Ana Vidovic- Five Bagatelles, Andante (William Walton)

[edi5]

She is a wondergirl.

[GodsGreiner]

Still Amazed by Ana. Awesome!

[Orange1117]

This is the 3rd Bagatelle, it's Lento, not Andante..

[BlindedinChains444]

[Poisonseed]

Argh....

[Joshyi18]

love this piece, amazingly played.

[muhqmuhq]

I'd definitely do her

[KeziaMyDarlingPTH]

@muhqmuhq

Haha Me too!

[ZotMalakhov]

Thanks! At you very beautiful channel and good performance on a guitar!

[60ECg]

What do ya'll think of Flash6234 playing this.

[ales65100]

STU-PEN-DA punto e basta

[Sysiphus9]

Maybe this piece doesn't fit her temperament, but this feels like williams playing the villa-lobos prelude nr 5... just shredding away to the finish line

I think tempo is too fast, phrasing sounds erratic, and the dynamics seems completely lost.

My favorite of this Bagatelle nr.2 is Bream playing it... its on youtube somewhere

[sdluthier]

Listless and dry. The staccato doesn't really work for her, and the piece simply sounds lifeless. She really needs to pay some dues to have some heart to put into her playing. This is the most boring interpretation of this piece I've ever heard, including from much inferior players.

It's amazing to me that she can rip through Bach and the Ponce, but fails so miserably to capture the feeling of this piece. She has absolutely no idea of how to create the space it needs, and let it breathe.

[Rexicano]

@sdluthier

I agree;

something is lacking; it's well played...in a technical sense...but the timing is just too much like a metronome for me. I actually want more rubato in places and MORE tone changes. I think a slow piece like this is harder in some ways than a rapid piece. It demands more soul.

I also dislike the sound of this guitar.

Maybe it takes more years lived to bring the full weight to it.

The first Bream recording really does it for me.

[ericlarkins]

@Rexicano Couldn't agree more!!!! She hit the concert platform too soon due to her technique level imo.....she has a lot to blossom still musically.....let's hope she does - that'd be great.

[SonsOfGod]

@Rexicano always the same shit when people comment young but wonderful artists, they are too young to feel, too young to have a soul, too young to have emotions, too... let me tell you one thing, you are older but will probably never play like her, what does that tell you? And about the rhythm, she is the only one that keeps the rhythm so that emotions can go on flowing like the waves of the sea. Not easy, one of very rare qualities.

[Rexicano]

@SonsOfGod

Well, funny how you get all huffy about myself and others having an opinion on a music video we have seen...

and yet you fell so bold as to make comments about about MY playing when you have not heard me, don't know me, and (here is MY Guess) you PROBABLY have never played the piece or know a thing about the repertoire of Classical guitar.

Now go peddle that "waves of the sea" nonsense to someone else. I aint buying it.

[SonsOfGod]

@Rexicano You cannot buy it, 'cause I am not selling anything, you see. Et oui, je joue la guitarra classique, désolé de vous décevoir. I was talking about the general fear for young talents though. You bump into it in any branche these days. From rhythmic gymnastics to classical guitar!!! When a young talent does everything better, some envidious always pops up and vomits the frase "I assume it takes more years lived by to bring the full weight to it" You should have told that to Rimbeaud.

[SonsOfGod]

@Rexicano errata, I obviously meant "guitare" and "Rimbaud" and not "guitarra" and "Rimbeaud".

[latinjazzman7]

Ana Vidovic shows a lot of discipline and control in her playing. This is an important factor which a lot of guitarist that are making a living with there playing DOT NOT have. Hat's off to her. She is definitely in another league. Benny Muñoz Latin Jazz Guitarist from Vineland NJ.

[Idyllvice]

Ana....(sigh) Ti amo, indeed.

Hyperdelightful woman that she is.

[hiddenmarcovich]

no es el andante es el lento!

con razon nunca lo encontre con ella como lento jaja

[William102582]

she missed the last harmonics! anyway great, i'm not even half as good as this girl.

[Theonedue]

She did not such thing! To get those harmonics on the higher frets completly is almost impossible.

[William102582]

It's certatinly ain't impossible, check out Julian Breams version.

[Theonedue]

Yes William, but the point is that there are many factors that need to be observed that make the playing of guitar, or any insturment, possible. Number one the kind of strings are an inportant factor, especially for harmonics since you have to be soo precise (heavier strings are harder to do) also size of nails, and also postion. On frets of guitar you have ample room to fret, but on harmonics you havet to be was very accurate or else youll get a buzz. Anyway never said it was impossible. ;)

[Theonedue]

Yes, I am a bad speller. Sorry.

[Theonedue]

Actually I dont think the size of the string matters for harmonics but I think the type of string does make it a little harder to get the sound without a buzz or missing it altogether.

[intersanctum]

ofcourse she plays superbly she`s from croatia

[Larkflight]

Not on this site all the videos or one sees she plays with a blue dress she plays on a guitar made by Gilles Mercier, guitar maker in Aix in Provence, in France, if it is also easily definissable it is not because of the dress, but in addition to the sonority of the instrument, the reason for the rosette of the instrument which with the head, forms parts of the signatures of each guitar maker

[fodera6]

She's great as always!

This is from her Virtuoso DVD? What noob(s) ran the mic cables? ;^)

While she has been using Jim Redgate guitars for a while now, I think this performance pre-dates her endorsement of them. This guitar doesn't have his signature headstock carving and the rosette doesn't seem to be his, either.

I often wonder about her hair and if it gets in the way. Wish it would get in my way!

[Larkflight]

I do not know when these pieces have been played but the dvd from where the music is extracted has been commercialized in 2006 (after looking on her site). It seems reasonable to think she knew allready the guitars of Jim redgate when she played for these recordings

[amaurytube]

Come on you guys. Talk about what you know, not what about you do not know. The latter is simply ridiculous!

[partcham]

I think her guitar is made by Gilles Mercier , a french maker

[dimiceli]

Does anybody knows who is the guitar maker?

[dachtichsmir]

Jim Redgate Guitars

[vinas1959]

She's a Goddess. She's out of this world and yet she's in it. A talent as immense as Mount Everest is tall.

[orcawoo]

opz maybe nt..mistaken LOL...

[orcawoo]

wrong tempo at de end..de last note...lack counting

[lordazol]

maşallah

[DeMaterialisation]

Hoorah, I think she made a mistake, although, I can't be sure !

Goddess!!!!

[cliverich]

Who cares. Great performance.

[DeMaterialisation]

Hey ,I didn't favourite this for fun ! lol
