"Capricho Arabe" played by Segovia

[maritopo]

Uno escucha esta canción y dan ganas de aislarse del mundo y pasarse el día tocando la guitarra. Gracias a Andrés Segovia!

[bounasim]

It's very relaxing. Listen and forget your thoughts and griefs. Great music.

[mirandina1000]

Questa è l'arte, si!

[raltini39]

Giusto!!!

[parkouru123]

Que sonido..!!. Andres Segovia sin duda el mas grande interprete de todos los tiempos...!!!

[TubeSpoker]

Perfect... Bream destroyed the intro playing it as it not should be, slow. Capricho Arabe... it´s arab, it´s flamenco, it needs flow in the beggining. It means Arab Caprice. It has a flamenco touch to it, so Bream destroys it playng the intro so disconnectected.... Segovia master of all.

[onarix]

@TubeSpoker i think bream play too fast after the intro

[porchmonkey401k]

@TubeSpoker actually tarrega marks it as a Serenade, so yea its supposed to be slow. My professor was the student of Rey de la Torre so yea, i would know

[0001andradino]

this sound is arrebatador.

[hotenjyzzy]

EPIC



[392ih]

God's gift to music.

[xaladolokiyo]

@392ih nope.

Andres´s gift to us.

[porschemagicbus]

@xaladolokiyo nope

Andres is god, and we are the music.

[taliabambaren]

espléndidamente maravilloso

[theadore21]

12 people gave thumbs down? why, i wonder?

[estebanskater123]

@theadore21 because they are jealous of his interpretation

[adbogo]

@theadore21 probably green with envy

[EhScumbags]

A good question. What guitar he's using here?Cedar or Spruce?

It's likely one of his Fleta or a Ramirez in 1973.But which?

[luzrainbow]

La fusión de una impecable técnica con el alma hace a los grandes músicos

[JanVanGalen]

This piece has been intriguing me ever since I read "Practicing" by Glenn Kurtz.

[duplosrce]

Thanks, maestro

[gigihentz1]

he he. i used to play this when i was a kid in the ''conservatory school of music'' in romania , bucharest.

[ALFONSOJON]

ESTE ES ANDRES EL MEJOR MUSICO DE LA GUITARRA CLASICA

[rokeraism]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa esta cacion esta beien bonita

[vallievi]

the best version of this to me is Cacho Tirao's.

[MrKissmekillme]

This song remembers me when i was in the conservatory playing this.

When i was a man of feelings, not science.

I sure miss that time

[jamma246]

@MrKissmekillme You can be a man of both feeling and science. Actually, it very much helps your science to have feeling (as of any of the great scientists), and it very much helps you spiritually to think about science.

[UltimateFighterBruce]

Strange, it went from 11 d back down to 10. The Maestro must be reaching back to say: "Idiots !!"

[oknarbtal]

I quit studying classical guitar years ago and now listening to this and Bream's version feels so nostalgic. Shit, I'm so gonna quit my lousy job and start playing again.

[Netali71]

@oknarbtal I know, I did it!

[adbogo]

@oknarbtal good on you

[porschemagicbus]

@oknarbtal hahaha, same feeling except i probably have more free time than you and i practice every early morning.

[refinedfriend]

Ugh, this is in drop D tuning, so appalling. . .

[wassermeister]

@refinedfriend why? drop D sounds awesome

[jamma246]

@refinedfriend ???? That's one of the most retarded things I've read on youtube.

[refinedfriend]

@jamma246 Drop D is irritating to tune to, it messes with anything else you do as you have to constantly remember that everything on your bottom string has to be moved up 2 frets to have the same notes, it's just a pain in general, obviously unless it's someone who nearly exclusively uses it, which would not be me, thus explaining my dislike of it. 

[jamma246]

@refinedfriend Ok, fair enough. I suppose you can't really improvise with it unless you are used to it, but it's fine for certain songs once you've learned them. I thought you were going to be one of those who associate it with bad metal music or something.

The Schindler's list theme played by John Williams using something like a C on the bottom string (don't think it's drop C tuning though, something different).

[a015537]

@jamma246 Yes jamma, I agree. I love "Dedicatoria" as played by Bream. It used a sixth string tuned to D. So what? You learn the piece one way. When your ready to play another piece, tune back up. No biggie.

[gabri2yo]

Si se pudiera poner mas que un solo "Me Gusta", pues a esta hora ya estaria en coma por oprimirlo millones de veces...

[8marcl888]

Magnifique, absolument magnifique... merci ultimate touch of awsome

[refinedfriend]

Anyone know where I can get the guitar sheet music for this piece, with the same notes he plays in the video, I have heard it many different ways, I like it here the best.

[TheMax161]

@refinedfriend Segovia used Schott as his music publisher. They are on the Internet.

[ALFONSOJON]

ESTE ES ANDRES SEGOVIA EL MEJOR GUITARRISTA DEL MUNDO QUE HIZO POPULAR LA GUITARRA. GRACIAS ANDRESf!

[juanbou1]

Es Capricho Arabe de Francisco Tàrrega de Villarreal mi ciudad

[kubahobo]

the crazy things is once you learn correct fingering this isn't an amazingly hard song.but to play it with as much expression as in this video is pretty damn hard.. i dont even come close!

[bartolillo85]

Es Tárrega, os lo aseguro

[ALFONSOJON]

Yes this is Andres the greatest guitar player ever and the man that made the guitar popular

[UltimateFighterBruce]

This is Andres Segovia ! from the cassette "My Favorite Spanish Encores" which was later re-released on CD as "Obras breves espanolas". Also, read the "A New Look At Segovia" (vols 1,2) books to connect-the-dots. This is Andres Segovia !

[oweiye]

Segovia? Sure of that? No kidding! With these heavy slow fingers??

[Finko00]

@oweiye I was thinking the same. Maybe, but I am also skeptical

[Hositcaos]

esatto non è segovia , troppe sbavature il maestro non le faceva , e non è una hauser 517 come chitarra quella era la sua chitarra

[Ugallardo]

Amigos, este video es un fraude. Si quieren escuchar la verdadera interpretacion de Segovia busquen: Francisco Tarrega - Capricho Arabe by Andrés Segovia, el video es del usuario satanicmethuser666 para que no haya equivocacion. Noten la diferencia. Hay un caso parecido en youtube, en el que un usuario subio una horrible interpretacion del Capricho y afirmaba que era de Paco de Lucia... :P

[Ugallardo]

¿Es Segovia? Yo tengo una grabacion en donde si no hay duda en que es el...pero esto...no se. La tecnica es mas deficiente, los cambios de volumen son distintos...la grabacion suena demasiado bien para ser del 73. Aqui hay algo raro.

[jmoney2130]

This is fantastic!

[mrboppman1]

Where can you go from this? Segovia the ultimate!

[Paranoiabrutal]

Aquellas 6 personas deberían suicidarse

[Scaar81]

la interpreta mejor que yo, por algo sera la trayectoria... aunque en realidad las interpretaciones tienen cada una una visión distinta, no es que unas sean mejores que otras... pero él creo que la vio mejor que yo

[agostinomaiello]

6 dislike??? WTH

[bichepo]

@agostinomaiello maybe they dont like that theres no picture

[agostinomaiello]

@bichepo :-)))

[lilchoguitar]

La musica es hermosa. Es increíble. Sí, Muchos Gracias Andres Segovia por su maravillosa interpretación.

[TheGringopobre]

grande

[Curatica]

Yes, it is obviously that this was recorded in the seventies; Segovia should have known when to stop instead of continuing to play and produce such dreadful and pathetic performances...

[goldie0800]

Why is the video screen all black, nothing showing? Music is fine though.

[jeko2018]

por 19 segundos me quede de.... ya no sirven mis bocinas D:

[crustylamps]

Anyone who plays this piece: Could you please tell me what right hand fingerings you use for the run on measure 7? While you're at it, could you also include the left hand fingerings for that measure? Thank you!!!

[trainora]

Segovia is actually pretty mediocre if you listen to him objectively compared to any number of modern day guitarists. High-quality guitarist seem to be a dime a dozen these days.

[ricardodrmthtr]

@trainora Segovia fue es y sera el guitarrista mas importante gran maestro y artista con una sensibilidad musical unica tu comentario esta tan lleno de envidia como de ignorancia la guitarra clasica esta donde esta en este momento gracias a el y grandes guitarristas de hoy en dia reconocen su aporte...por favor lee un poco y aprende de historia antes de decir semejante idiotez

[lapisredux]

@trainora yes but you,re used to the modern sound whereas this is no nonsense solid meat and potatoes with gravy and a crusty roll

[pishposhcrydaisey]

@trainora why? because he doesn't play it as fast? He plays it at the right tempo

[SqueezeMyLemonBabe]

@trainora

there are very very few people who ever lived who have mastered the guitar. Actually mastered it, I mean.

It probably has the least masters to its name than any other instrument, especially in comparison to how many players play it.

[Ugallardo]

@trainora I think he is not Segovia, that is why this sounds...crappy. Seach for another video...he recorded the best version of this song.

[ScarletMagenta]

@Ugallardo Nah this is Segovia alright. You can tell by the way how needlessly slow the piece is played.

Check Bream's version imo

[Ugallardo]

@ScarletMagenta This is not Segovia. Search for Francisco Tarrega - Capricho Arabe by Andrés Segovia uploaded by satanicmethuser666. That one was recorded by Segovia.

[theorami1]

Solamente un ángel puede tocar de esa manera. El mismo cielo desciende a la tierra con los tonos de Andrés Segovia

[GuitarSlinger2112]

His rest stroke is so effin good...

[flame4983]

Személyesen nagyon sajnálom, hogy csak ennyi embernek tetszett és hát 1,5 párnak nem. Én mindenkit sajnálok, aki még csak megsem hallgatta. Sajnálom Öket azért is, mert nem tudják, hogy MI AZ, AMI ŐSZINTE MŰVÉSZET és SZERETET

[wally199o]

this not for andres segovia

[dangvm]

Segovia is the best guitarist, and this is very beautiful song that was played by Segovia

[heartbreaksoul084]

this is awesome. Thank u for sharing :x

[vgfigue]

Primero que nada, esta grabracion es del 1973. Cuantos an~os tenia Segovia en el 73: 80 an~os. Segundo, no puedes hablar de intrepretacion pq si hay alguien que sabia la interpretacion original es el dado a que estuvo presente en la era en que se compusieron estas canciones o tuvo contacto directo con aquellos guitarristas que tuvieron contacto directo con el compositor de esta cancion. Has escuchado a John Williams ultimamente. Ya tiene 70 an~os. Dale 10 an~os mas.

[halan2008]

@vgfigue De acuerdo contigo, mi maestro me ha dicho que para barroco o renacimiento por ejemplo, Segovia no es el más recomendable, pero cuando vi esta pieza me dijo "Ahora sí, la mejor versión que puedes escuchar es la de Segovia"

[chicomusico1]

no entiendo por que se molestan tanto con la verdad,muy bien es andres segovia pero aceptemoslo es una interpretacion con mala calidad no se por que se endiosan con un personaje a tal grado de ber perfeccion donde no la ay,y no digo que segovia alla sido un mal interprete es simplemente que en esta obra el ya esta muy mayor y a esa edad no podia tocar de otra manera sus facultades ya estaban muy disminuidas ,no me voy a poner a alabar una obra mal tocada solo por que la toca segovia

[Ugallardo]

@chicomusico1 Busca la version que si es de Segovia. Este NO es Segovia. Parecere un obsesivo pero me molesta que se ensucie el nombre de semejante maestro...

[chicomusico1]

lo calificaria negativo si no supiera que es andres segovia pero en realidad quitando el nombre del interprete,la interpretacion es muy sucia se que muchos me ban a reputiar pero nimodo es la verdad

[antipuc1]

@chicomusico1 jajaaj sucia no creo  ahh si la tocas mejor sube un video tuyo ps para apreciar tu talento

[ivnest]

Me demuestras que no sabes escuchar música. La interpretación está llena de talento y sentimiento, más allá de los errores. Pulir la técnica es sólo una etapa del camino pero, ni mucho menos, la meta final...Te regalo una interpretación perfecta y limpia, por un corazón lleno de experiencia y errores. De la misma manera que una maquina nunca podría llegar a acariciar las cuerdas de una guitarra, en el tempo e intensidad en que lo hace el corazón humano.Tienes mucho que aprender de los errores...

[alterius18]

@chicomusico1 No se si reconocer tu valor o lamentar tu ignorancia. No me sorprendería que fueras alumno de Juan Carlos Laguna o algún otro esbirro de los exiliados por Segovia. Me da la impresión que idolatras los sonidos que salen de tu estereo, y que fueron supereditados antes de salir a la luz pública. Quizá si te animas a escuchar música viva tu definición de "limpieza" evolucione un poco. Saludos.

[mikedatigah]

I would just like to know who the two humans were that actually hit dislike to this so I can know who I should best try to avoid in life.

BRAVO Andres... There was only one like you. Although I love Bream and WIlliams, you sir were and still are the watermark that all aim for.

[gabrielacarneiro]

No hay igual.

[pandafvk]

Que chinguen a su madre los dos imbeciles que calificaron negativo a este señoron pinches hijos de malamierda !!!!!!!!!

[CashWiley]

My favorite version thanks to the expressiveness on the fast descending run that is too often just played fast, without the variance for expression. Once again Segovia shows why he is the master and Master Tarrega smiled upon him.

[ironman0594]

some one should tab for 1:04

[Miniarteseros]

@ironman0594 It's really easy, i will do a tutorial to play this song soon, =)

[euglicemia]

el maestro en persona , Andres y sus manos de seda , acariciando las bellas cuerdas de la Guitarra Acustica valenciana , con la elegancia y ritmo de la proficiencia compositora Tarregana , que bella musica , aun con tus manitas gordas Andres , no hay quien como tu .

[ALFONSOJON]

MUCHAS GRACIAS ANDRES POR TU MUSICA, TU LE ENSENASTE AL MUNDO COMO TOCAR LA GUITARRA CLASICA. GRACIAS ANDRES!

[halan2008]

@ALFONSOJON Pero la pieza no es de Segovia

[saifulden79]

Segovia Explain the spirit of "Capricho Arabe"

He have make it shine like the sun sometimes and at other times he make it like the flow of fresh water

Thank you Andres Segovia

[CntrBrdr]

love capricho
