That's awe inspiring, it must take so much talent and practice.

I've seen Sharon perform more than a few times,.. she continues to be, and always will be one of the finest classical guitarists in the U.S. Thanks for the wonderful memories of your performances, lectures, and masterclasses that I've attended over the last 20 yrs. Sharon. If time permits, check out my youtube 'Romance' video. Type in 'Brian O'Hare' in 'search' section. Thanks again, sincerely, Brian O'Hare.

Marvelous

I love Mrs. Isbin's playing. She has so much texture and feeling in her music. It is not so mechanical like John Williams' music. She has a lot of life in this.

Yes I do own a few of her CDs also, including this piece as well.

Douceur et sensibilité.. superbe interprétation... simplement beau. Merci.. Michèle

why so many dislikes? kind of odd... it's just a lady playing guitar.

@arfurlife "J William's technique...there's barely an ounce of feeling in his playing"

Can you please tell us where to get that magic "feeling" meter? Is it available in radioshack? Then we can really rate all these artists!

Here is a line from @jllobet to contrast what you say. "John Williams plays with a lot of feeling"

hahaha. you people are funny. I even doubt if you all are actually listening to the music or just your own mind chattering away opinions.

feeling!! Oh my feeling!!

@jllobet "John Williams plays with a lot of feeling"

I see so much subjectivity in both what you say and those that praise Isbin. How can you measure "feeling"? what you "feel" may not be the same as what someone else "feels".

Why cant people just listen to the music? It is obvious that the comments posted here are due to nothing more than personal bias.

I like both JW and SI, they are in the same league. why cant one just say that and just LISTEN?

nice playing...another one of my favorite pieces to play!

[elijahinky]

I could see my family in Sicily listening to this type of music back in the day....beautiful

Excellent player!

For your information, Mr. "expert truth", the ROmeros landed in California when they were in their early teens so they have made most of their careers in the US. That, without mentioning that the third generation (Celino and Lito) were born in the US. Less arrogance and more objectivity may do you some good.
