Ana Vidović (born 8 November 1980 in Karlovac, SR Croatia, Yugoslavia) is one of the youngest virtuoso guitarists in the world.

By the age of 11 she was performing internationally, and at 13 became the youngest student to attend the prestigious National Musical Academy in Zagreb where she studied with Professor Istvan Romer. Vidović's reputation in Europe led to an invitation to study at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, U.S., with Manuel Barrueco, from where she graduated in May 2003. In an interview, she has stated that she plays lots of scales and uses a metronome.[1]

Vidović has won an impressive number of prizes and international competitions all over the world. These include first prizes in the Albert Augustine International Competition in Bath, England, the Fernando Sor competition in Rome, Italy, and the Francisco Tárrega competition in Benicasim, Spain. Other top prizes include the Eurovision Competition for Young Artists, the Mauro Giuliani competition in Italy, the Printemps de la Guitare in Belgium, and the Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York.

Ana Vidović has given over one thousand public performances since first taking the stage in 1988. Her international performance career includes recitals in London, Paris, Vienna, Salzburg, Rome, Budapest, China, Warsaw, Tel Aviv, Oslo, Copenhagen, Toronto, Baltimore, San Francisco, Knoxville, Houston, Austin, Dallas, St. Louis, Jakarta,and Zuidlaren.

What are you two on???? it's blummin marvellous!!!!

When someone talented offers criticism you may take it on board and alter something, when Cleutus and Brandeen from the Simpsons, make inane criticisms you will probably ignore it.

When you post something half as good you might qualify to make a negative comment.

Go on post something!!!! I dare you!!!!

@donnysmeegs Thank you so much! I didn't want to say it myself, as I am the one who posted the video and it may have sounded bad, like I am biased...

Enjoy the music 'cause it's wonderful and the guitar player so gifted! :-) Thank you again!

Sometimes I don't like some notes in the way she plays but in the next second she spills on the guitar, maybe an energy, maybe a sweetness that only she has and it get may ears and I think she is wonderful.

@gnomo2368 She does play lovely indeed!

[gnomo2368]

@macmanue You are right... the guitar is a Redgate, a beautiful Australian guitar but the sound comes from her angelical fingers... I guess, that's why "La milonga del ángel" sound perfect when she play it.

@gnomo2368 Let's hope he wanted to say that he would want to be at least as good as her before playing on a Smallman.

Though I do agree with you, talent as nothing to do with the instrument, the instrument only sublimate the talent.

[gsagula2]

She is always hot!

[macmanue]

@soullessSiIence You do realise she is playing a Redgate, not a Smallman?

Que orgullo que el tango alla llegado esta croata..aunque nuestras culturas tengan mucho en comun estan muy separadas fisicamente. Idola una genia como toca

[gnomo2368]

@soullessSiIence Let us observe you even though you don't play a Smallman... I guess the most important is share our talent, our art, our comments to grow up together.

[soullessSiIence]

I would play like that too if I had a Smallman.
