Lauro 'Registro' played by Adam Holzman

[RyanWalshGuitar]

what a gorgeous guitar, and interpretation!!! Ole, maestro!

[jimdavidson]

The character of this piece is only more interesting when you realize Lauro wrote it while in prison. Holzman might also be my all-time interpreter of Lauro; his NAXOS album is inspiring!

i bet his thumb nail can cut through stainless surgical steel :P
set aside the joke, i really admire his playing and interpretation

[mikeh]

Never seen a classical guitarist with that kind of thumb technique. I'm curious if there is an injury or something that requires such a long nail and wild thumb movement

[marknashland]

That thumb nail is nasty hahaha. Dude is killing it though. Absolutely beautiful. I just started learning this song yesterday. Am I wrong for not growing my nails to play classical? I've been playing classical for years and have never felt the need to play with my nails like this.

[stddisclaimer]

Nice Tarrega-correct right hand position, leading to better tone and greater tonal variety.

[keenae]

A nice player, but that thumb nail looks gross 🤮

[teefrichards]

nice playing but that thumbnail put me off my dinner

[markwilliams]

This Lauro piece and Adam's virtuosic playing on his Naxos CD many years ago sent me into orbit. His phrasing is not of this earth. His wispy eddying arabesque melodic contours are mesmerising

[musicavariada]

Me encantan las interpretaciones De Adam, son de una calidad Mayúscula

[Rodrigo-menq]

I really wish he can appear more on this channel, maybe playing the second and forth movement from this suite... One of the best interpreter of lauro

[nebovas]

Thumb nail is the longest I have ever seen. What is the purpose of it? Guitar is mediocre having in mind it's price.

[TommyG]

Looks at the camera at the end basically saying "That's right, I challenge someone play it better". Bravo!

[EmanuelEstradaYarce]

That's an incredible warm sound from a spruce top!. Nice

[boss_acg]

I'm 40 now, but it's crazy now remembering me performing this at recital at Stetson University when I was in 5th grade.

[jesmarkmikesell]

I don't care if this seems inappropriate, but I'm amazed how he can play with a thumbnail like that :O I can barely play with my thumb if the nail beyond one-eight an inch long

Other than that, his tone and interpretation is amazing!

[GerardoRodriguez-sdiw]

What a beautiful tune. It is perfectto the warm sound of the guitar. Lauro=Genius!

[sargijapunk]

Whauuh whatta a nail! :D Well played and really beautifull. That guitar sounds lyrical.

[banjorol]

I love Adam's interpretation of this beautiful Lauro piece.
