We must give credit where credit is due. Without Segovia's contributions in the 20th century the classical guitar would be in a very sorry state indeed. Thank you for all your post.
people say jimmi hendrix with his sloppy blues rock solos is the best because of what he contributed but he gave nothing to the guitar like the master andres segovia did

lol my guitar professor is always talking shit on segovia---'he had to have it his way', 'he always shitted all over his students', 'he ruined the 7 course guitar for over a century'
apparantly lots of professors at universities and conservatories got fired from their positions if they refused to switch to 6 string guitar
my master who is the student of a Segovia's student is always speaking well of him,he is always saying " buy a CD of Segovia so you can hear how the guitar has to be played", I did and I have to say that I really like his style, he was the standard guitarist, I think we first have to play like segovia to learn how to play and than make our own style
fired because they don't use a 6 string guitar?? strange , I know many people who made the final exam with a 10 string guitar without problem, maybe for the professors is different, don't know.
Wow! A lot of scummy posts on here. Don't sully Segovia. He was the greatest guitar player of the 20th century, not least of all because it was his talent and absolute mastery that finally earned respect for instrument among the rest of the world in music. Beautiful piece.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
he is nothing compared to the players today! in fact if u listen to some of the young chinese girl players they are frightening! segovia wud be laughed at now!!!
In terms of fingers falling on strings with steady, loud tone--perhaps. In terms of the resonation of the soul projected into the soundbox of the guitar... well.. I'm not too sure.
Fuck the chinks......they play with no feeling!!!!!!!! Go fuck yourself too.......I hope that you're wife sleeps with another man....and you're children die in a car fire you fucking cum catcher........you're mouth is only open because you want a big fat chinese cock to cum in it!!!!!!!!!
Now that I got my anger out.......I would like to say that Andres Segovia's playing was unique and flowing and full of emotion.....so go fuck yourself for saying people would laugh at him nowadays....bitch
Your reply to vinnothelizard is disgusting on so many different levels. And if you think that your ability to use obscenities impresses people then your very much mistaken.
Also, whatever you would like to say about Segovia has no value or signifcance after the foul and uncalled for rambling that preceeded it.
Wow. It's hard to take an idiot like this deluciarules134 seriously when he doesn't understand the most basic grammatical rules of his own native language. Idiot. You disrespect Segovia with this post and De Lucia with your stupid sign-in name. Go take an elementary school English class, fucktard.
@vinnothelizard well i dont want to say to much of myself but i work along side players like gabriel bianco and judicael perroy. i have to say this is completely false. in every country of the world theres a little girl who can play Paganini perfect. the thing that sets Segovia aside is not technique. but deep deep understanding of music and having it played in the deepest forms of authenticity. you must use your brain and heart to understand segovia not your eyes gazing upon technique.
@vinnothelizard btw i love asians. but i think there won't be many who are great musicians. great technique sure (not so great). they can hit the notes. but most Asian players dont go too much farther than just hittin the notes. technique is not simply hitting notes. but the efficiency in bringing to life your musical thoughts. thats what it really is. this is what seperates a little chinese girl who plays the notes perfect from segovia. a man who deeply studied the music and brings life to it.
Segovia tocaba muy bonito no se niega, pero fue un egoista total con barrios mangore y eso porque barrios lo superaba facilmente en la ejecucion de las obras. Como prueba sel egoismo un boton: busquen por internet una obra de barrios tocada por Segovia. Creo que no la encontraran.
Barrios le ganaba en el hecho de que no solo tocaba, pero también componía. Yo hé escuchado a los dos tocar en sus respectivas grabaciones. Segovia, para mí, tocaba el instrumento mejor. Per, nunca logró componer una obra propria. Ese no era su don. Por eso, temía que Barrios le robase público. Ya han muerto ambos. Para hablar mal de ellos?
Segovia plays in the spanish style of classical music. You probably play everything straighter than a ruler. His Ponce interpretations are they way that Ponce himself wanted them to sound. They were best friends. Torroba wrote this piece for Segovia. You are a dumbass
Ponce was Mexican; his influence was Neo-Classicism. Any composer is honoured to have his pieces be played by a competent player such as was Segovia. But Segovia doesn't really understand the style of composition. Yes, they may well have been good friends (on account that Segovia did his best.) Enough said... Listen, please, to Adam Holzman (Naxos DDD 8.553832)This is outstanding and accurate.
Don't tell me where Ponce was from. Holzman plays these so called 'true' versoins(Miguel Alcazar edition) of the ponce preludes that are actually just first drafts that ponce wrote. He would have never wanted anyone to play them. Even if you don't think Segovia is the greatest, quit bad mouthing a dead man and show respect to the man that gave the guitar to you, me, holzman and everyone else.
Segovia-schmagovia. Quit bad-mouthing the not-yet-dead. Segovia gave us an oversized guitar (for those with smaller hands than his) with just 6 strings.
Follow your own path. I prefer greats like Manjón, Barrios, even Yupanqui is more musical (and they are dead too.)
Here! Here! I've played on presegovia guitars and just will not do. Thanks to the Maestro, we now have an instrument that is taken just as seriously as any bowed member of the orchestra, the piano, and the brass. Heh, he even showed how our instrument could evoke the sounds of these instruments. I didn't care for his arrogance, myself, but, it can not be denied that he did great things for the instrument and he could walk the walk he talked so well and walk it outstandingly.
@philomelodia a mockingbird could do that. I give him credit, it's the best-sounding instrument in A440, esp. if you want to play Moreno-Torroba's wonderful guitar concerto. But the problem starts when you feel you got to classify all plucked instruments (that look something like what Segovia played) a guitar.
A comment on Segovia's guitar performance someone said that the guitar world has barely begun to understand the profound musical language and all the poetic beauties that the great Segovia could bring forth and communicate. And we still have his records to let his poetry calm our weary souls.
Definantly. I consider him the greatest guitarist of all time. He brought the guitar's status from a simple peasents instrument to a popular instrument played and loved by many.
Hey Carlos...You hit it on the head. Imagine....an instrument of peasents. Music regardless of instrument or form is a gift be it from king or pauper.

You have to consider that in his time study of the guitar and learning resources were incredibly undeveloped.
Also, the instrument and technology have changed, making it easier to compose and play music in this day-and-age.
I question whether or not you know anything about the instrument or music yourself.
