![Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon (50th Anniversary) [2023 Remaster] {Full Album}](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/k9ynZnEBtvw/mqdefault.jpg)
As a 25 year guitar player she gave me the confidence to sell my guitar to a pawn shop.
LOL
been there, done that ._.
LOL, I know how you feel brutha! \m/
I just keep buying more of them, hoping to find the one that makes me master the thing with no effort whatsoever
I'll find it soon, I think
It’s not the guitar!
This is the real reason the internet exists.
There are other good reasons to keep it around, and lots to trash it and start over and do better next time, hopefully.
Absolutely entrancing performance.
Definitely one of them. There are many many more though. Things to be learned, explored, etc. Math, science, REAL world events, not the nonsense from the old school media, people's takes on every subject, from students to masters. Mastery level presentations of all kinds of subjects, and people demonstrating the other side with videos like time grabs of learning violin, etc. which are often interesting and sometimes pretty amazing. Also a lot good humor (sometimes even intelligent humor) often lacking in standard presentations, as well.
@@Debilitator47 When have you EVER seen an endeavor of man not have problems? And I disagree, the restart would turn out no differently, and something like governmental control would absolutely destroy its value.
As far as I'm concerned there is something for everyone. There is absolutely no requirement for it to conform to your taste, or mine. It is as simple as a click to enter something you are interested in, and a click away to leave, if not. AND you can access anything at any time. What could be better than that?
If it's not illegal or spreading hate, I say go for it. The best thing of all is it gives everyone a voice. Many are idiots (moon hoaxers, flat Earthers, etc.), I'll grant you, but giving them an outlet, meeting the above criteria, is in my opinion, not a bad thing. And for that matter, trolling some of more extreme morons, like the ones mentioned above, is a lot of fun. Some excellent humor available there, as well. The creativity is almost beyond belief, as well, again in a myriad of areas, all of them really, except maybe the flat Earthers. :-)
I would rank the internet as probably the best thing that has ever happened to mankind, actually. Not perfect, not by a long shot, but all out excellent. There is even some excellent wit available in the comment sections, occasionally. Like the one I saw a while back that flat Earthers are like a pigeon that has been invited to play chess. They fly in, knock all the pieces over, crap all over the board, and then fly away, declaring themselves the winner. See?
@@MrJdsenior we, the Flat-Earthers, think you're a moron too. I hope you don't mind. We had a lot of fun reading your comments. Please, keep up the good work. Cheers!
I agree and tend to think that at least half of what is online is worse than a waste of time.
I love listening to this over and over again at work. I feel like a King who has the best musicians in the land play for him, just for his pleasure. How lucky are we today.
Many take for granite
I feel exactly the same.
@@ogedeh Those accursed stone thieves.
This player and piece is inspiring 10/10 thank you and Brava
granite lol
Ana Vidovic doesn't play the guitar, she dances on the strings. AMAZING
It's refreshing to hear her music without people constantly coughing.
Lmao
Je me suis dis pareil en regardant le concours reine Elizabeth ... Mais je préfèrerais quand même pouvoir y assister en vrais.
No kidding !! A very self-controlled mob !
@@rafaelcarmany463 then what you like to see and realize is not mob or people or human-beings but a bunch of robots..
How about to think that those listener and audiences are human-beings and surely all of them do understand that making noises are not suitable? But if a cough or sneeze comes then it is so and should be also fine!
How in the WORLD does she remember a solid hour of endless notes? Exquisite skill and amazing memory!
One word: *PRACTICE*
Yep. Practice. 6 hours a day for 10 years or so and you start to remember the repertoire.
One does not memorize every note in a piece but rather shapes and patterns. Chord patterns and shapes and muscles memory takes care of the test
My dad can sit in the bathroom cause he likes the acoustics in there playing most of these songs from memory. But he has been playing these same pieces over and over for at least 40 plus years
After getting into music for a handful of years, the ability to memorize music just naturally develops. One thing that helps is not using sheet music after you learn a song. Overall it isn't like remembering all the words in a chapter of a book. After some practice and skill with a song, muscle memory leads the charge to where the music almost plays itself. Also, after diving into music for a while, your ability to recall and understand music in general goes way up, which sort of pairs with your increasing skill and familiarity with an instrument, as you will, in a way, play the music by ear, even though you already know the piece. Patterns and chunks is part of it, and that will depend on the instrument, to where something like the bow hand of a violinist benefits from getting used to the pattern of playing since there is more movement so the pattern is more defined. Something like picking strings with a guitar wouldn't be affected as much since the movement is much smaller and with less variation. There's also the mental part of patterns/chunks, as in the way your mind thinks of and understands the music. Also (again), playing more active parts/pieces helps with memorization - like if you are playing in an orchestra and you have lots of rests and may only play like three notes before going back to a rest, that becomes harder to remember. Something like a solo piece or the melody part in an ensemble would be easier to remember, which sounds counterintuitive, but all the sections string together better and the melody is more obvious - as in, playing harmonies or supporting parts wouldn't be as easy to remember as it is harder to tell how that part fits in with the whole piece as it is only one small part of the whole and doesn't carry as much recognizable melody. At least, that has been my experience. Overall, remembering music is something that stops being an issue relatively early in your musical journey and being able to play/practice for over an hour from memory is not much of an ask at all. As others have pointed out too, it is a little hard to explain to someone if they don't have a little bit of music listening/instrumentation experience.
Her precision is astonishing, incredibly fluid playing. Every note is as clear as a bell.
Not a single error. Absolute master
one error at 9:03. note was muted
I am reminded of a story about Pau Casals in the recording studio. No matter how many “takes” he was asked to perform he always had one error, always in a different place in the music. When the sound man asked why, he just shrugged.
Excelente. Guitarrista. Y formidable. Instrumento e interprete
2 yrs late to the concert- I can’t believe I missed this masterpiece of a performance. I’ve been following Ana’s career since she was a child and you will not find a more musical guitarist. The comment that her guitar is an extension of her MIND is absolutely correct. Her voice separation is uncanny -she often sounds like an ensemble. That goes far beyond just “technique”.
I see technique
"Asturias? I'll try." -- That was an understatement of astronomical magnitudes.
No kidding lol
How anyone can sit there and play like that for an hour without messing up any notes is beyond me
Yes! Sometimes I sit down to play and fudge the very first note!
Practicing 23 hours a day.
*Does that count?*
Today is my first day of listening to Ms. Vidovic. I an breathless. Glory be to life for guiding me to her.
Maravillosa. Musica. Con una precision muy buena y el instrumento con una gran soniridad guitarra. Artesanal. Siccas. Guitarras. Los. Bajos. Profundos. Y brillantes. Fuertes agudos. Guitarra. Completa supera a toda guitarra. Como. Ramirez. Hauser con quien tocaba. Segovia y otras mas es otro sonido. Superior. Mas parecido al piano es casi la petfeccion del. Nuevo instrumento. La sexta cuerda de. Ramirez. Y otras de su epoca suenan opacas. No son brillantes no profundas. Suenan. Como las de su epoca. Bue as primeras pero no. Son co.o. siccas y otras que suenan brillantes sonidos redondo profundo asemeja al.piano son extraordinaias
Glory to the algorithm !
I’ve also been listening to Marcin who has a completely different style but can also play classical beautifully. It’s nice to have variety. Give him a listen.
not a single rustle or swishing of the cords while jumping on all those notes. wonderful and clean.
I think I just listened to 60 minutes unedited of someone playing classical guitar and not making a single mistake
There were a few, e.g. in the first Scarlatti piece, but they were minor and didn't distract from the stellar performance.
@ 3:43 9th fret, index finger E string.
If she made a mistake she plays so fast you won't know it. Unfettered speed is not the definition of musicality.
@@sandman7623 thanks, Kurt.
To your ears, I would think not to hers. To be at that level you can never be satisfied. After the performance, she might reflect and think parts of the performance were not her best. Keep working to do better.
not only was this performed beautifully, the sound engineer did a great job too!
You are so right! And the natural acoustics of that hall sound amazing
I'd be interested in specifically how they mic'd it. Obviously they're far away by how little string and neck you can hear
IMO, they may have hung a mic above her head, out of camera view range
She is the sound engineer
no small accident, she even gives them a shout out at the beginning - 'great crew' - probably includes the audio-video crew
I'm 70 years old and I'm afraid I'm too late to ever learn to play like this. You keep on, you legend.
The vast vast majority of people who are a lot younger will, however, never bother to learn guitar, nor even perhaps to learn any musical instrument. So by you even picking up a guitar at age 70, and learning the absolute basics, you'll have surpassed 99% of the population even when taking into account their whole lives. So, I say to you, you keep on too!
Don't be afraid, just go for it
To every person reading and listening to this; magical miraculous things are headed your way! Every good and positive seed you've sown will return to you with a hundred fold return! Be blessed!
i want to die
Amen. So let it be written. So let it be done.
Thank you sooo much 4 giving all of us your blessing,i have studied classical guitar a bit,learned bachs booree in e minor and such,as it is a level 7 piece,it is quite a great feeling 2 play,i am an acomplished rock guitarist and artist,this is an exhibition in excellence,2 devote yourself 2 being unselfish is to touch ones humanity,through this path,many doorways open 2 us,but 4 our life,we can only touch,,,or open so many,,,these things we do,,,or undrtake may take much of our time and existence,,,but if we endeavor this boldly,,,the influence of our example,wil forever be revered,,,Hail ANA,,,,
I love football, but makes me more proud of being Croatian the fact that Ana Vidovic knows to play Bach in such a beautiful fashion than all the glory of the Croatian Football Team....
She is singing the glory to Croatian football team here
My god is she smooth. Theres no trace of her hand making any transition from chord to chord. Just amazing tonal quality.
I agree, so smooth. The squeaks from the guitar strings are almost not there. But you can hear them sometimes. Personally I dont bother about them, they are a part of the guitar sound, as I see it. If you have new strings they are stronger, but I think this time with Anas wonderful playing and a very good uptaking sound they have been diminished.
she uses lotion to her left hand fingers to avoid shifting noise.
@@staffanolofsson8201 It adds to it for me. Reminds me that it's a human playing an instrument and not computer made haha
@@tundrabancho7207 Dear Tundra, a computer can never have this hm hm... carisma, feeling, human touch. This is perfect in the most human way, a computer makes this too perfect, and then it looses its humanity.
I trained her well
She quickly became my favorite classical guitarist of all time.
Her playing is inspirational and beautiful . What an incredible talent . I can’t imagine how many hours and years of dedication and practice to do this . Real self sacrifice in the service of the music . Dear Ana thank you for inspiring us during these horrible times . To find peace and beauty when surrounded by a world filled with hatred .
A Bachelor of Music curriculum has a 5-year Term regardless of your Major and Minor, but entrance to the College passing their respective AUDITION is a pre-requisite. That means enrolling in a college of music, one must have enough music theory and playing skills, already. During your 1st day in Theory class, the professor wont open page 1 of your DANHAUSSER anymore, probably he or she will ask the students to open it somewhere page 54 or more advance pages (I'm telling a personal experience when i took BM Composition / Voice at UP, Diliman College of Music (Philippines). Thanks.
@@donjim5102 Thank you for sharing. It truly is one of life's most rewarding pleasures.
Hours and Days and Weeks....You never perfect the instrument!
She inspires practice:)
I hope I'm a classical guitarist in my next life.
First, she’s truly awesome. Second, after her first set I expected gales of applause only to realize there are only about 5 people in the room. At least it’s recorded to share with the rest of humanity, that at least is a blessing.
Came to the comment section to see if anyone remarked on this. Remarkable performance for such a small live audience.
Many years from now, we will consider this of historical significance, since the hall was empty due to a massive pandemic.
@@UneFemmeBattante "massive pandemic". Really?
The church is reverberant AF. SO if there were gales of applause, then imagine how it would pick up in the mics
Wow I wish I was one of those five
This is a masterly played Bach on guitar. Never have I heard anything better. Ana Vidovic plays Bach´s harpsichord into her guitar like it was the easiest thing to do. A transformation that gives no scars. Just a happy face. My face.
PS Not Scarface at all. Just my happy face.
Ha yes !, lovely comment 👌🌷
The Bible is truth. Please read at least three books of the Bible, Genesis Mathew and one you chose yourself. As you do practice forgiveness, that’s what makes it click. Parents are easiest. They’ve loved you to some degree. It’s actually extremely important to forgive them specifically, that relationship has spiritual significance to God. Remember to break down before Jesus Christ and ask for forgiveness too. Please, it’s really important that you do these things as soon as possible. The Bible is truth;
Jesus Christ is Lord
@@jamesmayle3787 Why this? Have I said anything about the Bible? No. So stop preaching for me, please.
Ele viu que o seu comentário adorável seria muito visitado e quis aproveitar a oportunidade, não seja presunçoso, não é só pra você (com todo respeito) e não seja tão apático, ele não foi tão inoportuno assim... se puder, siga seus conselhos pra uma vida mais saudável e feliz. Realmente gostei do seu comentário sobre a Ana.
When a musician is One and the Same with their instrument - like Ana - listeners are in heaven without needing to die.
I don't use the accolade 'genius' more than once in 50 years or so, but Mascardi playing Bach at that level creates a concatenation of natural genius that transcends 'ordinary' genius. I will watch and listen to this video for the rest of my life.
Conosco esa mucica de ase años es ladansa delas ballenas🐋🐋🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳
Exquisite. A master playing a master. What a privilege to hear such a thing.
wow I just wanted to write "Exquisite" and saw your comment on top.
@@nandakoryaaa1401 agradable y preciosas piezas. Musicales
Bellísimas interpretaciones
Hello Mr. Brad , I am Your subcriber from Croatia, who would say we would meet here.:)
great
As for Ana's performance, top notch as always. But I want to point out that this is perhaps one of the best live solo guitar recordings I have ever heard. The space is amazing and the mics placement and selection is PERFECT. Engineers generally dont get enough credit, but honestly they dont often do anywhere near as well as they did here,
I was thinking the same thing! What a wonderful recording.
Indeed, superb production and technical aspects, meaning this is one of the most enjoyable videos to watch & one I intend to return to, regularly. Above all, thank you to the Artist!!!! Bravissima, Ana Vidović!!!
Agreed, fantastic capture! Would like to record in a church like that, nice acoustics....
Bravo to the production team! The tone is perfection.
I agree. I should also add they are helped by the fact that there are few people there. When recording a delicate instrument like the guitar with a live audience in attendance, the sound engineers have to somehow try to pick up the delicate reverbs the instrument is sending around the space, with the fact that they need to mute all the fidgeting and other noises from the audience. A compromise that is often to the detriment of the recording.
Listen to the clapping.
The most beautiful woman I ever saw play the most beautiful guitar I ever heard God bless you
Whoever made that request, I thank you and Ana for playing it so Beautifully.
Who are those 473 people who didn't like that? Why the hell?! It's sooo beautiful!!
Other guitarists who play it better, of course.
those who thought they knew better but no viewers or likers
I give up. Trump voters, no doubt, who despise all beauty...
I am also interested to learn what kind of people come to the concert of a very talented player only to say that they do not like it. Do they also spit into a plate in a restaurant or stay in the middle of the walkway to tell every other passing by person that they do not like him.
@@ducodarling just the point i have been trying to make . is this guitarist the only guitar player in the world , no there are lots of others
I saw her in concert in Langley. She is amazing in person. Very humble and awesome artistry. Everyone was in awe.
Thank you, Deepak. I wish I was there!
Oh thanks for informing it
Hello, can you help me to find the music notes for the song that was played at the beginning?
thank you for sharing! cheers!
I was there, but not in awe.
Such a brilliant classical guitarist. Her technique is outstandingly flawless. Absolute dedication pours out from each note. Bravo!
I do believe that this performance, above all others I've ever heard, has confirmed my suspicion that despite having owned guitars for 20+ years I have never really played one. Amazing to witness, and I thank you for sharing it!
Asturias without any "spectator coughing"
A M A Z I N G !
Almost half million views with a classic guitar...everything is not ruined in the world
and in less than 2 months
We need beauty and truth
Now well over 1.2 million
Now over 1.8 million in just over 3 months
@@johncourtright1632 amazing
It's been two months now that i discoverd this concert and listen every day . Specially Bach transcription is amazing in the Ana's fingers , this gifted lady is a treasure for classic guitar.
Easy Frank, there us much more out there.
She is a once in a century artist.
@@ofoulis1125 Fraid not.
Shared this with my young grandson who is learning Classical Guitar. Beauty. God's Goodness made visible to the senses. DWillard
I believe what makes Ana Vidovics Bach so capturing is her way of playing Bach. His so called unnoted notes, namely the legatos, the crescendos, or what we may call them. It is all about rythm. When it is there, or when it is not. When Ana plays Bach the rythm is her companion all the time, and so I rely on her music completely. Never will it fail. If you want to call it "pulse" instead of "rythm" it is okey with me. Pulse is nearer the heart, And heart is what it is about.
A heart4 Love❤
As an organist, I listen to her play Bach and Scarlatti, and I'm absolutely floored. Incredible talent.
talent and pure genius/virtuoso and pure gift.
or 40 hours of practice every day
@@bry489 She plays 25 hours every day. She wakes up one hour earlier!
“Does anyone have any encore request?” How about a very difficult song. “Ok sure, hopefully I practiced enough”. Proceeds to kill it.
Her control is frightening and the guitar seems to be an extension of her mind. The music has a clarity and is bewildering. I've always loved the Classical guitar and the notes fall like drops of rain on a summer evening. Tremendous invention. God bless Ana Vidovic.
“ drops of rain…. “ beautiful, thank you so much .. I can’t think of the appropriate words to describe her abilities to my self. Even the fluid moves ( between crisp perfectly timed strikes are lovely to watch) . I’m sure this is watch angels listen to on their night off delivering messages of hope , love and peace and healing to us flawed humans ) ❤
Edit “ watch “ to “ What “ but post likely , but both are correct….!?! She lifts my heart in ways I could never expect and would love to share a room with a performance…..
I've been playing electric guitar for over 30 years. I never cared for classical guitar until I heard a concert by Ana Vidovic. Now I can't get enough of her playing. I listened to some concerts by others to test my newfound interest and they left me feeling flat. I wonder if it's just me or if her talent is really that outstanding?
Anyway, I take my pleasures where they come. Thank you, Ana. I hope you have a many more years to play for us.
Try Julian Bream.. his phrasing and musicality has never been matched a true maestro. The greatest ever.
try david russel. lagq, etc.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Her fingers look like the legs of the spider traversing a web. So precise, yet delicate and deadly! I had intentions of playing this video in the background while I worked but I cannot look away from this tab. She has this beast completely entranced. The Presto is beyond words!
You must be refering to the elusive kickboxer spider. Deadliest legs in all the spider kingdom lol. But yeah, I totally agree.
How come such a beautiful sound come from a guitar?
This is the classical guitar style :) glad you enjoyed it!
As a lifetime rock guitar player, vintage Fender Stratocaster irremediable enthusiast, this concert let me speechless...
"Asturias ? Sure, I'll try" and then Ana Vidovic plays the piece to perfection! I wish I could play just 0.1 percent as well as she does each time I say "I'll try"...
she was like 'aw, not this AGAIN, I played it like 10 billion times' xD
But still, whoever asked her for it, thank you, and thank you Ana, for playing it for us once again :-)
Wow! She plays with such clarity and power. I once saw Julian Bream live (he brought me to tears) and Ana has that same quality, where technical mastery gives way to pure expression. When someone does something so infernally difficult and makes it look effortless, that is when you know you are in the realm of the angels. This is an utterly sublime performance.
And watch Estas Țone!He's briliant and out of this world!
Ana is unbelievably accomplished, musical, technically supreme and a miracle of a performer - a unique blessing to be allowed to watch and listen to.
Absolute joy to watch and listen to. Extraordinary that she took an audience request and played it to perfection.
She is absolutely magnificent, and truly one of the finest musicians alive today.
@Jack Strawb such an ignorant statement Jack. I assume you’re a youngster.
@@David_Hicken He's just a troll do not give it attention
Her right hand efficiency is just stunning. That takes extreme focus and dedication of many years. So good to hear such excellent interpretations, but also be able to see absolutely wonderful technique
Stunning. I console myself with the belief that at one point, in the way distance past, she too struggled to play a G chord without accidentally muting strings....
She had mastered G before she was taller than her guitar:

I totally get where you're coming from, but I think when your destiny is to be this good, there is never a struggle, it's just a natural process right from day 1, and lamentably, the privilege of 1 in a million who attempt the musical-instrument journey, to experience.
@@LeighGhostTao I like your name, Great Refret. Hahaha! However, even for the talented they must work so hard to get to this level. Maybe not as hard as you or I, but to not buzz a note - those hand stretches - the vulnerability. Like Sports, a lot of it is a Mind Game.
@@Freempg WTF BRO, you just ruined my intire life with this comment... hahahahahahaha
@@LeighGhostTao Never a struggle? Trust me to reach this level and fullfill the potential of her talent takes an incredible ammount of hard work, tireless effort striving for perfection. It is a tremendous effort and no such effort is free of struggle.
Thanks for healing my soul as well as my body with this music. I'm about to cry when I see those nice comments. I need it most🥺 Thank you
Hearing someone like her play, is a great privilege, and it always made me want to practice more.
Thank you to all who attended the live premiere!
Thank you for bringing us this incredible musician.
Do you really need to ask for donations beforehand?
The first thing you enter the church is show reverence to the consecrated altar. And if the Tabernacle candle is lit, that is the sign the Body of Christ is in there. May be the acoustical element is ideal but it is inappropriate to have a guitar show inside the church. This is what the Catholic Church teach our children and here the adults doing the opposite. No wonder 80% of the catholic don't go to church and 90% don't know their faith.

@@MikeMoralesTequilaSensei Thank you!
What a guitarist! I have hardly ever heard such a clean sound and fluent technique.
yes - i think a computer could not have created the notes any more accurately and beautifully!
To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness
The Asturias in the encore was incredible, especially since it wasn't on the program and so she wouldn't have spent much if any time rehearsing this piece immediately prior to the concert. And yet she played it flawlessly with all the dynamics and emotion that is the core to this most incredible piece of music. Brava!
I remember watching Ana perform while we were in conservatory together. Everyone knew she was going to be a star.
interesting. what is your instrument ?
She is! So cool you did conservatory with her. Did you use to talk with her?
Nice. what was the school?

@@truthlivingetc88 I’m a violinist.
The opening J.S. Bach.... Absolutely amazing....
Think of the dozens (if not hundreds) of hours it has taken for a maestro like Ana to have memorized a piece so intricate and complex!
Possibly thousands
This piece demonstrates the guitar's versatility, blending different styles seamlessly.
Don't care if it is in a church, buddhist temple, or any other acoustically favorable location. Listening to Miss Vidovic is always a win. 👏
She has still the same eyes from an old video playing Adelita (Tarrega) with images of childhood with her mother. She's amazing. She's perfect.
Spectacular. Final Boss level skill in a superb performance.
No matter how difficult the passage every note absolutely precise and clear. Beautifully amazing.
I’ve always believed in another dimension, a parallel world where everything is pure and beautiful....I just found it. Wow, thank you Ana. What a gift
"pure and beautiful" - but still with TH-cam in it? !
Its as if the angels on high are in attendance !!!!
@@adrianwright8685 is like driving a car without acknowledging that it was built by someone else, how stupid
Wonderful !
She makes the Bach sound like it was written for guitar !!
It was :)
Ana Vidovic makes Bach harpsichord to a guitar, as if that was no problem at all. Just do it.
@@matthewabbott588 True. In fact Bach's music works on all instruments, except maybe didgeridoo.
@@jaikee9477 Actually I've been performing Bach on didgeridoo for a while now and I must admit...the crowds aren't really taken in with it yet...but I keep trying.
@@jaikee9477 I'd like to hear you playing it on the Jew's Harp…
Wow! I mean just Wow! Perfect in every way. Ana's playing could not be over stated. The venue is great. The recording engineering is perfect. Haven't seen any comments on the guitar. It's balance, tone, clarity, etc. show off her infinite skills, just as her infinite skills show off that remarkable guitar.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Tactile and exact playing. Wow. Even a special request at the end! My goodness!
Such sublime Bach playing. And then just playing the Asturias as a request. Ms Vidovic, I am at your feet.
She has some of the cleanest articulation I have ever heard, AND artistry as well! That is a very rare combination.
feel honored to leave a comment here. it is just so amazing that no one could resist the temptation of the music.
wow! This is one of those very rare moments I got stunned when music begins, and not only her music, but also her professionalism, her charisma!
I admire many of today’s classical artist but notice I like to watch Ana’s hands. Such beautiful movement and placement. She makes it look as effortless as Roger Federer’s tennis movement. So beautiful.
Magnifique musique Anvoutante
Ana, you are so gracious to give us this wonderful concert free!
I had the honor of meeting Ana and she is as lovely as her artistry suggests.
Hello, can you help me to find the music notes for the song that was played at the beginning?
No sheet music to follow. What a memory capacity, so beautiful 🥰❤
What sets her apart is that while other fine or even excellent guitarists sound beautiful (I think Pepe Romero), she has some bite to her playing - sharp, clear notes interspersed that give the music an edge that helps reveal its definition. One of a kind.
I had the great pleasure of seeing her live in a small venue, where the audience could meet after the performance and briefly say hello. I asked her what she thought of Richter. Her brother's favorite, she said (her brother plays the piano). To better define what I was trying to say above, think about Richter's playing in comparison to other great pianists. With many composers, his tone is like no other. Her tone is like no other guitarist I have ever heard.
If you haven't played a classical guitar before
You can't imagine the amount of pressure she's putting into her left hand and to not miss a single note in 1+Hour of continuous playing soo impressive!!!
And she makes it all look so easy.
WOW
It looks easy precisely because she’s NOT applying a lot of pressure. Applying heavy left hand pressure is what unskilled amateurs do.
@@JeremiahAlphonsus indeed. she is using almost no pressure at all. and there were a few mistakes albeit small ones.
elie, apparently yoy haven't played classical guitar before.
Hey guys, give him a break.
Maybe he meant that it is awfully easy to gain tension on left hand. Especially with those bach-pieces.
Or maybe he meant that If you were beginner you would propably put much more pressure for it to sound well. So she has has to do less work than any amateur players which is obvious but nicely said😁anyway this Elie may have started a new hobby recently so don't push him down immediately 🤷
@@JeremiahAlphonsus I think the comment OP meant mental pressure not physical pressure
I feel I have tripped over the Sublime. Even the way Ana Vidović tunes her guitar is graceful.
... and watch her gracefully conclude Nocturno.
I feel blessed to hear such amazing talent. Absolutely beautiful!
Wow, that's a great set of tunes you have there. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Somewhere in the middle of that performance she thought to herself: Damn, I'm goooooood.
😂 guitarists allways think, thank God, that played well !
By the age of 11, Vidović was performing internationally and showed such an extraordinary talent that at 13, she became the youngest student to attend Academy of Music
Bravo!
Really?! Wow. She really loves playing. You can tell by the way she graces her guitar with the melody but on her terms, in the timing of her choosing. Shes Just a master of delivery.
Id like to see her finger tips, lol.
The sound is fantastic, but it's beautifully filmed, too. I loved being able to see close-ups on her technique.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes I enjoyed watching her hands as well! Thank you.
Protect Her at All Costs. Flowers blossoming in the desert.
that's beautiful. Every youtube video concert should be like this : no noise in the background
She's an angel comforting us with her heavenly music.
A beautiful woman as well. Here, she looks like a young Kate Jackson of Charlie's 😇 Angels.
Delightful, thank you!!
Total mastery of the instrument, the guitar is suffering to produce the sounds demanded from it! Bravo!!!
How many hours of study and practice are we witness to here?
Imagine learning just one of these songs!
I heard in an interview the best electric guitar player in the world for 2020. according to the Guitar World magazine, Igor Paspalj (he is also from Balkan region, like Ana), and he said that he used to practice around 8-10hr per day first 10 years, when he finally 'learned to play'...he added that 90% is practice, the rest is talent.
PS - he is also the great composer of beautiful solos. Check out his stuff called Distances for example.
Cheers
Exactly! How many many hours of practise to make it look so simple.
40 hours everyday
24 hrs a day.
@Elsewhere / Otherwise Very roughly i bet ;)
I play classical guitar for four years, and I'm still far from her level, the same way a beginner is! Wow, just wow she makes the guitar sound as clean as a piano and that in itself is marvelous without talking about how complex this performance is, changing rhythm, and hitting distant notes without disturbing the melody !!! I can talk for ages about how complex what she is doing is and someone who never played guitar will never understand the majestic and extraterrestrial way she plays this instrument
They'll understand if you try to teach them to fret just one note and their finger buckles at the knuckle and they say "Ow that hurts" and they are literally incapable of making a single note other than on open strings. Even those notes will "boing" and sound awkward. On the piano the note is already "made" for you. I once argued with a pianist about this and he just didn't get it. He went on about how important touch is on the piano and I agree but the guitar is whole other level of difficulty.
@@andylong7759 Each instrument has its own unique intricacies that require different skills. You can't say that one is more difficult than the other, they are just difficult in different ways, and saying anything else is just embarrassing.
Just because it is obviously easier and faster for someone to start playing piano and reach a level where the music you produce sounds "pleasant", doesn't mean they aren't equally as hard to master, the skill (floor) is just higher with a string instrument.
@@biffii5568 Agreed. Thanks for the insight!
amazing Vivaldi's version of 'Four Seasons' on guitar!!! th-cam.com/video/nO8WdJgiWy4/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
@@andylong7759 yeah classical guitar is hard mode. piano is way easier. in piano u can play super hard pieces at least slowly but in guitar there are pieces with fingerings that it will sound like shit even if u play slow. advanced level piano playing is way easier. im not talking about being a pro pianist btw
So beautiful ! Thank you !
Many thanks!!!
I can only imagine the hours and hours and years upon years spent training to get to this level of mastery. Incredible.
So true, just look how strong her hands look. You can tell she has spent many years building up this skill.
What about the saying it only takes 2000 hours to master any subject? She may have gone a little over
@@Eric-dr5bj Does not exist
It’s the same level of technique over and over to different melodies, time variations, tempos, and memorization. She’s not going 1000 finger plucks and notes per min. It just sounds wonderful because she’s staying composed within the music. There’s mastery that plays twice as fast out there.
@@Eric-dr5bj it’s 10.000 hours.
I heard her play for the first time today.
Imagine a random stranger giving you a beautiful gemstone to keep in your heart.
A joy for life :-)
I ^ ve studing classical acoustic guitar since 1979...I got to admit ...she is working in a perfect between the notes...I never have seen a concert so magical .
Ana! This is really well done, thanks for sharing with us!
In a time of such low human consciousness its inspiring reminding and calling to see and hear what humans are really capable of. Thank you so much.
Yes. Agreed!
Peaceful beauty matched with mesmerizing talent, that took tens of thousands of hours to hone, deserves nothing less than my total admiration. It's an honor to see and hear such ability.
Thank you. Your playing is sublime.
I'm so lucky, I've watched this concert and no ad interrupted it!
