This is one of those stellar performances that makes me feel both inspired and like giving up, because I'll never come close to how good this is.

[@IrinaKulikova]

It’s possible!!!

[@senortenpiedad8515]

Music is a language, so that means you have a voice! Instead of sounding like others do, polish your own voice so you can make the message clear, keep it up!

[@rickyanthony]

It's all about chucking enough hours and determination at it.

[@LFUFMNX]

@@rickyanthony Thanks, genius.

[@rickyanthony]

@@LFUFMNX I love you.

[@davidsckaff2376]

I don't know how to express it in words. But it is the best performance of Solemne I have ever heard. You're marvelous, Professor Kulikova!!!

[@ricardomuniz5075]

I agree

[@utzuckz]

one of my favourite guitarists giving an outstanding performance of a major piece in the guitar repertoire!

[@IrinaKulikova]

Thank you ❤

[@jaredzook5713]

This is exactly how this piece should be played, I never got nowhere close to this level but her playing truly inspiring 🙏

[@RTD553]

I'm a professional guitarist - this is the finest playing I have ever seen. The tone and consistency is perfect.

[@oscarrenerodriguezgaleano175]

❤ no soy guitarrista pero sé apreciar la calidad y te doy la razón.

[@zerokekwl4781]

it sounds a bit edited/enhanced? i could hear each hammer/pull as if each note was plucked; loud notes sound softened imo. it's too balanced/consistent, is it even possible? otherwise, this piece was played to perfection.

[@Larry30102]

When I was listening to this it was like “You got to be kidding me!” Best rendition of this piece I’ve ever heard. Great job. I’m blown away.

[@IrinaKulikova]

Thank you 😊

[@felipebianchi6610]

I Agree!!!

[@kaslircribs5804]

One of the greatest performance of Barrios's The Catedral. Thanks for sharing.

[@IrinaKulikova]

Thank you 😊

[@mirzasalihefendic8258]

Wow, this performance is so brilliantly virtuosic, that all the great virtuosos that I've heard so far play it, fade in comparison to this..Absolute bow down Irina. YOU ARE THE BEST..🙌🙌🙌

[@EvGeniusS]

Браво, лучшее исполнение этого произведения! Безупречно, и так страстно, невероятно!

[@DanielMartinez-gv5bv]

Impresionante. La pulcritud con la que ejecutaron esta pieza. Y a una velocidad aún mayor. Braaaavo

[@PedroFerreira-ze5yp]

This is definitely one of the best interpretations of this piece I´ve seen. Definitely one of my favourites!

[@mikelnavarro69]

Absolutely outstanding . Great irina kulikova!! 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰🥰🎵🎶💖🤗

[@sanguyer6683]

If I had to imagine... this is how Barrios played this piece. Listened to every version I could find and this is perfect in every way.

[@mauriciopalma]

Irina is one of the most impressive guitar players I've ever seen.

[@sergearcher]

Bravo!!! Wonderful performance.

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

I almost have to make a second comment, acknowledging how much I appreciate your attitude, Irina Kulikova. That you see every concert equally important, whether is a full concert hall, online or just for one person. All equally important. I can tell a little anecdote from real life: I love flamenco music and went for a show in Ronda, Andalusia, Spain, when I was on vacation there a few years ago. I was so sad, when I got to the venue, because I were the only present, except the guitarist, so I had expected the guitarist either to try to wiggle her way out of the concert or to play something not very inspiring at all. She did not at all, but gave me a one person and fantastic classical and flamenco concert for about one hour! Probably one of the reasons, why she is one of the only Spanish guitar shows to this day, who has a full house in reviews on Google, a score of 5 stars out of 5, because she give herself full in every performance, even for an audience, that most artists would consider a flop. Her name is Celia Morales, by the way. If you go to Ronda ever, look her up! You definitely would be kindred spirits!

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

Just so perfectly performed. Very beautiful. That guitar is also incredible. Just to my taste.

[@IrinaKulikova]

I loved this guitar!

[@eps6483]

The best performance i've ever heard about this great tune !!!!

[@IrinaKulikova]

Thank you 😊

[@julioferrari9373]

Excelent, Irina! 🌹🇦🇷

[@Arrow32172]

I'm blown away by your performance of La Catedral. From the first note to the last it was a masterclass in perfection of tone, consistency, and feeling. As I say to all your performances, and I mean it from the heart, bravissima!

[@IrinaKulikova]

Many thanks to you ❤❤❤

[@scubajay11]

A beautiful performance by a very talented artist indeed. I love the intro and outro where the performer gives some personal insights. Please continue to do this moving forward if possible. Much appreciated. Greeting from sunny Florida, USA.

[@IrinaKulikova]

Thank you

[@genito3705]

¡Sensacional! Pura magia.

[@arjay1140]

Beautiful mix of power, grace, emotion and pace, gobsmacked.

[@joaquim02]

I am a great fan of Irina. She is amazing. I am happy that she played this piece only for me.🙂

[@IrinaKulikova]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@mhathungmurry1842]

Insane 🤯. I never knew humans could do this well

[@Jellysfrickingstuff]

Incredible stuff! I typically tend to prefer when people are a little more intentional and artistically liberal with the tempo in this piece, like slowing it down and speeding it up for the dramatic parts so that it has dramatic emotion hills and valleys like any great performance should, but this was still stupendous.

[@duyminhtran6060]

Your performance delivery the music to my heart and love your feelings speech Irina

[@rickbarber3095]

Wow! You are AMAZING!

[@IrinaKulikova]

Thank you 🙏

[@Yuriy21]

Чудесное исполнение, где виртуозность служит художественным целям. Безусловно, Ирина достигла высшего уровня мастерства и является на сегодняшний день одной из самых крупных гитаристок мира!

[@manuelprietorodriguez7567]

De acuerdo.

[@peterstewart2307]

I can't think of anything to say after listening to this performance - oh! - I can ---- I'm speechless!

[@IrinaKulikova]

Thank you Peter !!! ❤❤❤❤

[@lintriboulet831]

merveilleux merci !

[@spyrosguitar]

Bravo Irina!!!!! Amazing!!!

[@mikemccann]

Wonderful!

[@guitar_arrangements]

A supreme mastery! It is very fast and it should be. For my taste, it could be just a tiny bit slower, too, but it is exquisite for us to have around a fast performance of this scale, with perfect phrasing and articulation at the same time.

[@IrinaKulikova]

Thank you 😊 sometimes I play it slower but all depends on the acoustic or the room and the feelings in the moment of the performance…

[@guitar_arrangements]

@@IrinaKulikova With your control of the instrument I believe you can do whatever you want 🙂I do notice that you have played it here even faster than on your latest album, where you recorded a whole piece. And I prefer this version even more. Of course, it's not all about speed, it's about handling a piece in overall - accuracy, timing, a sense of effortless execution and, of course "it's about the touch" 😉 I must express my admiration not only for your technical mastery, but also for depth and nobility of your interpretations, as well as for warmth and pureness of your tone.

[@IrinaKulikova]

@@guitar_arrangements thank you 🙏
