Jennifer Kim - Llobet Sor Variations (1965 Ignacio Fleta)

Here's 17-year-old Jennifer Kim playing Miguel Llobet's Variations on a Theme by Sor (also known as La Folia or Les Folies D'Espagne) on a fantastic 1965 Ignacio Fleta classical guitar. Recorded live at the Guitar Salon International showroom in Santa Monica, CA.

I was very fortunate to see her at a Parking masterclass when she she was 9 years old. It was unbelievable then. She even played a piece Parkening did not know . I approached her teacher and studied with him for some time. He helped me a lot. She is a great wonderful performer.

That was an amazing performance! Explosive, clean, and emotional. She's probably the most brilliant guitarist of her generation.

[todhursen]

Her touch is the most nimble I've ever seen; can you imagine what her highest potential will be like? Especially like her harmonics played only with her left hand.

I have to remember to close my mouth whenever I see and hear Jennifer play. I am completely in awe of her technical and artistic ability, so wonderful to see and hear. Thank you.

Just an amazing performance. Not just the technical brilliance but a lot of mature musicality there as well. She appears to have very small hands but manages the stretches and as usual, her tremolo is without equal. Very entertaining stuff.

I can't adequately express how I feel about Jennifer's artistry...when I win the lottery I will hire her for a private concert!!!

I love that Guitar Salon (and Siccas Guitars too) give a platform to some of the brightest and best guitar students in the world - playing on some of the best guitars ever made. It's wonderful!

The harmonic passage was outstanding but when Madame decided to retire her right hand, Seconds later I was blown away. Over the past couple years I’ve progressively worked hard on two similar classical guitars yet I now feel and even regard that I have not wasted time but have not sincerely decided to at least visit the realms of where this diligent exponent of the art dwells…..

Jennifer is an amazing guitarist. Fast, clean and accurate.

[savorykuth]

She making me cry, She's soo amazing!!!

[johnlay]

Jennifer Kim, I just love you. You are a goddess of guitar. ❤

[MattAlexan]

SUPERB! I’m beginning to wonder if there was another time period which enjoyed the abundance of immense talent we have today! Perhaps there was- and we just didn’t know about it... I am so thankful for YouTube and hope it will always be as good as today!

[johnnyconner]

Just awesome! This wonderful performance is a perfect example of how great a mastery of all the many subtle nuances of the guitar that a human being can ever hope to attain in one lifetime -- and yet, she is still quite young! Bravissima!

[fanpim]

Amazing!and she looks so young.I always feel that musicians of that caliber are superior human beings who make me feel inferior, jealous and envious.

[parratt-world]

To be so accomplished at her age, we can look forward to an impressive future with this talented young player.
