orchestra, but a mere 6 strings stretched out on a fretboard over a resonant “box” of wood-a guitar-can do the same thing! Oh, but it takes so much skill and dexterity and musicianship to make it happen. Sometimes the word, amazed, is just too weak to express one’s reaction. Astonished comes a little bit closer, but can’t quite get there.
The spirit of music possessed and spoked through him
情熱と素晴らしいテクニックで奏でられる美しい音楽。あなたの才能に感謝します。
最高レベルのパフォーマンス。サムライギターです。このようなパフォーマンスは音符で演奏するのではなく、自分自身、楽器、素材との本当の戦いです。そしてこの戦いに勝利したのは和仁だった。私はそのような印象を残したギタリスト、ロシア出身のアレクセイ・ジマコフしか知りませんでしたが、彼はあまりにも早くに私たちのもとを去りました。そして和仁さんのコンサートに行くことができました！
At last,God has descended.
WOW. yes, im speechless. GNOMUS is unbelievable. this man is surely the top master, i have never heard anyone playing M like this.
The Masterclass (REmastered), glad to see this performance in improved video quality
Bravissimo Maestro Yamashita ❤
😮😮😮😮 I just found out last night about this magnificent guitarist and his interpretation ❤❤❤❤❤of pictures of exhibition
This is really outstanding, a phenomenon. How deeply he is in music and how deeply he feels it. Impressing and amazing.
It is finally happened!!! Thank you very much!!!
What a strong nails
ついにアップ‼️ 本当に 感動です‼️
これは何回も見てしまいます✨
The ultimate!!!
