Verano Porteño (Astor Piazzolla) - Alexandra Whittingham

[@OldTomato44]

Can we talk about how perfect her note execution was? She didn't just hit all the notes cleanly, she incorporated a range of emotional intelligence that's RARELY seen in performers-- and she's only 19!!!

[@martinchochola6908]

Yeah I also see that her performance is not only well correct, it also rythmically precise and well balanced in emotions

[@opinogratis6702]

Guitarists usually put their scores on a stand, but Alexandra arranges them on the floor, she has a good view and a very good ear. She has time to arrange her hair, and perform the most famous work of the great Astor. 19 years old, talent, charm and sensitivity that dazzles even an Argentinean like me. Thank you very much, Ale. Congratulations and long life!

You captured the essence of Argentina in that Piazzolla masterpiece - from the tango moves, to the wine country and the heavenly cuisine, to the romantic culture, to the economic hardships, to the majestic landscape, to the sociopolitical perseverance, and beyond.

There are 126 people who dislike the unbelievable talent of this, then 19 year old, and frankly I wonder what their ability would be like, either on this instrument or for that matter musical achievement. Beyond belief. I thought it FANTASTIC but then I am only a mere ordinary guitarist.

Sos una excelente guitarrista Alexandra ! ... como un aporte con oído argentino te recomiendo que escuches o veas guitarristas argentinos ... es importante que los cortes y el rasguido suenen más tanguero-argentinos y menos a guitarra española-andaluza ... los cortes del guitarrero de tango argentino son los que le dan el sabor gardeliano y de pichuco Troilo, que es el que llevaba puesto Piazzolla cuando interpretaba sus maravillosas creaciones ... te felicito Alexandra porque sos una guitarrista notable y te animaste a interpretar nada menos que al Maestro Piazzolla, con un gran resultado ! Abrazo grande.

[@JaimePenagosGuitar]

tomarle el sabor al tango es bien complejo. Buen video, buen trabajo, pero estoy de acuerdo con vos. Saludos

[@caitoteam]

Estoy de acuerdo contigo. Esta totalmente alejada de la "roña" del tango ... Pero tampoco es muy buena interprerte, le falta muuuuucho para ser una de las grandes como Filomena Moretti o Anna Vidivic pero vale que de inicio a lo suyo y que haya elegido a Piazzolla para su repertorio.
