Sensitive interpretation. I like the bright  sound.

Looks like very closely spaced strings - easier or harder for left/right hand I wonder ?

And very rare to hear a historic Spanish guitar and gut strings :-)

it would have sound even better and more sweet, had he played with no nails. But its played well and with passion. Nice

"The Andante Largo Op.5, No.5, one of the most beautiful compositions for guitar solo by Fernando Sor (1778-1839) here performed on a 1834 Spanish period guitar strung with strings of plain gut for the trebles and silver wound silk for the basses. The position of the guitar placed on the edge of a table is done so according to the principles pointed out by Fernando Sor in his Tutor published in Paris (1830) as the 'Méthode pour la Guitare, par Ferdinand Sor'. Enjoy!"
