I've played piano for 57 years and guitar for 45 years. I've played world tours in times past, on multiple instruments. My goal was to play flawlessly. In this video, Ana makes it appear that one actually CAN play flawlessly. Never heard one single mistake, though I was not listening to criticize. I was listening to enjoy. What makes her a true master is in her ability to evoke the spirit and emotion of what the composer was intending to convey to the listener. As well as accuracy. Nothing makes a musician cringe more than hearing mistakes where accuracy is of the utmost priority. Ana is to be commended for performing one of the most soul stirring ACCURATE concerts I have ever heard. I literally put down my guitar in 2011 after evil people tried to destroy my life, and put the guitar away from me even more, after they ended my dad's life in 2014. So... 13 years of not playing... I sound like a pure amateur now, as my wife forced me to record one of my gospel originals 6 weeks ago for the family of her dear deceased friend, for them to play the video for their funeral in another country. To me, it sounded so amateurish. When I played a 6 country, Europe guitar concert tour in 2004, 17 concerts, I had practiced for 6 hours per day, playing every set through, playing the whole concert through, a total of 4 times per day, and practice sections that needed work. I went from 80% proficiency (with years of playing 3 hours per week) to 90% proficiency in the first 2 weeks. It took 5 months and 2 weeks more to get to 97% proficiency, and I could not pass that point. And that was the best I'd ever been in my life. That's how hard it is to try to achieve perfection. Without playing for 13 years, I'm now playing at about 70% proficiency now, like a 4th year student. Not good. What you are hearing now is someone who has achieved 99%, which is nearly impossible. Ana is among a few dozen IN THE ENTIRE WORLD who have attained to this level of playing. You're witnessing a miracle. (Edited for grammar)

I love listening to this over and over again at work. I feel like a King who has the best musicians in the land play for him, just for his pleasure. How lucky are we today.
-
Can you believe we get to listen to this for free anytime we want?
-
Her precision is astonishing, incredibly fluid playing. Every note is as clear as a bell.
-
How in the WORLD does she remember a solid hour of endless notes? Exquisite skill and amazing memory!
-
When I was little my grandmother told me that angels play the guitar. It is true!!!!
-
Ana is such an angel. The way she plays and her stunning beauty make her a sight for sore eyes.
-
Ana Vidovic doesn't play the guitar, she dances on the strings. AMAZING
-
Reading these comments makes my heart happy. Thank you all!
-
This is the real reason the internet exists.

Ana Vidovic is simply mesmerizing! Her performance at St. Mark's is a true masterclass in classical guitar. The precision, emotion, and passion she brings to each piece are absolutely breathtaking. Watching this concert felt like a journey through the depths of musical expression. Kudos to the Omni Foundation for capturing such a beautiful performance. Thank you, Ana, for sharing your incredible talent with the world! 🎶👏"

Whoever made that request, I thank you and Ana for playing it so Beautifully.
-
not only was this performed beautifully, the sound engineer did a great job too!
-
"Asturias? I'll try." -- That was an understatement of astronomical magnitudes.
-
She quickly became my favorite classical guitarist of all time.
-
The most beautiful woman I ever saw play the most beautiful guitar I ever heard God bless you
-
When a musician is One and the Same with their instrument - like Ana - listeners are in heaven without needing to die.
-
How anyone can sit there and play like that for an hour without messing up any notes is beyond me
-
2 yrs late to the concert- I can’t believe I missed this masterpiece of a performance. I’ve been following Ana’s career since she was a child and you will not find a more musical guitarist. The comment that her guitar is an extension of her MIND is absolutely correct. Her voice separation is uncanny -she often sounds like an ensemble. That goes far beyond just “technique”.
-
Today is my first day of listening to Ms. Vidovic. I an breathless. Glory be to life for guiding me to her.
