Isn’t this the true magic that lies in RU-vid? I’m sitting in my lounge on a wet Sunday evening in troubled and troubling times. And here this staggeringly talented young person freely gives a world-class performance of her beautiful art. Sharing both her craft and her love, blessing the luthier with her expression of his work, blessing the composer with her arrangement, blessing us with her precious gift, asking nothing in return for the tens of thousands of hours practising and pain and faith that carpeted the long path bringing her here. Bless her. Bless her from the bottom of my heart.
I heartily agree with your sentiments, and as a 72 year old man who loves most music and especially classical just a wonderful young artist and I just subscribed tonight can`t wait for more.
Now I noticed that this was done 5 years ago! It's amazing that she can pull off playing this music this way at any age, but at such a young age...she is destined to be an important musician.
What a talent! A perfect execution of this sort of piece. Nonchalant performance. Good dynamic scheme. It began well and got better. Exceptional left hand agility.
An early work, but just as polished as those recordings in 2020. This is an amazingly difficult piece to play let alone master in the way her arrangement and execution permit the dreams
Such an outstanding musician. Music is in every fiber, corpuscle and cell in your body, Stephanie. Your interpretations are magical-seriously. And you don't let your techical skills get in the way of musical interpretation. Amazing! As someone who spent 2 1/2 years studying in Spain with José Tomás, I was surrounded by an endless stream of guitarists from around the world, including David Russell. You're at the top of musical expression.
No, Dear Tomas, if Miss Stefanie is 'an outstanding' musician', this is no evidence of it. Here she rushes through it like a dry scale exercise. She has no understanding of the inner qualities of this pierce, whatsoever, and, like so many other guitarists, cannot penetrate Giuliani's style.
@@beasheerhan4482 Thank you for being so cordial, so polite in stating your view. Very much appreciated. She is quite young and, more than likely, will mature in expression as she matures emotionally from living life.
@Ken Brown I haven't. But guitarist, Cornel Imry, who I met in Alicante and was one of my roommates, did write an excellent piece about Tomas after the latter's death. Cornel spent many summers studiyng with Tomas starting in the early 1960's. They were good friends and has many grand tales to tell.
@@higherresolution4490 Thank you for your kindness, Dear Tomas. Actually I have seen Miss Stefanie give some fine performances with other repertoire. It often is that guitarists find Giuliani bedeviling to understand, because, for reasons that I have never understood, guitarists do not ordinarily hearken to the Mozartian 'Bel Canto' style. It may never be her cup of tea, for every musician has some things they do really well and other things not. Alles beste!
@@beasheerhan4482 Wenn man heute die Gemeinschaft der klassischen Gitarristen betrachtet, spiegelt Ihre Analyse genau das wider, was wir sehen. Nochmals vielen Dank für Ihre Mitteilung! Alles Gute! And yes, expression of the Bel Canto, Rococo style seems to have been lost by the end of the Segovia / Tomás era.
Maybe 4 years late, but this is the video that I always come back to for this piece. My favorite!! Hoping your career is going well. Hard to do if you love classical guitar. Thanks!!
Danke!!! Ich durfte träumen, nach einem musikalischen Tag in einem Seniorenheim, bei dieser Musik! Den Schönen Klang gibt jeder weiter, er stimmt die Menschen an........ und Heiter, geht´s in die Zukunft......kein Verdruß.......Musik ist dass.....was jeder muß!!! (oder möchte)!!!
I've just started learning the classical guitar! it's going to be hard work but you're such an inspirational player.I'm glad you're there to encourage me !
Excelente interpretación con evidente talento Siga acumulando experiencias y afine la técnica que está evolucionando a mayores desafíos. Creo que esta a punto de sorprendernos con un concierto que dará mucho que hablar en el ambiente artístico. Felicitaciones por el grado de madurez de su estilo.
You can see in your expression how much you love to play, and the competent way you handle your instrument so that it has become a part of you, and your art, and it is an art which you are excelling in, I know this was posted 4 years ago but I love it. I have been having a concert tonight which you played for me and I am so grateful that you came along at the right time on RU-vid I had to add you to my subs.
@@CrimsenScarr Not so much. When use of a gender specific pronoun is eschewed (and there are no rules that prohibit it), such as in this instance, 'their' can, and is, used for both singular and plural application in informal usage. Although some editors cling to the traditional usage of 'their' for strictly plural usage for more formal writing, it is quickly becoming a thing of the past.
To the 46 people who disliked this... you truly are music idiots. This is a great piece and this young lady is a terrific guitarist. Thanks. I loved it. Bravo . John
When I see a beautiful woman playing an instrument, I close my eyes so as not to be distracted by superficialities. Excellent technique. Such a powerful and clear right hand. Musical and expressive without being over the top. I'm a Bach fanatic and her renditions of Bach are excellent. As a musician, I have a hard time finding anything to be critical of, and I can be very critical. Then I open my eyes and it's just icing on the cake to see such a beautiful woman playing playing so beautifully. Brava, maestra!
So, here Stephanie shows both a sort of elfin wit in the allegrettos & prestos, yet also an almost dreamy quality in adagio/lento variations - neither approach do I remember in anyone else's playing of this famous piece. She is a very original artist, without forced novelty. Fortunate for us that she seems to have arranged a pretty decent audio recording setup for her around-the-house or around-the-hotel room "concert hall. " Oh, yes - a couple of miniscule not-quite-perfect touches; nice that she has a real pro performer's instinct to blow right past them. Impressive in all respects.
OMG I am just astounded by your playing and I can see the Love you have for music in every expression in your face! You are truly a gift to us all and on top of that I feel like you were playing just for me in your bedroom. Thank You
I’m learning this piece right now and this video is a blessing, I love the interpretation, phrasing and tempo and I was able to simplifying a few of the fingerings written in by watching the left hand. Love this video sm
Hallo Stephanie, ich bin sprachlos. Kein Superlativ scheint mir angemessen, Deine Kunstfertigkeit auch nur annähernd umschreiben zu können. Dir beim Spielen zusehen zu können und Dir zuhören zu können, ist wohl eine tiefe Erfahrung, die die Seele streichelt. - Danke für das Teilen.
