Best guitarist i have heard so far. I completely agree. Please check her interpretation of barrios la catedral, seems ridiculously easy and flowing

I agree!

I have it on 'good advice' that the dislikes are the wicked work of the sexists. Damn those sexists !!

It's possible some Chopin conniseurs didn't like the arrangement or possibly some people didn't like the staccato phrasing. It is masterful playing in spite of any stylistic disagreements.

@@chriseliothernandez I find the arrangement a bit too simplified, but her playing totally makes up for it.

I feel the same, just recently discovered her. I cannot stop listening, gives me goosebumps..

Segovia's performance was also great, but in a different way.

@@Olegstuff21986 I just read an interview with her after a performance here in the US and she explains exactly how I hear her playing, how she becomes one with the guitar, her baby and how she purposely projects that soft, non-metallic sound. so she projects a musical and emotional sound that in addition also catches your attention and pulls you in. it did exactly that to me.There seems no effort at all with the technique. She is truly amazing, very hard to listen to others after listening to her. I saw Segovia in the '80s and then his last concert in NYC. He was great and he would have been very very proud of Irina.. there are many great recordings, but very few actual performers like her...

AMAZING!

I can't stop watching it. every morning, all during the day, in the car...

It's a Ramírez guitar, one of the best in the world.

number 1 in my book. There are many technically great, musically good but she grabs you as an audience. I am not sure how many times I listened to it, but I have to play it every day. Preferably in the morning and at noon and finish with the California Suite...I can't let it go...

May not be, but this is sweet too: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZsWCoc-AvNO-dGg.html

I agrée. She is technically perfect. I would comparé her to Horowitz in piano. She Matter si perfectly her technique that she can express the beauty of music. Thank you to KZfaq that offer us all kinds of performers, bad or good.

And so expressive...😍💗

Her guitar is of a very high quality make, last year she recorded a playing of this piece with a different guitar, with better video and audio quality however this version, according to the views remains more popular.

I totally agree with you! Oh and it's a 664 scale so it's even more impressive lol She's incredibly good!

Enjoy! Yup- have a ‘78 1A Blue Label. Great overtones and characteristic high action. Have heard the late 60’s models stamped with either AM or MM are especially prized. Oh well at least I have mine.

I support this request haha. I'd love to at least try to play this

I agree that Segovia would be proud and probably more than a little jealous - let's face it, that performance was Top Class 1A. Absolutely wonderful and I've watched it many times it's sooo intoxicating. For all those who dogmatically abhor cedar tops take a listen/look at this beautiful, lovely maturing instrument. For lack of a better analogy (like a fine wine) these instruments have the benefit of being 'the gift that keeps on giving' as we can open that case anytime whereas with wine you have to leave the bottle corked.

@@Skinny_Karlos I don't know about jealous, Segovia's interpretation is magnificent as well, but in a different way.

@FÜHER FROG I disagree, his style is still unique. Guitarists these days don't sound like Segovia.

@@Olegstuff21986 That wasn't meant to be taken literally. It might be a cultural thing but a statement like that, even in txt, one can almost see the speaker's facial expressions and the tone used. It was tongue in cheek. No drama. Having said that though Segoviawas a registered dogmatic who had two ways of doing things, his way and the wrong way. Barrios fairly freaked him out with his playing and improvisation and I don't mean in a good way. The guitar wouldn't be where it is now without A.S' work early last century, well indeed his entire life. He didn't ever take competition well, and jealously guarded his self appointed place at the top of the heap, though, imo, Barrios was a far better player, no question a better composer and improviser. He just didn't get the promotional help that A.S did. Could you imagine anything as beautiful as 'Sueno' coming from Segovia's pen?

Como era Segovia, le hubiera dado envidia.

Siempre veo tus comentarios :v

She gave a lot of people depression/self-esteem issues with this video

Probably pianists.

LOL ;-)

or sexists

Luisa Pinheiro Ohhhh nooo, not those sexists. Just like anti semites there seems to be soooo many more of them these days, hey ?
