I am a guitarist, and I was awake in the middle of the night thinking about how this piece would be great on piano. This proves that I was right! Fantastic performance, with just enough additions to make it properly pianistic. Bravo!
Sou um violonista apaixonado pelas obras de Agustin Barrios. La Catedral é uma das mais importantes obras desse compositor fantástico. Essa transcrição ficou maravilhosa ao piano. Sua execução está perfeita, parabéns.
The piano playing the masterpiece written for the guitar is the highest tribute one can pay to the brilliant composer Augustine Barrios ! Brilliant performance !
Also in the ethereal paraguayan harp (harp) like La Catedral is played by a paraguayan guitarist this classical music can also be composed with any instrument.
Cual es destacado, es que Manuel Matarrita, es un talento costarricense y nuestro pais ha cultivado grandes intérpretes como él, así que apreciamos mucho lo que vale el talento musical !
Most piano pieces are hard to play on the Classical guitar with the exception of Albeniz who composed with the guitar in mind. I never expected to hear Barrios on the piano sound so good. Respect!!!
Hasta donde yo sé, albeniz componía para piano solo, nunca compuso nada para guitarra.....el hecho de que algunas obras de la suite española sonasen bien en guitarra es algo anecdótico, en las transcripciones de guitarra se pierden muchas notas como es obvio, albeniz es incómodo de tocar siempre, en definitiva, su música ni está pensada ni está hecha para guitarra, sino nunca hubiese hecho algo de mas de tres voces, de mas de 4 octavas, acordes de mas de 6 notas, sin olvidarnos que lo que se toca en guitarra española de albeniz son piezas cortas, la suite iberia por ejemplo es infranqueable en clasica. Saludos!
Also harp especially the Paraguayan harp and acoustic guitar are played by these pieces, harp is hard to learn, acoustic guitar is easy for someone to play, piano is hard especially playing with two hands if this is a grand piano the keys would be heavy to glide
Bellísima versión de esta increíble obra. Nunca la había escuchado en el piano. A mi entender confirma una vez más la grandeza del Gran maestro Agustín Barrios como compositor y no solo como guitarrista. Una obra a la altura de los grandes como Chopin, Schumman, Schubert o Rachmaninov. Gracias maestro Matarrita por esta cuidada y magistralmente interpretada versión!
Rémy Robinot Well geee ! Imagine that !! The gigantic piano has more power than the little 6 string guitar....Who'd have ever guessed ! Such brilliant insight Remy ...Do you give private lessons ? Because, you be da man ! !
As a guitar builder from education (Royal Conservatory) and a piano tuner (my work) i totally agree with you. The musical timbre of a piano is totally different than that of a guitar. I like La Catedral on both instruments, but they just bring their own feelings. You can't change the musical timbre of an instrument. I personally feel the piano version as 'softer and warmer' than the piano renditions, whereas i feel the guitar versions more 'to the point' and 'brighter'. Definately has to do with the way of agitating the strings: plucked against hammered. Listen to the version on harpsichord (here on CZcams) and you will hear it's more 'direct' and 'sharp'!
@@MarkInLA He said power, you heard volume. He said different, you heard more. I hope your English has improved over the last 4 years. It's hard for such sarcasm to be effective when you make a fool out of yourself in the process.
It doesn´t matter if piano or guitar. The beauty of this piece touchs everyone. I think that "Danza paraguaya" and "La catedral" are the best of Mangoré
María Ligia Mantero da Costa very true idea....It is like the Bach Chaconne written for solo violin; but it has been played on the guitar and piano as well and sounds equally good !!!
Erik fp What does the Bach opus have to do with this piece ?? !! OH, and it sounds better on violin !! You need to go seek help Erik or luu or whatever you are !!.
This is so important music for every guitarist, for me, too. Your interpretation is so good! We guitarists listen your playing very critically, but you passed the test - with applauds, thank you.
Gracias por tocar de manera esplendida esta maravillosa pieza inmortal del Mozart de la Guitarra Clásica mi compatriota Agustín Barrios, desde La Unión -Murcia. Responder
Movement I & II sound as if originally composed for piano. I heard that La Catedral was inspired by Bach. I can imagine Movement II sounds great played on organ. :-)
As Paraguayan La Catedral is really a paraguayan classical music mixed paraguayan polk (guarania) played on acoustic guitar but it is incredible that it is played on piano, I also heard it played on the Paraguayan harp, but it's incredible that it turns out well on the piano. I can't believe La Catedral can be played on any instruments 😮🤩
Its real civility Agustín Pio Barrios, Mangoré being a nickname he borrowed from a great leader of the Paraguayan forest. He would sometimes dress in Indian Guarani at his concerts. He composed for classical guitar, about 300 works.
Fatma Dridi Ben Aissa I never heard about a leader named "Mangoré", but in Guaraní that translates to something like "from the Mango tree". "Nitsuga" it's just his name "Agustín" written backwards. Greetings from Paraguay 🇵🇾 😉
Agustín Barrios Mangoré, born May 5, 1885 in San Juan Bautista de las Misiones, died August 7, 1944 in El Salvador, is a composer for guitar of the modern period.
Fabulous. Beautiful rendition. Thankyou so much M. Matarrita! This is one of the rare pieces written for the guitar that sound good on the piano (usually, it's the other way round), which shows the quality of Barrios' composition. Hearing this enables guitarists to play the piece better, hearing the structure of the music beyond guitaristic gestures and moving fingers quickly. Others might also like to hear the Villa-Lobos préludes in piano transcription (can be found on youtube).
Si compartieran las partituras de esta transcripción hecha por el Dr Carlos R. payes estaría eternamente agradecido , viva mangore en nuestras emociones y su música así como la gente que disfruta interpretando su legado de tantas maneras , pero esta transcripción la mas bella sin duda alguna , los arreglos son precisos armoniosos y bellos .
Sin tener la intención de menospreciar la guitarra (soy guitarrista yo mismo), esta interpretación en el piano demuestra la alta calidad de esta obra maestra de Barrios Mangoré. El preludio y el andante religioso suenan como una nocturna de Chopin (los hay que llaman Barrios el 'Chopin' de la guitarra), mientras el allegro solemne puede tener algo de Bach y después Beethoven. ¿Podría ser que ser famoso como compositor tiene algo que ver con el instrumento para el cual uno compone? De todas formas: muy buena transcripción y interpretación!
Pues lo de ser famoso es subjetivo, creo que sí te refieres a pianistas como Beethoven, pues ellos pertenecen a otro periodo de la música clásica, Agustín barrios pertenece al periodo contemporáneo, de ahí el porqué según tu punto de vista no es tan conocido. No sé si estudiaste guitarra clásica en conservatorio, pero yo si, y en lo que se refiere al ámbito universitario era muy conocido Agustín barrios, su música es tan intelectual como la música de Bach, y tiene cierta influencia del barroco. En está generación hay poca cultura de música clásica, creo que ese es otro punto del porqué genios de la guitarra a veces pasan desaparecidos, la mayoría de personas asocian la guitarra con la música popular, si supieran que la guitarra también es un instrumento que se usa en la música de cámara. y para finalizar con mi comentario hay seudo artistas que son muy famosos (Bad Bunny, maluma) y tienen millones de seguidores, pero jamás llegarán al nivel del genio Agustín barrios.

War was an abstract idea, nothing more than a show on T.V. As a child, I always saw it as happening on some faraway land, until on that final day of summer
One day, while on my way to school, I looked up in the skies. A sound like distant thunder. In the blue skies far above me, contrails drew dizzying circles around in a crazy waltz; a battle in the beautiful skies far away. I could not tear my gaze away from them. A deafening roar. Sharp silhouettes appeared, as if to graze the hills, and streaked past me. The fighters played the cat or mouse in turn as they climbed swiftly into the sky. One fleeing plane fell out of the sky, spiraling and spewing orange flames to crash by the cape. The same cape where my family lived.
I always thought that Barrios' music would sound amazing on piano ... and it does. Finally piano players get to transcribe some guitar pieces for a change!
Very musical rendition. The piano, naturally, changes the character of the piece, and that's how it should be. The keyboard's greater sonority adds an impact not found in the guitar version, the latter of course benefitting from a greater lyrical intimacy and somewhat more color. The transcription was nicely discreet regarding changes to the original. On first hearing I didn't detect many.
Astute observations. Hard to compare, but after several hearings, I think I prefer this rendition to any on guitar that I've heard. (e.g Williams' version pales in comparison. And, of course, Segovia did not play the music of Barrios.)
I heard a bit of trouble (miniscule) on the 3rd mvmt. I play this on guitar. Guitar is hard in general. The ones that proclaim otherwise are hardcore optimists. This sounds so Beethoven/Chopinesque on the piano. Beautiful.
Hermosa y fiel interpretación. Como alguien dijera, esta música suena mejor en piano que en guitarra. Lo que Barrios quizá deseaba hacer era eso: Música para ser interpretada en cualquier instrumento con excelente calidad.
barrios was a genius imo, he didn’t get the recognition he deserved, especially in europe, segovia didn’t do him any favours either. it was only when john williams started to record his music in the 1980s he started to become popular again.
Hermosisima musica de guitarra, version en piano......Para sacarle el sombrero a Agustin Barrios....para recrear el oido y el alma, con una composicion tan inspirada.....
This is my very first time to hear this piece in piano, so exciting to hear this performing from the beginning to the end, wow, great prerforming and great interpretation.. many thanks
What a thrill to hear this on the piano! Odd that the greeting clap was louder than the ending applause, as it was beautifully played. As a less than 2 year veteran of the classical guitar and 60 year veteran of the piano, I'm going to have to learn this piece on the piano. The allegro on piano was a bit tepid, but that may just highlight the difference between the instruments, with the natural intonation of the guitar being far superior for this movement.
algo me tiene asombrado e impactado le e oído la catedral a muchos guitarristas de alto nivel muy prodigiosos y profesionales, sabemos que esta pieza fue escrita para guitarra originalmente sin el primer movimiento pero de todos los guitarristas que e escuchado tocando esta pieza nadie la a interpretado correctamente y TU lo hiciste, creo que acabas de interpretar la pieza mejor que Barrios me dejaste impresionado me encantaría oírte en vivo no quiero causar polémicas solo es mi puntode vista
Ésta es mi interpretación del primer movimiento de "La Catedral", dedicada a el gran Maestro Mangoré - This is my interpretation of the first movement of "La Catedral", dedicated to the great Maestro Mangoré Agustín Barrios Mangoré: La Catedral (Preludio Saudade)
I am a huge fan of the original tune on the classical guitar, but this also sounds beautiful on the piano. Movements II and III sound so Beethoven-like when played on the piano.
Yes, Barrios music also great transcription for piano solo work. The genius composer like JS Bach also inspired Agustin Barrios in his music composition especially single notes run and chords (like complete Lute suites, Sonata, Violin Partitas, etc.)
I like so much this video, I play guitar and piano, and when I look this video, i feel the music, the feeling in the interpretation. Great performance! :)

MrBlindmans Absolutely
I don't know about piano, but it is extremely hard to play on the guitar.
Niko Mycaasinishere
I whole heartily agreed with you this master piece is much easy for piano not on the classical guitar .

Augustine Barrios is a great legend in fact all his compositions is so challenging and difficult to play but they are all beautiful
MrBlindmans It is a beautiful piece. Relatively difficult though, grade 6, there are much harder pieces.
