- Ana Vidović is one of the youngest virtuoso guitarists in the world. Ana started playing guitar at the age of 5, and by 7 had given her first public performance. At the age of 11 she was performing internationally, and at 13 became the youngest student to attend the prestigious National Musical Academy in Zagreb, Croatia. Ana has won an impressive number of prizes and international competitions all over the world.

Ana is playing Astaurias, a classical piece originating from NW region of Spain, adopting a a more lively and vivacious style. If you close your eyes for a minute and allow the music to carry you forward, you will believe that you're listening to two separate guitarists playing this beautiful song together. That's the magic of a great guitarist playing this melodious piece.
I am actually very lonely and Ana makes me feel much less lonely.
There is nothing else to say, except thank you Ana. ❤️❤️❤️
The way this woman play her instrument transport her listeners to that dimension of total musicality that only an expert can do with intrinsic command of that moment in time and space. It's wonderful to listen and watch her play her guitar. Thank you for sharing.
Ana makes it look easy but it takes strong nerves to nail the dynamics and keep the right hand patterns flawless. People who don't play usually think all the difficulty is in the left hand but it's more often the opposite. Esp with finger style playing. It's SO easy for one of your right hand digits to slightly miss their mark and hit the string too hard or too soft or just miss the string altogether(esp when playing soft). It takes great focus(ADD sufferers need not apply) and endless hours of practicing with consistency. Confidence is your best friend and nervousness(fear) is your enemy. Ana may be sweet and soft spoken but you can see in her eyes she's a confident person(and a very confident player!)
Amazing playing. I'm moved and inspired to step up my playing...💚🎸
If your only reaction to beauty was a blurred view for a moment, you are not worthy.

RE: The Sound.
I was in the 2nd row maybe, and it was just amazing. Just remembering it still gives me chills.
I think the video folks pulled the sound from the amp and dubbed it over, when what they probably should have done was setup a mic array about 20 feet back and grab the richness of the acoustic sound.
The sound is terrible for an acoustic instrument ..... I am sure it sounded amazing from where you was seating ... But no reverb at all in such a massive auditorium ..?
@@sanchezfilmproject9703 It looks like the guitar has an internal microphone (you can see it is plugged in). So no natural reverb and some unpleasant string noise (although she is an excellent player and keeps this to a minimum)
I listen to Indian Clasical music all my life and at the same time I take a lot of interest in clasical guitar music and I have been listening to Ana for a long time and in my opinion I find her a very stuborn mimned lady who is always looking for a 1/2 notch improvement. When I listen to indian clasical, I can tell straight away if the player I am listening is any good.Listening to Ana, I can tell she is not just good but damn good, just listen to her plucking of the first 5 cord and you know she is very special, thanks Ana, I can fall a sleep in your plucking.
You people who are nit picking might want to consider the venue and what opportunities were available as far as sound. Do you somehow think that every musician carries a concert hall and all of the necessary equipment around in their back pocket? I'm sure she's doing the best she can under the circumstances.

Never use a Spanish guitar with a plug in pickup, always mic it up.
I thought the same thing, Ana, you are speaking to us...you are using the guitar to speak. You are telling a story as your musical mind is directly connected to the instrument...beautiful!
I think she is currently the best in the world. Her notes are always clear and pure, but I agree, this instrument sounds tinny.
The emotion you give us through your music that's something only a true artist like u can do.
1 word... WOW!!! (second song made me cry)
I teared up when I attended this "talk." So beautiful. . . and so is the music. :-)
first time i see ana vidovic playing a classical guitar with electroacoustic system it's absolutely amazing how her plays along
yea, although electroacoustic guitar is not made for classical guitar music. Still she does a very well performance.
Ana Vidović would make Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast sound amazing.
Wow the 2nd song is beatiful......cant imagine what kind of transformative vocals could be placed on top of that....wait this 3rd song sounds like its from django...amazing
So amazing! She is such an inspiration to any musician
I am very glad I am able to hear her performance in all its magnificence. You might be lucky enough to have her play for you in person. But I am not.
People with much more knowledge than I saw fit to amplify her performance so pull your head in.
So beautiful, the guitarist and the music.
Ponosimo se s tobom Ana. Hvala ti sto spominjes svoju zemlju na koncertima. Thank you Ana for telling your audience that you coming from Croatia. We are proud with you and with your guitar skills. Proud to be Croat.
Please, why comment, just listen to this beautiful playing artist!!
I agree completely.
You tell me, why did you comment?
Ana Vidovic, interpretas maravillosamente el espíritu del tango argentino, un cálido saludo desde el fin del mundo.
mind blowing music. this really makes me take an interest in classical guitar.
Ana Vidovic is an amazing guitar player! Great vid!
After all the sadly poor classical playing I've heard on TED, this is delightful and inspiring. The final piece was lovely and mesmerizing as a massage. Now to find her on a video with better recording/sound quality. But this was beautiful -
I love all her pieces :) :) :) she's incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)
She's marvellous and absolutely correct playing a guitar . And a beautiful, pretty artist...
She is wonderfull!
Ana is an Amazing Guitarist classical & Spanish Guitar and its actually the first time I've heard her voice , Beautiful as well
Beautiful interpretation, performed by an incredible woman!
Very beautiful performance. Inspiring.
So amazing ... really loved it
Simplemente...BRILLANTE!!!!! Muchas gracias!

Incredible!
just wonderful & mesmerising !
for anyone talking about the quality of the sound its not the fault of the guitar, the audio file in the video wasnt uploaded correctly. The guitar she is using is a 60k Gregg Smallman.
Actually the guitar is a Jim Redgate a $12 000 guitar, so yeah the instrument is not the problem
nick fenton But using “pick up” just not the classical thing. Usually a microphone(professional one) is better choice.
i tought it was a smallman too...so is it a Jim Redgate?amplified whit a piezo or mic system?
I could get 3 Hausers with that kind of money. Smallman isn't that pricy.
The reason is the audio is a dry is due to the audio being a direct soundboard recording, and it's not utulizing any room mics or natural reverb from the room itself, so you hearing only the onboard dry pick up tone only, just as she is playing - like direct from the guitars p/u.

She is so lovely! So talented too! Purrrfect! Peace to her.
I agree it sounds dry and brittle, but the reason is the audio is a dry is due to the audio being a direct soundboard recording, and it's not utilizing any room mics or natural reverb from the room itself, so you hearing only the on-board dry pick up tone, just as she is playing - like direct from the guitars p/u. In my opinion a traditional instrument would of been better suited this situation, but she plays a super loud dry Redgate - that is her instrument.
In regards to her Anyone who questions her technical playing, subtly of interpretation need only list to her Torroba album, where she out plays Segovia, Parkening, and 'almost' Mr.Bream...incredible recording.
Love this!
J'adore...
You play soo beautifully. Thank you and have a wonderful new year.❤❤❤
Great performance! Amazing guitarist!
Let’s also consider the positive aspects of a direct feed from the Piezo pick up in the bridge of the guitar. For one, you don’t have to worry about coughs and audience noise. ( and everyone is always complaining about that) Secondly, the sound is right there in your ears. Very clear and up close. Like your ear is an inch from the guitar. This is the only recording of Ana using this recording technique, so it is interesting to hear. The major downside is the string noise when her left hand shifts position. Overall I love her sound. She is the greatest guitarist I have ever heard. ☀️🌷☀️🌷
mesmerizingly stupendous
wonderful ❣❣
How good it is to hear this
Simply the best of the best female musician!!
Woah
The best female classical guitarist!
she's pretty sweet, but what about raphaello smits???
I actually think Thu Le is an option for best female classical guitarist. I don't know why I needed to put female in there.
How about one of the best classical guitarists ever
CTROCK Check out Antigoni Goni or Gohar Vardanyan. You'll love them both as well.

Pretentious bastards... Her "horrible sound" just proves how great she really is by not letting it affect her performance.
Hermosísima interpretación.
Brilliant musician and getting better and better!
Awesome job!!!! I dont know if i could contain my acclaim if i were present for that :) Always on my youtube list for great music! Thanks (wish she could teach me fingerstyle like that)
She is really good
Absolutely talented
The performance is all that much better because the use of direct amplifies notes and flubs. She rocked despite the sound and tuning.
Comme est beau de dire avec son âme tants de belles choses, toi avec ta maitrise. ❤❤
she's good , she's good , nah ! she's good alright . and sweet , she speaks well in public ( great speech ) and I really like her . what other conversation should there be about this performance ? or her ? if it's to gripe about something actually just leave your comments in a box ,_______ at your house . thank you
she is one of the most beautiful and talented players I've ever heard, the recording quality is not worthy of her talent, from experience a sound system can either make you sound grate or make you sound horrible, but I agree classical guitar should not be run through a sound system were you add effects to it. the true tone of a classical guitar is beautiful by itself.
Wonderful, too!
Wow, sounds great, love it!
I am not a sound engineer or a professional musician so I don't get all the whinging going on here; she is an amazing young person with an awesome talent. I couldn't watch the video as my fingers ached seeing her dexterity and reach! Loved it
We love you Ana
A lovely performance despite the poor sound. The two pieces by Piazzolla are among my favourite guitar pieces! Though I will never be able to play them nearly this well myself...
+sir Meldon hey dude, believe in yourself. I'm not a musician and I don't know how hard it actually is to play this piece, but I have learned that pretty much everything comes with dedication.
Daniel Kuruiwa to master a guitar to perfection you need two lives. It is difficult to comprehend the instrument you need both sides of yourbrain simultaniously
Hola Anita, magnifica tu Capacidad interpretativa de Temas tan Hermosos .Gracias por darme la Oportunidad de ver y Conocer tu inmenso Talento en tu desarrollo Profesional. Gracias infinitas... Chao.
The amplification is so good .For many reason .
This was extremely well played in live situation. Recording quality suxxxx. Definitely one of the best OR even the best classical quitar players today.
😳2009????🤘
I have only been rocked since late 2019. And tears to smiles, those sounds, passionate performance and love for the expression medium assures my world doest ROCK. 🤙;}~
Magistral...Dulzura en su maxima expresion!!!
I really enjoyed this, so beautiful, even with the sound issues. Dare I say better than Segovia?
Yep. But there are 100s of next gen players 'better than'. Ana however is one of the best.
Yes
Ana and Carlos Perez, Segovia's of our times
Me Gusta tú Versión de verano Porteno . De Recuerdos de la Alambra y...Asturia y muchos otros temas y Conciertos que he podido ver desde hace mucho Tiempo, Abrazos Anita ...
Contemplava á felicidade satisfeita nó silêncio dos labios contenplo ó doce sotaque jorrando mel nó vocal dás palavras
Talented and beautiful young lady.
Ana, hvala ti ...
This is an electric guitar. They probably chose this method for the recording to eliminate any crowd noise or extraneous disturbance in the hall. Classical guitar is a relatively quiet instrument and you can never predict the respect or appreciation of an audience toward this kind of performance. I'm glad we couldn't hear a cell phone ringing.
Karl Ozenberger wring. This ist Not a Electric Guitar!!!
i like the (lo-fi) amplification/compression of the recording of this performance.
Marvellous playing - but who ever got the idea of recording such a talented player in this way was not knowing his job.
Totally agree. Unfortunately most sound technicians have very little idea how to mic a classical guitar, maybe even other classical instruments. But if one has the option for a mic, even a basic one, I'd definitely take it over amplified nylon string guitar.
Daniel Jordan Yes, there is that unforgivable electronic "frapping" along with other hash and trash going on here. The guitarist is one of the world's best, though.

That's her Redgate, so it must've been.......her..idea. :(
My favorite guitarist today, wonderful
Magnificent
Bravo Ana !
Excellent....
Asturias starting at 19:00
Great!

Perfection
Wonderful ! xxxxxxx
A real musician.
Meravigliosa....stupenda
Superb!
es una artista impresionante, que tiene que ver la amplificación? como si un micrófono externo fuera un elemento natural!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Rigoberto Tipungato es una gran artista pero no se comprende como toca con esa amplificación llena de ruidos. Los armónicos resultan pavorosos!
You are very talented my dear as you well know. You are golden. Beautiful. I wish I had a fraction of the talent, patience and dedication demonstrated. Bravo. If your ever in Oklahoma(why would you be?) I would love to view/listen.
Ana Vidovic is really overwhelming with her music .
Bravo !
Merveilleuse interprétation
I listen to the less than ideal recording, and then I reflect on how many times a guitarist like Julian Bream or John Williams, or indeed a pianist like Vladimir Horowitz or a violinist like Jascha Heifetz must have experienced this in their long careers. I have to conclude: all of them.
Ouch !.. that sound is awufull !... the performance is great !
Predivno, Sretno ti!
Pura magia
❤
Like her she is Brilliant
Astaurias, beautifully played.
Salute !
LOVE U
