There are very few people who ever played the guitar like this and no guitarist now can even comprehend what he did. A true master of expression. What a pity this beauty has gone.
when someone have soul they dont care bout technicality jimi hendrix wasnt musically trained sometimes goes off beat still amazing the beatles also wasnt clasically trained and sometimes goes off tune and off beat but still FUCKING AMAZING its about the soul
Yes, he did mess with timing - and attack and tone color and dynamics. He messed with everything there was to mess with, and by doing so he gave meaning to every note and phrase. That's what made his renditions so very fascinating. Bravo Segovia!
The first little ditty was the very first jury tune I worked out at taco tec before I went to the university.. It was pretty much "you do this or you aren't going".. I joked about some of these tunes for many years, but to hear them know...from one of my idols, well... I would give almost anything to play them now as badly as I played them then. I remember when my mother was still alive I went to that convalescent center she was living in and played every classical bit I had learned up to that point.. My mother cried... but I finished that performance with her favorite song moon shadow from cat stevens.. I never got the chance to do that again... There is some beautiful playing from the master here.
that's true but he overshadowed probably greater guitar players like barrios who was also a great composer and deserved more light at the time , that's a fact we cannot deny !!
@@hamzabenkhoud933 Yes, Barrios too was great, but when you're that great, there's no greater or lesser. There's just great. Remember: "Comparison is odious."
@@davebrast626 yes if we put the guitar interpretation/performance aside ,which both of them excelled at, segovia,despite being a lousy composer , showed disrespect to the genius of barrios by forbidding his students to play barrios' works , which is in my opinion unacceptable . Also , segovia looked down on the latin american music and culture .so ultimately he was a musical snob and he had some serious superiority complex . But to be fair , he was a legendary classical guitarist .
@@hamzabenkhoud933 A very stupid comment of yours, obviously you know nothing of Segovia or american music. Who is Barrios and where is his music today??? Andrés Segovia ordered compositions of many people, but notably from the mexican Manuel Ponce and from the Brazilian Villa-Lobos, that is one the the great XX century compositors. Enough said.
@@Alvar2001 who is barrios ? Hahahaha you're hilarious bro , barrios is one of the most important composers of the 20th century , and ofc villa lobos and manuel ponce are great too , but if you can't see and understand the greatness of barrios then go clean your ear or fuck yourself or whatever
How exciting it is to listen to this very download. It didn't take me long to figure this very sequence of works are the very ones I listened to in Barcelona in the mid 1950's. I guess first time I heard this I was about 9 years old and I appreciated Master Segovia then as I do today, 5/15/2017. Thank you so very much, Rocco Saviano for making this experience possible. :-)

I'm sixty now...but, in my classical learning days I studied the Segovia Method along with Scarlatti. Segovia was a soft fingertip continuing method whereas Scarlatti was a long fingernail, abrupt short method although they both went back and forth between hard and soft techniques. Took me a year apiece to fully perfect and be aware of the hidden nuances to do each effectively. I met Andrés Segovia in his first tour of the U.S. in 50 years. No one gets out of here alive. It's the contributions that make all the differences of the quality in the meaning of ones life that counts I have found. Andrés Segovia's life was one of those hidden secrets that has come and gone and not nearly enough of the world has had a chance to appreciate this man's existence. There has been none as he before or since.
A late response, but my guess is that you may have mixed up Scarlatti (who didn't play the guitar AFAIK) with one of the 19th century guitarists such as Sor etc... based on the similarity in their names I'd say Carcassi?
Stunning musicality. I am always so amazed to hear the more 'discrete' instruments (e.g., piano, guitar) sing with such fluidity and voice. Incredible mastery.
Romanticizing Bach is not my idea of a good Bach interpretation. Too many slurs and for goodness sake an occasional glissando!!! However, he was great in other music. Segovia did bring Classical Guitar to where it is today - a respected concert instrument and taught in universities and conservatories throughout the world as a serious classical instrument. We owe a lot to Andres Segovia but not as an interpreter of Bach's music. If you take note of current noted Classical Guitarists almost none of them use Andres Segovia's transcriptions.

Thank you so much for this upload Rocco. Its nice to hear the achievements of the young Segovia. If you haven't gotten to it yet the Segovia collection Volum 1 has many recordings from pieces that are played here aswell but at later part in his live.
Estas grabaciones antiguas están muy bien ejecutadas por Segovia. En un período posterior grabó de nuevo las mismas obras y su interpretación fue aún mejor. Creo que en este segundo período él estaba en su mejor momento. En un tercer período grabó de nuevo pero, según mi parecer, ya no era lo mismo. Sin embargo, él es el maestro que rescató la guitarra clásica y la puso en el pináculo que está hoy día. Los demás son seguidores.
15 some odd years ago a gas station clerk asked me what i do for fun. I said play guitar. He replied i want you to use the internet and look up andres segovia. For me the rest is history. I cannot thank that stranger enough.
If I had such a great sounding guitar I'd make recordings too! It must be he was a genius of a kind. I bet the better half of this, in most cases, can't be taught or learned
All that is needed to complete the scene is a Persian slipper ashtray with a box of Turkish cigars, a Renaissance nude and peacock feathers. Anything else?
I just discovered these recordings. Thanks for posting them. I enjoy listening to classical guitar as study music, and with these recordings of Segovia, I like hearing the "needle drag." But might I suggest that you edit out the parts of the upload that are corrupted. Thanks again.
Hard to believe he got better as he got older. He traded speed for expression and tone, and the results are irreproducible, even by the best of recent masters. Segovia + J.S. Bach = A face of what might be god.
+Bill Kilmer Yes, In many respects, but I find, that feeling was more predominant in these older recordings. I like the fresh speed - and the chaconne from ´59 had this almost raw expression of pain. Bach wrote it just after he had returned from a journey and found, that his young wife and their child had died. During the 60es, Segovia did develop towards more restraint and perhaps a more refined expressivity, but I love the directness in the recordings from his wild youth :-)
Mmmm not really, Segovia's Bach was never the best in my opinion and he was never a fervent Bach player. The only pieces of Bach he played were the most melodical ones, he never tried with those characteristic Bach pieces on which the conterpoint is predominant. Narciso Yepes was the one there.
I wish most of the modern players...'the .Smallman guitarist'. ...and the rest ..........would just listen to this man play...but ..alas ..they know it all....or so they believe...do you have to consult a book on how to interpret Bach...well no, just listen to SEGOVIA.....
+one mexican I couldn't agree MORE! The expression has really disappeared from guitar playing, in favour of a dry, "play by numbers", so-called "academic" approach. Also, the tone of guitars has gotten worse. Most of the lattice tops, from the mega-over-priced Smallmans down just sound nasal, harsh and "wrong" somehow. Give me a 1960-90s Ramirez, a 1970s Fleta or Romanillos, or a 1930-40s Hauser over these new-world instruments ANY DAY! I give, as an example, the excellent technician Xuefei Yang, who I heard live at the Wigmore Hall some years ago, on a Smallman. Her playing was, technically, excellent. But the guitar!...........urgh, was one of the most hideous sounds I have yet heard from a concert instrument! I play a Ramirez myself, my teachers played Ramirez, Contreras, and Fernandez, and so I'm used to hearing first quality guitars up close. Her Smallman, by comparison, was atrocious.
Narciso Yepes used to say about Segovia that it is impossible to play the guitar without having in mind Segovia's playing. And he was right. After a while of listening to Segovia i've analised his playing and he is really absolutely essential. But the problem with the modern guitar and as a consequence the existence of the Smallman guitars is that the guitar community has forgotten it's roots. They think the great masters such as Segovia and Yepes are overcomed. They are delusional.
This is the first time i'm reading so much sense about the classical guitar, really. Makes me very happy to encounter people with the same feelings and opinions as me about the classical guitar.
NO ONE can play like this. I mean millions of good guitarists out there and what is this magic of Segovia? How he controls the volume and tone and such. Messes with the tempo here and there to great artistic effect. So glad I read your comment and focused on this piece.
You can read Rico Stover´s book "Six silver moonbeams"or read Zane Turner article "Why did Segovia ignore the music of Barrios?" You can search both in scribd...
I love these awesome recordings. However, there is a large area of the recording where the sound cuts out, hence much of the material is missing, can you please re-post?
It seems the records were played in a little bit higher speed since the Mozart Variation is in F major. I didn't check other tunes but I guess the original plays were slower in speed and lower in sound, and would sound much better.

Segovia en su juventud fue uno de los mas grandes virtuosos de su epoca.una lastima que haya sentido tanta antipatia y envidia hacia Agustin Barrios.Se nota mucho la influencia de su maestro Miguel Llobet por lo que es un valioso documento historico...

What an amazing human being, Segovia
There are very few people who ever played the guitar like this and no guitarist now can even comprehend what he did. A true master of expression. What a pity this beauty has gone.
nobody else has this knack, I so love his interpretations. He messes with the timing and gets away with it . I love this.
when someone have soul they dont care bout technicality

It seems the records were played in a little bit higher speed since the Mozart Variation is in F major. I didn't check other tunes but I guess the original plays were slower in speed and lower in sound, and would sound much better.
What has happened after 15:55? Distorted or no sound at all.
He's really playing fast on that first piece. I think he played it more slowly later.
paul harris He played generally faster in his early years.
@@richardmason5670 He actually said he did that because he felt he had to impress the audience who dismissed the guitar as merely a folk instrument.

Please give the names of the pieces and their composers. I would like to know the info for the last piece on this video, please.
Bruce Salem,
Is this of some help? I just copied and pasted from a post above yours:
This should help because some of the recording ocassionally goes silent This person was, indeed, very helpful.

@@swordoff7 La verdad es que Bruce Salem debe estar muy agradecido por tu respuesta. Pero ¿por qué no responde Rocco Saviano?...¿Es porque no sabe?... Debería responder Rocco Saviano.
en estas grabaciones tocaba con guitarra Manuel Ramirez y cuerdas de tripa? no esta mal :D
I think it might be due to the fact that these are old recordings. Perhaps the methods to record weren't as sufficient as ones we have today.
Very interesting. How do you know that?
sound is messed up around 16:30 and on
I'm learning Gavotte (Bach) on the guitar. Suzuki 5.
No se esucha desde el minuto 25 creo.. lo anterior genial! salu2
Me gustaría que Rocco Saviano me respondiera lo siguiente: ¿Cómo se llama la obra del minuto 53:45 al minuto 55:46 y quién es su autor? Muchas gracias.

Prelude from Bach Cello Suite#1
Segovia en su juventud fue uno de los mas grandes virtuosos de su epoca.una lastima que haya sentido tanta antipatia y envidia hacia Agustin Barrios.Se nota mucho la influencia de su maestro Miguel Llobet por lo que es un valioso documento historico...
