Paco de Lucia and Yamashita - Aranjuez

This video is only educational. My love for teaching guitar

Francisco Gustavo Sánchez Gomes (21 December 1947 – 25 February 2014), known as Paco de Lucía [ˈpä.ko̞ ð̞e̞ lu.ˈθi.ä], was a Spanish virtuoso flamenco guitarist, composer, and record producer. A leading proponent of the new flamenco style, he was one of the first flamenco guitarists to branch into classical and jazz. Richard Chapman and Eric Clapton, authors of Guitar: Music, History, Players, describe de Lucía as a "titanic figure in the world of flamenco guitar", and Dennis Koster, author of Guitar Atlas, Flamenco, has referred to de Lucía as "one of history's greatest guitarists".

Kazuhito Yamashita (山下和仁, born 1961 in Nagasaki) is a Japanese classical guitarist. His technique and expression are highly acclaimed. By the age of 32, Yamashita had already released 52 albums, including repertoires for solo guitar, guitar concertos, chamber music and collaborations with other renowned musicians such as James Galway. To date, he has released a total of 83 albums.

2 of the greatest nylon string guitarists the world has ever seen and heard. Both are exemplary masters in their chosen field.

[unwrought]

To me both of them are the best. The bestest.

Paco de Lucia avait apprit à 75% le 2ème mouvement d'Aranjuez à l'oreille, car à l'époque il ne lisait pas encore la musique, il joue avec ses racines sa culture son style bien à lui quasi inimitable, je défie quiconque de l'imiter c'est impossible contrairement à Yamashita...! La comparaison est plus qu'audacieuse, 2 styles complètement opposé ...Soit dit en passant et en tant que guitariste classique, l'interprétation de Paco est magistrale, ma préférée tout comme avec ses interprétations de M. De Falla en duo (Dance du feu)....

[scherzoo]

Leaving aside that it's no point to compare two such guitar players to establish a hierarchy... the video is not edited to allow comparison. We should have been allowed to compare the same bits (the same fast runs, for example, the same rasgueado etc). Instead, the video is edited for musical continuity. ...

Paco de Lucía... Maestro de Maestros... Great between the Greatest... Composer, Musician, Interpreter, Producer, Creator and Genius. Paco was and is the music, the representation of a culture, revolutionary and evolution of art! Siempre Paco!

I had a chance to buy the last ticket for a Paco concert in Belgrade but because my girlfriend wouldn't also be able to come, I declined the last ticket. What a fool I was. And now Paco is gone, I won't ever get the chance to hear a live performance.

[yes-fqjd]

Paco De Lucia added a flamenco feel to the whole piece. Considering this was the only classical piece he ever played, I'd say he has the best version of Aranjues

[viarnay]

Yamashita's technique is out of this world, period. I love both but Yam is the only to take my jaw down.

[migbern]

I like both.. but the best version of Cincuertl de Aranjuez belong to Pepe Romero, listen the studio version is amazing…

[BaxorUpGreat]

Both masters played it their own way. Their techniques are accomplished in their own ways. It's stupid to confront these two too different interpretations of the masterpiece

[felipegonzalezoficial]

There ain't no one like Paco, Yamashita is good but never like Paco

[purpleman]

There are several rhytmic fails and even sonic inaccuracies in Yamashita´s performance here that Paco de Lucía would never make. Paco´s performance is much subtler.

[tonewreck]

Paco's version is so much more true rhythmically and spiritually to the music. One can hear the arab/african colours in all the rhythmic subtleties. Yamashita has the best technique ever but it completely misses the mark in my opinion. It has no swing and sounds stiff and aimless. Paco's tells the story marvellously.

[shredsta]

Paco de Lucia cannot be compared to Yamashita, Yamashitas colors and just overall use of Dynamics is fucking amazing not to mention his clean use of speed

[CounterflowEntropy]

Алексей Зимаков сыграл лучше всех, Родриго сказал, что у него лучше всех получилось передать, то, что он хотел, когда сочинял это

[jonnyb]

Close your eyes and listen to the music. Don't watch Yamashita's technique, that is not the point. Paco's feel and rhythm are fabulous.

[piero]

Respect to all guitar players specially masters like Yamashita but please... there are the legends, masters, amazing musicians and genius and above all that is Paco de Lucía. Such a competition is disrespectful. So different and lights years away.

[DIEGOGONZALEZ-nped]

For a flamenco player that is superb! However, Yam is more polished and nuanced.

[jesusalconero]

Paco de lucía es el mejor guitarrista flamenco, pero no es el mejor en clásico,

[CT]

Yamashita is a musical hack. Don't like his style, his long claws nor his eccentrics. I know this piece very well and he butchers it with audible flaws and mistakes because of his weird style.
