クラシック以外の世界中の全ギタリストの方にもこの動画を観ていただきたいですね。いったいどんなリアクションをされるのか観てみたいです。
バイオリンのひまりちゃんもそうだと思いますが
山下和仁さんはどう考えても天才だと思います。
それ以外の大半のプロの演奏家がどんなに努力をし練習を積んでも到底することのできない演奏をされていると思います。
他の演奏家の方が出せない音も出していると思います。
いったい何種類の音色を奏でているのかと数えたくなるほどに(笑)
もはやそれは『天才』だから
と言う事以外に理由が見つからないです。
この動画は出来るだけ多くの音楽を愛する方に観ていただきたいと思います。
展覧会の絵と言う名組曲が素晴らしい作品だと言うことを
山下和仁さんの演奏、そしてやはり
山下和仁さんの天才的な編曲
これで再確認させられる演奏だと思います。

A man possessed. His complete immersion into the music and the guitar itself is incredible. His technique is phenomenal, especially his right hand. Not many can extract this much sound from a classical guitar.
@Jimmy.Williams
This is probably THE most amazing classical guitar performance I've ever seen. Can't imagine what it must have been like to see it live.
@chrisfireymusic
He gives me the feeling only select master pianists give me, that I’m hearing a world of orchestration and a total dissolution into the music.
@arianluna4548
My God! He just “killed” everyone ! Such staggering command of his instrument. He just stamped his mark as if to say “ this is how it should be played”
@thadtuiol1717
Dude shreds the classical guitar rule book for posture by flinging his body all over the place, flying left elbow, overextending both the right and left hands, hunching his shoulders, etc. and produces one of the most amazing performances ever. So much for rule books!
@elementsofphysicalreality
This is pretty fucking amazing. This dude should be a multi millionaire. His wealth turned into optimization turned into us normal humans feeling enriched. Sadly we don’t live in that world. We created a world where we feel better about ourselves and turn a cold shoulder to the true beings of prosperity like this man. I see it. He’s maxed out. We can all learn from the hard work and determination it took to pull this off.

Even after 45 years no other guitarist plays it better than him.
@King86Floyd
This is the upper limit of classical guitar playing for human.
@MottiShneor
Who do you call human here? This is godly rendition.
@mrkrud
Pictures at an Exhibition is such a wonderful immersive piece and I have never seen someone bring it to life so well by just using a single instrument. I can almost feel the gnome staring at me, crouched behind a stalagmite with classical guitar in hand!!! Amazing!!!
