Una belleza. Esta musica nos transporta a la esencia de lo que somos
His tempo with No.5 is just about perfect, I think. It's often played too fast. It's nice to hear a guitarist of his caliber play these "easy" piece.
oldwhtman they are not easy , easy to play badly .
How many guitar players does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Ten--one guy to screw it in, and nine others to stand around saying, "I can do that".
I think the comments about Mr. Williams using nails needs to be clarified. Players like him do indeed use not only the nails but also the fleshy part of the finger. I am sure he has a wide variety as far as producing different tone colors on the strings. To just insist that it is nails versus no nails is battle that nobody is concerned about fighting over. In this age we can afford to be more open to creative experiences on the guitar.
5:18 I fall in love with that song (?) every single time. --I don't know that much about music, but these, I just love them
The video is titled "Studies from 1 to 5", but this is not the real name of the pieces. This numbering, is according to Segovia's collection. Segovia chose 20 studies and fingered them.
Thanks for the post, and thanks for those who gave the real titles (numbering) of the pieces
How do you get an electric guitarist to turn his volume down?
Hand him some sheet music to read.
ratface111 eh, i can read sheet music. I just cannot sight read for shit. This is still so true though lmao
Music dyslexia sorries
How do you get a classical guitarist to put down his guitar? Ask him to create a song.
(*˘︶˘*).｡.:*♡素晴らしい動画をありがとうございます🙏素晴らしい演奏をありがとうございます。😍😍😍ステキ～💕。
Brings back memories. I still remember listening to that old record "20 Studies for guitar" as a young kid. Dad was a big admirer of JW. Also remembered how dad would get frustrated in some areas when playing from the Segovia book. Sometimes he cant get the left hand fingerings right & other times when he does, the plucked sound doesnt come out too good.
That description of Williams brought a smile to my dreary work morning face
89Redge My pleasure :)
from Jose Sepulveda, the Hermeterec.......I humbly submit that John Williams is the greatest of all of Segovia's students, but that Segovia did make him great. John Williams was born to greatness on the instrument, invested with that remarkable talent from birth and inclined to develop it, to nurture and refine it. Segovia did not make John Williams the genius he is, God did.
john williams hated how he sounded here;he sued sony to prevent these pieces from coming out on cd.(thats why they are only on lp and cassette)
@@nancynichols8659 no way! I wondered why this lp wasn’t in the ‘complete’ JW cd collection. That’s typical negatively aspected Taurus control freak behaviour. His fans deserve to have a record of his progress. What will he do next . . try to abolish all his Fleta guitar recordings?
P.S. How many lesbians does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Ten--one to screw it in and nine others to strum guitars and write folk songs about it.
from Jose' Timo Sepulveda.......far be it from me to criticize the mighty John Williams......he is far better than I am.....and I mean FAR....but he plays study #2 far too fast. It loses its color and, I am sure, totally subsumes the composer's intention.
Yes, they sound as though they wrote themselves - but someone had to be there to commit them to paper. Sor did a great job, and left guitarists a wonderful legacy.
Equally; how many guitarists does it take to play a chord?
1 and 9 to say he's doing it wrong. So 10. lol.
5:18 for number 5
I play study 1 better
Funny this stops at #5. When I was a kid taking lessos, #5 is as far as I got in the book. My teacher never played #6 or beyond, so I never got to hear how the rest of them sound. I'm sure I'll find it here on UA-cam, though.
They're Op. 6, No. 2 in A major (Segovia's No. 3) and Op. 6, No. 1 in D major (Segovia's No. 4), Richard. Texturally they're obviously related (with chords on the offbeats), albeit with the melody in the treble (A major) and bass (D major) respectively.
5:18 opus 35 no22 in b minor. Really easy to play but sounds divine
It's actually quite a beautiful tone...Not that it couldn't be improved upon, but 'really bad' it just is not
So BEAUTIFUL ! ! ! Thank you for posting !
One early Williams recording (pre-Columbia Records) that I'm hoping to find reissued on CD someday is the Torroba and Ponce recital, which features the Torroba Sonatina, and Ponce preludes among some of the works from that LP.
superb stuff. beautifully played. love the production no excessive reverb like I find more resent classical recordings have. What Opus is this? I recognise no 5 from the Segovia studies. Thanks so Much Mojo Risin for posting this. Once again I am very grateful that you share these beautifully played pieces.
+Guitar for Occasions my pleasure!
Opus 6, No. 8, Opus 35, No 13, Opus 6, No 2, Opus 6 No 1, Opus 35, No 22
Why don't you post a video of yourself playing so we can all hear the wonderful tone you bring out of your guitar?
Amazing description.
hehe thanks for enjoying :)
Simón Prêcheur Llarena
ooo, vinyl...
alguien sabe el opus que es?
sad but beautiful, wonderful music, as how I love it!
I love Sor
I haven't seen anything about the transcriptions of these, hey are, of course Segovia's: renumbered, renamed, re-fingered and changed to suit Segovia.
thank you
are you sure this is john williams and not an imposter sounds awfull
As has been said this was recorded when John Williams was 17 or 18 Yrs old, i.e. a long time ago and there is no doubt that this is him playing. Even if you have a guitar this old guitar strings have changed a lot over the last 50 Yrs and so therefore has the tone of guitars. We are now used to the brighter and more “metallic” and stronger tone we hear on modern recordings. Also some of the brightness of the original record may have been lost in the transcription. I think that the performance is elegant and very “correct” so perhaps not as expressive as some may wish for today.
Esto es una ofensa para el gran Sors ,que era enemigo de las estridencias que dan el toque con uñas.El tocaba solo con yema.Su música es tan espiritual que merece otro tipo de interpretación.
También es por eso que mi maestro solía describir a Williams como el Anticristo de la guitarra.
I have this LP from I think 1963, I have not heard it for many years because I don't have a turn table, but I am kind of surprised it's not as good as I remember, in fact his tone his rather poor, this is just more evidence he's a brand.......!
Many thanks for uploading this 'no longer available' recording. I haven't heard JW play these for years and I use to love this album when I was a student but I thought I might be a bit disappointed now but far from it, they are as well judged and inspiring as ever.
My pleasure! I noticed with alarm that this LP was not included in the 'complete JW' CD collection released last year. Just as well I posted them, it would be tragic never to hear JW play these again. This music played so brightly deserves to be a public resource.
@anadini, Yes, this is really John Williams. But keep in mind that this recording must be 45 years old. I owned this record too. I bought it shortly after I started playing guitar. John Williams was still a teenager, I think, when this was done. If it wasn't his first record, it one of the first. Not only has his technique and musicality matured since then, recording has gotten much better. Since coolrocknroll still has the record, maybe he can look at the copyright and verify it's age.
Which tuning is he using? Not a440 definitely
I tried playing along and realized that we're not on the same tuning.
+Federico Linos try 415 or 430
+JKDMan2000 Thanks, I'll try that.
lemme know if that works out
+JKDMan2000 I've been trying different frequencies, it's somewhere close to 442
I think he may be tuned up 1/2 step.
@WBCurnutte: This might be from his fifth record released in '63 entitled "Twenty Studies for Guitar". He would have been 22 at the time.
Check out the Maestro playing these pieces. Segovia plays No. 5 almost like a prelude. Total mastery of a simple etude. The Eric Henderson version is epic too. I wish there were a John Williams version for his later years. Williams has gone from very good , as a young man , to greatness in recent years.
1956 Ignacio Fleta guitar. I wish he had recorded the Aguado method etudes which he also played along with the Sor. Yes, Alirio Diaz was a big influence when Segovia was not around in Sienna. p.s. Mojorisin, can you post the early Bach 4th Lute Suite from CBS presents John WIlliams. Not the 1975 on the 72' Fleta but the 1960's version on the 61' Fleta! I notice you posted both Prelude Fugue and Allegros from 64' and 75' THanks!
El Dios australiano de la guitarra 👍
hi dose any know what opus and number this no 3 in this record is?.
Richard
Williams isn't my #1 performer either, but this recordings are acutally good, I've heard some flaws on his Barrios album but this one seems all good.
I do not recognize the Williams touch, soft and VERY clean, are you sure about the performer?
Not sure if it is or not, but remember that this would be his first album, done when he was 17, I believe.
I have two guitars, and enjoy playing them - for self enjoyment over anything else. I stumbled across Fernando's studies years ago and immediately fell in love with a couple of them... but have never found (nor did I ever look very hard) until now all of them recorded, together, and played eloquently. THANK YOU for sharing this beautiful music!!! ~

Hello 2020
i can do that! too
Definitely a necessary follow-up from Carulli's preludes
Por que tiene propagandas si no tiene derecho de autor?
Hey, That's good info. I'm probably going to buy the book. I still have my old book, I think it's from the 1960's. It's full of my notes in my bad handwriting. I think I could use a fresh book Thanks!
Me too! Still have my book from the 60's when I was taking guitar lessons.
beatiful
and ofkorse no 4 who sound cornected to no 3
how can soullessSilence even have a tone?
i like 17 a lot, very lyrical and beautiful song
2.27 amateur performance
You bring back my old memories..
But came back to say I love Williams more :D.
Here for number 5
the mozart of guitar.
excellent, thanks for sharing!
Good vintage album post..rare. Enjoyed.
Great recording of these pieces!
I prefer segovia
Beautiful
Beautiful
Just a response to 31041955. I agree that it's certainly not as good as later recordings he did of the guitar repertoire. I can tell you, however, that he was only 19 years old when he recorded these studies. The guitar is probably not a Fleta which he used for many years. But! This recording shows the bridge in his virtuosity
between the 2 LP's he made when he was only 17 years old. I personally think that Alirio Diaz was the major influence in the way he played after these 2 early recordings.
Best regards
I play guitar and I am only 12 hope you listen to me playing
Never was much a fan of Yepes. Thanks bro for waking me up!!
Hey... you stole my term "Molten Metal"! That ws what I named the first CD I ever burned on my first computer. :/
haha sorry! appropriately named first CD - does it still play ok?
It never did, I bought a lemon of a computer! Some CD's would burn perfect but most of them had issues.
Really bad tone.
