Irina Kulikova plays Ponce

[spret333]

Best tone I've ever heard, superb technique, and breathtaking musicality! I have been playing and listening to classical guitar for over 20 years, and this is as good as it gets!!!

[LIGHTNICK625]

Thumps up if you also prefer the black nylon strings!

[douglas12386]

It melts my heart. This is real music making. Bravo!

[Deerse]

There are 2 players who play this incredible beautifull: one of them is Jason Vieaux, the other one is Irina Kulikova.

The only performance I've heard that rivals Segovia in every way. In Heaven, Segovia must smile to hear this.

I have her naxos CD with with this recording on it. I always go back to this version when I need to get the tune in my ears. great stuff!

[rjlchristie]

Terrific! She's one of the most exciting young artists on today's stage. Playing with a maturity not usually seen in one so young.

[prevost99]

nice playing! what guitar is Irina playing here? is it a Marty by any chance?

[desiderataification]

@prevost99 Yes it is a Simon Marty...you can tell by the headstock.

[workedant]

wow, she sounds so natural and musical!! Great job!

[francos1960]

One of the greatest !

Five stars1

[acbulgin2]

She's great! It's the consistent tone that catches your ear first, then the usual signs of quality in any musical performer: a strong melodic & rhythmic sensitivity, a strong sense of the musical figure(s), of the harmony and of where the piece is going.

Great stuff Irina, see you in August!

[Chrixtal]

Hey I'm going to see her this week :)

[ArsGuitar]

Great Music!!

[capnpayne]

She's great!

[A440Hz]

Yes, it is beautiful, and she is a great performer.

But I'd like to know the title of this music by Ponce, (that she is playing..)

Thanks to all

[capnpayne]

@A440Hz Sonata Meridional, 1st movement

[guitaristdotcom]

Beautiful.

I must say, the Marty is sounding muuuch better than the Smallmans you have to record.
