I guess this is one time I will really disagree with my buddy Todd. I think Vidovic is way more fluid and musical than the chinese girl. Su Meng had her nose in the fingboard too. I mean that Paganini caprice is so over done I guess, Malmsteen, Fisk, you name it, didn't we just see some other Chinese girl playing the same version on youtube??? I thought John Williams "got the point" of doing variations, and made one of his own, and made it cool and guitaristic sounding, THIS caprice I mean. These folks trying to play the violin on the guitar seem to be just showing off to me. And this girl tried to do the arps like Williams, but it came out so weak. And that pizzicato, not pushing on the frets...just dumb IMO. I mean that section is so pretty, just play the notes. She is fast and clean for sure. There are so many varitions that are way better on the violin. The only version I heard I liked was Williams because he said forget it, the guitar is not a violin. Just my feeling anyway. My opinions about classical guitarists tend to go against the norm. I always felt Williams was a very expressive player, Bream really got on my nerves. Segovia sometimes very much feeling and things, but other times the really bad rhythm irritates me. I like his Chaccone, but the Spanish classics, no. I like very much the compositions and playing of Roland Dyens. I guess he is my favorite. But the best player I ever heard was Jose Maria Gallardo del Rey. Such good rhythm and sound and expression. But he just played the Spanish classics, but his own way. But I am sure there those out there who would say, no he is just a machine or whatever, or he was too "flamenco" in his approach.

Oh, by the way, has anyone opened ears on Juan Manuel Canizares' new Albeniz project? I have, and I'm disappointed... He is on a seriously obnoxious bender the whole time, if you catch my meaning, and he likes to scoop a lot of notes, too. Also, maybe he intended it, but his tone is just a little too bright/naily for me. In conclusion it falls very short of the trio's performances on B side of PdL's Aranjuez disc. It's a bummer because the concept is interesting to me. peace, Con

LOOOOL!!! That sounds like a CHALLENGE, Jacqueline! One day I will surprise you by posting just such a picture. Alas, not today though I think I'll wait until I've grown my hair as long as Vicente's just to complete the look... Jb
