    I'm 40 and it will take me 50 years to be that good, and another 30 years to be able to express that kind of emotion...it's simply beautiful!!

      im 14 and can easily play this so its never too late (and no im not some chineese kid that gets beat by his parents and plays 12 hours a day im joust a regular guitarist with great love for music) you could learn this in 5 years easily if you really try

    Agustín Barrios for me is the classical guitar genius and composer...the most beautiful pieces for guitar..and Julia it's a magic piece like a romantic movie...Julia touched my heart when I learned and stayed inside my heart .... thank you..so beautiful

    I am Brazilian and, because of Villa Lobos' solo guitar work, we here get used to the classical guitar repertoire. But even so, everything seems new when you play. I usually cry, but in this piece of Barrios I smiled. Please, record a video with Villa Lobos' prelude 5. A brotherly hug and gratitude.

    Alexandra knows she can do a Barrios piece and well enough to get me to rave about it...and she doesn't even know me. This is a beautiful interpretation of this piece...exquisite.

    Que grande interpretación, pero qué grande composición! Ese Agustín Barrios no tiene igual. Sus másicas son como perlas que brotan sobre la faz de la mar. Son como ondas de vida que golpea el cuerpo, y como suaves suspiros que incitan al sentimiento. Son joyas que brillan entre las escorias y vívidas luces en la oscuridad. Son y es tesoro que arropa en parte el legado puro de paraguayidad

    Her ending to the piece is the most satisfying I've heard, having listened to many players' versions.

    I've been rather demotivated these past few months and haven't practiced guitar very much at all. The last piece I focused on before then was this piece which I really enjoyed and it felt pretty shitty to lose my passion and motivation slowly for this hobby during a stressful semester.
    Luckily over the break I've regained the time and patience to begin again and pick up my confidence slowly. It's thanks to wonderful videos/examples like this and composers like Barrios that I can get reinspired. I'm going through La Catedral at the moment and I can't ignore how damn beautiful it is; I just know I have to learn it completely before I can even think about giving up the classical guitar again.

    • @todd92371

      It's like the music is timeless and we simply tap into its beauty for a brief moment and the ego and all of man's (woman's) expectations fade away.

    Been playing electric guitar for half of my life but recently became interested in classical guitar.

    Balanced.. Nothing over-done, nothing left out. Complete. I like this recording more than any other of "Julia florida". The tempo is unhurried, but not too slow. Dynamic expression is moving, warm, but never to excess. Love it.
    Update...a year later, no body plays this better. Taken as a balanced whole, this remains my favorite performance of this composition.
