I have to say, as one who has heard probably more than half of all the recordings Segovia made, this young lady is one of the very few guitarists that has his ability to make single notes stand out in perfect clarity. In this sense, she is above all her contemporaries. (IMO)
Sin duda hay pocos guitarristas de su generación (y de las pasadas) que tengan esta sensibilidad musical de entender y transmitir tan bien el mensaje musical de la partitura
This sticks a finger up at the critics who say Bach should be played without emotion. An amazingly mature and deeply musical performance. I usually never comment on the look of a player but your hair is amazing. Well done!
Can one be astonished by a depth of quiet feeling? This is a deeply personal interpretation of the piece, & Stephanie carries it through with a kind of quiet, effortless power - emotional power, almost subterranean, so to speak. Takes getting used to with Bach; the type of thing that is easy to do badly, & here she, again, excels without falsity. Remarkable. The Brück instrument, impressive in itself, seems perfectly wedded to her sensibility. Not to beat this aspect to death: We are now, in the RUclips video environment, experiencing musical performances with an emphasis on visual composition that is more intensely focused than we would notice, or, perhaps, care about, in a recital hall. We are not in a large, resonant space, we are viewing a screen.So, yes, the poetics of design in light, color, camera angles & distances, fades, etc. are definitely part of the performance.We seek a higher standard of complete harmony, integration & beauty than may have earlier applied to either audio only, or to attending live performances.The fact of a woman's beauty, if natural, indeed adds to the visual design of these video performances.Is it required? Of course not; &, there is no need to consider it a distraction, either - nor is it vulgar to offer a compliment.Stephanie's beauty & personal style (can we say "punkette" without insult?) is a surprising foil or counterpart to her emotional expression in this performance.She is altogether original, quietly striking, deserving of great appreciation.
This is playing of a maturity beyond her years. Perfect pacing and temp, wonderful variation in tones for this piece by Bach. It reminds one of the playing by Glenn Gould the Canadian exponent of Bach for piano. Very refined playing. It should also be mentioned that the instrument is exceptional, actually, seemingly just right for this music.
Instead of making me want to quit guitar (since I will probably never play this well), these videos make me want to pick my guitar up and just play for the joy of it, making it up as I go and getting lost. They make me appreciate what a rare gift it is to be able to play it well, and so thanks to Ms. Jones for reigniting my enthusiasm for my instrument!
I must respectfully disagree. While Stephanie is among the best classical guitarists I’ve ever heard, Glenn is in a league of his own: he literally becomes each note he plays, and nobody else can do that.
There's a difference between playing the 'dots' and making them into music. You are an accomplished musician and it is a joy to have discovered you and to listen to you. I know you will have a great career and look forward to hearing and seeing you again and again and again.
Much love to you from New Zealand girl!! I had auto play on while working and for almost the entire play through found myself mesmerized. Then I watched you play and could see the music in your every movement. Stunning not only to listen to but a beauty to behold as well. I wish you great fortune in your travels.
Magnífica interpretación, cada obra que escucho interpretada por Stephanie es algo maravilloso porque se nota que entiende y disfruta lo que toca, algo que junto es poco visto en la guitarra clásica.
I know next to nothing about guitars, guitar playing - classical, rock or whatever else. Just WOW. Now I have a benchmark to compare other performances/performers to - though I suspect I am being unfair to everyone else. Great. Really quite enjoyable to listen to you play.
So easy to get the Bach feel wrong, but you child nailed it in full. I love the feeling you pour into the phrases. Powerful tone with just the right amount of balance between bass and treble. It was refreshing to hear. This guitar is in the right hands :) Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.
Exquisite tonal quality - you are indeed my new favourite performer of the classical guitar repertoire! Thank you for working so hard to achieve this level of performance excellence!
Thank you so much, it was amazing working with you!
Stephanie Jones
Stephanie Jones You kind of remind Me of Cindy Lauper in her 20's & just as gifted. Talent and appearance beautiful
the music is very feeling
Guitarra Crítica Hiding behind a fake name making a comment like that tells Me you suffer from low ego, jealousy or both
And of course RUclips comments are the best way of expressing your anger... poor guy...
I have to say, as one who has heard probably more than half of all the recordings Segovia made, this young lady is one of the very few guitarists that has his ability to make single notes stand out in perfect clarity. In this sense, she is above all her contemporaries. (IMO)
Indeed. Superb mastery of accenting

she, the instrument and the music- absolutely gorgeous!
Stephanie uses the resonance of this guitar to create a pleasing warmth, while keeping the single notes crystal clear. This is an elegant performance.

What a player! Superb sensitivity and clarity.
audio quality is amazing... you can hear her subtle breathing, which makes the guitar come to life. I'm baffled,
Difficult to describe my feelings. I am amazed, enchanted, and somehow a little bit envious. Many, Many, Many Congrats Stephanie!!!
Wonderfully and delightfully played. Thank you, Miss Jones (and Siccas).
It's good to be reminded once in a while that human beings like these exist.

wow great job real clean tone very articulated playing ...
Thanks a lot. It's your soul overwhelming the music and the listener.
What a wonderful instrument! Thank you! Miss Jones is very good, and thanks to her for this good moment as well.
She has such wonderful connection with the music, reminiscent of Glen Gould’s piano work, feeling every note.
I must respectfully disagree. While Stephanie is among the best classical guitarists I’ve ever heard, Glenn is in a league of his own: he literally becomes each note he plays, and nobody else can do that.
The bass is outstanding! Excellent phrasing.
Ms Jones, your phrasing and rhythm go straight to my heart. Not an ambiguous phrase.
I love how you can hear her breathe . Talk about a brutally honest mic. There's no doubt that her guitar sounds just the way you heard it !
Beautiful - played with flawless technique and great sensitivity .
thank you so much for that nice moment together with Bach
Fantastic video 👏👏👏
Wonderful interpretation. Skillful, emotive playing. Thank you!
Lovely , You have the right feeling con Bach.Superb!
What a magnificent sounding guitar! The notes of such clarity and also the piece of undeniable virtuosity.
Great performance, great channel. Lots of great stuff on the SiccasGuitars channel!
I knew by the 2nd bar how fantastic this was going to be, I love it played so slowly and a little freely. Very fine instrument too.
That was Therapy for the Mind, Body & Soul, thank you!
amazing performance Stephanie and also a very nice camera work, thank you all
Amazingly beautiful... yes, the music too ...
Beautiful - well played - great phrasing! Thank you!!
What can I say? To me this is the most exquisite, sublime, rendition of this piece that I’ve ever heard. RG🎉
What a wonderful, heartfelt, sensitive performance. Bravo.
first listening: just a normal good job that I can see everywhere on the internet.
second listening: it has touched my soul.
Stunning. Stephanie, your articulation and expression are absolutely wonderful. One of the very best. Maybe the one.
