I discovered Ana's great playing when I first watched this video, but I also discovered Pierre Bensusan. Along with being an incredible player, Pierre's compositions are very rich with harmonies and intricate lines run throughout. I feel like I'm listening to an orchestra or a pianist when I listen to him playing one of his compositions. There's so much going on. This is in standard tuning, but I understand he's playing DADGAD exclusively now. My favourite song by him right now is Nefertari.
Not her music though. She's certainly a skilled guitar player but, as far as i know, not a composer. Pierre Bensusan who composed this song is both a masterful guitar player as well as an exceptional composer. I sure hope her covering his song will help him get more exposure because he truly is a hidden gem.
It was a thrill to be able to meet Ana this summer after her concert in Boulder. She is friendly and personable as well as amazingly talented. Seeing her live in concert is even better than her recordings!
Holy heck, how many polyrythytms can you get in there Pierre! It's like classical Tool x10! And also played by one of the most beautiful women on the planet I love the way she plays and believe me I have heard everything she has ever done and I think she is the best classical guitarist male female ever Andre Segovia can't hold a candle to her
Just imagine, for a moment, a world in which a devotion to pursuits such as this is the highest goal; where a person like this replaces all of the politicians and movie stars in our hierarchy of honor.
I'm a dyed-in-the-wool heavy metal freak, but this possesses such transcendental soul and beauty that anyone with ears could not fail to be moved by its power. Kudos, you angel!
My school paid for me to see Bensusan last saturday (spokane). Ana and he are two of the greatest guitarists in the world in their respective styles. But seeing this video is like contemplating time squared. Simply mindblowing. The thing about Bensusans performances, if that he nevers plays anything the same. Ever. Roughly a third to a half of his live shows are improvised on the spot. And that's what makes him amazing.
Great performance!!! im amazed. This woman is probably one of the most talented classical guitarist alive!! and great sound qualitiy!! overall an amazing video
Yêu bài này quá. Nhắm mắt lại và thấy mình đang đứng trên 1 cao nguyên mênh mông với bầu trời xanh trên đầu, nắng vàng êm dịu trải dài trên đồng cỏ dưới chân. Một thứ cảm giác cô đơn tuyệt vời, trống trải, nhưng chẳng chút ưu phiền nào nữa. Been in love with this song for a long time!
Ana y su guitarra española forman una pareja bella y perfecta. La calidad de Ana hace vibrar a la guitarra de emoción. Un aplauso para Ana Vidovic y una envidia a la guitarra por ser tan querida por ella.
This is the most amazing thing I have ever heard or seen, and I play mostly rock and heavy metal. I have always appreciated classical guitar and this is second to nothing I have ever witnessed! You Ana are truly blessed.
She's wonderful. You should check out Pierre Bensusan, who wrote and performed this piece. He's incredible and it's great that Ana chose one of his pieces. His CD Altiplanos that this came from is great, as is Intuite. I also love Solilai from the early 80s when he was first starting out....I've been listening to that one since then and still am.
I've not heard this piece till recently. It's sad and moving at the same time. Well played by the artist (Ana Vidovic), and well written by the composer (Pierre Bensusan).
She has already stunned me with her amazing tehnique and with her divine beauty... but I think this was the first time she stunned me also with her ability to bring the feeling to the composition. Very good Ana! If people listen to classical guitar in 2300, she's propably seen then as the greatest master of the instrument! :)
This is ridiculously perfect. I don't know if there is actually any word to describe all the chills that both the song itself and the perfection and proficiency, world master class that you're developing while playing this tune produces in me every time I play this video.
If you don't like hairs standing to attention and hyperbole, then this is best avoided. Very human skills and fallibility blended to produce sublime and breathtaking piece. It took me a full thirty seconds before I could break silence by breathing at the end of this beautiful rendition.
Hi Jean, thanks for the info. As an amateur guitarist I learn more every day.Now if only I could play Altiplanos as good as Ana ...sigh... many thanks.
Another great interpretation of another master's piece. Ana is wonderful to watch and listen to as she plays with incredible intensity, passion and dexterity. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
I totally agree...saw her last fall...as a lifetime guitar player and music lover...Yes, there is such a thing as greatness and virtuosity a real artist!
Play with heart and the technical side will just become a part of your journey. You don't have to be a perfect technical guitarist to reach through and grab someones soul by the throat - if it's sincere and honest and shows effort and talent (or skill) it's a winner. We can't all be young, good looking and sing Bieber songs but we all have heart.
It's not that she just is technically flawless, she plays and captures the mood of everything I have heard her play. That and she is stunningly beautiful.
Finally someone who's trying to interpret Pierre Bensusan and not only trying to do as good as ... (I know it's easier said than done ...) I mean the guy deserves it !!
Mr. Bensusan should be just elevated by the fact Ana elected his peice to play.Much as i love his eclectic style, she really adds warmth,style,grace,and, she looks like she is really enjoying herself here. Artist like Ana Vidovic make being stuck in this psychotic,chaotic world,enlighting even joyful . P.S. Must be something in Croation waters to allow creativity to grow to this level,dont you think?
There are some players who just make me happy to play the guitar. Ana Vidovic's playing does just that to me. Beautiful playing and the candles add a nice touch :)
В этом мире еще никто и никогда не играл лучше чем эта эльфийская принцесса! Браво!!! Отдельное спасибо Мастеру создавшему инструмент.

Ana is one of those few artists that come in our lifetime. Her music comes from her heart and soul. What a truly remarkable musician.
Not her music though. She's certainly a skilled guitar player but, as far as i know, not a composer. Pierre Bensusan who composed this song is both a masterful guitar player as well as an exceptional composer.

Absolutely beautiful, effortless-looking talent - blown away!
Holy heck, how many polyrythytms can you get in there Pierre! It's like classical Tool x10!

Beautiful Pierre Bensusan composition.Greit performance by thr beuty and excelent Ana Vidovic.The grreatness!

Roughly a third to a half of his live shows are improvised on the spot.
And that's what makes him amazing.
Easy on the ears and eyes, I have had the pleasure of seeing her perform in person twice. Absolutely masterful performances!
She really got to the heart of this very difficult but haunting piece by Pierre Bensusan.
What beautiful tone and playing! Now THAT's what a guitar is supposed to sound like!
Absolutely beautiful playing, the setting with the candles and so-forth, romantic and sensual vibe.
Beautiful composition. Beautiful playing. Beautiful guitarist.
I love this woman! The most magnificent sound I've ever heard! A tickling of the strings uncommonly managed. I love you Ana!
Great performance!!! im amazed. This woman is probably one of the most talented classical guitarist alive!! and great sound qualitiy!! overall an amazing video
merveille de la nature. la personne qui joue ce morceau et Mr pierre Bensusan. Merci du partage.
What a gorgeous piece. She does great justice to both music and the visuals.
Well done to Ana for performing this wonderful piece! The playing is perfect. So is she!

parfait ...à la fois au niveau technique et au niveau de la sensibilité... c'est bluffant!
Incredible composition and incredible playing.
... me gusta muchísimo la guitarra ..... escuchándola me gusta massssss ... gracias por existir ...
Very good. Very unique and fitting phrasing. Way out of the box.
agreed
This is so exquisite. One of my favorite pieces on UA-cam.
Ana, What a smooth and beautiful piece. Played to perfection. Thanks for sharing your amazing guitar talent with the you tube world.

First time I've seen a human as beautiful as the guitar and the music being played.
Bravo!
Awesome performance, I Love this contemporary piece.
A atmosfera que essa obra carrega é tão fabulosa. A imaginação toma de conta da sua mente.
Obviously one of the greatest guitarists of our time.
This is the most amazing thing I have ever heard or seen, and I play mostly rock and heavy metal. I have always appreciated classical guitar and this is second to nothing I have ever witnessed! You Ana are truly blessed.

Ana is absolutely astonishing! Love her style
Wunderbar! Tolles Arrangement und die Künstlerin ist einfach klasse!
In the 8Os I heard Bensusans work.It still creates a different place in the right hands. Thanks.
Absolutely sublime. Power and grace. Those bare arms and strong, precise hands. Wow.
AT 3:00 PM. in USA NOW.I still enjoy your playing.That is a beautiful piece.Thanks.
Ana Vidovic inspires me deeply. Where words fail... music speaks. Congratulations for the hard work of a life!
This is ridiculously perfect. I don't know if there is actually any word to describe all the chills that both the song itself and the perfection and proficiency, world master class that you're developing while playing this tune produces in me every time I play this video.
trop beau ...Trop belle !!! Tout pour elle ...J ADORE !!!
GREAT performance! Very talented young woman. Thanks so much for sharing.
What a complete mastery of the Benusan's composition. The interpretation I have ever heard. Bravo! Mi lady.
Simply beautiful... Playing guitar means to 'play a lady'. Here I see and hear two ladies playing and respecting themselves... Simply beautiful...
Truly amazing camera work. Probably caught his shirt sleeve on one of the candles as he stumbled around.
I can't take my eyes off of her. She is as beautful as the music she plays. Superb job!
Beautiful piece and beautiful interpretation and Beautiful Ana Vidovic.
in the 13 years ivew been alife, i have never heard anything as beautiful as this...Bravo!
Beautifull interpretation. Demonstrates Pierre Bensusan's composition skills. And Ana's mastery of the guitar.
If you don't like hairs standing to attention and hyperbole, then this is best avoided. Very human skills and fallibility blended to produce sublime and breathtaking piece. It took me a full thirty seconds before I could break silence by breathing at the end of this beautiful rendition.
super human skills setting a new bar for guitarist for many years to come
Ana, Plays from deep within her soul. Her music is as beautiful as she is. Simply the best!!!!
So Sweet and Crisp in The Best Musical Ways ! Bravo ! Smiles JL
Yes life has such a beautiful side also....ana you are awesome in all ways.you ...,you r truly an inspiration for others
This music haunts my dreams and unsettles me. I love it.
good
Hi Jean, thanks for the info. As an amateur guitarist I learn more every day.Now if only I could play Altiplanos as good as Ana ...sigh... many thanks.
welche klare perfekte Tongebung, einfach brilliant. Große Gefühle.
I like this piece! Ana is attractive and inspiring, very articulate.
Another great interpretation of another master's piece. Ana is wonderful to watch and listen to as she plays with incredible intensity, passion and dexterity. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
So beautiful....and the song is beautiful too.
Very nice music interpretetion and beatiful croatian girl Ana.Congratulation from golden Croatian Adriatic coast.
I totally agree...saw her last fall...as a lifetime guitar player and music lover...Yes, there is such a thing as greatness and virtuosity a real artist!
Amazing talent , my favorite piece
So beautiful Ana.
Ana is an amazing human being. The best that we are...
I love the way you play so clearly. Very good musician.
Magnificent!!! Thanks a lot for this exquisite moment Ana.
This is a fascinating, intriguing piece I had not heard before, quite lovely, and so wonderfully played. Thank you!
Probably the most technically faithful cover of a Bensusan tune I've ever seen. Absurdly proficient playing.
Play with heart and the technical side will just become a part of your journey. You don't have to be a perfect technical guitarist to reach through and grab someones soul by the throat - if it's sincere and honest and shows effort and talent (or skill) it's a winner. We can't all be young, good looking and sing Bieber songs but we all have heart.
You're not only beautiful and a true Artist , but this is World Class .
Cheers
Waohowww you are as beautiful as the music you play love and Best Regards from Nepal
Superb performance! Simply breathtaking.
great playing. So much soul! Love candles too, so appropriate.
Ana é uma das melhores violonistas e de quebra é linda, linda!
Lovely, lovely, and lovely. Such smooth playing. It is true art.
Félicitations and thank you Pierre Bensusan for the info on the tuning in this piece.This is such a beautiful composition you wrote.
Perfeito, um dom de poucos...
Amazing! A breath of fresh air. Must find more!
holy crap, this is phenomenal
...And she his beautiful..
..Yes, she his..
It's not that she just is technically flawless, she plays and captures the mood of everything I have heard her play. That and she is stunningly beautiful.
Quel son en plus !! wowww !! Bravoo!!
Eis aí a excelência da prática, da técnica, do estilo e da beleza .
Sebsacional !!!!
Most pleasing to the senses.
que lindos los hermanos Vidovic tocando juntos digno de mirar y escuchar,Felicitaciones,

Finally someone who's trying to interpret Pierre Bensusan and not only trying to do as good as ... (I know it's easier said than done ...)
I mean the guy deserves it !!
A truly fine classical guitarist, and a truly beautiful woman. Thank you for posting this!
You are so beautifeul and you have such a feeling Ana,congratulations for your light!!
Hello Ana thank you for the comment, you are a fantastic guitarist, outstanding, good Christmas for you too.
Simply outstanding!
Things suddenly got a whole lot more clear. Wow!
Ficou linda com essa postura, e bonita interpretação
+Neri Ortiz I would vote Ana for president of the world. :-)
as well and as wonderful as Ana plays this.....it shows how much Pierre kicks this tunes ass
Indeed, I have also never seen someone play a Bensusan song so well.
Mr. Bensusan should be just elevated by the fact Ana elected his peice to play.Much as i love his eclectic style, she really adds warmth,style,grace,and, she looks like she is really enjoying herself here. Artist like Ana Vidovic make being stuck in this psychotic,chaotic world,enlighting even joyful . P.S. Must be something in Croation waters to allow creativity to grow to this level,dont you think?
I think I'm in love...Absolutely stunning!!!!!
if you ever read this Ana, love every note! Too many are just going to somewhere you really want to be. But still, good job.
There are some players who just make me happy to play the guitar. Ana Vidovic's playing does just that to me. Beautiful playing and the candles add a nice touch :)
