fell upon this by accident.. never heard of her before ... watched the full concert & it was only beautiful ..

[kensong]

Beautiful technique and interpretation. She is one of those rare musicians who leave time to breathe in the music. I've just bought the amazing cd of her accompanying her sister singing Spanish songs so no wonder. This is lovely music played by a real artist. thank you.

[guitargod]

A great artist! I met her back around 1973 or so. Patelson's House of Music opposite the stage door of Carnegie Hall. In the back room were classical guitars. She was around sixteen. She listened to me play the syncopated Bourrée from Bach's Suite in E minor. She critiqued my fingering choice in the final bars. Little did I know Sharon Isbin would become a multi-Grammy Award winner and first Chair of Julliard's Classical Guitar Department.

Thank you for making this performance available on YT. It was excellent. You were able to express a lot of the unique tonal qualities of the classical guitar through the pieces you played. Thanks again.
