ASSHOLE. Of course he was young, He was born in 1893 and had a development like any human being, There are no videos of him, just because there are no camcorders in the early twentieth century. Understood stupid ???? ASSHOLE FLOYD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is wonderful to see a True LEGEND playing an acoustic guitar. Andrés Segovia was this Legend and a Myth for all that loves music. Thanks for this vídeo.
One of the best examples of this man's love of classical composers and his exsquisite interpretation and emotive and magical expression make this a learning tool for anyone interested in learning to play the guitar. Andres Segovia is one of the greatest artists ever to demonstrate the ability to captivate an audience with his virtuoso performances.
I saw him live a long long time ago, the 70s I believe. My friend who I was teaching guitar took me to the concert. When he came on stage, there was lots of applause, but Segovia was just standing there. The applause got softer and softer until and he was still standing there. Some side chatter was heard, until there was complete silence. You could literally hear a pin drop! He finally sat down and began playing. It was the most beautiful music I had ever heard in my life. I almost cried!
I appreciate this so much.❤ I was able to play many songs let alone Slayer and she loved the music 🎵🎶 she just didn't understand all the screaming but once I played all of this on a classical guitar😅 I understood she heard it. I just wish I had my great-grandma's piano that was busted into pieces because she was my inspiration. Santa Clara
jst cant stop coming back to watch this. every note so sharp and deliberate. god, to have seen this man live while he was still alive. imagine if this were recorded with modern mic.
there's no words to descrive a master he is not a machine like some new classical guitarrists all theses musics are an act of love and feelings porring down his thinger to the instrument.
I saw him play in Chicago in 1971. He threw a bluesy 7th chord into one piece that caught everyone by surprise. I swear you could hear the audience smile in gratitude. Yep, the dude liked Chicago.
Finally, with the help of Google, I was able to identify the piece of music that they play in the AT&T commercial. I love it so much. It is romantic and beautifly played. The artist is wonderful.
I wonder, how can people dislike this? Regardless of if they like the piece or not, no one can deny Segovia's brilliance. I'm not making jokes a million people have already heard, like, say, "20 people are deaf," but, really, what is there to dislike?
Truth be told people change in time. I for one was also a huge fan of shredding and such. My father once showed me Segovia; and I instantly recognized how fantastic he was; without any prior knowledge of him. Don't fear; those who will become parents still need to grow up as well :)
He is certainly genius. I listened to his bosom old favorite performance with looking animation, and was impressed. I also love his boast face after his performance .
For those who display their audacity by questioning the artistic licence Segovia is rightly employing here, just stop for a second and think just how lucky you are to have the privilege of witnessing a great artist at the height of his career. How can you possibly whinge and moan about repeats or whatever, when you have this heaven sent opportunity to delight in that ravishing tone that only an artist of Segovia's stature could produce. Keep still and LISTEN !
Thanks for the feedback. In any discipline or art it is always important to acknowledge the originators or masters. You jogged my memory I remember having played some Fernando Sor pieces many years ago. The last time I played classic guitar was early 198os. Tarrega, Pujol and LLobet still a blank. As we talk, It will come back to me.
Yes, I do. I happen to have the tab in one of my Guitar "EXTRA" Magazines. It's the Winter 1992 Volume 2 No. 4 magazine, with James Taylor on the cover. Transcriptions include: Fire and Rain, Country Boy (Ricky Skaggs), Traveling Riverside Blues (Robert Johnson), Tune Up (Miles Davis), and Variations on a Theme from the Magic Flute" (by Fernando Sor, arranged by Robert Phillips). Great mag !!!
Thanks for giving opportunity to listen. I love Segovia's art but I have to say there sre some differences note he played In comparison with the original .In seventh var he located bass note on the opposite before the melody,that is interesting.
Music is a matter of interpretation. I am sure the others you quote must be very good too. I studied classical guitar back in the 70s-early 80s, Segovia, Williams and Bream were regarded as the best that I remember. wasn't Guiliani a composer? remember playing his exercises and some pieces. Thats a long time ago. You have inspired to take up the guitar again after 25 yrs of having not played it. Tell me more of Sor, Aguado, Tarrega and LLobet (he's French?) .
He makes it look so effortless and the sound is just so clear and precise....considering the age of the recording. I particularly like his use of glisandos. I'm very much a segovia fan!!
@oknarbtal @charcharism This is not an arrangement. This is a theme and variations composed by Fernando Sor. Opus 9. There are certain sections(the theme, variation 1, variation 4)that you want to channel Mozart, but this is arguably the masterpiece of the Catalan master.
I wouldn't mind know the correct right hand fingering at the end when he sweeps up and down on the E chord,the way segovia does just is amazing,looks so effortless.
some people have a great sense of music..the greatest sense.. the intellect through the physical self and imbued with their spirit all at the highest aesthetic of the sublime, these humans are rare as is evidenced by many comments posted here segovia is alone on top of the mountain looking down and pointing the way up
That sound! And he was an amazing virtuoso, but most videos are from when he was quite old. There are recordings from his prime and the playing was unhindered.
Segovia is the greatest classical guitarist of all time. It takes talent and lots of hard of work to achieve such a level of playing. Such musicians are born with talent. Bravo Andre, you will always be remembered.
Variations... yes, he made this song hs own!!! I have known of this song for 10 years now and I still get shivers during parts of this song.... I don't get shivers from Metallica solos anymore, just GNR and Segovia.... and maybe Atkins!!!
