I've been listening to these Preludes for decades -- the first 12 since college in the 70s. They've been absolute favorites of mine since the first hearing (John Williams doing the 12 and some Torroba on an album) -- they were the first pieces that made me love classical guitar. They were among the first that I tried to play when I began to learn. I've heard dozens of great players perform them since that first album (and I had since seen Williams do them live). Some are "desert island" pieces for me. Some I've liked -- a little less; and a few I didn't really care for. But hearing YOU interpret them, it's like I've never heard them before! Ones that just didn't attract me I finally really hear, 50 years later, and they are now favorites. Some of the ones that were already my most loved pieces in the world, I just burst out laughing at how wonderfully different and fresh and new they are to me now and I hear so much and so many nuances that I just never picked up before just because of how you phrase them and relate structures that I just hadn't related before: I see their structure in a way *no* guitarist has made me see them before in all these years. Now my old favorites are now dazzling NEW favorites. I could never be "bored" with the Ponce Preludes, but I did think I had heard everything there was to hear in them since that first time in the dorm room at 17. Now, at 71, you have given me 24 NEW PONCE PRELUDES and I love all 24! I can't tell you what that means to me or how to thank you for this splendid gift. Just know that I'll listen to your interpretation and superb playing a dozen times and I hope it will be enough to say that now, after years, I can't wait to grab my old Ramirez and get to know them again as if for the first time. I don't have words to give you higher honor than that.
Thank you so much for such personal touching feedback. I'm so glad that you enjoy them. These little compositions are like microcosm. Everything is included in them. All the best to you and your Ramirez 🤗
@@annapietrzak1 I concur with @googiwaumer I've worked on a couple of these in the past but didn't really understand what they were trying to convey. Back in college, as a music major, I had to learn all six of the Easy Preludes by Ponce, which is when I first discovered his works. Ever since, I've been listening to his music. Being that I am also Mexican, like Ponce, I'm often trying to add some Ponce works into my performance repertoire. Unfortunately, some of his works I just can't get into, such as some of these preludes. However, your interpretation has given new meaning to the 24 preludes. You've given me new inspiration to work on these preludes, especially since I get a better understanding of how to interpret them, thanks to you. You've got a great gift and I'm very grateful for the work you've done with these preludes.
Rare enregistrement de l'intégral des préludes de M Ponce ,joués avec finesse et talent par cette artiste de qualité! Merci de cette bonne idée !!!! si je ne me trompe le guitariste Français Gérard Abiton a enregistré l'intégrale de M Ponce !!!!
Thank you. I thought of the idea of playing the entire set, as I realized that some of the Preludes are relatively unknown, and very rarely played. It's a wonderful experience for a performer to play the complete cycle, traversing through all the different keys, with their myriad of colours and moods.
This was so lovely to hear these Preludes performed as a complete set. Your interpretation is quite nice. It is always great to hear you play. Thank you for posting this video!
Very nicely played. I also like the pitch black background and the dark sacks and flowery blouse complimented by a lovely woman with an exquisite looking unique guitar. The setting is a work of art to frame a lovely performance.
Excelente interpretação dessa sequência de prelúdios - "essas pequenas pérolas sonoras" - de Manuel Maria Ponce. Você soube envolver cada peça com um sentimento único, autêntico, fazendo com que cada prelúdio soasse como uma bela paisagem... Muito bom!... Parabéns e sucesso!👏🌹
Me puese a escuchar otros videos y encontré que todo el canal tiene hermosas interpretaciones y un exquisito gusto. Gracias Anna Pietrzak. I listened to other videos and found that the whole channel has beautiful renditions and exquisite selecton and taste. Thank you Anna Pietrzak. (A new subscriber)
Great guitar playing, very nice 👏I'm learning two of these myself. It's nice to see and hear how every performer plays it a bit differently, though it's the same prelude. Great job 👍
Thank you, Domink. This is so extraordinary in the music that we can express the same piece in so many different ways because each of us has a different sensitivity. All the best to you !!!
Amazing playing and very inspiring Anna, thank you! When I was studying classical guitar in university, I studied and played preludes 1, 2, 5, and 7 for a recital and fell in love with Ponce. Now that I’ve gotten back into playing almost 20 years later, I’m trying to find this sheet music of all 24 of these preludes and having a bit of a hard time finding them. May I ask which version you’re playing, the Ponce or Segovia transcription?

Thank you. I recorded the manuscript edited by Miguel Alcázar. Let me know if you need some help.
@@annapietrzak1 Excellent, thank you so much! I greatly appreciate it. Cheers!
Ponce inspirawał Pendereckiego?... Bajeczny dźwięk i technika ale kompozycji nie da się stawić na trzeźwo.
A tempo, please.
Show us how it’s done.
Thoroughly enjoyable reading of the beautiful miniatures! Thank you!
