Primavera Porteña by Astor Piazzolla, performed by Stephanie Jones

[@taouinche]

I can hardly imagine the enormous amount of work required to achieve this degree of virtuosity. Bravo!

[@philoumars3168]

She is not Jesus !!!

[@taouinche]

@@philoumars3168 What are you talking about? I don't see the parallel between finding someone's work remarkable and the blissful admiration of the religious...

[@FionaMisty]

@@philoumars3168 uhh that's a weird thing to say lol.

[@Ducklingy57]

@@philoumars3168 I just spoke with God, turns out she really is Jesus

[@pascalsolal]

@@philoumars3168 She is much better than Jesus. She only celebrates joy and beauty, rather than suffering.

[@DocLisboa]

In the past 2 weeks I've been hearing over than 15 top classical guitarrists playing this Primavera (and others, Otono & Invierno) and none else plays Piazzolla like Stephanie, indeed! Piazzolla requires energy, passion, some violence and a honey swetness, sometimes all together along a single phrasing, free rithym, free dynamics and so on.... Missing to hear Verano Porteno with her!!! I'm absolutely sure that Sérgio Assad is very proud, rapt and joyful on hearing (and seeing) Stephanie playing his arrangements for guitar of these 4 Piazzolla's master pieces. She hit on the nail! In fact, on the strings! :)👏👏👏👏

[@RADThird1]

Get her new album with the Verano on it. link is in the description. Wonderful record!

[@emiliomalbran]

nowadays virtuoses play often Piazzolla on guitar , we are talking the best ones Gorbach , Thu Le , Kuyhee Park , Xuefei Yang...well ...noone gets close Stephanie !

[@michaelpotts5432]

Incredible strength, fluidity, precision, and passion. She's got it all !!

[@uneedtherapy42]

this is incredible but seriously how incredible is Sergio Assad's arranging skills!!!!!

[@Gustavopinto70]

Thank's for the information. I didn't know this arrangement. Fantastic!

[@andreacortini2855]

Actually is "brava"

[@sarahsailo4959]

@M T no this piece was arranged by sergio assad himself

[@rafaelhpalomino]

He is wonderful as player and composer too. A real genius.

[@nassreddin3064]

the balance between virtuosity, technique and multiple emotional qualities are unparalleled. I am in total awe.

[@pabloleonardopesantez7623]

Y a pesar de toda locura, toda tragedia y la decepción que muchas veces nos causa la vida, la vida tiene todo el sentido del mundo... gracias por mover las fibras más recónditas que a veces uno ni sabe que existen... Sos una genia total. Millón bendiciones niña preciosa!!!

[@natepark2973]

Man she makes it look so easy... the melody alone is so complex. Her touch dynamics are on point. This is why I love classical more than electric, its more of an expression of oneself.

[@sangresolida]

Definitely. People tend to overpraise guitarists like Clapton and Hendrix, to name a few of them, but classically-trained guitarists will always sound more... Emotionally musical-or musically emotional. It's hard to describe, you just have to feel it. And what is art in general without feeling?

[@pascalsolal]

@@sangresolida Agree. Today, after decades of playing electric guitar, I'm returning to classical (thanks to KZbin, by the way!). To me, it's like going back to the roots! As if classical guitar was the only REAL guitar.

[@ivanbadaev6621]

If this looks easy, then I'm a unicorn xD Jesus it's hard to even imagine what a huge ton of practice went into this performance Edit: might be easy for her though

[@noahbjorklofdolan4911]

A jaw-droppingly good guitarist, if that is a word

[@Jasper_4444]

Yes! If it isn't a word, let's decide it is a word now.

[@tesla3176]

The amount of difficulty on this piece is crazy and you played it flawlessly. It appears your playing it with easy. And the emotion you put into the music makes it even better. Thank you for your talent Stephanie. 🤘😎🤘❣

[@pascalsolal]

Among all the young classical guitarists on KZbin, she's my favorite. Perfect technique, great feeling, rhythmical flexibility... and how beautiful she sounds!

[@josephmiller5399]

Astor Piazzolla lives! Such sensitivity and artistry! So glad to learn about your music, Ms. Jones.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

As I said about Invierno Porteno and Otono Porteno, this Primavera Portena is awesome too. Something to cherish. Sometimes young people express it better than old people.

[@roberthunt1540]

There is simply no stopping this woman! IMO, on of the very top performers in the world today. And btw, what a wonderfully sonorous instrument. Glückwunsch an Sie Herr Schmidt!

[@Olegstuff21986]

Wer ist Herr Schmidt? :)

[@jsguitargeek1432]

Remarkable.........simply.........absolutely remarkable. Old dudes out there??? (myself @68 included) - our beloved classical guitar is in good hands

[@V-Kuznetsov]

Above all, very clean interpretation, without any outside sounds. And the musical and stylistic taste is supreme! *B R A V O!*

[@garyjulian3148]

The renditions of this fantastic piece by Ms Jones get better and better.

[@iZephyr6]

This playing is full of more than technical things, its pure music...feelings...wonderful playing...one of my favorite guitarists,indeed.

[@bellutta]

GET THIS CD, GET THIS CD!!! When I signed up for your kickstarter I was not expecting such a gem! Felicidade is obviously my favorite but Agua E Vinho left me in pieces and in tears. Thank you Stephanie.

[@franksabatino7576]

Having already declared Stephanie a cultural treasure for another performance, I can only say thanks for this mindbendingly exquisite piece.

[@crazydougthewolf]

Brilliant!

[@ivomondini4018]

Técnica extraordinária. Stepahnie interpreta Piazzolla de forma preciosa. É como se a orquestra do Maestro estivesse reunida inteiramente nas 6 cordas de sua guitarra. Congratulações!

[@DicasDoFofinho]

O arrangamento é de um brasileiro, Sérgio Assad. Ele arrangou todas as obras do Piazzolla, tocadas pela Stephanie em seu canal.

[@HarryVerey]

Absolutely fabulous rendition by one of the most outstanding young guitarists of our time IMHO . Excellent audio and video recording too.

[@kathleenrobson4744]

This is a comment i read from a year ago but still is true. "Among all the young classical guitarists on KZbin, she's my favourite. Perfect technique, great feeling, rhythmical flexibility... and how beautiful she sounds!" I love all she is . Mike.

[@cycling.guitarist]

Her interpretation of Piazzolla is the best, energetic, rhythmic, melodic sensuality, second to none!

[@marianofernandez8745]

GRACIAS , STEPHANIE POR REPRESENTAR TAN HERMOSAMENTE A MI AMADO PAIS.( ARGENTINA )

[@alessandroseveso7315]

Finalmente la chitarra classica si amplia di tanti nuovi brani, di talentuose e imprevedibili esibizioni. Passione, coraggio, bravura e talento. Apprezzo molto. Bravissima

[@FockeWulfFW200]

I love "primavera porteña". I mean, for real. Living here in the city in september-october-november (spring time here) is just beautiful. Too sad covid forces me to stay inside a damned apartment, but still.... No surprises on why Piazzolla got inspired

[@lazarovallejos7112]

sentir el tango que viene de tan admirable ejecución, es admirable. gracias por contribuir a que el tango no muera. saludos desde Argentina

[@Jimbojam]

just saw her live at Benaroya Hall in seattle 2 nights ago. so amazing!

[@fingerhorn4]

Extraordinary how Stephanie gets such a rich sound, and articulation in the left and right hands with such economy of movement.

[@thomastepfer9861]

Stephanie Jones' dymamik, precision..., is "simply:" outstanding.

[@MethenySco]

I’ve waited until now to say this player is astounding, among the absolutely best. Also her position cross legged is so relaxed and natural.

[@eddierayvanlynch6133]

Yes! I was waiting for the Spring-time section, and it's now my favorite. Stephanie really seems to connect with the Piazzolla material, and I'm psyched that she's able to up her game so consistently. She not only commands the guitar, she seems to enjoy it more with each performance. Breath-taking. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@vladi-saden]

Гениальная исполнительница! Спасибо Стефани!!!

[@ignaziocabula5320]

Stephanie, mi stupisci sempre, anche se ti ascolto da anni la tua pulizia, chiarezza, tecnica insuperabili ma soprattutto il sentimento che esprimi è sempre magistrale

[@terusco]

Increìble!!! me encantó!!!

[@AngelHadzi]

Now is Spring in Buenos Aires, the true "Primavera Porteña" I see thru my windows, and this music makes it even better You really nailed it, you are amazing! Congrats from Argentina

[@gregorglasbruch6917]

After almost 50 years of practicing and playing such an outstanding performance makes me thinking about what to do, practicing like crazy or giving up. Anyway, I will go on, the journey is the reward.

[@charstringetje]

Making music is not a contest. No matter how often people try to turn it into one.

[@tejodokus]

Same here Klaus, think I will stick to listening from now on..

[@philipnoone2747]

I love the sound you get from your Paul Sheridan guitar, your virtuosic execution and unique interpretation of each piece. But above all I love the self-evident way you express such joyful delight like you're really enjoying what your playing with such freedom and wonderful individuality!!!!!

[@mwmcbroom]

What an incredible talent! I've been binge watching her videos and, as a classical player of many years, I gotta say Ms Jones is a rare talent. I would love it if she were to record the 12 Etudes by Villa-Lobos. She has that uncommon ability to do them justice.

[@takedugala]

From Mar del Plata, city where Astor Piazzolla was born, excellent. Thank you

[@Lucygeno]

WONDERFUL!!!!!!, Greetings from Mexico

[@nahuelcutrera]

I love it, is very good!, feels great to hear an argentinian composer played by people from other countries. Lots of love send to you from argentina.

[@thomastepfer9861]

I praised S.J. here and there allready. She belongs to the very high class. Thx, Stephanie! But, this whole recording is very high class, too. So thx for this to those who made it possible, too!

[@Michael-xo8lw]

Spectacular

[@djffe8597]

To sit there so relaxed and play such difficult music the best it can possibly be performed it’s just a gift thank you so much. I wonder if the composer and arranger had any idea it would sound that impeccable.

[@marinapaccagnan546]

To think, she just busted this out from memory...

[@tofuchewer]

@@pookie9461 thats not a problem

[@sangresolida]

@@tofuchewer Exactly. That's actually a great skill when playing music. Always rely on yourself-learn the piece and then play it by heart.

Que lindo escucharla. Un gran saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷🙏

[@BIZEB]

To do something unique in this era with a classical guitar, amidst so many great performers on this platform is not easy. It's quite astonishing how you elevate the instrument and do justice to such an outstanding composer. The arrangement is quite clearly magnificent, too. Spotless playing, infused with so much life, I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling quite grateful to be able to listen to it. Thank you for sharing, and I'm looking forward to your CD.

[@briantorney980]

As great as the technique is it is a pleasure to see the artist enjoying themselves while playing.

[@NandoRochaGuitarrista]

Amazing! Absolute control of the guitar and dynamics! Big fan here from Brazil!

THE FOUR SEASONS OF BUENOS AIRES The "Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas," also known as the "Estaciones Porteñas" or "The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires," are a set of four tango compositions written by Ástor Piazzolla (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astor_Piazzolla,) which were originally conceived and treated as different compositions rather than one suite, although Piazzolla performed them together from time to time. The pieces were scored for his quintet of violin (viola), piano, electric guitar, double bass and bandoneón. By giving the adjective porteño, referring to those born in Buenos Aires, the Argentine capital city, Piazzolla gives an impression of the four seasons in Buenos Aires. The Seasons... Verano Porteño (Buenos Aires Summer, 1965) Invierno Porteño (Buenos Aires Winter, 1969) Primavera Porteña (Buenos Aires Spring, 1970) Otoño Porteño (Buenos Aires Autumn, 1970) In 1996-1998, the Russian composer Leonid Desyatnikov made a new arrangement of the above four pieces with more obvious link between Vivaldi and Piazzolla, by converting each of pieces into three-section pieces, and re-arranging for solo violin and string orchestra. In each piece he included several quotations from original Vivaldi's work but due to seasons being inverted between northern and southern hemispheres, thus, for example, Verano Porteño had added elements of L'inverno (Winter) of Vivaldi. (Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estaciones_Porteñas) Greetings from Rosario, Argentina.
