Beatiful sound, touch and music Alice. I discovered Ida Presti today and your excellent 4 part instruction videos on Ida Presti's technique. Where have I been all this decades not knowing about Ida and you? Fortunately is never too late to discover wonderful artists like Ida and you . Thank you for your music, talent and generosity sharing your experience and musicality with us. I subscribed today. I will start practicing and applying the lessons to my playing today! Greetings from Florida All the best!

Thank you for your kind words. I do hope these ideas help you. Ida Presti's technique certainly had a very major effect in improving my playing when I first encountered her and her technique. Best etc, Alice

I was watching your Ida Presti videos these days, for the 2nd time in my life. The 1st time was some 10 years ago, when I didn't understand much. And while I was thinking "well these videos are 11 years old, how might this beautiful soul be doing right now, a full decade later" and here I see this upload. I know that this is an old recording but the action of uploading it alone gave a breath of life to the channel that filled me with joy. I hope you are doing well Alice, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love for the classical guitar and your will to share your knowledge and enthusiasm with us, this is pure gold that we don't deserve, all this wisdom distilled through years of observation and hard work given to us in its purest form, all coming from true love for guitar and us guitarists. God bless you!

Thank you so much for your very kind words. Glad if I can help other guitarists, and since I am still teaching, hopefully get as much info as possible to others.

I'm so glad that I'm came across this rendition today, along with an insightful description mentioning how you met Duarte in London!

So glad you enjoyed it.

The best version I know, with a precious sound and full of feeling, as Jack's music so deserved!

Many thanks. Yes Jack was always getting people to come to a pub after playing at Wigmore. I think Williams' recording is the only one I ever heard also. Ida Presti was always my inspiration for playing nearly everything - and I did find this piece was a wonderful one. I haven't performed in quite a while, but I am still teaching (only via Skype these days).

@@Guitartzt yes, i do read one of your book about guitar techniques and most articles about you in CG magazines in the early 1980s-90s. I started my guitar playing by listening to Segovia's cassette and Julian Bream and John Williams. They were the ones that motivated me to learn to discover the magic sound of classical guitar.

Great playing. Beautiful sound!
