One of my favourite pianists of the younger generation giving a wonderfully mature interpretation of Brahms 1.

It was literally a winning performance. Remember seeing him on tv, staying with a family in Leeds and practising.

Looks like he recently recorded both concertos with the same people.

Hector Ayala - Guarania



Any thoughts on the guitar sound?

It sounds quite clear for a cedar top. Is it a double-top?

Yes it is a double top with high grade cedar and ziricote back & sides. It also has a double back.

Do you like how it sounds? To me it also sounds clear, with a decent amount of low end.

For the most part. Double tops impart a unique tone...somewhat restricted in tonal colors compared to fan-braced, but they have a nice sense of evenness. I guess it's a trade-off! Overall, I prefer the sound of Hauser-based fan-braced guitars like my Randy Angella.

Yeah, he recorded both recently. There are also some videos of him giving a recital in Korea. Some of the most electric Beethoven that I have seen live, especially the Appassionata.

Thanks, I quite like the Hauser sound very vibrant but I am new to classical guitar and looking for something more entry level. What do you think about the Cordoba solid wood C10 or C12 (lattice braced) or do you have any other suggestions.

Cheers, I will check it out.

Apparently, Appassionata was the only piece Chopin liked from Beethoven. He would play it over & over again but he didn't care for anything else he wrote.

There are conflicting accounts. It is often said Chopin was appreciative of Beethoven's ability as a composer, but didn't appreciate the temperamental nature of his works, he found Beethoven to lack subtlety. God knows, Appassionata is about as Beethovenesque as it gets, but I definitely prefer playing Chopin. Beethoven falls horribly under the fingers and maybe Chopin was the same
