    Nicola Hallさん、あなたのCaprice
    No.24のこのご演奏は、天才の演奏です。
    今までギタリストの演奏に対して一度も「天才」という言葉を使ったことはありません。しかし、
    Nicola Hallさんのご演奏を一度拝見、拝聴した時、あなたは、天才だ、と感じました。
    この作曲家の作品と一体しているというばかりでなく、その原曲、旋律、曲想を
    Nicola Hallさんが実にのびのびとご演奏で表現・解釈・応用・新たな発見・驚き・すばらしさを星の輝きのようにご演奏しておられること、何かモーツァルトの天性というか、神の贈り物(ギリシャ語のカリス=恵み)というか、そういうものが豊かに存在し、それが模造ではなく、最高純度で弾いておられるということです。
    お母様、お父様の信仰を、受け継いでおられるのでしょうか。
    Nicola Hallさんのご演奏は、しかもそれが、真に自然なのです!!
    この演奏の自然には、どれだけギターと作品と演奏を愛して来られたかと一つです!
    天才の演奏はどれだけ聴いても新鮮です。何回もこの映像を拝見、拝聴しております。
    Nicoa Hallさん、ありがとう!!
    すばらしいご演奏、パフォーマンスです!!
    Caprice No.24のご演奏を終えてのあなたのパフォーマンス、仕草、笑顔、最高に素敵です!!
    この演奏に感動してます!!
    重ねてありがとう!!

    • @qwargy
      @qwargy Před 2 lety

      Her problem affected the index finger of her right hand, but she could still play fast and still perform at a high level. However, by that time she'd had enough of being a performer and changed her career. I had a few lessons with her in the 90s.

    i also agree to the idea to play a simplified version, like she does. only then your're able to do it with passion; and more: it's just more guitaristical; the original piece has very violinistical manners and allures to give the maximum in variation. therefore you have to translate it into guitaristical manners, just like in the translation of languages. otherwise you'll miss the 'Geist' of the piece.

    I met her when she was still giving concerts in her teens. I remember her playing the Aranjuez in Cambridge. She had flawless technique and showed promise as an artist.
    But then... she ditched art to become a lawyer!
    I guess we all have to make decisions based on where our heart really is. Now I read in her solicitor's page:
    "In her spare time, Nicola enjoys baking, running and travel."
    No room for the guitar...
    "... Theirs not to reason why..."

    • @louiswalker5080
      @louiswalker5080 Před 6 lety +12

      It appears she suffered a tendonitis-type injury affecting her right hand. It effectively ended her professional career as a classical guitarist, so she retrained as a lawyer. I've only seen videos of her as a young player, but the talent and potential were there for all to see.

    Sometimes a highly gifted person drops out of a field never to return, so keep in mind that the greatly gifted young guitarists that you listen to now, like Anton Boyer for example, may disappear as a guitarist forever. Enjoy and treasure them while you can. The competition and resulting burn out takes its toll and once they are gone they are usually gone for ever. Nicola Hall is an example of an expert who decided to chuck it it and do something more suitable to the long run. I understand that she gave up music to become a lawyer. That may have been a good decision for her but we suffered a great loss.
