Hey, look at this cute little girl in her Easter dress with the guitar. Maybe she is going to play "morning has broken"?
this is an old video of Nicola Hall. Music is, of course, extrememly subjective, but (as a pro-guitarist) I have a very small list of muscians in my head who i regard as "freaks of nature" because their musicianship is far beyond what should be considered possible for mortal humans. this elite list of mine consists of maybe 5 or 6 people over the span of 300 years. this is wayyyy beyond virtuoso (or in this case, virtuosa)
She is playing a piece by Mertz composed in the early or mid 1800's. I hope some of you enjoy this stuff, it is very intense. Nicola Hall makes my list, not only for her physical prowess, but her amazing arrangements, and incredible passion, something very difficult to communicate at this level of playing. Sadly, Hall had to retire from playing early due to an RSI disorder in her right hand.
