Ana Vidovic plays Sonatina & Suite Castellana by Federico Moreno Torroba

[@fingerhorn4]

For a guitar student Ana Vidovic is very good to watch as well as to listen to. She has an amazingly relaxed touch with both hands. Her position and posture are flawless, and quite beautiful. The left hand fingers look as though they are barely touching the fretboard at times, and the right hand is SO relaxed. She never "over" plays yet seems to get an effortless dynamic range, and everything is so tastefully musical. A real pleasure to behold. Thanks for uploading.

[@robertlaquey]

I am curious and totally ignorant of playing the classical guitar or any instrument really. It appears she is looking intently at her left hand fingering the strings. In my ignorance this surprises me. Touch typists do not look at the keyboard. What about the guitar is different?

[@deldia]

Typists obviously have something else to watch which is the screen. Musicians playing from memory have nowhere to look. She does look at her hands but if you blindfolded her she could probably play 90% without looking. Sometimes guitar has some very long hand shifts which might require looking.

[@HBSuccess]

I play (but at a baby level compared to Ana) - it's simply something to do if you've memorized the music Sometimes you watch your left hand, sometimes your right. You're looking but not really seeing if that makes sense. There are times when it helps a little to watch a position shift up or down the neck, but it's not critical. Otherwise what would you look at if not reading music? (not the audience- that would be awkward at best). I agree that Ana coiuld probably play this and any piece in her rep. blindfolded if push came to shove.

[@ReviewGuitar]

I have been playing and listening to recordings of Torroba's music for years but this time I found myself simply immersed in her wonderful phrasing and charming rendition. Great dynamics, very musical and captivating playing.

[@lucastelesnovaes]

Ana is amazing as always, her musicality is tremendous. I really dislike this interviewer though, he seems unpleasant. nonetheless good work, great interview, beautiful music.

[@brianleslie9770]

Words cannot express!!! You are surely one of the greatest ever!!!

[@insider_english1594]

wonderful! my favourite composer, and she plays it so dynamically!

[@TalentedDilittante]

Ms Vidovic, you've made me "hear" Moreno-Torroba for the first time ... the possible nuances, the poetry. As a player, I wanted to bring them out from the scores I read. But you have fully realized what I reached for. Thank you for letting me hear it.

[@gollypo448]

She is so talented, and somehow being into classical music seems to bring out the best in peoples' personality. She's lovely as well as a great musician.

[@Michajeru]

Wonderful music! Anna is a superb guitarist and the tone of her guitar is magnificent.

[@SFolkes97]

She is so incredible! The music is obviously deeply connected with her soul and this comes out when she performs and that is a double gift. Makes me love the music, love the way she plays it, and love to watch her.

[@peterhguk]

A lovely addition to our store of videos, and it's really great to hear Ana on some up-to-date recordings. Thank you very much :o)

[@Abanos11]

Ana is just fabulous; I follow her presentations for a years and never have enough !

[@theguitarscrolls759]

Awesome. Gorgeous. Fantastic compositions and one the best version's .

[@dragonlora]

Wonderful ! ... I wonder at the number of people who feel they must show the extent of their own knowledge of music and specifically the guitar by negatively commenting on the style of a person who is most certainly one of the greatest interpreters of the guitar of our time ! Bravo Ana Vidovic

[@bobwps3]

+Leonard Ericks Agreed, Ana's technique is absolutely flawless.

[@Deerse]

In the first place I think this is played with much soul and personallity, in the second place there is no person who allways plays flawless on stage, no Williams and no Ana as well. That doesn't mean that the technique is on a grandmasterlevel. I don't think that minor mistakes are part of the music it is all about intention. On this level players follow their taste. Ana does that with a great technique and musicallity. Those nerds who are interested in mistakes: listen for instance at 12:40 and check the score.

[@RealDiaz]

Anna has always been one of my favorite classical players. The prodigy from Croatia is not only beautiful and graceful but she plays some very difficult pieces. This is one of my favorite repertoire pieces by Torroba from Madrid Spain.

[@Chef_MDT2nd]

Anna's HOT!!! sizzle sizzle

[@RealDiaz]

Michael Thomas Ridiculously so, check out her vids rockin the blonde hair.

[@andrewseddon4748]

Beautiful..simply beautiful..any artist able to move people to tears has achieved their goal :-)

[@Hannah-fh9sm]

Beautiful Croatia- my wife’s ethnicity is half. Very Spanish, love Maestra’s right hand strokes and planting. Excellent control combined with beautiful phrasing that belies her youth. She actually evokes some technical references to Los Romero’s, but in her own unique way. Definitely one of the best female virtuosos- you go girl!!!

[@pralaysangma8019]

Anna is one of the finest guitarist in the world no doubt, and very humble person.

[@alainprest]

Superbe interprétation de cette magnifique sonate de Federico Moreno Torroba par Ana Vidovic, tout en finesse et dans un style irréprochable ainsi que de la suite Catellanna. Quand aurons-nous un enregistrement de ces oeuvres par Mme Vidovic ? Un premier enregistrement chez Naxos de la musique de Torroba, (volume 1), mériterait largement une suite tant cet enregistrement se situait à un très haut niveau.

[@higherresolution4490]

Perfection! Ana is better than I even remembered seeing her in person.

[@avatarist]

Masterful! You would make F. Torroba weep with joy! So Beautiful!

[@kahanalu1]

Most certainly Ana Vidovic's genius is on display in this recording. Simply stunning skill and technique.... Bravo!

[@toccar1]

wonderfull performer and musician!

[@RPG15926]

Sublime interpretation of a beautiful piece…Ana channeled Torroba !

[@GregHillmy4re]

Thank you for sharing ...very nice and well performed.

[@leohkr]

Inbelievable that musicality that is exposed! Pure joy for te ears!

[@thomaskleinhans2384]

Very profund! Thank you Ana!

[@aristotle358]

Excellent! Beautiful playing as well as great technique.

[@newislandguitar]

Gorgeous playing...nice touch.

[@bennyjazzful]

I agree 100% Very beautiful & plays the guitar magically! Amazing sounds & so,so good.

[@Ratatoing42]

Incredible player, great sense of feeling and emotion for the music!

[@thachle7181]

Once ..0n my life time .. In love with the great Sound of music SO BEAUTYFUL Ana brought and fulfill emptyness and Sorrow life ..

Ana Vidovic is amazingly talented. I was a guitarrist. Thank you!!! gracias.

[@liampike6745]

Very nice interpretation... such pleasant emotional music

[@d.lafollette]

Amazing musicality & variation of tone color.

[@saviocouto1]

My inspiration! Lovely

[@MikeyIV]

I love how she uses dynamics. It kind of reminds me of an orchestra how she kind of throws notes away and goes so silent but you feel them.

[@jamesrramey]

I love SRV , I grew up with SRV But Ana is the greatest guitar player of all time ~RIP SRV

[@petals75]

Good to listen you, especially today

[@sleeplessingc]

Simply awesome... such beauty talent and grace....and intellect.

[@andrekarsenty1]

Magnifique interprétation, beaucoup de sensibilité, félicitations Amicalement

[@asankaranarayanan9860]

Awesome! Great Technique! So Charming to listen and to watch!

[@danbrunelle3260]

She expresses the music...others just play the notes. I LOVE her!

[@markcoulthwaite2793]

It seems the graceful and talented young lady dealt with an arrogant and condescending man very well indeed. Her playing is just on another level compared to anyone else. Bravo!

[@carebear5689]

I also found the interviewer to be very off putting. Ana, your grace shines through! So beautiful! 🌸💕🌸💕

[@RCPierce100]

Great interview Thanks for sharing RC Pierce

[@ferrantepallas]

Marvellous, a genuine artist!

[@garygullikson6349]

Why don't people appreciate the work of individual guitarists for what it is rather than comparing and trying to say that one is better than another for whatever differences they perceive. Ana is one of the many greats in her field . I love the feeling she puts into her playing.

[@j.r.torres6790]

Hi there, I love everything that makes Ana Vidovic, is an amazing girl, and it?s impressive how to play her guitar. Congratulationes and Greetings from México.

[@swadeneilson6055]

Ana makes very difficult music look easy to play.The effort thats gone in unimaginable but the result as any player will know is truly exceptional,What a talent.Thankyou and please come to England to perform

[@SandraMaraCarvalhodeMelo]

Good orning friend Rare Guitar VC is beauty find musical for hear must once , , hear Ana Vidovic is wonderful

[@MrRolando68]

Ici Ana est au sommet de son art!!! Quel toucher, quel son et quelle musicalité! Elle nous envoie au ciel!

[@jackhousman6637]

Quite simply, she is the finest classical guitarist I have ever heard (and I've heard lots.) Her technique is the most fluent I have heard, her command of the instrument absolute, and she has musicianship and artistry unsurpassed in my experience, even by the finest virtuosi. (And if I may digress, she is a beauty, with a superb fashion sense. Note the dress or top in the interview sections. Yeah, I know, I know. Please don't bother coming back at me with a lecture. Beauty is beauty, whether artistic or visual. AND she's a charming, thoughtful young woman.)

[@perothing]

Thank you for this. So beautifull!

[@JhonMarinaAcevedo]

thank you Anna...you touch our spirits!

[@sebastianeleven3634]

Ana Vidovic is an angel sent from heaven to give meaning to human life.

[@erict1917]

Heaven lives in your soul.

[@BaldPete01]

So beautiful. With so much expression. I enjoyed it.

[@hospitality5522]

Un des documents qui attestent qu'Ana Vidovic est une des plus grandes artistes vivantes. Perfection dans tous les domaines, sonorité, phrasé, et plus que tout la création d'une atmosphère sonore unique.

[@rebeloj]

Awesome. KZbin nobody is dropping words of wisdom for worldly acclaimed, established professional.

[@josegodinez9248]

es un angel en la guitarra...

[@drspaseebo410]

Heavenly ~ just LOVE Torroba and Vidovic ! /

[@RPG15926]

❤love Torroba ….Love Ana!!!

[@RyanWalshGuitar]

Masterful performance, as always! And some interesting harmonies that I haven't heard on any other recordings or arrangements! I'm currently putting together my own arrangement and was wondering if anybody else has heard something similar to how to plays the Fandanguillo here...

[@johnkolar345]

The recording is in a rather dry sound environment for the classic guitar. Imagine her playing in a live hall. This gal is very, very good! Having performed the Sonatina some 40 years ago in a masters recital, I know this work inside and out. Ana gets my seal of approval. Sincerely, Former member Milwaukee Classical Guitar Society, Masters of Music Performance, 30 year retired K12 Band & Orchestra Director, current symphonic section bassist, symphony performance librarian.

[@TheRamblinrek]

Ana's virtuosity on the Classical Guitar is amazing and watching her beautiful fingera course the fretboard is almost hypnotic,

[@sbumgarner]

Beautiful!!

[@icespeckledhens]

Superb, thanks

[@MegaSaven]

Ottima performance! Fantastica!

[@raffitorossian6432]

extraordinary.....just superb...!

[@johnruggeri843]

What a wonderful performance.

[@abdul7591]

It doesn't hurt that she is as beautiful as the music itself.

[@thm4643]

At times, it seems like the whole world is in her guitar.

[@BernieHolland-w4l]

Her love of the music of Torroba finds expression through the exquisite sound of her guitar - no complaints from me !

[@hectorvincenti6127]

NUNCA un guitarrista pudo hacerme sentir la música como Ana.

[@komodo93433]

lovely as always.

[@plumleytube]

I was fortunate enough to see Ana perform live on Isle of Cumbrae last year

[@plosmzudt]

Una esecuzione molto ben fatta e lei è molto bella ...Bella musica e brava e bella l'intr'erprete

[@catalina525]

It is called practice every single day. That is how you remember the pieces. After all you are playing the same thing over and over. I am a classical guitarist as well and this piece is tricky.

[@alexanderpaurom6178]

In the midst of chaos and hate, music like this Anna Vidovic kind of river the melt the angry heart on this world

[@RajasubramaniamBalakrishnan]

Excellent !

[@joekavanagh5708]

Beauty to the ear and eye.

[@saturn9330]

She never ceases to amaze me. I bet she makes Jimmy Page jealous lol.

[@robinterkzer8128]

Wondrous ! xxxxxxx

[@sander1016]

my female favorite guitar player ever, she´s amazing.

[@davidcamp7437]

Rediculously accurate, In my opinion the best in the world today.

[@Darrell1019]

Miss Ana is easy on the eyes and sumptuous pleasure to the ears. The host is a pain.

[@10Slayer01]

Incredible!

[@bobkuman7]

Wow ! Ana looks so good in that blue gown. I think ana is one of very few women that deserve a title of 'Sexy Virtuoso'.

[@Panipinky]

Thank you for remembering our Korean audience at 26:17!

[@daleolmsted1966]

Exciting!

[@MrMichehl]

Wow ... Super ! ! !

[@carloonofri5885]

Ana ..ci sei entrata nel cuore

[@Michajeru]

I think that your comment if unfair, biased and extremely negative. Ana is, in fact, a world class virtuoso guitarist. Her guitar is a Redgate and has a beautiful sound with magnificent tonal variation and she brings out its rich color pallet. Her right hand technique is superb.

[@MrLauroMenon]

Você é D+, Alem d gata, toca muitooooo, Lindona!!!!

[@rufinosanchez2703]

La guitarrista Anna Vidovic además de su técnica privilegiada, les da su propia característica e interpretación a las obras. Muy bien, congratulaciones.

[@EliseoRaulAlvarez]

... no hay superlativos para expresar la admiración por Ana,.... principalmente por ella haber superado completamente cualquier dificultad con la digitación .. y tener el privilegio de poder expresar todas las emociones que le inspira la música que está tocando,... tener el privilegio de oírse a si misma, como si fuera otra persona la que está tocando..... quizás el superlativo mas apropiado sería envidia,... una sana envidia.-

[@sergeireshmedilov1961]

Браво!

[@stijndenys8412]

And of course great playing!

[@pajamasflannel]

There is no hesitation in her left hand fingering. No matter the distance from position to position nor the contortion of chordal and melodic voicing, she executes flawlessly as if she were one with the guitar.

[@손병호-e9q]

Beautiful

[@aguspasmanin4252]

cantik dan pinter guitar, I love you Ana
