There is so much music out there on youtube , that it can be overwhelming. So, when I want to listen to some classical guitar, it is either Julian Bream, or Jennifer Kim. Totally satisfying. What I love about her playing, particularly in slower pieces, is the sense of real tranquility she brings to the music. It is never rushed, and she gives the music the natural pacing that it requires. Then, in faster pieces such as in the last movement of this Barrios work, her virtuosity is just astounding.

[@gitaarmanad3048]

Thank you Jennifer Kim, you brought tears to my eyes from beauty and joy.

AGUSTÍN PÍO BARRIOS, un paraguayo inmortal. Un grande de verdad!

[@samjones9214]

Wonderful tone from Jennifer Kim on this much loved piece. On a guitar which is now well over 60 years old! Fabulous.

[@Crashinglegos]

Fantastic! Amazingly fast and precise. I’ve been playing twenty years and still can’t believe things like this are real. To get through the whole piece without a missed note. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this.

[@eschelar]

She mildly flubbed I think 4 notes. Nothing missed, but a few imperfect. LH errors, not RH. It's like when you're an Asian and your Asian parents are like "why did you get 99.8%? not 100%????". Her personality shone through and the notes she missed didn't matter. I got goosebumps!

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

@@eschelar Yeah, no one likes perfectionists and great art is not a question of perfection, but of expression of beauty and emotion! You got that wrong in Asia for sure! Still, you also produce so many talented young artists on almost all classical instruments now, that the few creating art over perfectionism really are among the elite in the world.

This girl (Jennifer) just loves the guitar, a tone that comes from the heart

I know this was 6 yrs ago but it is such a beautiful piece of music that I had to comment. Thank you Jennifer for an outstanding performance!💕👏👏👏👏👏👏

Superb fingering that is so precise and clean sounding. Kim really makes her guitar sing. She is up there with the best.

[@theopaopa1]

No metronome, No robot, Expressive. Yes !! Congratulations, Jennifer ! Many contemporaries of Agustin Barrios have affirmed that this is how he interpreted it in his concerts. Only for the recording it seems that he did not agree to divide it into two sections, side A and side B of the album, and that is why he executed it (never better said) so quickly. Nowadays, almost all the guitarists on the planet play it like this. That I only know Jorge Cardoso and the undersigned we interpret it without metronome, just like the fantastic Miss Kim, whom I wish a long and fortunate future in music.

She is an amazing talent for the future of classical guitar. Her tremolo technique is without equal. (see other youtube posts) She always has great musicality and emotion in her works. This is so good for the art to have this modern talent driving it forward.

Beautiful. one of the Best performances I've heard. Fantastic.

[@jeffmoore9487]

In the Allegro you achieve some faster passages than some of the best classical guitarists on the planet. I've been clocking people. Kinda Nerdy, but when you listen to the original by Barrios he plays the whole Allegro through in 2:21. It simply takes flight to my ears and so I was curious. For reference Williams takes a ponderous 3:04 and 3:15 in two different takes. Berta Rojas comes close but is playing more softly than you and everyone is playing less staccato than Barrios. Nobody picks the single string runs on the low notes, they all use hammer ons. Barrios does as far as I can tell! Barrios was a monster. You come closest to getting the same urgency that is kind of the heart of the Allegro. Congrats! People below crit. your tone in the beginning. They're wrong. Your high strings in the very beginning sound like a peak of some sadness and contrast strongly with the accompaniment. Perfect!

[@Hannah-fh9sm]

Flawless technique. Some of the high notes in Part A went splat and tasto strokes could have been warmer. The Part C arpeggios were played like a video game, she had fun with it. But sounded more like a race car weaving, uneven. Again, it’s not her- it’s her teacher. He has a true diamond in the rough, and must go further to polish it. This gal will go very far, haven’t heard anyone like her since Nicola Hall before she injured her hand...

[@juspreetsandhu8446]

Jennifer - This is a wonderful interpretation. Especially the Allegro Solemn, which has a very nice balance between the the Bass Line and Treble Line. It's wonderfully clean, with just the right amount of Rubato. You haven't lost the melancholy, despite not having unnecessarily loud bass lines like many other interpretations. For the 1st movement, the sound for the E string sounds a little curt, but that could just be the strings. You have a wonderful future ahead! Bravo!

[@jakemf1]

Does anyone else think that melody in the start is very thin? Strings perhaps, but not very singing in its tone quality!

[@thibaultjaberg4658]

Yes I was thinking the exact same thing. It might be due to the nail angle or something like that

[@epoxiconazole1]

The sound is thin and disapear very quicky...

[@Ratatoing42]

Problem is probably her A finger being too long or poorly filed.

[@jgoldie100]

I was literally about to comment the same thing but other than that it was pretty good.

[@jakemf1]

She is an outstanding player!
