Sharon Isbin - Asturias

The Sharon's version of Asturias it's one of the best I have heard until now. Excellent performance!!!!

[@jonluxy4431]

I am learning this piece now and notice she is relaxed and lets her notes ring so nicely, has very disciplined left and right hands. In the pizzicato part that leads up to the harmonic on the 19th fret she plays what is a series of what I see as eighth notes as a series of two sixteenth notes. I like her version better. I like the way she effectively stretches and tightens the tempo for feeling and sometimes pauses between sections. It flows beautifully and it is like flamenco which is always passionate. I began taking lessons 5 years ago at age 58 and no doubt would like to take a few lessons from her, but I doubt my wife would allow it (the 'she's too good looking ' rule - LOL). Classical guitar was always on my bucket list, inspired by the vinyl records my parents played when I was young. I now put in 2 hours a day and look forward to retiring when I can put in more time. Sharon is a real talent and truly gives something to aspire to!

[@tommoylan7069]

Insanely good. Perfection. I LIKE the dramatic staging, fuzzy camera lenses. What I really appreciate, beyond the technical accomplishment she achieves with the tremolos, is how her intimate interpretation of the middle segments of the piece are brought out to become incredibly interesting instead of 'filler' between the arpeggiated portions. She challenges me, as an amateur guitarist, to try and bring out those as well. Thank you, Sharon!

[@SuperCarver2011]

Sharon plays this with so much feeling. Great tremolo and rasquedo style. Her execution is so relaxed and flawless., especially the softer passage in the middle.

[@stevelc777]

I play this, and I have heard many versions, but this is the best version I've heard.

[@carlocroccolo771]

Sharon Isbin was a pupil of Andrea Segovia (the greatest guitar player, perfect, A METRONOMO, but metronomes have no heart .... !!). That's why the pupil has passed the teacher ..... !!!!! Some "perfectionists" will comment "too fast" is not true ... Sharon plays Asturias passionately and accurately, note by note, without jumping or making any mistakes .... It's the best performance ever listened ..... !! !!!!

[@MrJuliesguy]

I don't see how anyone can criticize this, it is played perfectly and the video itself it very tastefully and professionally done, personally, I really appreciate this video.

[@jionnie]

Iron Feliks I guess there are many different levels of accomplish guitarists . …. and this girl has certainly accomplished this piece ! I think if anyone one has anything negative to say …. it would probably be her manner in which she over does the drama in her movements . In other words she's not as good as she thinks she is ! Although this is just a video . I'd prefer just to watch her play without the ego !

[@LilMessaldo]

jionnie I'm thinking that you might not know who she is. She really is as good as she thinks she is. In fact, to get to her level of perfectionism, she's probably more critical of her own playing than any of her critics are. I think that she's earned the right to display a bit of a stage persona, especially considering that she's one of those performance-crazy instructors at Juilliard who make it their life's ambition to foster similar passion in their students. She's inspired my kids, who started classical guitar at ages 7 and 9 respectively. They love her playing and classical guitar in general so much that they refuse even to pick up their electrics. They even play Metallica on their classical guitars. I don't know. If this woman can inspire two little kids to practice so much at such a young age (just as Messi and Ronaldo have inspired them in football), I say more power to her!

[@IronChe]

Iron Feliks I'll tell you how. She starts playing with mysterious arpeggio, making, let's say, me, wondering what is this going to be, creating ominous atmosphere, full of ambiguity. Adding bass strings make it even better. Then she puts some flamenco chords, breaking the feeling with more cheerful spice and then I think " oh, great another flamenco player, but maybe this time it'll be different" . But it turns out it isn't. Mandatory slowdown, mandatory fast bass addition to slow part. And feeling, that you're hearing something, you've already heard. After this wonderful prelude, my hopes were really high. Too bad for me, I guess.

[@MrJuliesguy]

Nothing mysterious about it, it was published in 1892 by a Spanish pianist and played by Flamenco guitarists ever since, it is the perfection of her form that is amazing, it is kind of like American blues guitar, invented down south and responsible for Rock and Roll, lots of people can play it but few really capture the gritty essence of a Keith Richards and these days, very few new Blues guys bring anything new to the style, this Flamenco lady pumps life into a style that many butcher.

[@dracorpgroup]

Her artistry is evocatively nuanced with attention to the diminishing string sound, clarity and wonderful tempo. It would be a treat to know who crafted her guitar.

[@davidkellyclassicalguitar6905]

I have seen many renditions of this all over KZbin and in my opinion this is downright the best version out there, it encapsulates all of the delicate moments so perfectly that i'm not sure it can really be matched by any other version (and yes including John Williams as good as his is). To me, this is the definitive version.

[@AlexandrosIoannides]

What about Ana Vidovic my friend

[@bmoraga01]

At this level of expertise, it all becomes a matter of whose interpretation you prefer at any given time. Sharon, Ana, John, Andres...it doesn't matter to me. Each one's rendition is breathtaking to me. And I've been playing well over 50 years.

[@alestev24]

@@AlexandrosIoannides Vidovic is close in my opinion, when it comes to overall "Wow" factor. There are at least two videos of her on youtube playing leyenda. The newer one is the better one I feel. There seem to be some minute hick-ups in Isbin's version. No such thing in Vidovic's. However, the overall interpretation of Isbin, especially, how she explores the different dynamics, makes me, personally "feel" the music a little bit more than Vidovic's versions. Vidovic seems to combine John Williams' technical perfection (which, to me, completely lacks soul) with a good dose of emotional expression. Isbin is just a tiny bit less perfect, but I think (or rather feel), that she captures the emotion a little bit better. But it is down to personal taste, really. Speaking of personal taste, I like Virginia Luque's very aggressive, very Flamanco like version extremely well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4uqqI2bj6yMaKs However, what is true for all three women in my view, is that they all play this piece considerably better than the much acclaimed John Williams. Did he play it technically perfectly and as fast as it can be played? Yes, but that's about it.

You play beautifully WITH SOUL AND PASSION of a woman - the gentleness you offer I have never heard applied in such a way to this piece - the contrast is Asturias past and present ...

[@davidalbro2009]

I saw Sharon Isbin perform this at the beautiful Touhill theater in St Louis in 2005. I was just a few yards from her. I was a vocal performance major at the time. Although I recognized the piece, I didn't know it is basically the most famous piece ever written for classical guitar. I was blown away by her entire performance. Since then I've said that if I had seen her perform when I was a kid, I would have been a guitar player instead. It's an amazing experience to be so close to someone during a live performance who is literally one of the best people on the planet at what they do.

[@TheMummy516]

I very much love how 90% of you critics don't play guitar and yet critique her technique and playing capabilities. This was a perfect rendition of the song Asturias and Sharon Isbin ranks among the top classical guitar players in existence. I am certain that not one single person in the comment section can play to anywhere near her level, considering getting to this level requires decades of study and practice.

[@evanbull4588]

Really, there is no "perfect" version of this piece, I've heard lots of other versions, And a lot of them are played beautifully. Artists add their own personal touch to make it theirs own. Bars 63 through 79, she plays very softly and slowly. Where as in other versions the artist will play it at a kind of a medium speed. Also she emphasizes on accenting the low E in bars 17 through 25. I love it when artists add their own personal touch and I love it even more when it works so beautifully with the song. Music played "perfectly" is just sounds, when we add our own touch it becomes music. As a guitar player I flock to songs like this and listen to the different versions to draw inspiration and help me discover different ways I can play.

At first, I wasn't sure if I liked her long pauses, but after a while, they grew on me. Her long pauses made me want to hear the next note. This tactic (?) created more tension which made the piece more interesting to listen to. I have heard a number of guitarists play this piece and have liked them all, however, her interpretation is one of my favorites. She is a Triple-A muscian that doesn't need or deserve to take a back seat to no one. I also appreciated the camera work. I especially enjoyed the triple shot featuring her in the middle, her right hand (close up) on the left, and her left hand (close up) on the right. The cameraperson and/or director also deserves a thumbs up.

You could try again. I gave up about 50 years ago, too. (I've-restarted and after many months can play SOME of this--VERY SLOWLY, and a couple of easier things). Although, to be honest, I wasn't very determined to do ANYTHING at that age. If you are retired, you might be able to commit the time to it that it takes to see progress. I think THAT was my error. I was impatient. I am not sure I agree that some people are just no musical or whatever. Perhaps its true, but you could at least learn a few simple things. Especially with the aid of tablature, which is all I can read in any case. And in the end, its also great to be able to appreciate great music, and this is certainly that.
