As a young man Classical Guitar could be heard on Saturday Night after midnight. I would rush home and lay in bed listening to Segovia, Bream and others. It has been the most valuable thing in my life.
I grew up with this man’s lovely music and others lulling me to sleep as my dad would listen and practice into the night. Superb memories and a fantastic foundation for my love of and appreciation for classical music.
I have to watch this over and over again. What a career, what an acomplished life, what a force for the classical guitar. And 3'30 ... 'Andrecito' that one killed me already
At the Alhambra, Hearing him play in that sequence, I felt suddenly a joy for being alive, we are all blessed with life, with which we can experience Segovia and his music
My mother was a classical guitarist and a student of Segovia. I was blessed to have seen him live on two occasions. On the first occasion it was with the Augusta guitar ensemble, which my mother was a member of. His music brings back childhood memories of her playing, and is so familiar to me, even now decades after her death. He has the heart, the tongue and the fingers of a poet. The world has much to thank him for. Without his gift and his ear, we may never have been rescued from the flamingo.
Yes. Flamingos... those pink feathered dragons have threatened the nobility of the guitar for too long. Thank you Lord Segovia for rescuing the guitar from them and any Paraguayn composers who write their own music.
The reason is very simple if you read more about him. For one there are countless excellent guitarists to make documentaries about. But back to Anders Segovia. Because of his association with the Spanish fascists and support of Franco he couldn’t perform in some countries outside of Spain , including the US. It was difficult because Franco was in power and fascists nearly everywhere were personas non grata. I don’t know whether he was a victim of circumstances or an actual ardent Frankist.
@@StopFear Interesting. I don't know much about his political origins, but I do that he did in fact perform and teach classes here in the US. And still, that is no reason not to make a film about the most influential musician of the 20th century. Just listen to his audio book biography. What an amazing life he lived. The politics should only make it more interesting. No one has ever catalogued more of our history of music on a single instrument, than The Maestro. Nor has been anyone more significant to a world of music, aside from Bach, then Maestro Segovia.
Andrés Segovia: Ramirez showed me one guitar that I found marvellous. .. After I played, and played, he took the guitar, and told me, "I give you this guitar, my boy". I answered with a gesture indicating that I had no money for paying the price of this guitar. And then he told me, "Pay me the guitar without money; but by making it famous all over the world".
This is wonderful - Marstro’s English is very good! I happen to be in music store in Washington DC looking through Sor Studies, I told the proprietor that my former teacher said I was ready for Sor. The proprietor got on the phone and the next minute I was arranging an audition with Sophocles Papas. I then took from him and we had fun conversations after each lesson. He and Segovia were friends for 60 -70 years.
That’s your opinion bro, personally I like Julian breams playing a little more but Segovia’s amazing and wonderful contributions to the classical guitar repertoire are undeniable.
What an enriching and magnificent experience has been watching this documentary. Thank you so very much for sharing it. Maestro Segovia, thank you for so much art and music, may God Bless your Soul.
I love the idea that this man(old as he was here) is what I would like to be.To have lived a full life in music on a level that is incredible, yet when he would shop for groceries you wouldn't know he was a beast of a guitar player! Well done and may you always be remembered for your gifts that you gave the world! Thank you and Rest in Peace!
Yes there are many sounds and timbres, pizzicato, brass, cello, drums etc. like maestro shows few of them. How and what angle pluck the strings. In Piano it is just hammer hits the strings but with guitar you can change the sound infinite. I like bending and sliding techniques (play classical and electric guitar). Of course we love an instrument what we play. I love almost every but one lifetime you can master only one.
Better late than never to see it...:) Segovia at Los Olivos was produced in 1969. I bought the DVD over 25 years ago. I must have watched it 50 times. I think I have every piece of music he played in the video in my music library.
Thanks so much for uploading this. I recorded it off the tv in 1985 on Betamax and later transferred it to vhs. Then when I got my first dvd recorder I transferred it to disc. Unfortunately it won't play on my current DVD player so it was so good to find this. Thanks again!
23:54 the technique used in this piece is called "Artificial Harmonic". This requires a high degree of adaptive accuracy. The player is required to 1) hold a note on the neck with one finger in the left hand, 2) lightly touch the string (with the index finger in the right hand) at the midpoint between the first finger and the bridge, 3) and finally plug the string with the nail of the middle finger the right hand as well (which explains the reason of playing this piece while Maestro speaks about the nail's quality). The reason this interests me is that it's like shooting a moving object while riding a horse. The index finger has to be exactly placed at the midpoint corresponding to the changing position of the left-hand finger, and he does it like he's drinking water.
@@67madchops "La Filla Del Marxant" It appears to be Llobet's transcription of the Spanish folk song. Segovia plays it exactly like Llobet's score except for the last couple of bars at the end--Segovia plays the final E and the harmonic A notes--also Segovia shortens the repeat a bit. Beautiful song.
There are many things I don't agree or don't like about segovia, including what he said about flamenco and other styles of the guitar. But he is so beautiful to listen to when he plays and he speaks.
At 24:36. Beautiful story of which instrument is appropriate for each situation in life. To those who make nasty comments about him, you're being hypocritical. Plus, what have you ever added to anyone else's life? Segovia brought joy to millions of people.
I do say that he was complicated, and snobby, and single minded to the point of putting others down (this is documented) but at the same time, a genius, crucial to the history of our instrument, a pioneer, and yes, he brought joy to millions, including me. It's perfectly OK to be honest about a famous person's deep flaws, because they did affects many as well, while also being respectful about his legacy.
"Might as well quit guitar if you don't have good nails. They must be very hard but also soft (wtf?)." Love that can-do attitude. Yeah he was a bit of a dick but love the music.
@@christiangasior4244 Yes, that bit is a load of tosh. Many folk with greater disabilities play wonderfully well. Django Reinhardt comes to mind! What did Segovia say to Bream when Bream smashed his arm? I hate to think!....
@@christiangasior4244you are citing it wrong. He didn't say " hard"; he said "strong". But I agree with you that not having good nails is not enough reason to give up the guitar.
Mary Ball Martinez mentions Andres Segovia in 1991 book Undermining the Catholic Church/online In 1969 I was only 13 and too young to understand Fifty years and more later I wish to Thank you Muchas Gracias
Beautiful film in every way! Amazing and sad that Segovia, Bream (his student), Williams, and Parkening are never mentioned when naming the "best" guitarists...
Segovia: Does a whole segment on Fleta guitars. Also Segovia: Exclusively seen playing Ramirez guitars on film from about 1963 on. There is no known footage of him ever performing with Fleta. Only photos.
Segovia was born on 21st february, not january as you can see at the end of documentary. And he died 2nd of june,not 3rd... Anyway, thank you for uploading and this is the jewel of classical guitar history, very inspirating and if you are not born with a good quality of nails, FIRST QUALITY,better give up of the guitar, thats Segovia s words :D
04:32 "When you began your career there virtually was not a repertoire, was it?" EXCUSE ME? Long before Segovia Bach had already versioned by Tarrega and Llobet. Besides this, Albeniz composed exquisite music already versioned in guitar by Tarrega, Llobet, Fortea and so on. As a matter of fact when Albeniz listened to Tarrega's version of one of his pieces he said that was what he had in mind when he composed it. Yeah, everybody has heard the old saying that Segovia took the guitar from the bars and low classes, which simply put is a big lie. Llobet and others were touring around the world long before Segovia. These lies so presumptuously repeated by the reporter and, sadly to say it, also by Segovia, do nothing good for the guitar, but despise and hide the wonderful works and artistry of guitar-composers like Tarrega, Llobet, Agustin Barrios, Emilio Pujol, Daniel Fortea and so on.

Tarrega, Barrios, Lobos has put forth the guitar on the main stage and even going far back there's Sor who created beautiful music for guitar. Hell if we even go back some of the major composers of the world acknowledged the guitar how Segovia sees it (Beethoven once said that "the guitar is a miniature orchestra in itself".
I tend to give him a pass on his narcissistic flights. Still, it’s good to hear someone defend his predecessors. His marketing hype can be irritating at times.
You're absolutely right, of course. However, you have to hand it to the man. He spent much of his life on the road, bringing beautiful guitar music to the masses. He transcribed a lot of stuff (often in a very difficult and quirky way which made it tough for those trying to make it through his expensive copy), and brought nylon strings to the guitar (thank God for that!). So, I think he deserves a bit of latitude when he exaggerates his legacy. He did do an awful lot for the world of Classical Guitar!
Beautiful house overlooking the Mediterranean. Beautiful wife unless that is a maid. Beautiful guitars and beautiful talent. If life was a video game, he mastered and got all trophies, is the pvp champion, beat all bosses with no gear on without taking a hit, including Kalameet and those double griffons you have to fight if you backtrack, is the speedrun champ, and etc.
@@soundknight Except for the fact so called life is just a dream. In the morning we stop dreaming/sleeping and enter another world (so called real daily life) where we feel awake, but one can feel awake and be conscious in dreams too, so no difference, this is just a dream we choose to live (or were drawn to be part of, like as we answered a call, a request). One thing has to exist anytime in order to be really real... then what about for example a great pain, physical or mental? It seems real and simply present, but when you finally fall asleep it disappears. Next morning, you feel it again... where was that pain? During those sleeping hours it simply wasn't, when asleep and dreaming that pain didn't exist. When asleep and not dreaming... I don't know where "we" go... but indeed "we" (our Soul?) don't stop existing, we are always present (that's the secret of Immortality, being aware that your true *You* never stops existing, and being conscious of it, such as remembering you are *You* every new incarnation you live). We live in a world with certain rules, we have our innate game-controls (5 senses plus the decoder sense i.e. the mind which makes this world seem real), game begins, has difficulties, joys, challenges and ends when the energy of the player is over or he has been wound (game over). But then again, being the video-game analogy simply perfect, we constantly and automatically choose to re-start the game (a new incarnation) over and over again, till we really wake up, see it's all just a dream, a game, and decide to switch off the videogame or maybe change the game and appear in other worlds, why not? I think knowing this so called real life is exactly like a video game gives it a new meaning: try to be the best player you can, if you're a charitable player then use your talent to help other players, if you're competitive try to become Motogp world champion, if you're under Jupiter influence become a sommelier... if you want to see what's behind the game (all the architecture, programming, music etc. behind the videogame) then study and practice some Science to get in connect with your Soul.
When he says that only Sor, and "a little bit of" Carulli and Giuliani were good composers of the guitar I really have a hard time taking him seriously. It's like a pianist saying that the best composers for piano were Beethoven, with a little bit of Chopin and Schubert, implying that people like Brahms , Liszt, Schumann, etc were poor composers for piano.
I had the pleasure of seeing Segovia play a concert in Oxford in about the mid 1970's. He was getting old then and not at his best but you could tell he was special.....a real artist. What most impressed me was how he could play with those fat, stubby fingers.....certainly not a guitarist's fingers....but he created wonderful music through them.
As a young man Classical Guitar could be heard on Saturday Night after midnight. I would rush home and lay in bed listening to Segovia, Bream and others. It has been the most valuable thing in my life.
the best part is when you get to play it
What a lovely story! I wouldn’t consider myself very good at guitar, but it’s such a joy every time I play it. So cathartic
I grew up with this man’s lovely music and others lulling me to sleep as my dad would listen and practice into the night. Superb memories and a fantastic foundation for my love of and appreciation for classical music.
Beautiful next to sleep with such music but to wake on the Lord's Day with the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
👍
This isn't just a UA-cam video, it's a historical document. A true legend of Spain and global music. Bravo señor.

Segovia's culture and humor comes shining through here. Well done.

Marvellous documentary that captures the supreme sensitivity of Segovia
He had "to put things by Bach" (4:24) and he had to rescue the guitar twice (4:42)... Great Andrés Segovia, one of our idols. Blessings.
Been waiting for a documentary on Segovia for many, many years.

I cant believe he is doing that without fret dots.
Dude, he's a virtuoso. He could play it blindfolded.
Dude its not that hard to play without the dots
They are on the side of the guitar neck.
Try playing a fretless instrument like the Oud, Violin, Cello 😅

A gentleman who knew what he wanted.

What's the title of the song he's playing at minute 07:00 ?

Does anyone know the opening piece?
I am still looking for the name of this piece but no one seems to know.
