Your Favourite Classical Guitar Pieces

la entrada de Bilbao - Jose Feliciano

and the Deer Hunter theme - wats it cald? Cavatina or sumthin like dat ...?
 
Oh! That's my exam piece... Very difficult to play one (my teacher also think so) Some people call this BWV 1006 a lute suite and some call it a violin partita coz J.S Bach wrote this BWV1006 for the violin & lute. That's why on the guitar we call it lute suite no 4 but for violin players they know this piece as violin partita no 3. The lute suite is being played slower than on the violin (the lute is even harder to play compared to the guitar)
John williams is a masculine player. Try this feminine player on a violin!
 
Interesting facts. The violin version is nice too, more "dramatic" due to the inherent nature of the violin. Prefer the guitar version of prelude though, more soothing, it just cascades and cascades ever so smoothly.
 
Tarrega

I remember being greatly inspired to play Adelita by Tarrega when i started learning classical guitar, after hearing my teacher play it once in class. It was the second piece that so motivated me, after Romance de Amor. The opening bars of slurs are magical enough, then the trills in the following section. Such nice melodies. I guess pieces like these kept people carry on learning classical guitar.

Btw, at a later point in time, i learned that Adelita is a lady's name, a local guitar master told me this. Tarrega liked to name his pieces after ladies.

0:44 (beautiful slurs)
1:26 (nice trills)

Here's another beautiful piece by Tarrega, a much more difficult piece than Adelita.

Capricio Arabe – played by Julian Bream (superimposed with some narration by Julian Bream)

0:44 min(start here if you find the first part too draggy/slow.You will surely like this part)
1:30 min (the magic really hits you, it's charming from here onwards)

Was a member of the ACS(Independent) guitar ensemble for 4 years. If ensemble pieces can be counted, i like:

El Bimbo, Claude Morgan
Scherzino Mexicano, Manuel Ponce
Jalousie, can't remember the composer
Sevilla
Rachmaninov's Prelude in G Minor, rearranged for guitar by one of the seniors
 
1) Leyenda by Albeniz

2) Recuerdos de la Alhambra by Tarrega
This is the real tremelo, before there exist tremelo pedals.

3) Cavatina (Deer Hunter theme)

4) Air on a "G" String (John William version)

5) Romance de Armor (the tremelo version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7O2tD3imy8)

6) Marriage de Armor
 
^ Yeah, I love the guitar version. It is one of those few (sadly) pieces that I can play during those classical guitar ensemble days in JC. The story was that I heard someone play Marriage de Amor on the piano, and the pianist remarked that the classical guitar can never play as well as the piano. In response, I decided to challenge her, thus I went to learn to play Marriage de Amor.
