This is such an awesome rendition of Vals No.3 Opus 8 by Barrios. He is not PdL but he can play the guitar too...checkout the harmonics hehe. And how he grabs those barres ... If you search there is another vid from David Russell from this song.
RE: John Williams playing Barrios Ma... (in reply to XXX)
The David Russell(that is on the that video list also) version is amazing as well. I have a number of his albums and he is one of my favourite guitarists. He does a Celtic album which is fantastic. He is a fellow Scot like myself. Although brought up in Spain.

Hey were is Isaac. Notice I did not say anything bad! And if you check off topic, I loaded the Williams Bream duet of M. de Falla I thought was very good, and that was a while back.

I think bach and barrios music is really good to practice flamenco exercises.
LoL, i dont know if you can regard those full pieces of music as an exercize for flamenco. But maybe you meant the technique required, or playing stlye for them are similar to flamenco? Yeah i think i understand what you wanna say. Barrios is somehow different from other classical. I dont know, more "emotional"? Why am I askin? Who cares? I love Bach! Da-di-do-di da-da, Di-do-di-da-da... learning a minuet in minor at the moment. But it would be much cooler to be able to play it on piano. We have only the thumb, one single note for the bass, piano has 3,4,5
