This is still my favorite performance of la Catedral. I’ve been coming back here every so often for years to hear it again.

The most impressive executed "La Catedral" I have ever seen, among over 100s of performances. Simply Magnificent.

One of the best plays that song. Few can play it without rhythm problems.

Best La Catedral I've heard in my entire life. This is some serious talent and technique just Wow

The best i have ever heard. Most people struggle with the 3rd section. He plays it with ease. Well done !

Increíble! Excelente interpretación,, yo diría que la mejor que he escuchado, mis respetos para usted Maestro, saludos desde Oaxaca, México

Not only is this a brilliant interpretation, but he's an incredibly kind person. I had a lesson a year and a half before my audition at CCPA and he did it for free. He invited us to come to his house for the lesson, and when we arrived he came to the door in gym shorts and a white shirt. He was wonderful, and I got so much out of the one hour lesson we had. He even called us after we returned home to talk about my options. For someone so talented, it's a miracle he's as down-to-earth as he is.

the three parts of the La Catedral, in a single film, have been on youtube for years and they suddenly dissapered at a point. I hereby salute the republishing of the whole suite in a single film! Thanks!

There are no words to describe this performance. It's Fantastic !!! It's powerful and passionate, yet flowing and graceful. It is transcendant.

The most beautiful guitar piece i've ever found... The most impressive interpretation i've ever heard.. I have listened for your song some years ago, and i'm still stunned in front of your mastering. Thank you man for this performance !

Oh boy I just love his technique and musicality....absolute perfection!

Really unhealthy to watch this video when you try to learn the song

This is the best playing the "La Catedral" what I ever seen!

Literally perfection.

I'm a classical guitarist and have watched this video multiple times as I am currently learning this piece to add to my repertoire, but this guy is the best I've found on youtube as to how this piece is meant to be played. He is a real craftsman of the guitar! So perfect, I hope to one day reach even close to this level.. For now I will just listen and enjoy the beautiful music played by a real master :)

I don't know why there is too much dislike on this video. .!! They can do better they think? ? A Million like for this guitarist. this is my master piece

Another example of the amazing capacity of human spirit personified in the composition as well as the performance.... Bravo !!

As an amateur classical guitarist (see my channel) I've probably watched this 100x. This performance is masterful and as close to perfection as can be achieved. A monumental effort; I don't know why it hasn't been viewed millions of times.

perfect execution, perfect changes in dynamics and not a single missed note in the 3rd movement; his performance is the true religious experience lol wow!

"I was just a child when the stars fell from the sky..."

I watched this video 14 years ago. Still the best La Catedral now

After scouring KZfaq in search of a good performance and satisfactory sound of this piece, I reached the final station. All respect and thanks.

Absolute connection to the sound by Denis Azabagic

Slow doesnt necessarily mean melancolic, and fast doesnt necessarily mean Happy. The prelude is played astoundingly. He managed to show the motions of the piece without playing it slowly. I prefer this interpretation.Since there are great jumps of distance betwen notes, playing it slowly would kill it.

Absolutely stunning. The dynamics are sublime, the best performance I've seen by far.

god damn i've heard this so many times, and its still amazing

I'm am also a guitarist (classical) and I think this is the best la catedral I have ever heard

Esecuzione più bella e perfetta che io abbia mai sentito.Grande maestro Denis Azabagic.Auguri.

Magnifique, bravo, quel voyage

The best interpretation of La Catedral

Mr Azabagić, you are simply fantastic, thank you.

Best "Allegro Solemne" I've heard so far --other than the Maestro himself

Dear Tomsmuse1........Maestro Azabagic NEVER makes mistakes. He's a fabulous player, one of the finer in this world! your friend, Jose Sepulveda

I met Denis at one of his concerts in Reno, NV about 10 years ago. I was a guitar student in my undergraduate program then and he was really nice and gave me tips about how he does his nails, etc. I was impressed with his performance and down to earth personality.

I added this video on my favourites since it is on KZfaq, can't be atleast 1 week without seeing it and every time Denis Azabagic amazes me with his mastery on the classical guitar. Trully a genious, pure soul in his playing. Simply Amazing!

Qué bárbaro!!! Alguna vez logré interpretar ésta joya con los ojos cerrados, sin embargo, me quedé a años luz!!!! 10 estrellas!!!!

The best performance i've heard of this masterpiece.

A great guitarrist said once, after someone asked him what makes a good guitarrist and he answered: "Be a good person" That's true!! In order to express like this man, you have to be very sincere!!

Absolutely outstanding. Sublime. Superb. Bravo!!

I only cry once a year.. i cried today.. amazing song

Bravo Denis ! Je suis fana de Pio Mangore Barrios , c'est une des meilleures version de la "Catedral" que j'ai entendue avec celle de Kyuhee Park, un vrai plaisir de vous écouter, Merci

realmente he quedado deslumbrado en la interpretación de esta monumental obra de arte del maestro Agustín Barrios Mangore " excelente interpretación" "felicitaciones"!! hace años que interpreto esta pieza pero como este caballero ....no .. genio absoluto !!

Excelente muchas gracias gran interpretación

Gracias. Volví a creer en la guitarra clásica.

Fantastic!!! Absolutely perfect.

I almost cried, that was amazing!

It has been many years I saw this performance on KZfaq; now I look & listen to it again and it still amazes me!

This is the most flawless performance I’ve ever seen in my life and the intensity in your playing is mind blowing!!!!

Why the hell does this video have 422 dislikes? This was amazing!!

Exceptional, fantastic, amazing, have no words to describe this... God and angel in yours finger and in your mind... Tank you for this. You exceptional

Super, super, SUPER!

Wow ! I´m speechless. Absolutely perfect . The best performance I´ve ever seen . I wish my father was alive to watch it . He was an amateur classic guitar player and La catedral was one his favorite . Congrats !

The best performance of La Catedral whit I know , sensibility, acuraci and powerful

These dynamics are breathtaking.

Magnifique interprétation 😍

This is incredible. Its like every note is a stroke of a paintbrush, and through the course of a piece he paints a picture. One of my new goal is to at some point in my life be half as talented as this guy. Amazing.

I think undoubtedly the best version here on youtube!

absolutely beautiful! This can NOT get any better than that...bravo!

This is the very best interpretation that i have listened, Denis Azabagic is a Master

Unbelieveble!

I secretly constituted my arbitrary TOP50 of classical guitar on KZfaq. So many wonders. And His Excellence Denis Azabagic arrived in first place with this amazing Catedral.

Ace Combat 4 (Ps2) Brought me here. Like this was so good. Best on KZfaq? probably!! aha. :3

This is perfectly La Catedral playing

I don't know why anyone can dislike this song may b it is so sad but more I listen and more sad I become I wana hear more n more

Le top!!! llLa plus belle cathédrale du monde BRAVOS !!!!

légendaire,imposant comme la plus belle et grande cathédrale.

esta es la mejor interpretacion q he visto en mi vida de esta pieza

In our times, these are the only things can make us feel like we are in heaven! Thanks Melbay

this guy lived and had his sleep with this piece, he plays what he feels in the piece, and that's where the magic in his play lies. think about that

Absolutely superb,the right hand could not be better !

One of the best!! Awesome!!!!

Bravo, bravo, bravo!!!! Meus parabéns amado músico. Não me canso de lhe ouvir tocar e sentir com você através de sua expressões faciais e corporais o quanto o sons das cordas do violão lhe comove; e desta maneira todos nós. Uma inspiração para mim. Obrigado

I could feel the sorrow and sadness that reflect human tragedy through Bosnian war as Mr. Azabagic is a Bosnian himself!

A virtuoso performance.

La verdad mis respetos..es una pieza perfecta..muy bella para mi gusto..y pues la interpretacion de usted es magnifica..felicidades

One of the finest pieces of guitar on the web xxx

com certeza a melhor interpretação que existe dessa música é desse cara...... só tem uma palavra que pode descrever essa execução: PERFEIÇAO ....

I have listened to many versions of this piece now and I still come back to this interpretation and consider it the best I have heard, it is beautiful.

Talking about interpretation - I think anybody with a ear must have noticed this guy's interpretation is one of the BEST, no matter who you compare to~~ Bravo~~~

OMG!!!!!! so great! without words!

eveces cuesta trabajo creer que melodias tan extraordinarias y "magicas" puedan salir de la guitarra no por nada adoro los instrumentos de cuerda en general

Denis, this is simply gorgeous. Artistry is wholly appropriate where you are concerned. Richard Sayage - Savage Classical Guitar

lovely touch this guitarist has...beautiful tone..

ultimate master for this barios piece ...truly up among the top 3 nice

Interpretación de muy alto nivel. 👍✔

Obra maestra,genialmente interpretada,gracias y felicitaciones!!!

ive been playing the spanish guitar for over 29 years and have seen so many performances in that times, but OMG this guy has a real flare for feeling and expression in his performance. 5 stars big time! such soft and expressive tune.

i love this piece and that was outstanding. Bravo

Stunning!!!

Clean, gorgeous playing. Flawless tone.

Denis Azabagic really makes of this piece a magic moment . It's HIS piece , the best interpretation I've ever seen .

Augustin Barrios Mangore, La Catedral and Denis Azabagic I will remember it forever. just AWSOME

Single hand harmonics, Super impressive.

Love it! I want to learn this now
