[CoverMarguerite]

Beutiful : your guitar playing is like a long river of Amazonia flowing to the see, it has the moving nostalgic sound of time slowly flowing.

[YoJolina]

Aww thanks! That's very sweet!

[Michelvolkmann]

Daar Jo, niet van propallid voor uw late beantwoording.

Ik heb gemerkt dat ik geen antwoord had gegeven u voor recuerdos VAN DE alhambra: jammer maar ik was niet vaak op youtube recent nog: ik ben nu antwoord geven u!

Bravo voor al dat u doen, u bent een zeer actieve musicus, het is fantastisch!

In het feit, ik espere dat u begrijpt me, ik gebruik een vertaling software te spreken met u!

Vaarwel, Thomas

Thanks for commenting!

[TheSlurgi]

One of the best performances of this piece I've ever heard (I'm not a huge fan of the piece [or Villa-Lobos in general...] but you played it beautifully!).

You've got a gift. Tax law? You should be making music!

[YoJolina]

Aww thanks so much, I'm honoured! (And ashamed that I didn't reply earlier; sorry!)

Yes I just finished my bachelor in tax law! I'm also going to get my master's degree, but I'm going to postpone that a little bit. For now it's just music for a while!

But thanks again; it means a lot to me.

Best regards,

Jolina

[JesseGuitar07]

Really amazing. Like the lighting too.

Linda

[YoJolina]

Hello Linda! Thank you, glad you liked it!

[vandera]

Hey there! How very nice to see you perform for an audience. Also I'm just amazed by how each time you seem to have progressed your skill that much further; this piece was just played to perfection! This piece is very "Villa Lobos", but when I close my eyes, I "hear" Brazil...

[YoJolina]

What a great comment! Thank you so much! And I'm so deeply ashamed for my late reply; sorry!

Thanks again! It means a lot to me.

Best regards,

Jolina

[bdclassicalguitarist]

Wow! You are amazing Jolina. Thank you for sharing your videos with us mortals.

- Ben

[YoJolina]

Hehe thanks Ben. But I'm still not looking down on you lot lol. Never will, I hope!

Sorry for this late reply ...

All best!

Jo

[Liranm89]

Fantastic Jolina! your playing is so amazing! really neat and great playing! and the tone is really good!..seems pretty difficult, I should study more etudes by villa lobos(I can only play the first). you know you're one of my inspirations to listen and play villa lobos! so thank you for that! at first I didn't like villa lobos much, but now he's definitely one of my fav composers, I love atonal pieces.

Take care,

Liran

[YoJolina]

Dearest Liran,

Thank you! Glad you liked it. I practised it a lot ... The arpeggio in the middle is very difficult for me. I've improved quit a bit though!

Honoured to inspire you! But you do know that this is not atonal, right? Try listening something by Schönberg; he has some great atonal pieces. I think all pieces by Villa-Lobos are tonal; you can still sing along with his tunes.

Best,

Jo

[Liranm89]

Yeah but you know, I meant that they're all musically compicated, or something :)

[YoJolina]

Yes I thought you meant something like that. You're right. It's not the Spice Girls.

[ovidiov]

Hi Jo, excellent! all VL studies are very much hard and you perform this 11th wonderfully!

[YoJolina]

Hey Ovidio!

Thanks for your nice comment. Oh and now that we're both here; thanks for your message on facebook; nice to see you there, too. Lol.

[nonexponential]

Hi Jolina! Thank you for posting this video. It is nice

to see you play in concert. This is a hard piece which I admit I had not heard before. I enjoyed it very much.

- Athan

[YoJolina]

Hey Athan,

Happy to post this.Thank YOU for commenting! Glad you liked the video, even though you never heard the piece. I think it might take some getting used to.

Best,

Jo

[JuergenSchenk]

Hi Jolina, it's a real joy to trace your musical and technical development in the last year. Complimenti!!!

A short question: do you get up on your tiptoes deliberately or is it in "the heat of the battle"?

[YoJolina]

Hey Juergen,

Thanks so much for your nice comment!

And your question; I'm on my tiptoes deliberately, as I am wearing high heals! But my heals are on the ground lol.

Best,

Jo

[JuergenSchenk]

Aaah sooo, I think, I need new glasses

All my best

Juergen

[YoJolina]

Naahh you don't. I had more comments about that I had to use a footstool lol. So you're not the only one.

Obla Dooooo!

Per

[AndanteLargo]

Obla di Jo! Just Obla di!!

In plain Danish/Swedish: brilliant! What a performance! This was my professors favorite V-L pieces so I played this until I wanted to through up! But now you make me want to play it again. Thank you! I just HAVE to say it again: OBLA DI!

50 stars from cold Copenhagen.

Per

[YoJolina]

Obla di? Really?! Wow!

Thanks Per. I worked very hard on this one. Still don't like my arpeggio, but that's my huge technical problem, so it wasn't all bad.

Copenhagen? I though you were in Sweden?

Anyway; so glad you liked my video. Happy I made you want to play it again (it's a nice piece, you know).

And glad you liked the video! My mum filmed it of course!

Obla di right back at ya!

Thank you Dominique, and thanks for being such a sweet subscriber! Your comments mean a lot to me.

Best,

Jo

[Vabejas]

Yooooo!!!!

Kippevel zo mooi!! Een top-act, live gespeeld en alles zat erin: muzikaliteit, technische perfect (denk ik toch, ik ken het stuk niet), werkelijk: châpeau ma chère! Prachtige setting ook.

Maak die rechtenstudie snel af en dan: see you soon in the Concertgebouw! :)

Dikke knuffel en bloemen op het podium!

(Zo, nu kan ie wel weer, mijn zondagochtendkoffie is er koud van geworden!)

Groetjes en thx!

Jasper

[YoJolina]

Jaaaaaaaaaassssssssssss!!!!!!!­!!!!!

Echt? Jeej! Dank voor je reactie. Heb daar ook wel zitten zweten hoor; ik vind 't technisch zo'n moeilijk stuk. Die arpeggio in het midden ging ook niet helemaal lekker, maar op de een of andere manier lijkt het altijd minder erg als ik het terugzie. Gelukkig maar!

En de bloemen ... Fantastisch, dankjewel!

En voortaan mag je wel eerst je koffie drinken hoor, voordat je zo'n heel verhaal schrijft!

Liefs,

Jo

[cortesnyc]

excellent video!! love the colors and the drama in the song.. can't wait to see more. -C

[YoJolina]

Hey C,

I will upload more videos from the concert this week.

Thanks for commenting!

Aww thanks for your sweet comment, Val!

Jo xx

[troubleclef]

Fantastic. And some of the best recorded sound of a live show i've heard on Youtube. And Ron is right, the setting is terrific. Striking.

Post more from your concert, if you please.

cheers.

[YoJolina]

Thank you! I am uploading more videos right now, but it's going really slowly, like 6-8 hours per video! That's not normal, isn't it?

Glad you liked the sound. I also think it's much better than my previous videos.

Cheers,

Jo

[troubleclef]

6-8 hours! Yeah, there's definitely something wrong in that case. I should be posting something later today too. I'll see if it's that bad here.

Can't wait to see & hear more from your show!

[YoJolina]

Just uploaded the new video; it took 12 hours this time! Crazy huh? The file was about 600 MB I think ...

[troubleclef]

Yeah, you might want to try tomorrow or something. I just posted a new thing and it took only the standard 5 to 6 minutes or so. I'll go see if i can find your new thing on my home page, yet.

[hackettguitar]

Hi Jolina : )

Awesome playing : ) I Love ! I love it ! Wonderful !!

You have a lot of talent : ) Clap Clap Clap : D

Hi YoJolina, this gave me goosebumps quite frankly :o) Really great, and the stage setting is terrific. -Ron

[YoJolina]

Really?! Thanks Ron, I'm honoured to give you goosebumps lol.

The concert hall at the conservatory it very nice, isn't it. I love the big blocks in the background.
