@japenagosc She's super nice

Also everything she gives you is awesome but I'm not that good so I do boring stuff :P

@CarloSpicyWheener And how is she as a teacher?

@theviciousguitar I'm talking about musical intelligence, not technique. Bream's technique isn't a patch on most of the modern crop of classical guitarists but his feeling for phrasing, dynamics and colour are second to none. For me, Kulikova is the young guitarist who comes closest to challenging Bream's supremacy in this field. And, of course, she's got a phenominal technique. She's an absolutely outstanding musician.

She's my guitar teacher! :D

@douglas12386 I doubt Bream would have the capacity to play such a technically demanding piece, especially in the right hand. Bream is undoubtedly a phenomenal player, but his right hand technique often failed him because of his awkward position similar to Segovia's. These flaws in technique can be seen in some pieces Bream has performed that contain fast arpeggios and left hand movements.

There's a musical intelligence here that makes me think of Bream.

Tremendous sound, tremendous play! Very well played with a good feeling for the musical interpretation.
