Bonjour, à toute l’équipe et aux intervenants, j’ai fait le mois dernier un hommage exceptionnel à Paris pour ma grand-mère Ida Presti. Je vous remercie infiniment de cet image que vous rendez et que je rends à chaque fois que je peux en faisant une conférence musicale avec des archives inédites temps audio que visuel, et je suis très très heureuse de commentaires et de la façon dont vous avez si bien parlé d’elle. Bientôt, c’est-à-dire demain sortira une petite vidéo de Savarez qui évoque le moment de partage que nous avons tous eu lors de cet image. Encore merci pour elle pour son oeuvre pour son genie pour la femme qu elle était merveilleuse et si musicale je continuerais à oeuvrer pour mieux la faire connaitre dans le monde entier Merci encore pour votre video Isabelle Presti❤

I met Mario Maccaferri in NYC in the 80s. He talked about giving Ida lessons when she was a child and recalled in awe how he could never really give her homework because she repeated passages instantly on the spot as if remembering rather than learning them. Django loved Bach and when Presti and Lagoya played for him privately he was moved to tears and openly wept for joy.

The argument about talent is the one I use when my wife talks about my "talent." I worked hard to get a skill & made some good recordings, but after years of little practice and learning, I have lost the skills and my daughter has experienced the same. Julian Bream is one of my favourite musician/educators and his method is quite clear - work at each piece, each technique. Paco de Lucia felt he was almost going insane with the effort he put into his music and exploration. Ida Presti is a very worthy musician to keep to the fore. Thanks.

I have a very extensive background with the guitar. I was getting video taped since I was a kid. I started as an electric player. Then switched to classical. I worked with the best in the world. All over EU and the USA. I don't believe hardwork is the key. I was practicing 8 hours a day at a time and my playing was not that good during performance. It's more about quality of practice. But the biggest factor is your approach. The way I think of technique is just "the efficiency of bring out a musical idea". I dropped all technique "rules". Music dominates and directs the way my hands move. Therefore there are a lot of subtle things I do that don't fit a technique methodology. But it's all guided by music and the music is guided by inspiration and visions. I'm also a big believer in the power of manifestation. The universe is not simple. The laws of physics breakdown at a quantum level. Our minds and thoughts effect the sound and music we play. There's also something called inspired action. Have a dream and go towards it intuitively. Don't follow a method or routine. Let dreams and intuition guide your progress. But most of all keep the dream in you and let inspire you and walk towards it.

@MehdiJafri-y5z 3 ай бұрын

Be led by a dream. Let your actions be aligned to it. The other masters i believe that followd this approach all - Leonardo DaVinci. Bach. Beethoven. Mozart. They worked ofcourse but they took upon it intuitively and there work was a natural result of having visions, dreams, and passion for something. As humble as they seem, the greats have always become greats in part because they have visions of themselves being great.

Jakob and Stephanie, Ida Presti has been an inspiration to me for my whole life, I'm 82, and although I am a clarinetist, not a guitarist, listening to music and talented musicians, has been a part of me since I was very little. You both express yourselves so intelligently and clearly and have said many things about Ida and Her husband that I didn't fully realize...Thank You:) There will always be musicians whose ability to inspire and communicate musically cannot be examined and dissected, because their abilities are a Gestalt of the components, physical and mental in each one, that makes them more than the sum of these things. When that happens we have Prestis and many others who enrich our lives. Thank You, Fredrick Spector

Excellent, too-short video about Presti and Presti-Lagoya. I no longer play, but I was almost pathologically obsessed with "classical" (I hate that term) guitar for many decades, and eventually played in local venues. Even back in the early 1960s, when I started playing, Presti was legendary in the guitar world. She is still incredibly almost completely unknown, even amongst guitarists. This video is a very welcome contribution to her place in the world of guitar.

@@mauriceeccles3373You won't be disappointed. Her collaboration with Lagoya is legendary. Guitarists of their generation and before virtually never travelled very far or made many recordings. The single exception was Segovia, who was the only one of them to travel the world, repeatedly, and became (as he himself put it) "the apostle of the guitar", and this is why Segovia became practically synonymous with the instrument. There were better guitarists than he was in his own time, but they never went anywhere.

I am 62 years old. Country music is more my thing. I have been playing guitar mandolin, Dobre and banjo for over 40 years. But I never could achieve a level of accuracy or speed due to physical limitations. I firmly believe that talent is more nature, if you prefer, God-given. It was not lack of motivation on my part that I never learned to play well, but physical limitations, and the fact that, I needed to work for a living

Another excellent production, great work Tonebase! I was JUST recently thinking about unearthing some of her old gems for my own studies/platform as they are uncommon to a lot of players today, so this vid is great timing. A formidable collection of Presti’s works can be found on Spotify, specifically the Blue album cover entitled, ‘Segovia and his contemporaries’ which is where I discovered her remarkable talent or “feeling” which is as most of us know, quite a bit separate of technical skill. We used to say “feeling” in the metal scene in the early 90’s but I guess todays parallel would be “musicality”? Those two aforementioned measures in symbiosis (feeling/technique) are the mark of a master*, as she will be remembered! Least to me, and I only discovered her two summers ago. Thks /JW

In those days, training and discipline often meant going so far as to cause physical injuries. There are testimonials of self mutilation, guitarists ruining their left hand permanently with extreme finger stretching exercises. Nowadays people are more concerned about their health and good ergonomics. Playing with a bent versus straight wrist is no longer a matter of dogma. A bent wrist poses risks to your joints, tendons and ligaments. Our vision and knowledge about the use of the instrument evolves, and that is a good thing.

@tomgutierrez7573 4 ай бұрын

There is no question that Ida Presti was one of the great giants of classical guitar. I would say she was a giant in the world of classical music, in general. The gorgeous ensemble between her and Alexandre Laggoya is really on the same level. I find listening to the recordings they made together to be inspiring and one of the richest experiences I have in classical music. I am sorry she dies so young and ma deeply grateful for what she left us.

Do they bring anything new to the table, are they msaking inventions, do they compose, new magical stuff ,for the instrument. That"s what matter, and that"s why, a rather rudimentary guitarist like Keith Richards matters, cause he got a gift, the gift to envent magic. !00 of guitarist play better than him, but none of them, really matters, cause their great skills, wasn"t going in any new directions, be one to follow.

It kind of makes me mad when someone says "Your so talented" when the reality is, I have invested countless hours practicing. I guess I feel like the time I have spent is being disregarded. I am not saying talent doesn't exist, I feel that it's much less of a factor than what has been ascribed.

The goal is to find the thing that you are talented in, mix that with interest, timing, physical attributes, the right tutor, family support, so that you can reach master level in whichever field you pursue in the least amount of time. Only then, that skill which you have mastered, others will call talent.

They planned to play some concerts together but shortly after, in 1949, Neveau died tragically in a 'plane crash, aged only 30. If the Presti-Neveau Duo had been formed, it's possible that Presti-Lagoya, the greatest guitar duo of the 20th century,, might never have happened.

Been playing for 58 years now...........my teacher studied with Rodrigo Riera one of the 4 Segovia disciples.........what does this mean? 2 hours of scales a day........getting my hands in olympic shape with of course much attention to the apoyando or rest stroke which I do not see or hear much use of in this video .........with all respect for different tastes, no one can produce dynamics or a true projecting tone using only the nail ... it is impossible......One must use the skin then the nail ........not following? Listen to Alirio Diaz, John Williams and of course the man, Segovia. Now compare to the video ..........hear the difference? Even their tirando is almost the same level of the "rest stroke".......the art of the guitar comes from this and it requires lots of correct practice to achieve it...........a thin, brittle nail tone does not project and has little beauty resulting in boring concerts......sometimes the nail only makes a great effect by itself or when playing ponticello but only for short periods....Young players today roll their eyes as they emote about their playing but no one can hear them as their right hand is not pushing the string robbing them of their true expression. Result is: no projection, beauty of tone or dynamics so very flat performances from poor preparation and weak hands........Solution? Diatonic major and minor scales everyday untill your fingers falls off using every possible finger combination with rest stroke. As a result your "free" stroke will also have a beautiful tone...........

En el video, se sugiere que Alexandre Lagoya era un intérprete estándar, pero no. Lagoya fue un guitarrista magnífico y grandioso, muchas veces subvalorado. Creo que después del genial dueto que formaron Bream y Williams, el dúo Presti-Lagoya es el más importante.
