First time ever seeing a classical guitar with that many strings.

[@magenta-rosepark4965]

Also her playing is beautiful. ❤❤👍👍

[@leonardomarques4591]

Petra is absolutely awesome! Clearly, perfectly colored and a trully idiomatic performance. Bravo!!!!

[@davidschestenger3366]

Petra “sculpt” the sound, her tempo, and musicality are FANTASTIC An inspiration

[@guyhirschberger]

Petra, in my opinion, demonstrates the difference between being "only" a guitarist and being a musician. Amazing playing!

[@seankasabuske1986]

Her musicality is breathtaking! Have you heard her performance of Weiss' famous Tombeau Sur La Mort De M Comte De Logy? If not, look for it here on KZbin. It's unmatched, IMO.

[@thomasbeie2463]

Your playing makes me dreaming. Thank you very much! God bless you!

[@user-lx3nq5zc9s]

I do love your fantastic performance! 👍 🎶💕

[@daneshed2105]

A great joy listening to Petra. Her utmost dedication to the music and the instrument are very much visible to the listener, and her performance is nothing but honestly compatible with that devotedness.

[@Ferdinandus1955]

Love your instrument beautiful sound, thank you for your playing

[@cmosheh]

Petra, your commanding musicianship is pitch-perfect and in tune with each style. Simply an extraordinary performance!!!

[@joekail8031]

An absolute stellar artist! Nothing short of genius

[@marcelo.cau.]

A really great concert!! Bravo

[@DanFromIran]

who else is blown away by the clarity, sustain and bass response of the first guitar? I've never seen an "early guitar" with such powerful sound.

[@freddiefrumko4230]

This performance was splendid.

[@worldsheaviestjamband93]

Well this certainly the definitive performance of P. 71. Wonderful performance!

[@user-fr8wj8oi5m]

Просто прекрасно!!!

[@doneitel]

I needed a moment after listening to take it all in. Beautifully done.

[@Larry30102]

Petra….one of my favorite guitarists. Awesome performance.

[@ve2xdx]

Mine too as of today. Amazing is an understatement!

[@windsorwoman]

Beautifully, masterfully inspiring!

[@robinterkzer8128]

Wonderful !

[@rudhardotcom]

Of all the fine guitars I heard Petra play on, in my opinion this special one, even without taking into account the special extra low strings, sounds the best of all.

[@rudhardotcom]

I mean the 9-string romantic guitar by Jan Tuláček. She plays other guitars in this video too, so my comment might be confusing.

[@thinkpad20]

6:34 omg. it just build and builds. Amazing counterpoint executed flawlessly.

[@elipsis620304]

Bravo, Petra.

[@mauromillan6548]

Bravo!

[@marctucciaronemusic7738]

Other -worldly artist ! What a beautiful sound ! I would love to hear her interpret Weiss

[@guitarsinternational369]
