The classical guitarist has a huge appetite for diverse music, and plays with a clear, lyrical technique. His diverse set at the desk of All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen mixes the baroque, Argentine dance, West African rhythms and a classic from Spain.

  • awesome video. You can hear the amazing presence, body, and warmth of his sound, even in this little office which looks acoustically dead. I know he records his CD's in a cathedral in Cleveland but he certainly doesn't need any help from reverb to render a stunning performance.

  • I kinda like that the space is dry. It's quite a change from how we normally hear him. I think it's easier to imagine what it would be like to be sitting right next to him during a lesson. In the Prelude you can really hear him digging in and large spaces like halls and cathedrals smooth that out. Nice to hear him "in the raw!"

  • I´ve never heard a french dude speaking such a good English!

  • Going to be playing in a masterclass of his tomorrow. Very excited!

  • Such a delightful, warm, modest, incredibly talented, hard-working and dedicated musician. People like Jason Vieaux give me hope for future generations of American musicians.

  • A Jason V albuum is what got me back into playing classical gutiar after a 15 year break.  I finally got the chance to meet him in person a few months ago in Fort Wayne at the Embassy. I had all sorts of intelligent things to say and ask but nothing came out but "hi". Starstruck, I guess.

  • This is the venue that the guitar is made for. Small and maybe a bit dead, but if you listen into the guitar... it has a Carnegie Hall inside of it.

    It's like a metaphor for life made out of wood.

  • I love that sound :D is so CLEAN :D

  • In likes and dislikes bar it seems someone won a Meet & Greet with Justin Bieber.

  • I LOVE CAPRICHO ARABE

  • I like the sound is sweet and sad together.

  • @GyveTurckee You sir, have a nice range of vocabulary.
