We could all use more grace and beauty in our lives during these troubled times, so here’s a newly posted video of Ana Vidovic playing Federico Moreno Torroba‘s sublime ‘Torija’ followed by Toru Takemitsu’s wonderful arrangement of Howard Arlen’s melody for the song from the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, “Over the Rainbow.” (The Torroba piece is from his  fabulous Castillos de España suite, published in 1970; Vidovic recorded it on her excellent 2007 Naxos album Federico Moreno Torroba: […]]]> 14762 https://classicalguitarmagazine.com/ana-vidovic-xuefei-yang-together-in-concert/ Thu, 23 May 2019 23:58:28 +0000 http://classicalguitarmagazine.com/?p=12971

Croatian-born classical guitarist Ana Vidovic's technical mastery and stage presence are capturing the hearts and minds of fans around the globe.]]> 12603 https://classicalguitarmagazine.com/ana-vidovic-is-sensational-in-sf-concert/ Sun, 16 Dec 2018 19:11:55 +0000 http://classicalguitarmagazine.com/?p=11844
Ana Vidovic has made San Francisco a regular concert stop for many years, and the Croatia-born, Baltimore-based guitarist is clearly a favorite in the area: Her December 8 concert at the gorgeous and acoustically perfect St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in SF—site of many a great show in the Omni  Concerts guitar series—sold out far in advance. It’s easy to see why: Vidovic is unquestionably a top-echelon player—fluid, precise, powerful, emotional—and she usually plays crowd-pleasing, popular pieces. You’re not likely to […]]]> 11844 https://classicalguitarmagazine.com/celebrating-mauro-giuliani-ana-vidovic-plays-the-grande-ouverture-op-61/ Tue, 08 May 2018 21:49:03 +0000 http://classicalguitarmagazine.com/?p=9914
On May 8, 1829 (that’s 189 years ago), the great Italian guitarist and composer Mauro Giuliani passed away at the age 48 in Naples, Italy. We celebrate one of the guitar’s first geniuses with this exceptional version of his Grande Ouverture, Op. 61 (1809) performed with élan and grace by Ana Vidovic. Incidentally, an English translation of the latest book about Giuliani, written by descendant Nicola Giuliani (who also runs the Casa Museo Mauro Giuliani in Bisceglie, in southern Italy), is […]]]> 9914 https://classicalguitarmagazine.com/watch-ana-vidovic-play-isaac-albenizs-asturias/ Thu, 23 Nov 2017 14:00:27 +0000 http://classicalguitarmagazine.com/?p=8426
From time to time, we post classical guitar videos on the website and Facebook page of our sister publication Acoustic Guitar (which is mainly, but not exclusively, devoted to steel-stringed guitars and the musicians who play them). This week, we shared this video with Acoustic Guitar’s readers/fans and it was very well-received, so we thought we should post it here, for Croatian guitarist Ana Vidovic‘s MANY fans in the classical guitar community! Isaac Albéniz’s “Asturias” (also known as “Leyenda,” which […]]]> 8426
