What is great about your videos is not just the articulation of someone who plays and thus knows what it takes, but it's your generosity, your non-ego sheer appreciation of all music and all techniques.
@@wingsofpegasus Enjoying your videos muchly. Can I draw your attention to a guy called Dick Appleton ? I would be interested to hear your comments on his playing. Cheers
Every bit of her playing was intoxicating, and the way she held the guitar it was like she was holding her lover. What a great video and what a great analysis!
I think she IS holding her lover, Greg! And intoxicating was the perfect word for her performance on this piece. I hope this analysis helps bring her more of the recognition she truly deserves.
@Steve I'm right there with you and hoping she gets a hell of a lot more recognition which hopefully will bring her more subscribers and followers! That One Singular break they can push her over the top!!!!
Someone of this ability not being paid attention to... So right and sad... I have been a guitarist for a long time before becoming the opera singer and conductor many know, and I know what it takes, as you rightly said, years of super hard work on top of that God given talent! Tears of joy for her playing and for the hope in the future generations she clearly represents!
There's a longing in the piece I hadn't noticed before. The simple initial chord and the pause after grabs my heart to an extent that I'm fighting back tears on public transportation.
Thank you for being so enthusiastic about music, and giving a nod to another gifted spirit of musical talent. Her playing was as beautiful as the piece itself. My son is a multi-instrumental young man, and I USED TO play a number of instruments as well. Not only are you spotlighting people who inspire others, your appreciate of music will inspire people to value music and the Arts as a whole. The world needs a lot more music and all of the Arts! Peace out.
Just so amazing to watch and listen to her.. thank you for your analysis, Fil.. her fingers just wrap around those strings. What a joy to listen to her
She plays beautifully! Your comments are great. I simply love your analyse the performances. It flows in a very expressive playing.. . Amazing. I could listen to her for hours.
I'm continually, wonderfully entertained by your finding these amazing talents. I'm awed that at two minutes or so in, she is stretching to the 17th fret over so many frets, with no cutaway. Wonderful video, and I continue to appreciate *your* appreciation of all kinds of guitar styles. Thumbs up!
I was searching to see if Roxanne had added any more videos and found your review. When I first heard her, I had the same reaction as you where you first broke in, - how will she be able to play those runs -? Having played this piece ( on piano ) when I was younger I know how difficult it is. And she plays it on a guitar!!!! Her technique is astounding, her interpretation is so beautiful. Truly a stunning performance! I hope we hear much more from her.
Roxanne is a terrific guitarist. She plays music the way I hear it & feel it. She is an excellent interpreter. I wish her continued success throughout her life.🎵🎵🎵
I am in absolute awe of her talent! To be able to play with that much feel and precision is incredible! And her finger spread is off the chart! She brings so much life to that guitar.....Awesome! Brilliant vid Fil!😀😀👌👌👌
Absolutely stunning performance! Thank you so much for sharing this player with us, and thank you, Roxane Elfasci (and James Edwards), for treating us with this wonderful rendition of an iconic masterpiece. Steve
Fantastic playing. Her stretches to get those notes are incredible....my hand would break to even try. Like the harmonics too....to consistenly (always) get them is amazing.
So glad this lady was given due credit....Just a thought I had in the early hours- If NASA ever repeat what was done with Voyager having a laser sample disc of Earth music, perhaps in the future Roxane’s exceptional performance of this beautiful masterpiece should be included! I have been listening to great guitarists for more than sixty years and for me Roxane is way up there!
I love the delicacy of the quiet portions and harmonics inserted. It does look rigorous to hold the guitar in that position. Thanks, Fil, for delivering new talents every night. Even though - I am 67- I'm tempted to run thru more health tips, we do appreciate your dedication to your art and widening our horizons.
Fil; this piece take me back to childhood. Clair de lune by Debussy was my Mom favorite classical piece! so I herd it often. Roxane Elfasci, played it flawlessly. if you close your eyes and listen to Roxane, play this piece one might forget that She is playing it on a guitar witch tell you how good She is. another great analysis on another great artist who is not well know. not many who could give great analysis on a vast ray of musical artist as You do Fil.
Jeeze....I'm rather speechless......soft and then like......gently stronger......and to repeat that over and over...without a flaw.....I didn't hear any......your better attuned to notice than I.....to me.....this is like.....pristine......gonna definitely watch/listen/study this repeatedly.Thanks for sharing her talent.....perhaps half your subscribers will agree and subscribe to her...I am.Another gem of a video.
Your critique was excellent. I've been listening to this performance for about two months now, just have to keep going back to it. She plays Arabesque by Debussy also. You provide a very good service to the public, keep it up.
Its as though someone has been watching my play list. I do appreciate your commentary. Roxane was the first to tackle James Edwards composition note for note, and has done it So well. As with Anna, Roxane has the ability to draw out the "essence" of a note at their leisure. Extremely difficult. Top shelf talent is to be shared for the world to see. Your emotional response by the way is genuine, and mirrors that of all honest musicians who "know" the difficulty involved when conveying emotional content in such a moving way. There again thank you very much for the post.
Yup... new to me... now seeking out her few other videos. This is a beautiful arrangement and her expression and precision, both, as you point out, are magnificent.
Oooofff !!! Im still trying to catch my breath. That was the most beautiful version of Claire De Lune Ive ever heard. This lady should be playing at Carnegie Hall NOW ! She is different. I don't quite know how to articulate what Im thinking. This just took me away. Her fingers are so thin and she has such wonderful stretch. I noticed that she holds her guitar differently. It's more upright. I thought it might be on a stand but that would probably change the tone. At one point as she was getting toward the end, she made the guitar sound very resonant, and it became more of a hollow sound, a bit more bassy on the low strings. The ending was just mind blowing and at the very end she strummed up on the strings and that really got me. Im going right over and subscribe to her and let her know what Ive just said. Thank you, Phil, for turning me on to this amazing player. BTW, if you haven't heard it yet, listen to Tomita play this same piece electronically. The ending will take you out into the stars. Seriously.
Sad fact, but a solid 80% of good music isn't discovered and even mentioned because there is so much other stuff. Even if it is an incredible classical piece.
They are everywhere...the reason we are seeing more of this is bc of You Tube and the internet...I play classical. I use to play Classical Gas by mason Williams, Fur Elise by Beethoven...this is beautiful... I love my cat-gut classical...I also play Flamenco 💃 ..look at that stretch!
No puedo creer que hayan cancelado la cuenta de ese video, si alguien lo descargo por favor que lo suba y comparta el link! Es excelente esa interpretación
Really do like the way you compliment these extraordinary players of classical guitar. Can I ask how Roxanne is holding her guitar? Is it because of this piece? Well done for bringing her to people's attention here. Great channel.🙏
Another beautiful woman playing a beautiful piece. Unorthodox positioning to get those higher register notes. It’s like hand yoga for guitar, flawless technique🤟🏻
@@wingsofpegasus + I've been listening to her play this on and off for the past several years & my appreciation for her delivery has only grown over time. Have you listened to her play Roland Dyen's "Fuoco?" The intensity of her style just sweeps away other more technically perfect deliveries, the studio sound engineering is a real pleasure.
Fil, you can keep featuring these women classical guitarists. Just wonderful stuff. Being a 3 chords and an attitude kind of player, I am in awe of the talent. On the subject of one angle being boring. I sit in the same seat, with the same angle, for most every concert and I am rarely bored. Never has anything to do with the angle I'm watching from.
Yeah I think it's to try to appeal to as many people as possible, as people are so use to seeing professional looking editing now in videos. Going to a live show is different of course! ☺
There was a guitar teacher in Southern California named Ted Greene who wrote a book about chord chemistry. When he played it looked like he would never get to the next chord in time. With her I know the piece and keep thinking how is she going to play this and of course she does beautifully.
That was simply beautiful. So delicate yet so intense. The sheer discipline it takes to be so flawless is staggering. Thank you Fil for your sharing not only your knowledge which helps me to listen in a different way but for your love of music and raw honesty in your assessments. You make me listen with a more critical yet open ear. As Zappa said music is the best. Question please does her, and others, talent automatically translate to other instruments?
It will do, but they still have to practise the techniques on the given instrument. So if you've spent 8 years practising daily on the guitar to be able to express through the instrument, you'll have to spend 8 years on piano to do the same. Fortunately with stringed instruments a lot of technique crosses over, violin, banjo, mandolin etc.
I have Awe and total respect for classical players I look at the neck I see chord shapes and scales they look at the neck more like a keyboard in a way a more complete and integrated vision musically they know theoretically what works if you don't read music a telepathic improvisational ability is as far as you can good you can't see it as its written I'm also reliant on picks to play runs they are all so blazing and precise with they're fingers I'm just amazed by the classical world it's like right brain left brain approaching the same thing from different sides
This video appeared in my TH-cam last Sunday afternoon. I haven't been listening to any classical music on TH-cam since I set up a new account yet there it was ,I can't really explain it other than as of now the only Debbusy piece I have listened to is Quartet in G minor a record I have by the Budapest String Quartet and play it fairly often recently. Yeah sometimes I think my phone is listening. So I saw that Roxane had posted this in classical guitar and had never heard Debbusy presented like that before. So I listened to it and she brought me to tears ....Really. What a beautiful rendition...still lacking words to do it justice. I knew it was extraordinary so I sent it to my sister who has been playing classical guitar for five decades . She absolutely agreed it was very beautiful. Oh and she also mentioned that it would not be possible for her to play because of the finger stretch necessary to do it. Roxane is very gifted in many ways. This piece is a priceless gem. I consider myself very fortunate to have found it. Your review is spot on nice work and thank you.
Very harp-like in places and she hugs that guitar. That may be a classical posture but it seems to be more than that - a whole lotta love for her craft.
Phil Roxane is a new unknown guitarist. there's no need to say she isn't getting a spotlight it's very early days for her and this is her way of doing it. Don't worry this woman is a brilliant *_brilliant_* classical guitarist and she's going to be mega famous. Believe me I've watched loads of guitarists. I've been playing classical guitar for 40 odd years. Her touch , her sensitivity and artistry are of the very highest standards . She'll soon have all the attention she needs...
Very nice video. Her fingers are so slim, her hands look very spidery. What I like about it, the thin fingers contrasted with the dark fret board really shows the work that left hand is doing. I think watching classical guitarists with thicker fingers, that contrast isn't there. This is a great video! Thanks Fil, and I hope you get better.
Beautiful, beautiful, awesomely beautiful played! With her virtuoso command of the instrument she is putting all emotions and colours of that piece into sound. I am reminded on the way Kate Bush commands her voice, on what she does with colour, tone, tempo and volume. It is the difference in between someone well trained for years to a high technical level of proficiency, and a real virtuoso player.
I was incorrect about who did this performance when I posted about your Ana Vidavic video yesterday. Thanks for finding the right video and featuring Roxane Elfasci! This performance is incredible in all respects. I ran across this several months ago and was floored by her playing of this song.
I'm sure she is appreciative of you showing her talent. I have watched this clip many times on you tube. I thing she is getting noticed. From the first time I saw her views on this piece grow enormously. I saw where she has the guitar here up for sale. I dont know why maybe shes done with it. I think YOU should have at least 750k subs.
What is great about your videos is not just the articulation of someone who plays and thus knows what it takes, but it's your generosity, your non-ego sheer appreciation of all music and all techniques.
Mark Decot you said that just right sir
I agree!
I wish Fil was my brother !
Thanks Mark! ☺

As a long-time guitarist, watching her performance is extremely humbling. But also inspiring. Thank you for showcasing her.
Wow, she's great! Look and listen at all those harmonics!
Every bit of her playing was intoxicating, and the way she held the guitar it was like she was holding her lover. What a great video and what a great analysis!

This was mesmerizing. What a talent she is. Hope she will now get the recognition she deserves! Thanks for posting this video Fil.
You as a guitarist smiled at her skill,
While me with no musical skills teared up at the emotion she created.
That is one of the most beautiful and soothing performances I've ever heard. I'm definitely going to listen to more of her. Thanks for this post Fil!
