I discovered a wonderful young classical guitarist on YouTube. Iva Kosić is a Serbian musician studying classical guitar at a German university. She recently graduated with a Masters degree in music. She performs concerts, teaches online, and is active on social media where she creates and posts her own YouTube videos.

This performance of Mariage d’Amour – Paul de Senneville played by Iva Kosić is so beautiful I had to post it. On Dec 24, 2023, Iva Kosić gifted her followers with this YouTube video and holiday message: “For Christmas Eve I am sharing with you my performance of this well-known piano piece played on classical guitar. Merry Christmas and enjoy🎄💖” She also posted a YT Short version of it on a loop.

Iva later wished her fans a Happy Valentine’s Day🌹 with this beautiful romantic Short, Romance (Wiki). See more videos on her social media: YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook.

Six months later Iva played a little summer version of Mariage d’amour for us on her brand new @merida_guitars acoustic guitar. She wrote that her full version just reached more than 200,000 views on YouTube🥳.

Another Serbian musician I enjoy listening to is classical pianist and harpist Nadja Dornik. I posted a few performances she recorded at the Belgrade Philharmonic Concert Hall. Nadja Dornik performs her beautiful transcription of Chopin’s Fantaisie-Impromptu Op.66 for a harp. Almost a year later she performed the same piece on piano in Paris where she studies. While in Belgrade she recorded each of the three movements of Claude Debussy’s Suite Bergamasque, L.75. I link to the first two and posted the famous third movement: Harpist Nadja Dornik beautifully performs Claude Debussy’s romantic composition Clair de Lune.

New: Boris Björn Bagger plays the well-known piano piece Passacaglia by Händel & Halvorsen on guitar

Added: Enjoy two beautiful pieces of classical music for piano—Passacaglia by Händel and Halvorsen, and Mariage d’Amour by Paul de Senneville

About a year later, KPBPiano posted Passacaglia & Mariage d’Amour | Relaxing Piano Music.

I later found a young Indonesian musician, Amy Evelyn (Amy Tapping), playing Passacaglia and Mariage d’Amour on a double neck electric guitar using a two-handed tapping technique. Impressive!
