Here is a video of Kanahi Yamashita playing Sergei Rudnev’s beautiful The Old Lime Tree and Frank Martin’s Quatre Pieces Breves in the 2021 10th International Martinez Guitar Competition in Iserlohn. Kanahi’s playing evokes such a wondrous and colorful swirl of sound around her as she plays. It is impossible to not listen. Though I’ve heard the Martin played countless times, her interpretation manages to do everything. It sings, moves, and maintains its intensity from the moment of silence before it even begins. And, her interpretation of Rudnev’s The Old Lime Tree is equally convincing. Enjoy.
