Perfect ❤
My grandpa was born in 1913 and taught me how to play guitar when I was 8. I remember when he joked that he didn't know how Segovia could pluck the strings with those sausage-like fingers.
Just look at those hands... dios mio
What a gift! To bring back a sound memory for me from 1954-1955, when I heard these sounds at a live concert in Boston MA and knew, just an unsophisticated college girl, that I was hearing something altogether extraordinary.
My friend Bill Bryant, a barber in Roxbury, bluesman and buddy of Wes Montgomery,
saw him whenever he played
Boston. Bill was not a trained
musician but he summed it up
thus " Segovia turned his guitar
into an orchestra" As for the
know-it-all snobs, Mr. Bryant
(Born 1915) used to say " If you pour education into a fool
what you get Is an educated
fool!",
Never forget that the classical guitar is what it is today because of his hard work and vision. If there had been no Segovia there would have been no classical guitar as we know it today.
Thanks for sharing. Exquisite.
Not completely true! Barrios had a developed style and a compositional prowess that owed nothing to Segovia! He was every bit the technician and virtuoso Segovia was but even more a composer as well.
Agreed. Barrios is surely the greatest composer for the classical guitar. Sadly, he didn’t possess the worldly wisdom necessary to reach Segovia’s level of success.
He would have but was not allowed to enter the United States. His wife was a woman of color. He recorded before Segovia. You should check out Six Silver Moon beams. Barrios was an artist as well and could draw. He was incredibly gifted.
Nick R A great contribution, no doubt. R Sainz de la Maza was, apparently, excellent. The Concierto de Aranjuez was dedicated to him.
I believe that were at least 1 or 2 other great guitarists, close to that period of time.
Interesting reading some of the comments here. What Mr. Robinson stated is very correct. Segovia brought the guitar from the salon parlor to the concert stage singlehandedly. Barrios was never a popular composer, or recording performer, before John Williams brought him to the fore. Also it could be debated, who the greatest guitar composer was. Did anyone forget Tarrega or Sor?
Segovia è una cosa unica un maestro senza uguali nella storia della chitarra classica e chi ha messo un commento negative non è altro che un blasfemo.
The greatest master! I am fond, that I had the pleasure, to see him live before he died.
Such a joy to listen to. I've never heard such a beautiful sweet tone. He is incomparable. Always will be. God bless the man!!!

El más grande. La guitarra más evocadora. Es cerrar los ojos e imaginarte los maravillosos patios y campos de nuestros abuelos.
Absolutely brilliant
big respect for the grandmaster of Guitar!
In 1974 , in Bamberg Germany, US Army. I picked up a Fredrick Noad book on Solo Guitar ( still have it).
I did the Pima exercises, hoping to be able to play, Jim Croce, Jethro Tull, Paul Simon, etc. I read through the book and get enthralled with music only for guitar.
Fast Forward, get back to the world. I start collecting classical guitar records trying to figure out what it is.
I come across a Segovia album ( 1975). I think “This guy, this old guy ( I’m 21), should know what guitar is.
I put his record on BWV 998 , Bouree, Jethro Tull!
I make the connection! I pick up the phone, sign up for guitar lessons, now I play. Not bad either. A couple of cd’s, some concerts, weddings, maybe not great. But Segovia! Mede me feel like I was great!
I play some of his fingerings, I’m ok.
He is the Master. I have studied with at least two of his students, not bragging, I’m not great. But man I feel a connection to one of the greatest musical forces on the planet. SEGOVIA! The greatest!
Excellent! All the best from Canada.
Great story, keep on playing!
Wonderful post! Great respect to you for your admiration of great artistry and for your charming modesty!
Some really dumb references here and that you, what ?, bought the Noad book hoping to be able to play like the non-classical-players you cite !! Quite convoluted..
Mark Harris , Yes, I did just that, convoluted though it may be.
After listening to him play a Bach Bourree (996 I think), I figured out that Jethro Tull was playing the same piece. So, I decided to cut out the middle man and move towards classical guitar. Music can make strange bedfellows I suppose, you never know which direction you may take when inspiration strikes. At 65 I still play 2-3 hours a day sometimes.
I play Bach’s first Cello Suite BWV 1007 in its entirety daily, 20 minuets or so. All Thanks to Segovia:)
Segovia..Absolutely one of the best of all time..
Earl Sullivan One of the best?
Esse vídeo dispensa qualquer comentário... Segovia no seu auge em alto e bom som com imagens... Muitíssimo obrigado por postar!
Eu pensei em digitar isso, juro cara!

Um mestre admirando outro
Segovia is the meaning of the guitar in deepest form and concept of his musicmanship it's so unique master of the master's
Just superb.
Such relaxation and maturity in his playing!
Ty !
Not just a MASTER a God...
such dedication to do what he did.
One and only grand master of the guitar.
amazing. thank you for sharing.
Maestro de maestros .... un gran músico ... sin palabras !!!
Great video. Many thanks for uploading it.
Magnífico.
Mestre Segóvia, salve!
The best EVER! An absolute legend
AMAZING!!! INCREDIBLE!!!
Maestro Magli me tiene asombrado con estas maravillas del maestro Segovia.Muchas gracias!!!!
Me revive el alma cuando lo escucho y confieso me incita a seguir estudiando a pesar de mis 66 años. Viva la guitarra(y la música 🎶).
So pure, so wonderful
the vibrato and portamento of Segovia is truly something to behold
Segovia's awe-inspiring guitar techniques !
@@DanieleMagli ♥️
Incredible footage, n great audio, thank you! Andre the Maestro hard at work, brilliant!
There are no words....
I love these old videos with great guitar masters :-) Thanks for share it
Segovia sets the standard. Absolutely loves the instrument and was meant to master it
Grazie!
GORGEOUS AND AMAZING
God of Guitar!
No sweating, no gnashing of teeth, no eyes bugging out, no hot dogging, no expressions at all , just a lumpy looking man that has totally become one with is instrument and the results are extraordinary . Segovia always looked like a guy who would be out of breath just from walking across a room but put a guitar in his hands and he runs circles around anyone on the planet.
If you look carefully, the muscles around his nose and his lips are just dancing, he is extremely under pressure not to deliver any visible (emotion) movement on his face: some consider that very stylish :)
Well said indeed. No plebeian exhibitionism from Segovia. His aristocratic, dignified comportment is the real reason why many of the slobs occupying today's classical guitar world dislike him. And just think: technically speaking, he's way past his prime here.
so the classical guitar world today consists of Slobs and Snobs? Just like our society really.,
Quite right, Eugenius. But, in accord with today's nearly universal diabolical disorientation, the slobs are snobbish about their slobbery. Such madness reminds one of today's universal chronological snobbery spawned by the myth of progress. Rarely is anyone met today who ISN'T both a snobbish slob and a chronological snob. The absurd tattoo phenomenon is part of this wretched slobbery, of course. Much more could be said.
Well spoken Jeremiah! Indeed are the modern slobs snobbish about their slobbery, as U so poetically surmise. That statement is" a gem of our modern world"! And the Absurd tattoo phenomenon: well, it speaks for itself really. Whilst in their minds they are beautifying the body, in reality it has made their bodies so hideously ugly! And they see this Ugliness as Beauty? Topsy Turvy world or what? Well at least Segovia was authentic in his beautiful music, which he chose and performed so admirably that even the classical music snobs could not but be impressed.
Absolutely perfect
Thank you for this great (and clean qualità) video! ❤️
I love all the right hand close ups in this. I’m always trying to wrap my head around how Segovia produced his tone. Even with flamenco style, he mastered the art of even sound and tone that just puts the listener at ease.
so perfect. he makes the strings sound like bells
Perfection!
People talking about missing this slide or note are missing the whole point of the wonderful artist!
Alot of them are kids or critics whom are jealous of his immaculate repertoire as a classical guitarist.
I mean, how dull do you have to be to point out a slight irregularity as if it were to disparage the entire piece? As an aspiring classical guitarist, the smallest human irregularity (i.e., not applying the exact pressure during a barre chord, or fretting a few mm above the fret causing slight buzz, or even playing robotically exact to avoid undesirable sounds) is very difficult to master and find balance; all doing this while playing polyphonic phrases makes it an Everest to conquer.
To me, I enjoy hearing the slight pops and clicks since it's an acoustic instrument that picks up the faintest of sounds. It's romantic, it's a beautiful instrument where it's most endearing quality is also it's strongest virtue, i.e., delicate, subdued, and vivacious. Creating emotional drama for the listener.
The more I learn about him the more I'm impressed with Alfred Hitchcock's many talents!
Segovia showed us the soul of the guitar ! xxxxxxx
Flawless..l
Simplesmente incrível!!!!!!!
.. es una deliciaaa .. gracias !!
Um dos maiores músicos da história. Imagens, som qualidade única, parabéns aos divulgadores dessa obra.
Lo máximo!!
A man, a player, a conductor and his orchestra... ...Much thanks Daniele for posting this ....
Simply, the guitar makes love to Segovia.
He was already 69 years old in 1962 (The maestro was born on 21 February 1893) and kept playing at this high level for so many years afterwords. Would that any among us could perfect our craft so beautifully and have so many years to share it with the world!
best of the best : Guitar Maestro
Il caposcuola assoluto ! Grazie di essere esistito
Magnificent ty :)
I didn't think anyone with fingers like sausages could move them with this agility.
This is my favourite video you've put up Daniele; Segovia in his pomp and sooo relaxed. Thank you for this treasure.
Merci Daniele
Gracias maestro porque existio en este mundo tenebroso usted fue una bella luz.
Quelle maîtrise un grand monsieur de la guitare classique inoubliable
só sei dizer uma palavra: bravo.
Andreas Segovia grandissimo maestro
Simplemente grande
¡¡¡El mejor!!!
Good stuff!
GRAZIE
I had the pleasure of shaking his hand after a concert in 1964 in Seattle (his wife was with him) at the Olympic hotel..... and also met him and attended his concert in Lausanne in 1972...accompanying him was Alirio Diaz. What beautiful tones and pauses he gets!
I shook his hand after a concert a Music Hall in Cincinnati in the 70s, and I remember it was very soft. There was something magical about seeing him play.
Pianistad clasicos
It's always a joy to come back to Segovia. Of all the guitarists I listen to, it is he who evokes most for me the arid Andalusian landscape.
"The song of the piano is a discourse,
The song of the cello is an elegy,
The song of the guitar is a song."
Allegro (Grand Solo) begins at 3:20. Thank you for finding and posting this. It is just beautiful to see the master at work in such a personal setting.
What a great video! Thanks so much for posting. As for the guitar...let’s face it, he could have played any old cigar box with 6 gut strings on it and still out perform everyone.
Andrés Segovia = El Maestro!!
Hi Kelly
Excelente🎉🎉🎉✨
Stunning...really well captured `one and only` Segovia sound. I definitely prefer the sound here to most of his CDs.
MAESTRO
Quando un'interpretazione rimane attuale anche dopo 70 anni vuol dire che si è difronte ad un "valore assoluto" ...
👍👍👍👍👍
Maestro
Non distingui il Maestro,non distingui la chitarra,
formano un corpo unico,solo sublime,fantastico.
Anche se stranamente le sue chitarre non erano fatte da maestri italiani.
Non fa niente,piace lo stesso.
Grazie Daniele Magli.
...e capirai, chitarre spagnole...
V?q ASSESSMENT
What sexy guitar playing 😍
It is alway a delightful to hear music, although I alway hear anti-Segovian comment from time to time, but there is alway magic in his music that other musician don’t have.
That’s sound quality is also exceptionally good, although the volume is a bit low.
esse só pode ser de outro planeta
Straordinario
Il più grande chitarrista classico di tutti i tempi. Straordinario.
The man, the sound, the classical guitar!
And to think that he gave this flawless performance, in his retirement age, when he was nearly 70 years old! Such superb technique will carry you for a lifetime.
Retire? That does not exist for musicians
@@sommerwood2920: makes you wonder what happened to Parkening. He quit the guitar to go fishing. Go figure.
@@michaelnagle8250 He's actually been teaching guitar at Pepperdine University for the past few decades; I'm not sure if he still does live concerts.
He's truly a genious. So much human and technically limited... But what incredible sounds he created
how could there be any negative comments on this? beautiful!
I don't like to define who is the best or the best performance, but i can say I feel no doubts in the way he plays.
Musically very lovely. The extreme efficiency of his right hand technique is remarkable. There are better players w/ left-hand technique, but I have never seen or heard anyone stroke the strings like Segovia. The tone is clear, consistent, and so very expressive.
I think his greatness comes more from the fact that he brought back to life, and had composers create, so much repertoire for classical guitar that we can ever be grateful enough. But he did have negative aspects that people, refuse to acknowledge?, due to the overwhelming achievements mentioned earlier. For instance, I couldn't think much of someone refusing to play Agustín Barrios' works because of professional jealousy (yes, they were contemporary). After watching this video and listening to other versions of HVL's first study played by Segovia, it is intended by him to make a small pause every time he switches chords, something not at all established on the original scores. That study was created to be continuous, from beginning to end, as a technique excercise rather than as an interpretation one. There's also a dispruption in the order of the harmonics in the last part. Barrueco's recording is more stuck to the intentions of the study. And yes, thank you Maestro for connecting us to Bach's music in such a strong way. But if we get a bit picky in analyzing the approach for interpreting Bach's works based on how they were originally written, Segovia could have serious misconceptions for some of them. I apologise if this seems too negative for such an amazing video that this is, but I stick to my initial premise. His biggest achievement was keeping the door open wide for us to listen to Classical Guitar in times when the elite not only wanted it closed, but also locked.
I was an student from a student of a student from Segovia.
So you´ve a straight academic link with Tárrega, congratulations.
So was I! Who were the two people between you and Segovia?
@@tomphillips6743 My Dutch teacher studied with Antonio Pereira Arias, student of Segovia.
I see. Mine studied with Eliot Fisk.
me too
Interesting to watch Segovia's right hand: how often it moves from a more bridge-oriented position to one closer to the sound hole. He adopts the former position to simulate a more pungent, harpsichord, style. Bringing out the different colors of the guitar was always uppermost in Segovia's aesthetic.
The Ponce "Gavotte" was originally foisted upon the public as a work by Domenico Scarlatti. This ruse worked for years (it was instigated by Segovia's request to Manuel Ponce) but poor Ponce couldn't collect a dime of royalties for his effort (for obvious reasons). Ponce had a real gift for imitating different composers from various eras, e.g., his "Sonata Romantica" as a tribute to Franz Schubert.
Wow. He was old in 1962
el mas grande .artista de la guitarra
nice
Oh can I just "like" twice please!
Cette incroyable beauté, et pendant l'espagne francoiste.
"The guitar of the epoch"...Segovia's Hauser sounds great! Him playing it doesn't hurt either!
Segovia brought pure voices to his guitar performances.
As a student my notes kind of plunked a way sometimes.there was various voices.
Seeing Segovia play live influenced my playing if not just trying to play one piece really well. Which was Sanz’s “Spanish Dance”
It was a challenge to give Spanish Dance it’s voices but thinking of Segovia helped.
But ALL IN THE SAME YEAR very odd things were happening - For a mid 70s Segovia concert I got sixth row center at the Kennedy Center DC (last minute) - I went into a music store for Sor Studies and came out with an audition date with Sophocles Papas.
Finally, ALSO in the same year, the ULTIMATE oddity was practice “Spanish Dance” out in a hollow in the woods and finding three chipmunks on fresh cut tree stumps listening to me.
Before I realized the “small” audience had gathered i felt a rush that I wasn’t “plunking” but giving voices to my guitar.
I was nailing it.
Then when I looked up to see three little guys - no doubt a performance of a life time.
Cool, Beatles did Love Me Do that year.
Does anyone know which guitar he is playing? Is it the Hauser, the Fleta, or some other maker? Thank you.
Hauser 1937
@@veetguitar Thank you.
