Albeniz's Asturias must be one of my favourite pieces ever.

Good shout. I'm teaching myself Spanish classical guitar at the moment. I'm going to make this my next piece to learn [url=

If you haven't watched Sheku Kanneh-Mason's rendition of Shostakovich's Cello Concerto No. 1 in the BBC Young Musician final, you really should catch it on i-player. The saxophonist, Jess Gillam, was brilliant too...

Great clip OP.

Me, well being a huge fan of Tomatito, I'm now mellowing to Vicente Amigo..something with a bit more rhythm..

Totally agree SaxonRider. The guitar is such an amazing and versatile instrument in the right hands!
I bought tickets to see this fella last month, expecting a great guitar concert... Milos cancelled due to an injury and they brought in some grey geezer with no stage presence - and he played for all of 15 minutes (the rest of the concert was full orchestra). One of the bigger disappointments in my life!

The section after about 6 minutes actually brings tears to my eyes. 😥

Same piece as Rocketdog. But with John Williams.

One of my deepest regrets is not seeing Williams play before he retired.

Very inventive:

Love this but completely baffled as to how he does it

The guitar is such a versatile instrument.

I would post videos, but there are so many gloriously inventive versions by the same players, it would be unfair. Some to look for, however;

India/Mountain Time - Joe Bonamassa
Pretty much anything by Alex Lifeson. Especially the subtle stuff like Madrigal.
Any time The Reverend Willy G decides to play the blues. Blue Jean Blues, for example.

Such a great instrument.
