There is some magic when a peice can be heard multiple times without being boring and for the sake of music. This is for me a good example. Its rare! Even me being a guitarrist, most often I find this on piano or violin masterpieces by Rachmaninoff, Brahms, Dvojak... This piece by Brouwer, with this incredible interpretation by Ricardo, is really something above the average by far. Music for music. Not just: see how I play well. Look at my technique!

Listening a Brouwer's composition it's always refreshing. Listen it played by Ricardo Gallen it's even better

0:13 - I 5:23 - II 9:33 - III 15:45 - IV

Beautiful playing, amazing composition. Bravo!

Ricardo, the best forever

Fantastic performance!

SUPERB PLAYING STYLE !

Gallen is mostly brilliant....but that guitar is also just fabulous...

Esto no es para el público, es para "El Pensador", música genial, interpretación genial ( sin pretender alabanza), es inspirador este video ;)

Obra llevada a la altísima performance. Gran obra, gran intérprete.

¡Excelente obra y excelente interpretación!. Que bueno ver como se va enriqueciendo el repertorio de la guitarra con obras como estas.

Ridiculously good

The sheet music says arm. XII at measures 2 and 104 (0.27 and 4:28) but instead he plays them at VII with his nose. Guess I was reading it wrong- :D

Beautiful and exquisite. Que guitarra es esta?Paco Santiago Marín??

Superb and Brouwer seems to suit your playing, playing on your lap is virtually unheard of these days for CG I’m for it but for the skeletal and muscular problems it might create I’m against also how it might restrict your ability to express a piece with body/mind/spirit fully, not lacking here though. Technically you surpass anything I can ever dream of anyway.

Cross legged is nothing wrong, if it's comfortable for some, then no issue. Why talk about it? It's even handy when you're around without a footstool, and about to play the guitar.

Strange music ! 🤔😃
