One of the finest with a tremendous volume of memorized music across the classical and popular spectrum.. His interpretations are instantly special.

So good to have someone with such distinctive, strong, clear sound. A great pleasure to listen to. Now listen to Segovia playing this piece and enjoy the difference.

Una interpretazione meravigliosa piccole imprecisioni che scendono non in secondo, ma in ultimo piano perché, quando ascolti un attacco così, non puoi rimanere indifferente. Superiore a molte esecuzioni moderne, apparentemente perfette ma... senza quel tocco che solo questi grandi interpreti riescono ad avere

he plays very very well, with variety and quality of sound, perfect style, great musicality, a lot of fantasy

belliisima interpretacion gracias cariños de INES SETUAIN DE CONCORDIA ERIOS ARGENTINA

Un verdadero orgullo para nosotros los cubanos, tener un santiaguero de la talla de Manolito y ni qué decir de nuestra Escuela Cubana de Guitarra

Esta es una excelente versión de la obra. Al primero que se la escuché fue a Segovia allá por el 1965, muy buena versión, casi insuperable en ese tiempo, manteniéndose las grabaciones originales de entonces. Muchos guitarristas, además, la tocan y sus versiones son bastante buenas. Sin embargo, M. Barrueco lo hace tan bien que no tiene nada que envidiarle a Segovia, desde luego cada uno en su propio estilo y forma, como debe ser. Muchas gracias.

Ok, I stumbled onto this. I’ve known about and have many of his pieces in my library. I have not seen this video until now, November 24 2020. This video is a recording from many years ago, so the recording technically has flaws. However Manuels performance is stellar. Sor somehow really nailed it with this variation, and Mr Barrueco nailed it also with his deliverance of the masterpiece.

Always interesting piece of My Life. Thanks a lot , Sor & Manuel ^^♡^^

AMAZING guitar player!!!!♫♪

Quando ascolto questa sua interpretazione rimango sempre incantato. Bellissimo!!!!!

EXTRAORDINARIA SU INTERPRETACIÓN MAESTRO

かっこいい！魔笛はこう弾け‼って言ってる❕❕

Like he´s looking and listening his own playing objectively, brilliant guy.

Fantastic !

Bravo!!!! Gran sonido.

Fantastico!!!

so incredible its so inspiring

Good post..thats a fun piece to play. enjoyed.

Maestro!!

Teşekkürler. Harika bir konser.

Fascinating and beautiful. Not utterly flawless, but pretty damned close. What I find interesting is seeing different guitarists fingers in sections of the variations. Manuel Barrueco has his own fingerings and chord-shapes, which different from those of John Williams (for example). Nice to see that there's more than one way to play those parts. xx

Bravo !

superb!!!!

Linda marlon, buen vídeo! Saludos!

well that's the best i've heard that played live, easily...what phrasing, what tone, what artistry

Прилично!

Oh my, Genius playiing

è bello sentire i live veri... anche i fenomeni non sono perfetti

Bellissima interpretazione

Хорош гитарист. Желательно - повнимательнее к средине, к педалям, а они на гитаре могут быть оч разными, великолепными. Да есть ещё и т н "временная система. Ах, как бы было..!!!😆😆

bunidimais, quequé isso !!!

Lovely playing. Alirio Diaz and Julian Bream were the blokes who blew me away with this piece when I had to learn this piece back in 1970. I'd rate Barrueco pretty close to them; great player.

I like both this and the Segovia performance. I like this especially because he plays the intro. This is the way I've heard Celedonio Romero play this piece. Thanks for posting this on YT.

He listened to Segovia's version. Very good.

Los directores en su afán por ensalsar al erudito que asumen que es el músico, siempre hacen transiciones lentas y cadenciosas mostrando varios ángulos, envolviendo de cierta aura al intérprete, que lo hacen ver como un ser casi mágico. Y uno como guitarrista quisiera una toma estática donde se pudiera apreciar las dos manos y ya. Pare de contar.

마술피리는 악보대로 연주하기가 너무 힘들어요. 이렇게 칠 수 있으면 얼마나 좋을까

Yyesssssssssss

Great Master of the guitar!

Introduction and Variations on a Theme by Mozart ("The Magic Flute"), Op.9 - Fernando Sor

yeah, thats right.

Does anyone know the maker of Manuel's guitar?

Once upon a time, I could play this song. I don't believe how I managed to. Was one of the chosen pieces in the ABRSM grade 8 guitar pieces. Lol

Brah, Veesa Mo Mo Mo!

Good, but hard to say awesome after watching this one: Segovia - variations on Mozart's theme

BLAVO!

the best ever, just ask Russell, Tannenbaum, Assads, Wang and Meng, etc etc

Holy Moises!

oto kitanaino

I use to take master classes with him in the 80s technically great with Villa Logos and Scarlett pieces. But his Classical performance lacks the musicality that is required, such as phrasing blowing through passage that don't connect with the harmonic pace. Also classical music variations in color and tone, like Julian Bream and John Williams. I felt there was no improvement here of this piece. Plus people who have played this piece know there were countless amount of errors, notes and rhythm. I was taught if you make a mistake don't go back and repeat the notes over again like he did in the theme. The string squeaks have to go. It maybe the characteristics of the guitar but it does not enhance the music for the listener to excuse. I do respect this guy's technical ability but needs to refine some of this issues, some people technical fast that's ok as long as it has musical quality to go a long with it. I don't like to give negative reviews but as a professional guitarist I also think music comes first before technique. I do enjoy some of his early recordings a lot, but this doesn't appeal to me at all. And think the audience that are or aren't guitarist feel the same way from what hear from others. The big question can guitarist entertain for people who are not guitarists, if so than you created music. To Manuel, if you record some slow music your musicianship could possibly improve I would hope. For all the guitarist out there listen to all instruments and music out there and tell me how this performance compares. I think I'll listen to something else . David Umberger

debo reconocer que el hombre es una maquina, pero lo encontré un poco duro, creo que hay versiones mejores... saludos

This piece is too rushed and too fast. Absolutely no feeling put into it what-so-ever. It is not a race, it is music.

Triplet arpeggios suck!

big problem with left hand technique

缺乏感情，技巧有些生疏，音色太僵硬。
