Jason Vieaux And Yolanda Kondonassis: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[@MoTown-qd8fl]

I'm honestly surprised there isn't more music made for harp and classical guitar. They suit each other so well...

[@alejandralopezoliveros5067]

Lovely music! Just a note: Candombe is not from east Africa. It's actually a form of music and dance originated in Uruguay, some parts of Argentina and Brazil, by the African slaves. It combines lots of African traditions, as the slaves were from all the continent. Also, a huge part the characteristic music is due the the drums (chico, repique y piano), that were created by them and vary from the African ones. (Sorry for English, i'm not native)

[@johndeneau7667]

The harp is my all time favorite instrument, this was fantastic! The gentleman on the guitar was also quite good.

[@imaginimage6207]

Absolutely amazing combination. Jason has to be the most eclectic technical guitarist I've seen. What a combination of extremely unusual but exciting performers.

11:00 Valse, 2nd movement of the suite by Maximo Diego - what a wonderful piece!

[@illitero]

Harp is one of those instruments that I have difficulty wrapping my mind around. Not the execution of playing or how it works, but the precision necessary to play. It's amazing to watch.

[@malayat3137]

I’m a harpist as well, and honestly It’s not as hard as people think. It of course does get harder as you progress, but I actually find it easier to play than the piano and the guitar.

[@ArashAhmadiGuitar]

Guitar and harp work so well.

[@karenkueter8975]

Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so!

[@scottunkefer3753]

Absolutely beautiful and moving.

[@danireis16]

This is absolutely beautiful! Great musicians and great music. Greetings from Brazil!

This is a message to my best friend who for the sake of this comment I will call Strum. If you are seeing this comment today I want you to know that I'm so excited about jamming and rehearsing tomorrow with you, and also on Monday (yay, I get to see you two days in a row!). So glad there is music to keep us together and even more glad we can have so much fun chilling and doing nothing. Looking forward to future musical adventures with you and just generally being the funny lame awesome friends that we are. You are a gift to my life and may the Universe protect you and watch over you and send you all the love I have for you. :')

[@FinnBjerke]

Saties 3 Gymnopedies would be lovely in this combo.

[@071949]

Hi Finn, Not a combo, but if you have not already discovered it, please know that Amy Turk has done Gymnopedie #1 on solo harp on her You Tube channel.

[@FinnBjerke]

@@071949 thx lovely piece of music - good luck to you and thx for posting wonderfull music.

[@nicolemilman1795]

Kondonassis has a CD called Quietude with Satie pieces on it. The first Gymnopedie, Gnossiennes 1-3 🕊

[@Amsire1]

Beautiful atmospheric...

[@THESLOWDEATHHOOKS]

phenomenal

[@AlexandreBeyeler]

Very nice, Bravo.

[@ArtBusker]

Me encanta !!! Muy mágico "

[@yuehchopin]

sehr schön

[@soundknight]

I know you can basically do what you want in the studio as far as mic placement and who knows maybe Jason liked that sound position best but I think it is a terrible spot for a mono signal guitar. Beautiful tune and well played, Jason is a great player, I love putting his CD on in the car.

[@wapolo1974]

+Brian Cullen I have to agree with you regarding the mic placement for Jason's guitar; not a very flattering sound...

[@facciosean1]

Brian Cullen yeah I agree that the mic placement didn’t help their performance

[@Astromyxin]

Would be cool to add a hammer dulcimer to this combo.

[@Josh-xv9dw]

🔥🔥🔥 are you still listening in march This performance is lovely 1:33 💗 👇👇❣

[@peytonschwitters1291]

is there anywhere I can find the music for this? I would really like "Spirit of Trees" for a duet I'm in

[@rafman5268]

beautiful music,but one question: how does that freakin harp fit in a CAB ?? getting from the airport to the tiny desk offices MUST be a bitch

[@racer774]

+Rafman 52 - I don't know but I have a tiny violin. Shall I play it for you?

[@slzckboy]

I too was wondering about logistics :)

[@karenkueter8975]

There are ways.... lol.

[@malayat3137]

I’m a harpist as well, and let me tell you, You can’t get that in a cab unless it’s seats fold down and it still has a spacious trunk. She most likely had to rent an SUV of some kind cuz there ain’t no way that’s getting in anything smaller!😂

[@matteocalvetti4322]

Where do you find the score of the Hovhaness's sonata for guitar and harp please?

[@eugenioalonso1]

Is James Brown freaking anyone else out? Or is it just me?

[@racer774]

+eugenioalonso1 - He feels good. Why shouldn't you?

[@Astromyxin]

He's dead. He ain't feeling nothing where he's at.

[@racer774]

Astromyxin You obviously missed the drift or don't realize his signature song. Good day, sir.

[@prolegomenos57]

DEDICADA A MEMORIA DO DOCINHO MAIS DOCINHO DO CARNAVAL CARIOCA,ANECY ROCHA.

[@threedognight7]

but that thumb nail... eek!

[@calebmauer1751]

I wish you hadn't pointed that out.

[@davehenning7747]

I bet it's a slice of a ping pong ball. Seriously, I used to play jazz gigs with Jason back in the day.

[@mediocregamer9011]

needs more cowbell

[@nowmuz]

Don't vibrate so much!!!!! I like your playing, but IF you vibrate every last note of sentence, you ruin all good music!!!!!

[@martinet1985]

Piotr Aleksander Nowak is there a "rule" which says you can't even if you want to? I don't think so...
