When I was a kid my friends who played all wanted to be Jimi Page. I wanted to be Segovia. When I first started playing my dad brought home a double album called The Ten Masters of the Guitar and when I heard Segovia doing Malaguena I was blown away. I wanted to be able to play like that so badly. This clip shoes just how effortless he made it look. A true master for the ages.
Pardon the type-o I can so relate to your comment. I had my brother Victor who was the best friend I had guiding me . He would then teach me what I needed by feelings what grabbed my heart. He could envision what I would have to learn by truly feeling what he heard me try to do with a guitar. We lived Segovia,Montoya and Nono00
Pardon the typos. I had my brother Victor he couldn't see what I needed to learn by hearing what I was trying to play so he taught me what do with my right hand I was six and he led the way to Segovia Montoya and Nino Dela Cante
I am so glad that I got to take a few lessons with one of his best students. His name was Andrej Metsnakov (idk how to spell his last name not gonna lie). He came hear feom the Ukraine YEARS ago and taught in Mansfield, Ohio for awhile. He had many pictures of him from childhood all the way to adulthood doing lessons with Andres Segovia.
Pour moi Barrios est supérieure par ses composition en plus le Paganini de la guitare, mais merci a Segovia d avoir donné un titre de noblesse pour la guitare
His changes of color and articulation are unmatched. Even more incredible is how he is able to superimpose secco and legato on top of each other. Most modern guitarists cannot switch so fluidly, or so tastefully.
Andrés Segovia (EPD) fue sin dudas el padre de la guitarra española actual. La interpretación que escuchamos es del arreglo y transcripción de Fernado Sor, que según la presentación Segovia la grabó en el año 1954. Esta grabación es una verdadera obra de arte al estilo del Maestro. Muchas gracias.
One of the thing about Segovia is that he is instantly recognizable regardless of whether he was playing a Hauser or Ramirez. Though very different instruments (both wonderful), the sound was truly created in his musical understanding or vision of what it could be, his technique and an artistic soul
Muito obrigado muito inspirador pois, foi pioneiro em um estilo e modalidade e de grande dificuldade, deixando um legado para nós expirarmos. Tenho a ousadia de fazer uma analogia comparando seu legado ao de grandes matemáticos, físicos e alquimistas que foram desbravadores deixando as fórmulas já prontas bastando somente nos aprendermos e mesmo assim muitas vezes não damos conta. São verdadeiros gênios
this is one of the rare miracles committed to tape. for anyone who wishes to better understand the melancholy Spanish soul, I can make no better recommendation than the essay on Duende by the great and extraordinary poet Lorca
He had a son in his late 70s like Anthony Quinn. They were latin plus their generation had millions of semen cells more than we do now. No pollution or chemicals and no UA-cam.
This is, after Segovia's all Bach programme, my favorite music. What I like in Segovia is that there is no embellishment, even in his baroque pieces they are very sober, laconic almost.
@@Tradori321 si si e lo vedi dal fatto che il video era preparato e un po' sfalsato oltre che a quell'epoca nn ottenevi quell audio se nn avevi un microfonone davanti.... l'avevo letto che nn suonava realmente.... probabilmente l'unica volta che lo ha fatto
@@jak9990 Er spielt nach meiner Kenntnis die Einleitung auf keiner seiner Plattenaufnahmen. Das verlangt meines Erachtens schon nach einer Erklärung. Ich akzeptiere aber auch, wenn es jemandem egal ist.
I suspect they asked Segovia how much it would cost for him to play the entire piece, then asked him to play it without the introduction or any of the repeating passages. That's the only way they could afford him, and it cut the time of the performance in half. Which is a shame, because Sor put repeating sections in many of the variations with the intention of allowing the performer to introduce his or her own diversity of interpretation each time a segment was repeated. Never mind. It's all over and done with pretty quickly by Segovia in this video.... I wish he'd spent less time talking and more time playing the piece as it is actually scored. He's a much better player than a talker.
senza nulla togliere alla grandezza del personaggio, a livello di esecuzione l'ho trovata davvero poco pulita, con diverse imprecisioni, mi pare abbastanza oggettivo, al netto della qualità dell'audio. probabilmente oggi siamo abituati a livelli di pulizia del suono e di precisione dell'esecuzione molto al di sopra, sono l'unico a pensarla così?
@@pjme3426 No. Ma questo è del tutto irrilevante. Quanto lo sarebbe se lei mi domandasse se io sia vegetariano o meno, oppure induista o musulmano. È completamente inconferente la sua domanda. Infatti, io ho risposto a tutt'altra questione. Gliela ricordo: lei domandava se fosse il solo a pensarla come lei sul brano del video. E dato che nessuno, almeno così mi pare, ha detto di concordare con lei in circa un anno, presumo che effettivamente sia il solo. Tutto qua. Non serve essere chitarristi, anzi non c'entra niente. Si tratta di logica. Saluti.
Come esecuzione è inconfondibile, nello stile, nella tecnica. Che oggi i grandi interpreti siano più puliti e precisi è cosa evidentissima, e direi ancora più evidente la discutibilità di certi aspetti tecnici come i glissati continui, i portamenti, anche una certa incoerenza metrica. Nessun interprete oggi suonerebbe in questo modo. Del resto al tempo di Segovia non esisteva, almeno per la chitarra, l'idea della fedeltà allo stile dell'epoca, e così Segovia suonava tutto secondo il suo stile che fosse Mudarra, Milan, Bach, Sor, Giuliani o Castelnuovo Tedesco! E questo non toglie assolutamente nulla alla grandezza e importanza di Segovia. Per inciso, persino il suo modo di tenere la chitarra e la posizione della mano destra oggi è abbandonato, basta dare un'occhiata agli interpreti della generazione di Russell, e ancora sono diverse le chitarre da concerto e sono migliorate tantissimo le corde.

Magistral ejecución del más eximio guitarrista del Siglo XX, y aún no superado...
The tone….the tone….the tone….If only I could play like that, the style is of an era , but the emotion and the tone….thank you Maestro…
A lot of the warmth and fuzzyness you hear is from the compression of the recording.

Sorry but I was pretty out of it last night I really appreciate your comments though
Segovia has no equal ! The sound he made , will echo in the ears of guitarists for eternity !
It echoes half as long as it should, because they had him talking too much and cutting out all the repeating passages in the work. Which is a pity.

His interpretation is so fluid. There is no better.
Tengo un disco de su primera edición
UN MONSTRUO DE LA GUITAR, EL MAS GRANDE

Been playing this song since I was a child. I love the song and Segovia. I have never seen this it’s awesome.
Fantastic grandmaster! Thank U.
Thanks maestro ! Thanks for you art🙂🙂🙂
Grande ! Segovia Inarrivabile ,
Es hermoso escuchar cada acordé de este Maestro eterno

I never imagined reaching at this peak of my musical interest. I am watching the pioneer and evolutionary guitar player in history.
The Segovia magic is at work here, for sure.
Magistral!!!

Gracias por compartir
Merveilleux de voir et d'écouter ce grand maître !
Yep...some people don't "learn" to play music - they "remember" how to play it... fascinating stuff 🔥

4:40 Como amo ese cambio de color en el sonido y lo mejor fue su cara al final 4:49 como si nada después de tocar magistralmente.
De 50s (especially) and 60s the golden era of Segovia recordings
Segovia and sor, simply wonderful
Thanks my first like ever
It doesn’t get any better than the Maestro.
beautiful!👍👍👍
Maestro de maestros
Fernando rocks.
Excelente 👏👏👏
Brilliant!!!
Waouh Super j adore
Tons of talent, the best guitar ever made (now in a museum). Oh, and he practiced 4 to 6 hours a day. There is that.
I saw his Hauser in the MET while in NY
Unfuckingbelivable
THE EXCLUSIVE SAVANT of classical guitar
Impressionante, como tocar com tanta facilidade!?
Thank you for posting this historic recording.
I wonder why there is no recording of the first movement of the piece.
@@BluntofHwicce Thanks again for this information.
@@rmlevyPhD originally, the manuscript for the introduction wasn't found or something of the sort until recently, Edson Lopes doesn't play it either.
Imagine just being fortunate enough to be the cameraman on that day, Wow!
The Best!
Segovia was born holding a guitar
Aqui no hay ediciones de sonido, es tal como suena el artista y la guitarra. se escucha a Andres segovia y se sabe que es el..
Guitar Wizardry. Say what they will about Segovia but his playing will never be overrated.
I agree. The elegance and control is unbelievable.
Браво, Маэстро!
😮❤
Ualll Fantastic
Sencillamente espectacular interpretación con una dulzura que cautiva.
Segovia is in a different class far above any contemporary guitarist I've ever heard....he has no equal
Tim Henson wishes he could play like this bro 🎸
Absolutely…unfortunately it seems like a lot of people go no further than someone like David Russell…
this is one of the rare miracles committed to tape. for anyone who wishes to better understand the melancholy Spanish soul, I can make no better recommendation than the essay on Duende by the great and extraordinary poet Lorca
역시 세고비아 선생 최고
세고비아의 퍼포먼스는 환상적입니다. 세고비아가 최고입니다.
You born to music
You are a real Master
You are The most, the only most, the super most, guitar player
Bach on guitar andres segovia
Ma version préférée est celle jouée par Denis Azabagic
that was why segoiva rules and he had a son when he was 65 and performing when he was 90.
He had a son in his late 70s like Anthony Quinn. They were
latin plus their generation had

No they aren't, he even uses glissandos in his baroque pieces.
No comment!!!!!!!
Ma qui suonava in playback? Questo era un film documentario se nn sbaglio
Segovia che suona in playback...ma stai bene?

Yo también quiero tocar así loco
How could he learn to play when before he wasn't even born yet.? Who is this guy?
5 dislikes? 5 soulless people.
Warum spielt er denn die Einleitung nicht mit? Why doesn`t he play the introduction?
Taschentuch gefällig?
@@jak9990 Nicht nötig, aber die Einleitung gehört nun mal zu dem Stück.
@@carlcremer371 komm runter. Der hat hier ja nicht voll konzertiert.
Vorspiel kann auch weg gelassen werden.

Das ist ja so als ob auf einem Album das Lied fehlt.
Oke, das nervt. Bin ganz bei dir.
Jimmy Walker like’s Segovia 😀
After hearing other guitarists play this piece I would come here to hear Segovia. He's way above all others.
Nadie como Segovia.
Tim Henson I’m the best 😮 watches Segovia I was wrong 😂 🎸
Kind of wish I could hear this on a Les Paul with a Marshall stack... 😅
Segovia is a "Guitarists" Guitarist.
You’re on the wrong path as a guitarist if you’re not wondering how on earth you could ever produce a sound like Segovia….
Wiw@.

They didn't find the introduction until later ;)

Segovia is the greatest guitarist in history. He has the best interpretations of the works of F. Tarrega, J.S Bach ETC.
Penso di sì.

Ultimate insult to this instrument is to compare this SAVANT to anyone
Ok ok, he was an excellent musician. We can agree on that. But he deserves to be criticized for the arrogant statements about other musicians, other styles of guitar, and even for supporting Franco. The last one isn’t music related. But I am just saying that Segovia shouldn’t be like some saint of guitar music.
Franco was a hero figthing communism and made Spain a safe and prosperous country.
