Stephanie Jones is an international treasure. She welcomed us to her "little home recital" but instead treated us to a master class. She begins with selections from the standard repertoire of college student grade material. But from Bach through Sor and Tárrega, Ms. Jones showed us all how to play these pieces with precision and verve. Do you ever hear the sounds of her fingers sliding from one fret position to another? Not even once. Nothing but exquisitely sustained melody with solid intonation. Without fail, Ms. Jones gets her fingers in position for the next series of notes with ample time to spare with grace and authority. And then she progressively revealed her virtuosity from Maria Linnemann's lyrical gem through Brouwer and Charlton's epic pieces. She concludes with two movements of an Astor Piazzolla composition arranged by Sergio Assad requiring virtuoso technique on her part every step of the way. And she delivers generously. We're privileged hear and see all this professionally produced and available for replay with a click of the button. These are the best of times, these are the worst of times.

[@thomastepfer9861]

Mark, YES!

[@kenz2756]

If you're being nitpicky, you could hear finger sliding, at least in lagrima since that was one of the ones I really listened in to.

[@Guppusmaximus]

I think she is a fantastic guitarist but her style doesn't emit the tones that Andre Segovia or Christopher Parkening could produce. Those fret noises don't occur because of inferior playing. They happen when the musician is completely responsible for producing the tones & volume without relying on a mic. Especially, when you have a powerful & precise style like the aforementioned guitarists. You just don't hear that nowadays because of the innovation of recording tools being used. Honestly, I miss those Human characteristics. Just my .02

[@markmitchell6179]

@@Guppusmaximus She's playing acoustically without amplification. There are microphones recording what she is playing in order to transmit her music to us. If she were squeaking as she played the microphone would pick it up. It does take extra technique to avoid those sounds which she does consistently. Her tone sounds full and sustained to me. I'm pretty sure they didn't modify the original recording. What you hear is what she played. There are other contemporary guitarists of similar caliber. It is certainly not the case that after Segovia and Parkening everyone else is just a side note to their glory.

[@phasespace4700]

@@markmitchell6179 Funny---I actually love hearing string squeak in some classical pieces. It's part of the character of this unique musical instrument. That said, I'm dumbfounded by Stephanie's playing. Everything from her tone to her phrasing is just out if this world. Call me crazy but she sounds like John Williams, only with more soul.

[@haazk666]

This concert deserves hundreds of millions of views

[@KiiAudio]

Her playing is both technically perfect as it is musical to the highest degree ❤

[@luciasousa1528]

Lindo , parabéns

[@gilltim5711]

Stephanie, your playing is as beautiful as you are!

[@kenhanson8878]

I sit and practice gratitude at breakfast. I sat and listened to you play and man do these pieces lend itself well to gratitude practice. I’m breathing, free of life threatening disease, I have coffee, buttered toasted roll, I breathe, thank you for the sounds to really make these minutes complete.

[@user-tr6nx2pw3q]

Какая лапушка, какая молодец! Сама то красавица, умничка! Играет легко, завораживающе приятно, заслушиваешся музыкой которая тебя обволакивает и успокаивает! Очень, очень приятно слышать и видеть эту прелестную девушку-сокровище! А какой у неё приятный голосок!!!! Целую её прекрасные ручки!!!Браво, браво, преклоняюсь перед вашим трудом и талантом!!!!

[@ericgendell8874]

With the first notes, I exclaimed, "She is Fantastic", as an involuntary expression. The guitar tone is as close to perfection as has even been fashioned by the luthier's Art. Warm, yet clear and articulate. This is what happens when a world-class musician plays a world-class instrument.

[@terencehsu9576]

8:43 Lagrima. This is one of the best performances of this iconic classic guitar piece that I’ve ever heard. Well done.

[@coniston3106]

The accenting is magnificent

[@billthomson7468]

Got to agree. This an exquisite version that really brings out the expression of teardrop of the title. It was so good I had a tear at the end. Stephanie is such an expressive player, a different league.

[@juanfernandezmontes7922]

No. El tempo... No.

[@williambudd2850]

She is so unique. The only person who can do what she does and she does it with such grace and style. Yes, a treasure she is.

[@davemguru12]

58 years ago I heard Larry Adler play the Bach gavotte on his harmonica in Arkwright road public library (closed long, long ago). Stephanie's interpretation takes me back to those childhood mists and evokes a sweet, gentleness. I never knew the name of that piece until today. Thank you for the evocation.

[@peterbusch6351]

Thank you Stephanie for your wonderful playing!!👏👏♥️♥️

[@paulwhetstone0473]

I’m sorry, but The Black Cockatoo Flying Alone was one of the most breathtakingly beautiful ballades my two ears have ever heard.💋

[@3D-Droid]

Стефани просто жемчужина! Прекрасное исполнение, прекрасное звучание инструментов и просто очаровательная девушка с прекрасной улыбкой! Нет слов! ❤🌹

[@user-gq9ju3uw7c]

Она мастер. Такое тремо держать, всего на шестиструнке. Я, не "ухо-горло-нос", но фальшь бы услышал.

[@wildcryTech]

Incredible latent with so such passion in what she does. A true star

[@effemusik]

Exquisite choice of pieces played with the grace and precision of a true professional. You are a marvel! Thank you for making this woeld a better place!

[@lastunicorn846]

Wow, the tremolo in the Recuerdos de la Alhambra was so unbelievably smooth. Dream-like.

[@petebailey6820]

Gorgeous instruments, and Stephanie's playing is exquisite as always!

[@lyndafaye6748]

Someone this CUTE should not be allowed to be, this talented! I's just not fair.

[@cszrwi]

Steph rocks. Thanks KZbin for pointing her my way. She has created some incredible musical moments, This is no exception. In all the vast expanses of space and time. Time is rarely used so perfectly.

[@wilfriedhilbig7581]

Danke für dieses wunderschöne Privatkonzert.

[@BigBear59]

I Love your interpretations …you’re so very,very talented …I can listen to you play for hours …Thank You …..Alex 🇬🇷

[@sejosemaria]

Maravilloso, buen gusto y técnica superior. Lo que más me asombra es la intensidad en piezas clásicas de Sor o Lágrima de Tárrega. Piazzola sencillamente ¡brillante!

[@abeni999]

Hoy por hoy una de las mas talentosa interprete de la guitarra ,lo reúne todo,técnica,sencibilidad madurez musical ,es en verdad encantadora,,empresa gran musicalidad en rodos los generos y formas musicale ,una gran virtuosa de la guitarra,bravo

[@tatsuogw]

Stephanie is one of the most expressive guitarists in the young generation. Her Brower's piece is great. The first time I was moved by the piece after listening to it played by other guitarists. ブローウェルの曲は他のギタリストによる演奏をいくつか聴いたが、ステファニーさん程表情豊かな演奏は無かった。

[@violonista20]

I went through so many emotions during this presentation, truly inspiring!

[@yuriykuznetsov7496]

Браво, Стефани! Великолепно играете, получил огромное удовольствие, спасибо. Я из России.

[@daelynnicholls9338]

What an added treat we get watching those magic fingers and seeing the gentle smiles and frowns so much a part of the creation of, as Mark Mitchell said, our very own master class. You are a true treasure Stephanie.

[@scottkleyla7752]

My outlook changed

[@SRKanai1]

She is simply one of my favorite young guitarists to listen to. I was so crushed when we lost Sabrina Vlaskalic to being hit by a car while riding a bike but i must say, Stephanie was someone Sabrina had spoken of before and she wasnt wrong. Magnificent.

[@lyndafaye6748]

Someone this CUTE should not be allowed to be, this talented! I's just not fair.

[@DeOmnibusDubitandum76]

3:03 by this point in the movement, my left hand is screaming "curse Bach's wigs and breeches!". Beautiful performances. Thank you!

[@mhough3]

I don’t know how any person can play so beautifully.

[@ontarokorzar4738]

Siempre me han gustado los instrumentos de cuerda, por sus excelentes sonidos y vibraciones; Este concierto privado entre comilla, su gracia para tocar sin rasgar las cuerdas para cambiar de nota, para no ir tan lejos me gusto mucho escuchar el sonido de la guitarra tan limpia con excelente y dulce melodía. Felicidades

[@gardnep]

Great stuff from the mastery of Stephanie. Just what we need in locked down Oz. Keep punching ahead. You are one of our greatest exports. Thanks

[@deguilhemcorinne418]

Je m'associe au concert de louanges, j'ai été captivée de bout en bout. Voilà une artiste que je rêverais voir jouer sur scène comme au bon vieux temps !

[@asierpelaezguitar]

¡Fantástica interpretación, bellísima sonoridad, y muy acertada elección del programa, para recomendar este video a los jóvenes estudiantes, que tocan estas piezas normalmente y que tienen aquí una buenísima referencia, enhorabuena Stephanie!! 👏👏👏

[@laresistenza9201]

Thank you Altamira for leading me to Stephanie Jones' delightful musicianship!

[@kathyhollenbach7413]

Stephanie, you are a hidden treasure that I just found today. Your method of playing is is exquisite. The tremolo of Recuerdos la Alhambra made me sit up and take notice! You are a masterful musician. Continue to share this talent, gift and hard work with us all. You are masterful and passionate. You really feel each piece of music you perform. Ty👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@mer1red]

Brilliant playing, as we are used to hear from Stephanie. In addition I must repeat that the Hanson N3 sounds wonderful.

[@davidreynaldohurtadoaleman5648]

Such Pasion and expression in just one human being... I only Hope she could come to Mexico one day to meet you and listen to your beautiful musical talent.

[@clivepierce1816]

I have followed your growth as a musician over a number of years. It is a great pleasure to hear the fully rounded and versatile musician you are today. You are are a great ambassador for the classical guitar. I grew up listening to the mellifluous tones of Julian Bream. In my opinion, there are very few guitarists who rival his musicianship and all round virtuosity. You are on of them.

[@MK-sc8md]

Thank you for creating this purely beautiful gift to make me appreciate the wonder of humanity's achievements.

[@joachimspehl4004]

Now I love my Altamira even more :) Thanks to Stephanie for this great performance.

[@Randysax1955]

What a powerful, yet sensitive marriage between the music, the instruments, and the performer. Your facial expressions and body movements tell it all.Thank you for a beautiful performance.

Migliore interprete di Astor Piazzolla complimenti

[@CUONGMUSIC]

Wow! Great sharing. Excellent performance. Really impression. I send you greetings from Vietnam and i'm waiting for your new video. Have a nice day!

[@rayl1977]

Thank you for setting the Earthly bar for what is possible with six strings - even the familiar 'easier' (cough) college pieces surprisingly coaxed into genius, more interesting and expressive level. Amazed.

[@patatje1434]

i was planning on playing some background music while doing the dishes, i ended up being fixated behind the computerscreen for half an hour. what a performance. i have no words that can describe how much i enjoyed it. what a tallent, what a joy for eye and ear.

This evening I really need some peace. Thanks for providing the perfect atmosphere for it, Stephanie.
