The speed was the impressive part for me when I first heard him play it, now that I got the speed down, I realize that it's his dynamics that makes this piece sound so beautiful, not the speed.

[cEdwards]

Extraordinary control of his dynamics!

[DonCarlosHormozi]

Brazilians must be extraordinarily proud of this great Thanks for sharing.

[ToXin]

Amazing! Fluent, flawless, wide range of dynamics and lots of feeling. In my opinion, this is the best performance of Etude No. 1 on Youtube so far.

[TwinsunianT]

I don't understand the 111 dislikes. This performance is one of the bests.

[joaovictorbrittobastos]

Thanks for this!!! A Brazilian song, i'm brazilian, so thank you!

[gokhandemirhan]

I'm able to play this piece for about 30 years now. Never ever played even once without an error.

[tontech]

Algumas coisas que me dão orgulho de ser brasileiro são essas composições.

[mikegallagher]

His dynamics are breathtaking. Wonderful performance! Amazing tone too.

[seraph]

Esse grande Mestre é Brasileiro !
Heitor Villa Lobos !
O maior de todos os mestres erudito do BRASIL.

[davidzas]

wow - so beautiful!!! i'm a pianist and i find guitar so elusive to my style. the whole technique is different. So admirable!! I'm teaching brazilian music and will share this etude of you in my classical segment. thanks for sharing...

[soundknight]

Very interesting technique, he has a great control of dynamic and rubato even at this speed.

[bugisami]

One of the pieces I played for Turibio Santos in Sydney back in the late 1970s. Brings back long-forgotten memories.

Best version of this study. Dynamics, tempo, overal performance, guitar sound...

[havefunbesafe]

Man, that villa lobos was something else

[lbbrfarangkiinok]

This is my favorite performance of this ever, and this is one of my favorite pieces, it is just so amazingly eerie.

[alfonsoperdomo]

holy shit, that guitar sounds really good! so strong tone and volume!

[virgiliocassanicassani]

Sempre que dou pausa e novamente ouço o Xingye Li fico absorto e me encanto com essa magnífica execução desse Artista fenomenal.
Obrigadíssimo Xingye Li.

O movimentos das águas do rio Amazonas que desce incessantemente, até o rio negro, e de repente o encontro de seus leitos, num choque das águas, são os mesmos dos acordes interpretando o movimento da natureza, isto é Villa Lobbos.

[ludens]

Still the best recording of this etude, he nailed the dynamics at a nice speed.
