Beautifully played with love and feeling.
You are lucky to play a Santos Hernandez.
I was also lucky to play one made by him in Madrid 1933.
It was a flamenco with wooden tuning pegs.
It was a light as a feather and the most powerful guitar I have ever played.
I was only very young (15) when I played it and only decades later came to learn what I had really played.
A wonderful master luthier.
You did him justice!!!
Thank you.
Pete.

I have heard piano performances by exceptional pianists that weren't this cleanly played. Brava

[chucktrier]

Thanks wonderful playing and tone. In a somewhat tired tune, brought back to life.

[goscott]

Easily the best Leyenda I've heard in 50 years!
GOD bless Jiji, *BRAVO!*

[jean-pierreblaquiere]

Merci, jiji on, de cette magnifique interprétation de la "leyenda"... Très ému par votre jeu plein de finesse et de sensibilité

[felixmarinjr.]

I had grown tired of hearing this piece until now. Wow, Jiji brought it back to life!

Call me a profan, because there were many great Masters playing this, but I agree with a lot of comments here - this is the best Leyenda interpretation I have heard! Played passionately and with sensitivity, beautiful touch. In general I am not particularly fond of tremolo, which can sometimes sound forceful and unsubtle, but this time I listened with real pleasure.

Heard her play this piece at Lincoln Center this evening. She is remarkable. Her playing is delicious, complex, a treat!

Superb playing by Jiji, one of the best rendition of Legenda I've heard so far (it would be nice to hear more from her, she is a pleasure to listen to...real music here!) ....The guitar has a big voice, and a nice warm sound!

[diogenes]

Wow! What a delicate and nuanced touch!

Really nice rendition, Jiji. You did a good job with phrasing and your performance here is incredible. You may rest at ease and have confidence that you did a great job.
