What a wonderful program and excellent performance! I've heard some of these pieces performed by him and he always plays them differently. This is the highest level of skill and musical intelligence. I was very impressed that the concert was broadcast online. Few people have such courage to play such a complex program live. Bravissimo, Mark!

Marco is like a fly, he flies wherever there is a competition? So annoying! All old songs, no improvement in skills, but more and more competitions! Is it for money or for internet fame? Every game he wins is a consolation prize (sympathy for Ukraine being invaded). This is actually disrespectful to music. GFA is playing politics, it should stop!

Young guitarists today defy (and demolish) conventional wisdom about what can or cannot be played on our instrument. When I was studying classical guitar in my youth I would not have hesitated to call stupid someone at the sole mention that the parts of Bach´s BWV 826 played so masterfully played here would some day be included in concert repertoire. This is so amazing to listen to! My warmest congratulations to this generation of guitarists, and my admiration to Maestro Topchii!!!

Estoy feliz de que existan estos eventos que apoyan a guitarristas de todo el mundo, y pienso que la mejor forma de agradecer es disfrutándolos. Leonela se adueñó del escenario, Hao fue electrizante, Dragos interesante, y Luis mostró una gran sensibilidad. Maravillosos guitarristas que nos regalaron una competencia de alto nivel. Disfruté de cada uno de ellos, incluso de aquellos que no pudieron avanzar. Estuvieron estupendos. ¡Muchas felicitaciones y gracias!

The Maw piece, while impressive in length etc. is not the most likeable of pieces, as are many 20th and 21st century pieces written for the classical guitar...with the purpose of being 'serious' music...often rasguego-fuelled, referential, rhetorical and even ironic....the guitar responds better with love, IMHO.....with its limited dynamic range, when presented with large compositional canvases of sound the classical guitar can often 'lose' the listener...

Yeah, that's why the majority of those men rooted for Hao... Dear, you are brainwashed and poisoned with hatred. Notice, you are the only one who brought this nonsense rivalry between genders here with no reason what-so-ever. If you were to find people who spread this bs gender hate so YOU are the one. I understand it's quite comfy to make yourself a fake victim and complain everywhere you go with no reason. Clean your mind and stop using Instagram so much. Btw I see the exact opposite story... average female players get the recognition on YT because of their beautiful face but not the skills. This is totally disgusting and unfair towards real masters and even female players who are not that attractive and don't get the same recognition because of that. But this is a true reason to blame man who lie, praise mediocrity and seems like are ready to sell their own mother for a bit of attention from good looking woman. Not good, not good...

Contention with the first prize has nothing to do with her being a female, many women have won before without protest. The winner of GFA has been disputed almost every year (male or female) and regardless, everyone is allowed an opinion regardless of who it's towards or how ruthless it is. It's a public competition on a public forum. Now that the competition is live streamed, more people are able to voice that opinion however they want. There is a lot at stake with this competition as well (money spent, money won, prizes etc.) and unless you've experienced that, I can only see your take is fascist and idealist at best.

After listening to the 4 finalists I think all of them were great, but in the end what I can really hear (read) is a huge bunch of cry babies. These are young artists doing their best to express their artistry in a classical guitar competition. All of your derogatory comments what can really do is discourage other future artist to take seriously their careers. Also, if your judgement comes exclusively from what you can hear from an online audio source.......my best advise for all of you is to work hard and see if you can make it to be part of the jury for next year. Now, you can go and call the manager.

We'll see. We are talking about the most important classical guitar competition globally. All the people who enter are professionals with a very high level of play, if someone does not win the first prize they should be mature enough to accept it. The problem is that clearly someone superior at a technical and interpretive level did not win first prize, what is the point of a contest if not to reward people for their performance? For that, they better give everyone a first prize and then we all go home happy, don't you think? Mature.

@@MultiSpartan24 Again, your opinion is based (unless you were sitting there) on an online audio that doesn't show exactly what happened. If you think it does, then I have nothing else to discuss. They judges were the ones who truly listened to the finalists and could appreciate the musicality and expression of every single performance, besides the technical aspects of the total repertoire and the control they had overall. Maybe a "People's Choice Award" may suit the online experts better.
