Segovia Competition : Film with Segovia ( 1982 ) 

That last remark left me speechless....

This video is still a breath of pure air after nearly 40 years: the commitment of all partecipants, the standard of finalists, the smiling of Segovia on the announcement of winners, the overall quality of sound and much poetry. We are missing the poetry beyond every note, today.

feel so happy listening to my grade 8 exam piece (bach bwv 998) played in a competition of this scale, hope to play like them one day in the near future

Este reportaje no sólo es una joya musicológica sino que tienen un valor antropológico y etnográfico único. ¡Muchas gracias por compartirlo! 🙏

شكرًا جزيلاً على هذا الفيديو

É um baú cheio de jóias 👏👏👏

Great video to fall asleep to. Lol

Wow such a tragic ending. How sad to be so talented and for that to be taken away

Segovia born 1893

Japanes winner"s guitar had nice and strong sound....Its very good hear when he play Ponce concerto and comparrison with other finalist.

SO SAD that the winner hurt his left hand ( apparently very badly) and could play the guitar NEVER again. SO SAD to hear SUCH terrible info. . . "Reading from Graham Wades book, A New Look at Segovia vol 2, it was the winner of the 1981 Segovia International Competion, Tsuyoshi Horiuchi. He was reported as having comitted ubitsumaro, an act in which he cut off the tip joint of the little finger of his left hand.?" Yubitsume Japanese finger amputation ritual ? Intentionally? I can't belief that!

Grazie Daniele! Una vera chicca....

Так жалко этого мальчика японца. Как печально.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Love this from the 80s a Paul Galbraith citing at that! Judges are quite the lot no pressure Paco could have always been sitting there to imagine lol 😆.

Time capsule!

Hi Daniele, first of all thank you so much for your great channel! Do you know which Bach piece the Japanese guituarist plays at 37:30. I don't understand the commentator. Thanks in advance Andreas

I'm very much surprised that none of these 34 artist never played any Mangore???

29:01 great Tedesco, meanwhile Segovia seems asleep.

That Barrios piece had to have burned the maestros ass.......😂

Where is Guatemala City?

I'd like to say something as a little old interested in guitar world: (1) All of this, and we too, would not be here without M° Segovia: he brought guitar in Academias of classical and contemporary music; (2) the competition was very hard and we must recognize that for only partecipating one wins; arriving to the final selection it's a result of real great value; winning something that could be considered quite a non human result; (3) but, in oly few photograms, when someone presented "El sueño en la foresta" by Barrios, my memory could go to the scene of Barrios' biographic movie in which Segovia asked to Barrios not to play his music and he leaved the scene; popular music, academian music a dicotomia that Segovia didn't succeed to completely resolve and I cannot consider the presence of Barrios of such a competition as an enough apology.

What a tragic ending…does anybody know how he is today.

Too much ads.....

whats the final piece of the video? 54:13

What was the name of the Japanese winner? Please type his name.

Location for the first... lost interest due to poorly placed ads.

28:20 como é o nome dessa música?

So, Eliot Fisk failed.

Had to stop 🛑 before a minute reached. The high pitched screaming sibilance was painful

Seems like all 'competitions' are simply horse races.
