Dear Stephanie! You are a great story teller! If people knew a little more about the conception of this piece they would understand what I meant by story teller. This piece is a homage to the Tupi Guarany indigenous people from Brazil and describes through 3 contrasting sections their creation myth. It opens with an ethereal atmosphere that will introduce the supreme God Tupa. A second section called Primordial Garden, quite lyrical, describes these people and their perfect world. A third and final section is a reference to their rituals as they practiced animistic pantheism and cannibalism. So, besides your amazing technical skills you can communicate though music these abstract fantasies. Congratulations!
Stephanie introduced me to your music, and I am so grateful to her. The more I hear, the more I want to hear, and now some of my favourite composers are neither European nor dead! Thanks to her and to you!
Uma peça lindíssima de Sérgio Assad, pelas mãos de uma violonista primorosa como Stephanie Jones. O Brasil capaz de produzir um Assad passa por um momento difícil e os povos indígenas, particularmente, têm resistido como possível à pandemia. Está peça se realiza em um momento bastante oportuno. Parabéns!
For me, Stephanie is the most expressive and precise player of the modern age. I grew up listening to the late Julian Bream, my original guitar hero, and Stephanie is the closest to him that I've heard. A wonderful interpreter of music and an exquisite player.
La musique contemporaine demande un engagement incroyable à ses interprètes. Le résultat est impressionnant tant au niveau de la composition elle-même que de cette surhumaine interprétation. Stéphanie Jones est une wonder woman de la guitare et une sublime musicienne!
Clearly wrote this for you as you are about the only person who could play this piece as he intended! Such mastery! Incredible. Just love RUclips to allow such moments as this to be seen and heard. Still numb from watching you play such a remarkable piece.
So the handful of people who click "dislike" recognize that Stephanie has unbearable talent. She has a full deck of intelligence, appeal and heart that they can never experience. Go Steph !
This is fire! Just amazing. listening to this piece on the CD is engrossing enough but seeing her playing it is really mind blowing. And another wonderful Video/Audio presentation from Jakob too.
Wow! Brava! What a wonderful performance! Congratulations to you, both for having Maestro Assad honor you with this piece, and for playing it so beautifully.
Hard to play I suspect for anyone not as good as you, wonderful skills you always show, and it must be an honour to have this piece specially written for you Stephanie lets hope more will follow.
Fantastic performance! I find this type of composition (percussive and rhythmically complex) very difficult to learn. You've really distinguished yourself as one of the great young guitarists of our time, Stephanie!
Well Stephanie Jones, you certainly never cease to astound and delight! A warm thank you to Sergio Assad for he indeed knows what you are capable of! Beautifully executed!
out of this world Stephanie, brilliant, i dont think are are to many guitarists with the speed and dexterity to play some of Sergio's compositions, loved it
WOW!! That was stunning. Thank you so much for posting a masterpiece. I was on the edge of my seat the entire piece. Wasn't sure what was coming next. Bravo!!
God this is an awesome composition!!!! Love love loved it!!! So many diverse moods and feelings evoked. Of course your superb playing can't hurt. Just sampled both albums at the store site. God their gorgeous works. Know what I'm getting myself for Xmas!!!! 💖💖💖🎸🎸🎸😍🤩😍 💖💖💖🎸🎸🎸😍🤩😍
Oh... this piece carries a story within. And you can hear it on every single note. Amazing works. Great composition, outstanding perfomance. Thank you very much.
Stephanie has such a sensitive touch, a perfect balance and smoothness of energy, masterful timing and phrasing and a natural soulfulness in her interpretations. She reminds me of the great Ida Presti. No guitarist I’d rather listen to these days than Stephanie Jones. No matter what she plays her music touches me deeply.
What a lovely piece your rendition is with a delicious emotional range........exciting, begging the ear to listen, the contrasts, harmonics, and dissonance with racing runs. Goose bumps......more! Thanks!
It amazes me how that beautiful piece could have been imagined and written and then so wonderfully interpreted and played. Have to credit the beautiful guitar as well.
this is an amazing performance. your tone is astonishing and the control over the voices while playing those big strummed passages is really something breathtaking.
OK, so, I play the guitar. Then I sit and listen amazed to this masterpiece of composition and performance, with it being no more attainable to me than if I had never picked up the instrument, but only too aware of the prowess involved. Brava.
Stephanie is indeed among the greatest who have ever lived. When the composer composes a piece for the performer then takes the time to congratulate the performer, especially when he is a master among masters, we know that Stephanie is a virtuoso of the highest order, far beyond even objective criticism.

An oustanding composition and magnificent interpretation....Thanks both for the gift for the soul.
Beautiful piece. It has taken me about a dozen times to realise its superb dynamics which l have enjoyed and wonder if l shall need to repeat. Thanks for expressing this wonderful rendition so smooothly
Wow! Amazing playing. I don’t have enough superlatives. Congratulations. Stephanie, I truly think you might be a “once in a generation” artiste. Arohanui Mai I Aotearoa. (Love from NZ)
I find it f. crazy: being able to write something like that, being able to play it and wow, how you played it. It’s able to give real time physical pleasure, as this complex melody flows through acrobatic fingers patterns. Not to mention perfect Tempo: I don’t know...I’m awful keeping tempo, but strangely I’g good at recognizing Tempo deburing, youYou’re both (the musician and the composer) unbelievably good. : here there were not
I'm not adept at picking up "story" in music, but this guitar composition is the most unusual and intriguing one that I've ever heard - kudos to Mr. Assad for that. Stephanie, your fretwork is amazing. Adding this track to my playlist of favorite individual music tracks.
you are definitely in the conversations of many and for a very very good reason, incomparable for this moment in time, you will go down in the annals of classical guitarist as one of the great ones, when I listen to other greats I find myself un-interested in comparison, you've figured out what true artistry is, and that is to draw and mesmerized the listener into your world, I listen without seeing

Desde Argentina minha admiracao para o Sérgio, a Stephanie y a musica brasileira.
Thank you for the backstory!

Dear Maestro, where can we order this wonderful piece? Thank you!!
Lindo !!! Felicitaciones
The master has said it... lindo demais

The piece and interpretation are honestly breathtaking. Its like im hearing an orchestra.

JAW DROP.
WTF. This is some hardcore art right here. Both composer and artist, you guys are gods!
Wonderful! A whole orchestra in a box. An expansion of not only repertoire ,but also technique. Loved it.👍💐🕊
Didn't Bach quote on the guitar being a small orchestra of its own
So the handful of people who click "dislike" recognize that Stephanie has unbearable talent. She has a full deck of intelligence, appeal and heart that they can never experience. Go Steph !
Hi Stephanie, that a great and thrilling piece - congrats for the dedication! And congrats to your immaculate interpretation! Bravo! Wulfin
Lovely! The sustain on that instrument is just so good for this piece.
This is fire! Just amazing. listening to this piece on the CD is engrossing enough but seeing her playing it is really mind blowing. And another wonderful Video/Audio presentation from Jakob too.
That is incredibly cool. Both the musical piece, the performance, and the fact he wrote it for you! brava.
That sounded amazing.
Enjoyed watching and listening.
Thank you for sharing.
Surreal, sometimes serene, often disturbingly frenetic and anxious: a reflection of life.
Well done.
Wow! Brava! What a wonderful performance! Congratulations to you, both for having Maestro Assad honor you with this piece, and for playing it so beautifully.
Hard to play I suspect for anyone not as good as you, wonderful skills you always show, and it must be an honour to have this piece specially written for you Stephanie lets hope more will follow.
Magnificent execution of a stunning piece! Never heard an acoustic player that could keep me so completely spellbound.
This is thrilling! I love both you and Sergio Assad. I love how you make this difficult piece look easy. You are so relaxed. Keep on being stellar!
Beautiful, passionately played. You are very gifted. Your playing is like a flower opening up to embrace the soul. Well done. Thank you.
Dear Stephanie, this is absolutely stellar.
Mind boggling performance. Love it as I had bought your new release CD Open Sky.
That was wonderful. Thank you for posting.
Amazing as usual. Sergio is a great composer!

Was für eine beeindruckende Interpretation und Komposition! Seit Julian Bream starb, fand ich keinen so guten Trost wie diese Aufnahme. Danke!
Stephanie Jones has magnificently performed the beautiful piece of the great composer Sérgio Assad. Bravo.
What a lovely piece your rendition is with a delicious emotional range........exciting, begging the ear to listen, the contrasts, harmonics, and dissonance with racing runs. Goose bumps......more! Thanks!
That Was Absolutely Astounding. Thank You.
Holy cow, getting a dedicated piece from Sergio Assad is no joke. Congrats to you
It amazes me how that beautiful piece could have been imagined and written and then so wonderfully interpreted and played. Have to credit the beautiful guitar as well.

I just disappeared for a brief momento . X
Bravo! I'm sure Sérgio Assad is pleased with your excellent performance of his composition.
That is a crazy piece of music! So complex and technical!

Absolutely amazing! Some day you'll be so famous that Sérgio Assad will barely be "that guy who wrote a song for Stephany Jones"
Some beautiful tonal rises and falls with discordant wonder thrown in for good measure and your playing is beautiful as always
Thank you Sophie x
Estefany y Sergio, la verdad es que me dejan descolocado por la belleza de la composición y su interpretación. Estamos en buen camino!!
Amazing Grace and exchange of talent ! Knocks you off your feet !

Thank you, Stephanie and Sergio, very much! You are wonderfull.
Beautifully played Miss Jones... Greetings from Wales 🏴

Ejecución increíble, saludos desde colombia.
特にストロークが素晴らしい！楽譜から読み取る曲の意味をそれこそ情熱的に弾くとともに、客観的というか冷静さというか、そられも含めて個性的かつ印象に残る、感動がある。
Superb!! and many thanks to you and Sergio !!
Que alegría saber qué tan lejos ha llegado la guitarra, simplemente una composición e intérprete de cuidado.
Excellent piece. Really good performance. Thank you
