Isn’t this the true magic that lies in KZread? I’m sitting in my lounge on a wet Sunday evening in troubled and troubling times. And here this staggeringly talented young person freely gives a world-class performance of her beautiful art. Sharing both her craft and her love, blessing the luthier with her expression of his work, blessing the composer with her arrangement, blessing us with her precious gift, asking nothing in return for the tens of thousands of hours practising and pain and faith that carpeted the long path bringing her here. Bless her. Bless her from the bottom of my heart.

Troubled times, lol. Stopped reading there.

Now I noticed that this was done 5 years ago! It's amazing that she can pull off playing this music this way at any age, but at such a young age...she is destined to be an important musician.

The" Harmonious Blacksmith" nicely done! I love you Stephanie!❤

This is the best "bedroom playing" that I have ever seen! Bravo, very beautyfull!

I love that little smile at the end.

The best playing of that piece that I've ever heard and I've heard a lot of them.

An early work, but just as polished as those recordings in 2020. This is an amazingly difficult piece to play let alone master in the way her arrangement and execution permit the dreams

She`s among the most talented players I ever had the pleasure to enjoy!

What a talent! A perfect execution of this sort of piece. Nonchalant performance. Good dynamic scheme. It began well and got better. Exceptional left hand agility.

Still my favourite recording after all these years and without the music in front of you. Magical

Jesus what the heck. I love this channel. How can you have such a wide variety of such complicated songs that you can play by memory?

A true artist and loves what she plays i could listen all night

Maybe 4 years late, but this is the video that I always come back to for this piece. My favorite!! Hoping your career is going well. Hard to do if you love classical guitar. Thanks!!

What wonderful dedication and discipline she has.

I am totally amazed at how good this Aussie girl is. Another super guitarist from Down Under!

Every great musician, emerges from his bedroom

@@CrimsenScarr Not so much. When use of a gender specific pronoun is eschewed (and there are no rules that prohibit it), such as in this instance, 'their' can, and is, used for both singular and plural application in informal usage. Although some editors cling to the traditional usage of 'their' for strictly plural usage for more formal writing, it is quickly becoming a thing of the past.

Absolutely wonderful ... bravo Ms. Jones.

Jesus! Great talent! A thousand thumbs up! I was looking for an interpretation of this piece and this is all I need to hear on youtube

Agreed. With social distancing 1000 thumbs would take 3 football fields.

Excellent definition between the different voices. The bass really stands out clearly.

Miss Jones, that was wonderful, thank you.

Such an outstanding musician. Music is in every fiber, corpuscle and cell in your body, Stephanie. Your interpretations are magical-seriously. And you don't let your techical skills get in the way of musical interpretation. Amazing! As someone who spent 2 1/2 years studying in Spain with José Tomás, I was surrounded by an endless stream of guitarists from around the world, including David Russell. You're at the top of musical expression.

No, Dear Tomas, if Miss Stefanie is 'an outstanding' musician', this is no evidence of it. Here she rushes through it like a dry scale exercise. She has no understanding of the inner qualities of this pierce, whatsoever, and, like so many other guitarists, cannot penetrate Giuliani's style.

@Ken Brown I haven't. But guitarist, Cornel Imry, who I met in Alicante and was one of my roommates, did write an excellent piece about Tomas after the latter's death. Cornel spent many summers studiyng with Tomas starting in the early 1960's. They were good friends and has many grand tales to tell.

@@higherresolution4490 Thank you for your kindness, Dear Tomas. Actually I have seen Miss Stefanie give some fine performances with other repertoire. It often is that guitarists find Giuliani bedeviling to understand, because, for reasons that I have never understood, guitarists do not ordinarily hearken to the Mozartian 'Bel Canto' style. It may never be her cup of tea, for every musician has some things they do really well and other things not. Alles beste!

@@beasheerhan4482 Wenn man heute die Gemeinschaft der klassischen Gitarristen betrachtet, spiegelt Ihre Analyse genau das wider, was wir sehen. Nochmals vielen Dank für Ihre Mitteilung! Alles Gute! And yes, expression of the Bel Canto, Rococo style seems to have been lost by the end of the Segovia / Tomás era.

Words are inadequate to describe such a fantastic performance and expression. I simply sit back and enjoy!!

Написать музыку это божественно , но играть её необходимо МАСТЕРСТВО И ГЕНИАЛЬНЫЙ ТРУД ! ! !

beautiful playing and a beautiful sounding guitar.

Danke!!! Ich durfte träumen, nach einem musikalischen Tag in einem Seniorenheim, bei dieser Musik! Den Schönen Klang gibt jeder weiter, er stimmt die Menschen an........ und Heiter, geht´s in die Zukunft......kein Verdruß.......Musik ist dass.....was jeder muß!!! (oder möchte)!!!

Thank you so much. I thought you brought that music to life: its happiness, "joie de vivre", its beauty. Sheer pleasure listening. Wonderful.

Outstanding world class playing from the bedroom !

I love your performance!!!

Stephanie, the best performance of all - very solid in all issues!

Great video. Awesome musicianship!

Your playing is phenomenal and inspiring at the same time

Such music! Thank you.

Outstanding!!! (and humbling, to be sure)

You can see in your expression how much you love to play, and the competent way you handle your instrument so that it has become a part of you, and your art, and it is an art which you are excelling in, I know this was posted 4 years ago but I love it. I have been having a concert tonight which you played for me and I am so grateful that you came along at the right time on KZread I had to add you to my subs.

Magnífico, genial, estupendo, fantástico, hermoso!

Like an Angel. Love this Music. Played it when I was younger. Fun. Bet you play The Rossingol as well.

Stephanie, as always excellent playing. 👏🏻,👏🏻,👏🏻 Best Wishes to you from London

I’m learning this piece right now and this video is a blessing, I love the interpretation, phrasing and tempo and I was able to simplifying a few of the fingerings written in by watching the left hand. Love this video sm

Lovely variations and great performance!

An angel... heavenly sound.

Very good. Glad you played the fourth variation. My favorite.

Nice to watch this. A serious guitar player. Greetings from Caracas, Venezuela.

came here again, still love this majestic playing

Sublime, casi perfecta. Además bellísima,

Sounds like a lullaby. Very soothing...

Very inpiring. Hope to hear and see your performance in Almere next week.

Thank you for playing 🌺

She does a beautiful job. I have loved this since I was in college for music, though I didn't play guitar then. 😁

Beautiful performance!

That's a very hard song to play. She plays it well. Very nice. Thank you.

You, very skillful guitarist. Thanks for your playing.

You are amazing, love the way u play them. I need to practiseee

nicely done! consistent volume and pace and good classical sound too :)

Beautiful guitar work, Beautiful performance beautiful girl and nice bedroom 💐🎶🎼😁🌷🎶

Very Good! Preciosa manera de ejecutar la guitarra. Enhorabuena!

So, here Stephanie shows both a sort of elfin wit in the allegrettos & prestos, yet also an almost dreamy quality in adagio/lento variations - neither approach do I remember in anyone else's playing of this famous piece. She is a very original artist, without forced novelty. Fortunate for us that she seems to have arranged a pretty decent audio recording setup for her around-the-house or around-the-hotel room "concert hall. " Oh, yes - a couple of miniscule not-quite-perfect touches; nice that she has a real pro performer's instinct to blow right past them. Impressive in all respects.

So Beautiful ❤..

Belíssima interpretação !
