Maestro Segovia played an important role in saving the guitar from going to obscurity. The guitar was notable in bars saloons and bordellos.He had transcribed the music from great composers and with his determination and exquisite sound..the guitar took a new place in the evolution of musical history. It was not an easy feat to do what he did through his perseverance talent we owe a lot of gratitude to him for the love the guitar and classical music.Bravo Segovia.
We’re all forgetting the kindness of Daniele Magali who has not refrained to share with us the treasures in his possessions. Almost everything I have been able to find on you tube regarding Segovia during these time periods come from him. A lot of great companies who bring the finest modern guitar players sollicit and rightly so a contribution. How could we think Magli in our ways? I am not sure. Just throwing there. Thank you so much Daniele for your great contribution !!!
I saw Segovia perform in Birmingham, AL in 1968 o. My 17th birthday. He was glorious! Sitting in the 3rd row, I could easily see the moment of his fingers as thry flashed across strings and frets. It was an experience I have never forgotten. Thanks, Dad. Segovia is the greatest guitarist I've ever heard.
Me too , along with my to be wife. We still talk about him now. Thank you Birmingham Town Hall for bringing us a plethora of wonderful artist over those years.
I am in the states ( Indiana). I was a student at Notre Dame University between 1958 and 1962. Segovia came to our campus, and I was fortunate enough to hear him perform. Even after more than 60 years I remember his performance. He is one of the great artist of all times.
I'm very pleased to see overwhelmingly positive comments about Segovia under videos about him. I remember when I was starting my classical guitar journey, well over 15 years ago, the opinions about Segovia seemed much more divided. I'm happy to see people widely admiring and appreciating what he did for the instrument. I see him as being by far the most important figure in classical guitar history and an inspiration to all great masters and us all, lesser players.
Agreed, he did help along with a short list of others to elevate the guitar and build a repertoire around it. But at some point, maybe in the 1980s or 1990s there was a push towards mechanics. I remember a guitar teacher telling me that my fingers has to sound like a little machine gun. Technique is important but a communication should be the goal.
Many people don't realize the importance of the Maestro in the guitar world. The guitar was extremely popular in Germany, which was the main place in the world for classical music. Spain and Italy were competing to attract the attention of Germany as the country to court, Italy won with their operas. After WW2, God rest the souls who perished, Segovia had been transported to Uruguay and was something of a last remaining remnant of what was known as "The Bavarian Guitar Movement", even though his heritage is 100% Spanish, he was an European, and a great one. If this is 1966 then it is at a time when psychedelic music is beginning to gain in popularity, which basically got elevated above and beyond what Segovia was playing. Obviously, the Maestro is classes beyond the popular culture movement of the time, but his intensity, grace and benevolence are enduring and many, many people now flock to watch his brilliance on every known device the world over. With his delightful heart felt charm he is always inspiring and will always be the Maestro without need to be elevated, as the elevation from his touches within his playing are evidence enough that as God touched into his heart with the guitar, so he conveys what God's touch is and how it manifests in the physical world! Bravo, Bravo, Bravo... Clap, clap, clap :)))
Looks and sounds like he is playing a Ramirez and not his beloved Hauser, which would date this concert after 1966 ! It doesn't really matter; Segovia would sound amazing on any reasonable quality guitar. Thanks for posting this Red. I used to play some of the earlier pieces as a teenager (and beyond) but never sounded like the Maestro. My consolation is that no-one else did either. Now, at seventy years of age, I can't play anything except the fool.
Lui era un vero bardo, davvero, mi incanta sentirlo suonare era troppo bravo. in pochi arrivano a questo livello sublime di espressività con lo strumento
There is a beautiful story behind this performance / interpretation of Prelude n. 3 and of the Studio n. 1 of Heitor Villa Lobos. After about thirty years, Segovia spreads with a concert reported by Italian television the work of a Composer who, in 1956, the date of the concert, I believe was not yet well known. The beauty is that, according to what has been handed down, Segovia was not happy with the first meeting with that almost contemporary Composer (almost four years older than him), who, piqued by some criticisms by Segovia, almost snatched from the hands of Segovia his precious guitar of which the Maestro was very jealous, and he performed various pieces of his own composition. Segovia was impressed by the exhibition, so asked him the name of his guitar Maestro. Villa Lobos answered that he had studied the best guitar manuals, but he not had had a teacher. Segovia then went away, somewhat annoyed. The next day, Villa Lobos received Segovia at home, who, after sleeping on it, had gone to see him and, convinced of the Composer's genius, Segovia asked him to compose a Study for guitar and dedicate it to him. Villa Lobos dedicated twelve guitar Studio. And here Segovia performs just the first of them. Villa Lobos will then become the greatest Brazilian composer, the number one: today the entire repertoire of this Genius of Music is studied in guitar Conservatories all over the world, as the cognitive content of every guitar player.
For a more factual account of Segovia's thoughts about Villa Lobo's works I recommend reading "Don Andres and Paquita-The Life of Segovia in Montevideo" and the "Segovia Ponce Letters'. While the above "story" may be "beautiful'" , it's not correct. Villa Lobos was a highly acclaimed and famous composer for 20 years before meeting Segovia, which is one of the reasons Segovia sought him out. Villa Lobos is credited with over 2,000 compositions to include concertos for piano, harp and cello--symphonies, chamber music, string quartets, and operas. His guitar works are about 35, which is a pittance compared to his works for other instruments. Villa Lobo's guitar works only made him famous with classical guitarists and would still be famous without his guitar compositions. Yes, Classical guitarists study and revere Villa Lobo's preludes, etudes, a choro and his Suite Populaire Bresilienne (which Segovia never recorded), and play them ad nauseum. It's a shame classical guitarists hardly bother listening to his other 1,500+ works. I would suggest the quartet for flute, oboe, clarinet, and bassoon written in 1928 for starters.
@@xpursangjock8724 I listen to the string quartets, they are just crazy enough to turn me on! lol I have an arrangement of Sentimental Melody I’d like to work up Someday....
@@MrDizzyvonclutch Interesting! Do it! Yes, "crazy enough"! Carlos Barbosa Lima plays a guitar solo of Villa Lobos' Sentimental Melody, nice tune, which he masterfully played. Some of Villa Lobos works though are rather too "unique" for my taste. His Trio for Oboe, Clarinet and Bassoon come to mind, which is about 20 minutes of music I just don't get. It sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock movie score or something. But hey, that's just me. I can't stand Britten's Nocturnal either. I could care less what the pointy headed academics say about it.
I'm 65 years old. When I was only six, my parents took me to a Segovia performance in Philadelphia. I still remember it-the pieces played, what he wore, everything. The experience has had a huge positive impact on me and made the classical guitar a huge part of my life.

I understand that it is not compulsory that classical guitar music should be liked, but from here to talk about boredom and nausea ... what a lack of spirit! It is a question of sensitivity, of culture: if they are lacking and if there is none, it is better to be silent and seem stupid than to talk and remove the doubt. And, speaking of culture, apart from the criticisms that, perhaps with too little generosity, you have addressed to my enthusiasm for a small part of HVL's work, I am instead happy to have found in many Japanese young people a great interest in classical guitar and the works dedicated to it, with an audience of guitarists of excellent quality and sensitivity towards this instrument, and many prestigious self-taught luthiers who in those lands have brought the production of classical guitars to a level of world excellence. And this incredible interest in Western and Latin American music on the part of Japanese culture, developed over the centuries on musical canons absolutely unmatched with others, is truly commendable, also and above all because it has been recorded for a few decades. This is why in the face of so much enthusiasm, one has the opportunity to forgive perhaps contemptuous judgments, more realistic than the king. ~~~~~~~ (*): ~ Wikipedia, HVL; ~ www.naxos.com/mainsite/blurbs_reviews.asp?item_code=8.573116&catNum=573116&filetype=About%20this%20Recording&language=Italian ~ www.naxos.com/mainsite/blurbs_reviews.asp?item_code=8.573117&catNum=573117&filetype=About%20this%20Recording&language=Italian ~ bibliolmc.ntv31.com/node/148 (**): Enciclopedia Treccani, HVL;

To understand Segovia, be it his playing style or personality, it's important to understand what he referred to as his "Four Goals". In his own words, ''First, to redeem the guitar from flamenco and all those other things. Second, to create a repertory - you know that almost all the good composers of our time have written works for the guitar through me and even for my pupils. Third, I wanted to create a public for the guitar. Now, I fill the biggest halls in all the countries, and at least a third of the audience is young - I am very glad to steal them from the Beatles. Fourth, I was determined to win the guitar a respected place in the great music schools along with the piano, the violin and other concert instruments.''
But very much still in his prime, it wouldn't until be much later that we knew he was falling still he would surprise us with his expression. 1976 Christopher Nupen captured so much for us.
La musique pour plus d'humanité .Quand deux pays se font la guerre c'est par ignorance de leur culture respective. Un grand interprète est un passeur de paix . Au milieu des ruines il faut que l'ame survive , une guitare peut aider à cela .
The date of video recording of 1956 cannot be correct. Based on Segovia’s year of birth 1893 he must have been 63 at the time of this recording. He looks at least 73 in this video ! Anyway he is Guitar and Guitar is Segovia. I don’t think anyone can ever feels and plays guitar like him.
I think he's miming, it's really Chuck Berry behind the curtain. I had the pleasure of attending one of Maestro's performances. He broke a string and everyone gasped. He made a quelling gesture with his hands and we all got a lesson in how the boss does a quick string change (about 4 minutes).
I don't think this is 1956. He is playing a Ramirez 1a which he did not play until the early 1960's. In 1956 he probably would have played a Hauser guitar.
Es un maestro, pa igualarle se inventaron las guitarras eléctricas y mesas de mezclas, puede parecer laud, piano, arpa, y aveces percusión, todo. Pero Andrés siempre lo veo igual ya mayor, siempre igual. 😊
The name (in italian) is "Vaghe bellezze e bionde trecce d'oro", and there is on UA-cam a performance of this piece by the italian guitarist Mario Gangi. Search for "mario gangi vaghe bellezze".
Non mi ero accorto che probabilmente sei italiano e avrei potuto evitare di commettere errori in inglese. Però può servire a qualche non-italiano-parlante 🙂
Excellent performance but this is certainly not 1956. He’s playing a long scale a Ramirez that didn’t even exist until 1961. I would estimate this to be 1962-1964.
There is Segovia then there's everyone else. The planet is better for him having been here

Perhaps in doing so, it will not disappear again ... 《I understand that Villa Lobos was interested in being presented in Segovia, *. The studies and preludes for guitar of HVL are not studied for a particular musical beauty, but for the extraordinary ability to enhance and innovate the musical characteristics of the classical guitar, the beauty of the vibrato, the complexity of the arpeggios, Studies of scales in very rare tones. to be performed on the guitar: a knowledge, therefore, which in every part of the world is considered fundamental for the formation of a class guitarist. Nor is it true that guitarists are not interested in the other works of HVL, quoted in about 1,300 pieces **. In the little that I know, I know of guitar transcriptions of lullabies (Nesta rua tem um bosque), songs (Tristorosa), solo guitar reductions of an accompaniment work to an opera for soprano, orchestra and eight cellos (Bachiana Brasileira no. 5). work to an opera for soprano, orchestra and eight cellos (Bachiana Brasileira no. 5).
I understand that it is not compulsory that classical guitar music should be liked, but from here to talk about boredom and nausea ... what a lack of spirit!
It is a question of sensitivity, of culture: if they are lacking and if there is none, it is better to be silent and seem stupid than to talk and remove the doubt.
And, speaking of culture, apart from the criticisms that, perhaps with too little generosity, you have addressed to my enthusiasm for a small part of HVL's work, I am instead happy to have found in many Japanese young people a great interest in classical guitar and the works dedicated to it, with an audience of guitarists of excellent quality and sensitivity towards this instrument, and many prestigious self-taught luthiers who in those lands have brought the production of classical guitars to a level of world excellence. And this incredible interest in Western and Latin American music on the part of Japanese culture, developed over the centuries on musical canons absolutely unmatched with others, is truly commendable, also and above all because it has been recorded for a few decades. This is why in the face of so much enthusiasm, one has the opportunity to forgive perhaps contemptuous judgments, more realistic than the king. ~~~~~~~

Has anyone noticed the efficiency of his hand and finger movements? They rarely jump all over the fingerboard like a spider doing a Scottish jig.
Bravo
and on the Ed Sullivan show Elvis was moving music in an entirely different direction, what a time the mid 20th century was!
Muito bom
I had a custom 62 Ramirez made for him and it was difficult to play, I guess you had to have perfect technique. I sold it to a student in Christopher Parkening's master class

The Guitar 🎸
To understand Segovia, be it his playing style or personality, it's important to understand what he referred to as his "Four Goals". In his own words, ''First, to redeem the guitar from flamenco and all those other things. Second, to create a repertory - you know that almost all the good composers of our time have written works for the guitar through me and even for my pupils. Third, I wanted to create a public for the guitar. Now, I fill the biggest halls in all the countries, and at least a third of the audience is young - I am very glad to steal them from the Beatles. Fourth, I was determined to win the guitar a respected place in the great music schools along with the piano, the violin and other concert instruments.''
Однажды я услышал что мастер не бзыкает по струнам , теперь же бзыканье вносит свою нитку.😁👍
very nice

He was already an old man by 1956.
But very much still in his prime, it wouldn't until be much later that we knew he was falling still he would surprise us with his expression. 1976 Christopher Nupen captured so much for us.
La musique pour plus d'humanité .Quand deux pays se font la guerre c'est par ignorance de leur culture respective.
Un grand interprète est un passeur de paix .
Au milieu des ruines il faut que l'ame survive , une guitare peut aider à cela .
Was the guitar tuned down a half step, or is that an artefact of cleaning it? Sounds very well. Clear highs, resonant bass.
The poster may want to add Sevilla at the end... .
연세가 많으신데 연주실력은 최고네요,,과연 세고비아 위대합니다,,,
How's Korea treating you bud?
The date of video recording of 1956 cannot be correct. Based on Segovia’s year of birth 1893 he must have been 63 at the time of this recording. He looks at least 73 in this video ! Anyway he is Guitar and Guitar is Segovia. I don’t think anyone can ever feels and plays guitar like him.
I think he's miming, it's really Chuck Berry behind the curtain. I had the pleasure of attending one of Maestro's performances. He broke a string and everyone gasped. He made a quelling gesture with his hands and we all got a lesson in how the boss does a quick string change (about 4 minutes).
Да сам Маэстро Андрей Сеговия
Solo ĺa modita' e' il futoro come il passato
O my guitar 🎸
He was actually thin as a young man. Theres a picture of him with Miguel Llobet and hes actually skinny.
Where can I find a list of these songs ?
Hello, they're all documented in the description, thank you for watching!
More like 1968. He plays a Ramirez guitar
Мне очь понравилось , ну очень.😁👍
I don't think this is 1956. He is playing a Ramirez 1a which he did not play until the early 1960's. In 1956 he probably would have played a Hauser guitar.
What song is he playing at 1250 ?
Prelude 3, Study 1 - Heitor Villa-Lobos

Es un maestro, pa igualarle se inventaron las guitarras eléctricas y mesas de mezclas, puede parecer laud, piano, arpa, y aveces percusión, todo. Pero Andrés siempre lo veo igual ya mayor, siempre igual. 😊
Sorry, give me ELP for the intro.
No matter what year you look him up he always looks like an old man.
Imagine a Segovia and Django Reinhardt shred off.
1956? That's a Rameriz.
What is the name of the first piece he plays? It is not gavotte l or ll. Thanks
The name (in italian) is "Vaghe bellezze e bionde trecce d'oro", and there is on UA-cam a performance of this piece by the italian guitarist Mario Gangi. Search for "mario gangi vaghe bellezze".
Non mi ero accorto che probabilmente sei italiano e avrei potuto evitare di commettere errori in inglese. Però può servire a qualche non-italiano-parlante 🙂
@@willymartinez2038 grazie
Excellent performance but this is certainly not 1956. He’s playing a long scale a Ramirez that didn’t even exist until 1961. I would estimate this to be 1962-1964.
19:04 even the master made mistakes.
min 18:30 track id plizzz????
Etudies n.1 heitor villa lobos
@@manueldemartinis695 🙏
My God Almighty i believe Andres is better than Jimi Hendrix! Is that even possible?
A note played wrong at 15:07.
Did Segovia ever look young?
😊!
