Many moons ago I was fortunate to have seen and heard Segovia play at the Lincoln Center in NYC. Blew me away. He was about 85-90 years old back then. The entire audience went wild over his performance. Hearing Segovia play was an experience I'll never forget.
I saw him at around that time. Shocking to see him walk slowly acros the stage--he looked so fragile, but then he sat down and began to play and it was magnificent and breathtaking.
Took me 20 years to get his touch technique, now just another 50 years to learn his playing skills. He was on a level of absolute control of timbre and mastery of finger pressure that takes decades to master. Unreal and will never be duplicated.
No doubt, my friend...I'm a proficient folk/blues fingerstyle guitarist and have just begun learning some classical techniques and I realized quickly that developing a fluid tremolo was going to take me a *while* , to say the least, lol...this man was at a level most of us could *never* achieve but we can allow it to inspire us to be better and explore the limits of what we are given 🔥
@@robertcronin6603 There are many videos of him using a lot of his left hand touch and right hand control techniques. His Bach videos clearly show how he uses his left hand ( wiggle the fingers) for vibrato-tremolo effect. His right hand for example he has it at the sound hole then when he needs brighter tones he slides his hand down closer to the saddle bridge. These touch and tone control techniques takes years to master. An example is I have 5 guitars ( acoustic, electric, classical) I never buzz on any of the frets with the low action setups on them, but my dad has absolutely no control over his finger pressure and always complains about fret buzz 😂. In order to play on a low action guitar it takes a mastery of finger pressure control in order not to have fret buzz. I like low action guitars and my setups are a nightmare for someone with no finger pressure control.
@@danfuerthgillis4483 Charo began guitar classes with him at age 9...You must see her play...Yes, the same Charo we took as a comedian, is actually a brilliant guitarist...Thanks to Andres Segovia...
No sé nada de música, excepto que existe, así que no juzgo la interpretación del Maestro. La música es alucinante y más, después de que una ha visitado La Alhambra y quedan sus recuerdos...
La escuchamos en uno de los corredores de la entrada,x un estudiante de guitarra...que asi de costeaba sus estudios...Recuerdo imborrable..!!!!.Año 2000...
This is by far the most precious, and beautiful composition that you can ever hear be played. For many, this piece would take many years to learn how to play. Here, was a man who would be born with a guitar in his hands, Andres Segovia had the ability to be masterful with his fingers, with such creativity, and incredible beauty. This is why we've all grown to appreciate this wonderful instrument a whole lot more over the years. He was unmatched by anyone, and had this wonderful gift from God, and then passes it along as to how it's played. He definitely was, and always will be the Grand "Master" of the guitar. A true Maestro, and a true Ambassador of the instrument.
I had the rare privilege to hear Segovia live in concert at Kleinhan's Music Hall in Buffalo in 1956 or 57. He played this as an encore. One of the most beautiful and magical things I have ever seen or heard.
This clearly sets the standard for the piece. Grace, elegance, eloquence, deep deep emotions, no hint of exaggeration anywhere. just music. just music. I heard now so many guitarists play this in a row - many of them far more magnificent than Segovia, but still... somehow... he stands out. He's the father showing his sons "how its done". He's the maestro, giving a lesson with every note. He's the ambassador of the Guitar.
@@cynskeptical Yepes is an incredible player, but I do not "agree" with his interpretation of this piece. Julian Bream (RIP) fused technicality with such raw emotion that he surpassed even Segovia's version in my opinion. It remains the definitive interpretation in my books.
I had the privilege of seeing Mr. Segovia on stage at Lincoln Center, New York. Oh, my God, he was a living miracle. If you closed your eyes you would have thought about six people were playing guitars all at once, but it was just him. I'll never forget it.
heaventree ofstars I saw him too, about 1980 in England. I thought he had already died earlier so imagine my surprise when I was told he was playing nearby! Of course I went straight out and got two tickets (girlfriend). We stood outside the theatre and watched him being driven away afterwards; I remember he was wearing on of those big furry Russian hats. He waved to us. I can see it all clearly.
I absolutely love this piece. I was in the Alhambra twice and each time I saw new things in it. This piece transported me to a mystical place. It’s a magnificent piece, and Segovia’s interpretation makes me 😢! I play it once a day. It gives me peace.
@@jimgreeninger Oh, so it's your recording. I liked it so much during the first listening that I downloaded it on my phone and now listen to it occasionally. I'm mesmerised by your performance, thank you so much!
I've heard so many people play this piece, but Segovia always has played it the best. Sure there are other guitarists who are at a high level technically, but Segovia puts so much emotion and soul into the way he plays. It's incredible story telling. Other guitars just sound like they are getting through the piece. Segovia on the other hand makes you feel it to your soul... akin to a spiritual experience.
Segovia's style is so intriguing and unique. The way he slightly blurs and slides the note changes between each other is so graceful. Also those booming, drum like base string accompaniments are very characterful and very unusual. There is no call for it in the music, yet it punctuates the music in an intense, dramatic way. His unique style makes Segovia so recognisable on any recording. I love that about him.
Please excuse me, Paco de Lucia is a great guitarist, but no one, really no other guitarist, plays this piece as well as Andrés Segovia did. For Paco de Lucia, Andrés Segovia was the master, his inspiration. @@masuarez606
El maestro Segovia, con su tecnica, precision y gran amor por la guitarra, hizo que este maravilloso instrumento fuera catalogado como un instrumento de las grandes salas de conciertos en el mundo. Bravo Maestro!
I grew up with this wonderful music. My father was a great guitar player, and he used to play it every single day. As an adult, I understood what a huge privilege it represents! And I thank him for this!
To me this is the gold standard of tremolo. Subtle, only a whisper, like the sound of flowing water in a Granada fountain. Touching to think that such a recording gave us Julian Bream. The power of this mellifluous and incredibly evoking sound!
So beautiful it hurts! As if it comes out of nature--somewhere. I always sense the seashore with the rhythm of the waves--back and forth, back and forth! So lovely!
Yesterday, I visited The Alhambra, played this song and cried. I remember listening to Segovia play it at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles. I so wanted to master tremolo.... it is just beautiful. His style is earthy... and like another person who posted, Segovia evokes emotion....
Este interprete es de los que transmite el sentimiento de la música, habra muchos interpretes con ejecución perfecta, pero muy pocos con sentimiento músical. Este es un buen ejemplo de genialidad de obra, interpretación y sentimiento.
Nobody can ever touch this performance of Tarrega's masterpiece, I've heard every different performance from many masters. Segovia makes the guitar sound like rain, he also has the spanish mystic feel, raw and gentle at the same time. I'm spanish and cry every time with this, it's like a portal to a lost and ancient Spain centuries ago... It crushes my soul. Gracias Andrés y Francisco.
Such a gift!!!.....Andres Segovia interpreting "Recuerdos de la Alhambra" from Tarrega,...my favorite guitar piece of all times.....brings out images of my visit to La Alhambra long ago THANKS... Martha Hevia
da oltre vent'anni ascolto Andrès Segovia....questa però ,Recuerdos de la Alhambra è per me la più bella, mi fa ricordare tra i miei momenti più belli della mia vita !...e che nostalgia !
No se mycho de musica pero si se cuando una melodia llega hasta lo mas profundo del alma. Esta melodia de Francisco Tarrega es un regalo para los que la escuchamos..❤
Un suspiro, una exhalación en un tremolo cristalino y contínuo . Entre esas progresiones fluidas nace una melodía implícita, pura. Me recuerda a Claudio Arrau , es decir aquel que es música en si mismo, aquel que trasciende a sólo una amalgama de sonidos y técnica y va por más. Por el sólo hecho de ser y hacerse uno con la música , lo que se es sólo a través de la virtud de unos pocos. Es ese sentido de trascendencia que sólo está en manos del maestro. Gracias Maestro A Segovia.
As I succumb to the magnificence of Segovia's Recuerdos, I simultaneously envision the splendor and artistry of la Alhambra built by the Muslims of North Africa, which I have visited several time. Thankfully, the last time I visited, it had been renovated and brought back to its original splendor and perfection. God has been kind to Spain in presenting it with a Moorish palace built by genius conception and with Andres Segovia, genius classical guitarist for all the world to listen to in ecstacy and appreciation.
This is the Spain before Roman conquest, Spain before Moors, Spain before reconquista, Spain before Franco. Shorty put it, eternal Spain that we know it only listen to this marvel. THANK YOU, from all my heart! ❤⚘
What a wonderful chance God has given to you...only in my reading I knew the great Andres Segovia-but sitting under his tutorial, on my part is impossible. Nice person, nice mentor, nice music...I hope you will be as generous as your teacher in giving lesson to your students.
puedo escucharla miles de veces y nunca me cansa....haber sido capaz de tocar esta canción es el sueño de mi vida, pero no me ha hecho Dios para tocar la guitarra, aunque sí para escucharla
Beautiful, thank you for uploading this. I love when people upload gorgeous videos like this and add to the beauty of mankind's experience. I consider it an act of generosity and love. Bless you.
i think is fantastic sound of master andre segovia playng Recuerdos de la Alhambra ritms very spririt love soft clean. I like this harmony of songs nice music.
Simply the best! Even if he were not my teacher I would still say it was the best. He played everything better than anyone. He was also an amazing person. I do miss him. Jim Greeninger
Andres Segovia was a good friend of mine and teached me a lot on the guitar. Today I'm more into Metal than classical guitar, but I think he would have understanding. As he always had! RIP dude, we will drink some bottles of wine in the eternity like in the former days!
I studied with Segovia in 1961-2-3 in Sienna, Italy and I remember him as being quite arrogant and bossy and I went off him for some years. But after revisiting his recordings and some of the videos I now realize what a genius he was. e might have een a bit 'lumpy' sometimes but his feeling and emotion for the music is second to none. This recording for the R de L shows exactly what I mean. He NEVER plays too fast or tries to show off his tremelo technique (which is not easy) just plays the music with grace and beauty. Love it.
+Jonathon Bennett You luck. I have seen videos of his master classes and you do need a small or humble quality ego to suffer his comments if you aren't up to snuff. Very demanding and low tolerance for obvious fault. Not easy. I have a great teacher now and I find I have to take what seems to me to be 'put downs' when he is trying to be constructive. After 5 years he finally tells me I have more strong points than weak ones! That to me is a great boost to my willingness to continue. I am not sure I will ever perform but I love learning and playing for myself. I saw Segovia play in concert when he was 93 and I once was a listener at an amateur guitar competition at Grace Church in NYC where he was one of the judges. The 'amateurs' were amazing.
You make me think about the movie Whiplash. The wisdom of genius is only pair with its eccentricity and overcorrection. There is a fragile line between the high level of demand for artistic performance and the abusive behavior of some teachers. However, I think what distinguishes these two extremes is the result that your students achieve. Still, I believe it is a privilege this memory that you share with us. Sorry about my English. I am learning. And to try to express myself, even with some problems, helps in my learning. A big hug from Brazil.
Just because a person is incredibly talented on the guitar (or anything else for that matter) doesn't mean he has the propensity to be a good teacher. Being a good teacher is a totally separate skill set.
There can only ever, be one single virtuoso of all virtuosos. He lived and played at a time when I was young and ignorant to this beauty. This ability is surely G-D given.

I saw him give a masterclass in NYC in 1985. Was that at the same time? I was deeply impressed and honoured to shake his hand. RG
I studied with Segovia from 1979 to 1986, he liked my playing and the guitars I built, always very nice to me
Took me 20 years to get his touch technique, now just another 50 years to learn his playing skills. He was on a level of absolute control of timbre and mastery of finger pressure that takes decades to master. Unreal and will never be duplicated.

Nunca se hará una interpretación tan sublime, autentica, profunda y delicada como esta.
The play by Segovia always makes me peaceful and to send my heart to the old Alhambra palace.
Esta melodía me llena de nostalgia al recordar cuando visité este palacio hace ya mucho tiempo.
¡Qué interpretación tan hermosa! Me encantó. No hay apresuramiento, solo música fluyendo. Podría escucharla mil veces.

Believe it or not chet atkins plays it well
He brought the humble lowly guitar to the concert hall and made it the concert master
I agree. Came here after the Yepes version and find this one much more gentle.

Agreed...a magical place of beauty, yet sadness as well...
Do you folks realize how incredible this recording is? No one else comes close? Listen to the last minute, absolutely unreal!
No. You’re so much better than us.
Yeah it's better than most including John Williams version, but my personal favourite is Julian Bream's version.

Only John Williams approaches his brilliance.
This is a really great recording. Brilliantly played piece.
This is probably the greatest guitar performance ever recorded... Deep emotions and out of this world beauty and magic.
Segovia's tremolo is sublime, in some parts it's so smooth you might think there is a violin playing it. Wonderful, beautiful piece.
Yes, it's because he plays the 3 finger tremelo which many guitarists do not...I like this version best...Jack Baker NYC.NJ
One of my all-time FAVORITE guitar pieces! I've listened to this recorded version countless times over the last 4 decades. Godspeed Mr. Segovia❣️❤️
いつ聴いても、まさに心に残る「名曲」です。アンドレスが奏でる福音に満ちた旋律は、世界中の、どの名ギタリストよりも心に沁み亘ります。

Did he ever compose? Did he play others compositions only?

It's not just blues guitarists that play soulfully, and from the heart.

shut up
I mean the song is literally titled "Memories of the Alhambra", so I'd say it's at least Spain after the Moors.
La mejor guitarra que he escuchado en mi vida....
My God, a beautiful piece performed perfectly, capable to awake the most sensitive feelings of a soul. Why did I listen this before?
This is one of my most favorite pieces! Saw him in concert and was awed by his genius on guitar! 💜
The absolute best performance of this particular work. He played with feeling.
canciones como esta... tocadas por genios como el Señor Andrés Segovia me hicieron crecer orgulloso de la música...
This song takes me to a previous lifetime, or something. Breathtaking and a fantasy.
I believe Segovia is the best guitarist of all time because of his ability to give to our tears sound......
Que belleza ,que dios bendiga a España México los ama

This is my favorite classical song. when I was a kid learning classical always wanted to learn this piece.
This is fantastic! Not too fast not too slow. The tremolo is very even while the melody sings freely...

I saw Segovia play in concert when he was 93 and I once was a listener at an amateur guitar competition at Grace Church in NYC where he was one of the judges. The 'amateurs' were amazing.
You make me think about the movie Whiplash. The wisdom of genius is only pair with its eccentricity and overcorrection. There is a fragile line between the high level of demand for artistic performance and the abusive behavior of some teachers. However, I think what distinguishes these two extremes is the result that your students achieve. Still, I believe it is a privilege this memory that you share with us. Sorry about my English. I am learning. And to try to express myself, even with some problems, helps in my learning. A big hug from Brazil.
Tremelo technique is really not as hard as most think.
its impossible if your nails are don't grow curved.... or about near.. mine hook down, nothing really works save cutting them off
Just because a person is incredibly talented on the guitar (or anything else for that matter) doesn't mean he has the propensity to be a good teacher. Being a good teacher is a totally separate skill set.
BRAVO from Acapulco!
May this music live on eternally--pure love
También hay inspiración en la ejecución. Emociona.
Sei stato il migliore maestro della chitarra grandissimo
Best recording/performance by far! So soft and unhurried.
There can only ever, be one single virtuoso of all virtuosos. He lived and played at a time when I was young and ignorant to this beauty. This ability is surely G-D given.
