Andrés Segovia plays Johann Sebastian Bach; suite for Lute in E Minor BWV 996, Allenmande. If there is any problem with the copyrights, tell me and I will take down this video immediately.
It’s ultimately that sound… those tone colors… that unexpected Fermata… that little vibrato here and there that always makes me come back to Segovia… it’s as if he’s creating the piece as he plays it… making microsecond decisions that show deep artistry and fearlessness.
agreed! This is also how I like to play - I honestly believe many players today don't allow themselves this artistic freedom - I certainly don't claim to sound like Segovia but growing up listening to him and Bream has ingrained in me, that the performer has a great artistic freedom - otherwise simply listen to a midi file of a classical piece - if not for the tonal colors, soulfulness and expression of the individual
...o gênio dos gênios, ímpar e inigualável! Seu toque diferenciado parece q estudava nota por nota, acorde x acorde sentindo a alma do autor das peças! Não ouvi gravações de Barrios, Sors, Tárrega e outros violonistas lendários, mas ouvi Regino Saens de Lá Maza e outros grandes intérpretes, e afirmo: gênio inigualável! ....fiz 6 anos de Conservatório e dei alguns recitais. Segóvia sempre foi o anjo do violão clássico transformando cada fragmento de um som numa essência divinizada! ...❤
Yes! Someone else noticed this was in a minor - not e minor. I mentioned this to my teacher when I was working on this allemande. I’m sure Segovia is doing his own transcription and he didn’t bother with the rest of the suite (I never heard him play another movement). Here is my guess. It definitely sounds different from all the e minor transcriptions I’ve heard. The main voice comes out lighter in a minor. My guess is he preferred the voicing.
@@markwalker6741 I've heard him play the Sarabande and the Bourree of this suite, both in the original E minor. You're probably right though it was just his preference, it would be tricky to transcribe the other movements into A minor without changing the tuning, so maybe he tried and it didn't work
