An American in Paris — Jerry Mulligan (Gene Kelly) wants to sell some paintings
Jerry Mulligan (Gene Kelly), a struggling American painter in Paris, is "discovered" by an influential heiress (Nina Foch) with an interest in more than Jerry's art. Jerry, however, falls for Lise (Leslie Caron), a young French girl already engaged to a cabaret singer. Jerry jokes, paints, sings and dances with his best friend, an acerbic would-be concert pianist (Oscar Levant), while romantic complications abound ...

I've made this movie as an exercise. It's an adaptation of the poem 'The Perfect Symbol', by Louis Johnson, about a Giotto, who was once approached by pope to paint a picture worthy of him.

Painting in Australia he creates a magical mood in his watercolours as he paints a Melbourne street in the evening light and captures the atmosphere of coastal scenes along the Great Ocean Road. He also paints a stunning panorama of the Yarra Valley an...

I don't think many people appreciate the level of humility it requires for a world class musician to say he's "taking lessons" from another world class musician. I adore Segovia, but it would be unthinkable for someone with his character to say he was taking lessons from anyone.
4:12 search youtube for Granada by Albeniz for many examples of the awful liberties classical guitarists take with Spanish music
Anyone understand the moment at 0:35 ? Jerry walks past the painter with the cigar and stops dead for a moment before shrugging and continuing on. Is he meant to look like someone famous?
Deux dieu de la guitare
John Williams play Asturias better than any superb spanish classical guitarrist , better than Pepe Romero , Yepez , Segovia , anyone !
The finalizing of this piece together will soon celebrate 25 years in the making… We’re still on the outlook for the release : (
Honestly, I think John Williams should have tried to learn real flamenco if he liked it so much. Those classical pieces are influenced by flamenco, they are not really flamenco pieces.
It's so different. The classical version by Bream savours the notes, the traditional version orchestrated by Peña here, emphasises the rhythm, exuberance and buoyancy.

Sarebbe bello un video nel quale il brano "Sevilla " sia oltre che suonato con le chitarre, danzato col suo naturale ritmo flamenco. In questo video i chitarristi e la ballerina hanno dato l 'idea di come allestire un delizioso spettacolo.
She was playing the "older woman" who was desperate for a man. Meanwhile, she was 35 and smoking hot. Kelly was actually 40 at the time (but playing the part of a 30 year old). And his love interest Leslie Caron was 20. 1950's sensibilities.
Always laughed at how Kelly's character picked Leslie Caron over Nina Foch... its a movie of course, and that's the reason, but there's really no comparison. Remember seeing this the first time after hearing about Kelly's new Parisian find and instead having Foch steal my attention. Same happened years later watching "Unholy Partners" to see Laraine Day, and instead having Marsha Hunt steal the film.
@@waldolydecker8118 That's how I feel about Singing in the Rain. Everyone raves about Kelly and Reynolds but my favourite scenes are the ones with Jean Hagen. She was totally brilliant as Lina Lamont.
@@MsJackrussell2 - Agree, Hagen should have won the Oscar, but everyone was fascinated with Gloria Grahame at the time, so she probably didn't have a chance. Studio Head R.F. Simpson uttered my favorite line from Singin' in the Rain..."but don't tell Lina!!"
@@waldolydecker8118 I like Gloria but it was ridiculous that she won the Oscar for TBATB when she was barely on screen! Hagen was such a versatile actress--her performance in the Asphalt Jungle was very touching. My favourite Lina line is: "Why I make more money than Calvin Coolidge--put together."
This isn't an original idea. Sabicas had already recorded it as a Sevillana.
2 greatest guitarists, like best of friends, and living very close to each other, amazing job
Interesting how, when Williams switches from playing classical to flamenco, he moves the guitar from his left to right leg. Fascinating.
It just feels right strumming the guitar on the right lap
0:40 BEAUTIFUL SCENE OF SACRE COUER AND BACK STREETS🌹🌹🌹
0:14 paying level 10000 Singing level -100😂
20 years ago i intruduced my sisters to john william's sevilla record (from napster)... their reactions were: "it sounds like piano" and ''it's definitely 2 guys playing''...
세계에서 가장 유명한 기타리스트들 중에 두분이 동시에 세비야 연주를 들려주시니까 정말 최고의 연주라는 생걱이 드네요.
I pity Milo so much. It's interesting to see how different she looks to a modern eye
thought that was Paco de Lucia
I know Pena is a god at flamenco and John is very good at classical guitar. But for Pena to say John is the best when Julian literally revived Spanish guitar is sorta silly. Bream's version of this piece is so full of feeling and John's live performance at the end feels rushed. Idk.
Bream is the best. For me he is the only one who plays this piece as it was meant to be played
@@hideare personal opinion… Williams playing Albeniz and Granados to me keeps the rhythm going more solidly than Bream but that’s just my opinion. It happens to be Paco Peña’s too he just said he found classical guitarists and indeed Spanish classical guitarists playing Spanish music take a lot of liberties with Rhythm that Williams does not. You just don’t like it because you prefer Bream and that’s fine!!!
@@bd1845 you may be right. I adore Bream. I love paco also. But in his playing i only hear traditional flamenco, in Bream, i hear something more, which i think was Albeniz's intention. Sorry if my comment seems arrogant. That was not my intention. I love them all.
Two of my favourite guitarists _ever_ Both guitar Gods in their own right. Paco Pena was such an influence to me as a little boy who was trying to replicate his orchestral rhythmical sound when I had no idea what flamenco was about. He opened the door for me. John Williams just inspired me to be fluid and accurate with feeling. I think it so cool that these two cats know each other and hang out together.
Nice footage , thanks a lot
Exelente los dos. Que bueno descubrirlos gracias a lo que hicieron junto a al grupo Chileno Inti-Illimani.
Simply two of the greatest of all time
John Williams is incredible but my one hang up with him is that unlike Bream he didn't commission pieces for the guitar by great composers and didn't even seem to even try. I love that he rediscovered Barrios but I just wonder why he hasn't pushed for more new pieces for the guitar by some of the greats. Pity because Bream brought so much more to the repertoire.
Sadly a lot of that repertoire is never played not because no one can but it’s not very memorable. Have you actually sat and listened to the Henze Royal Winter Music!!! I think with Williams and I agree somewhat with you but he’s just if you write a piece then do it not because I’m asking you, he has had a lot of pieces written for him down the years too though.
Todos los guitarristas clásicos desean tocar flamenco en algún momento de sus vidas.
Viva el flamenco y su toque
Spectacular! What the name of the song in the beginning? I wanna play it!!!
The song is "Sevilla" by Isaac Albeniz. You can download the score at musescore.com/emperoni/sevilla
Profound observations they've overheard?? Sounds more like college kids today
Nah, college kid’s today don’t even listen. Too busy with their cell phone in their face. 🤣
Lois lane blocking his sunlight.
From 2:15 : he says 'it is a dance'....no it's not a dance, it's a classical composition where one is free to vary the rhythm. Alicia De Larrocha does this and, more to the point, John Williams does this himself in his 1964 recording, which, as a matter of fact, IMHO has much more fire and passion (and therefore Spanish character) than his later, rather tame version (of 1981). It's funny that he plays a fragment in the style of his 1964 recording (a bit exaggerated though) and than says 'it is awful'...
You are right; it is a classical composition. If he wanted dance, he should play in the flamenco style with the dancer, so that the music adds to the dance performance. However, with John Williams there is a caveat: he is a great interpreter of classical music, but a bad improviser. He wanted to go somewhere else from the purely classical approach, somewhere "in between dance and classical", and obviously needed some help. Paco Pena, on the other hand, is no classical guitarist therefore John needed much careful thought what to add to the classical piece that it does not sound brash and overly percussive like flamenco does. I heard his performance based on this approach, recorded in Monsalvat, Victoria, and it is rather interesting.
It’s an extremely humble thing John is admitting and doing in this clip. This is rare in classical guitar world. Note he can’t keep time through the entire piece, barely makes a page of it before falling off. It’s not about the actual dance, rather it’s about the rhythm the dance is based on. Anyway, the real dance is several clicks slower (the girl is dancing the actual dance in the clip). But again, few classical players admit to timing errors, rather make excuses to justify their interpretation.
PixelMagic, I put a comment under yours on Chooka Parker's interview with Today/Tonight. Hope you read it and see how he's going today! (Chooka's Mum)
John and Paco, after 4 years I am writing another comment... May we please hear the Sevillana style with Sevilla woven into it? I wish I could find the whole piece played by these two Masters
I think this rendition is close to John's idea of infusing the classical style with the dance rhythm of the flamenco of Seviliana: → ua-cam.com/video/D5wpEN6DEdY/v-deo.html
"Milo Roberts.""Milo?" "Yes. As in "Venus de...""Also smart dialogue!!

watercolor painting
Look at Milo checking out Jerry's "assets." Who can blame her?
this is Albeniz...classical music...not flamenco. listen to Bream. that is how its meant to be played.
hideare it is based on a flamenco dance. A sevillana. Williams gets the true spirit of the piece.
Juan Antonio Zuleta as you said, it is "based" on flamenco. Williams plays it like it is flamenco. Bream explains it in one of his interviews that Albeniz never intended to reproduce flamenco on piano, but to enhance it by classical piano style, and that means you do not play it in flamenco rhythm, as paco pena says rhythm is the key here and traditional rhythm is how this piece is NOT meant to be played. As simple as that.
hideare that is Bream’s interpretation of Albeniz’ intent. I believe Williams is correct. It is a Sevillana. A dance and Bream plays it the Segovia style, breaking the rhythm completely.
@@juanantoniozuleta6575 if you want to know Albeniz's intent, you should know that he composed it for piano. Listen to piano performances and see if they play it like williams or bream. Then think again please. Albeniz composition is not about rhythm at all.
hideare that it was composed for piano is common knowledge. You los seen to five piano players and you get five different interpretations...but it is still a sevillana. Williams ad Peña understand that perfectly.
grow the fuck up! watercolor is for third graders! not master painters!
Does anyone know when this interview was recorded?
Knut-Martin Rasmussen early 90s
a flamenco sevillana is quite another thing with rigid pulsing rhythm (originally played as accompaniment for singers and dance). The music of Albeniz, Granados, Turina etc. has a different background
Anyone else cried from happiness while watching this?
what a beautiful quality of 240p
Master!!! Enough said.
perfection
Compare how the right hand of Paco and John is moving. That's the difference you have to born with it. A very difficult thing if you're not Spanish.
Very true..Spanish people are known for their extra 47th ''flamenco'' chromosome which includes the infamous ''rasqueado'' gene
tooooop
does anyone know the name of the song at the very beginning?
idk
It's Sevilla by Isaac Albeniz
john williams..composer of several amazing soundtracks? or is it another guy with the same name??
aaahh thanks,. all these years i thought " he plays like a beast and he alzó writes music for films" xD...
The latter!:)
Two John Williams, 1) American film composer (StarWars, sci fi epics, won Oscars) 2) Australian Classical Guitarist, one if three favored by maestro Andres Segovia. This John Williams is one of the best of our era, globally famous. I admire both men for their professional contributions.
