Where do you even begin? Such a technically difficult piece, and she effortlessly flutters through it almost as though she's not even consciously playing the notes herself. It's as if the music is simply flowing through her, guiding her fingers playfully across the fretboard, making them dance much like a butterfly aloft in a warm summer breeze. The expression in the music and the expressions on her face both moved me. That she is so clearly enjoying herself and what she is doing makes it all the better. Yes...I do believe in magic.
that bossa part has to be one of the best placed rhythmic chord vamps ever. I especially love your facial expression at that part. like you know where it is taking you in your mind as well as the listeners. Very well executed. great performance.
Very skillfully & joyfully played! Your fingers are dancing indeed. I could just "see" the burst of sunlight through leaves or curtains, dancing just the same way on the ground! Thank you. And yes, that occasional little smile adds another touch of personal enjoyment! :-)
Spectacular performance Magdalena! Your subtle smiling and nodding your head side to side while playing particular passages you favor is simply enchanting. I love this and I thank you for it. :-)
Beautiful playing, even the dynamics are near perfect! Andrew would be proud. And you have a beautiful smile that shows right through the entire piece!
Dear Magdalena, Wow !! You have an incredible talent and in addition you manage to get a lot of fantasy in your interpretation on a very difficult music like all of Mr. Andrew York coins. It looks like you play the notes. It is magic. Thank you for this beautiful musical moment musically Phil
Great Job, super clean performance, I enjoyed listening to it. I was lucky enough to play this for Andrew himself in a masterclass in 2007. Then I got to see him perform and hang out with him and Alex De Grassi last Spring when they came through town. He is a super nice guy on top of being a great composer/performer. Well Done!
The real joy is not only in the elegance of the piece but in the joy you emanate from your performance. Thank you for posting this beautiful piece and for radiating your joy! :)
Just lovely.....great performance...not rushed..perfectly timed..and clearly a piece you enjoy. You've inspired me to try this...but I will never play it as well as you do !! Cheers Alan
The reason I'm here because I'm curious about this song that I've ever heard about 8 years ago. Performed by my friend back in college. I just know the song title sunburst and I search for it in youtube. I found the original by andrew york it's great but uuummmm..I like your cover. It's like I can understand this song more easily by your performance. Thx miss magdalena. Your new fans from Indonesia.
I was guitarist for many years. I loved ABB, Duane Allman blues, but on the serious side, Wes Montgomery and Joe Pass were major influence in my muisc.. I do know how to read which was essential With Joe Pass muisc.. I would love to see the chart on this tune.. I have a feeling, I'd feel like was looking at problem in Astrophyscics, but I'd still like to see if I could follow it..
Andrew York composes wonderful Music...and "Sunburst" is a beautiful piece and so eloquently performed by you, Magdalena! That is a tour-de-force! Lovely!
Beautiful. I love this. Great, and looks to be a difficult piece which you performed magnificently. And your expressiveness make it all the better. Thanks.
Five years late to the party, my apologies. My God! That is beautiful. It's very approachable even with the intricacies of the song. _Extremely_ well played, thank you for that. And that smile at the end could light a city block!
Hi Magdalena!! I just listened to a recording of Andrew York playing this.....and it reminded me of listening to you some 4 years ago....so I came looking for this video....happy I found it! Yes, I still love the way you play and interpreted this piece! so well done!!!
Appart from Andrew York, you're the second person who made me want to learn this song. For me as a beginner and also self taught guitar player, it is hard... but im trying my best. Thanks for sharing!
