it´s a magic song... andres segovia thank you for more than 90 years of mystic and magic musik on guitar! i hope people will think for you in 100 years!
RESPECT to the GREAT Andres Segovia. In my opinion, he is one of the creators of the glory of the guitar! Don't say anything about him until you make the minimum of what he did. In this video is too old to play perfect so don't judge him so strictly...
The master. Young players must realize what makes masters masters. Masters time never fades. Sounds change and music evolves but what it takes to be a master is eternal.
Reluctantly, I will admit that the first time I heard this song (now my favorite) I thought I was listening to 2 people because I was 'certain' there was a backup guitarist playing one part and a soloist playing another. People I have exposed this song to now love it! Segovia, we will miss you BIG TIME!
I remember this on the BBC in the 80's - hauntingly beautiful..... but 230 people dont like this - do they have turd running through their veins or are they from Mars?
@pelorus68 They are completely fucking irrelevant...............this is far beyon everything made on this little rock called Earth...do not regret to lisaten to this during the Apocalypse
First song I learnt in class..a more basic version obviously..still play it today..The had showed us EXACTLY this clip..I've looking for it since I was 18 years old ! Just found it..Props to this guy.
Among Segovia's last students were Eliot Fisk & Michael Daily. Michael, whose first national tour was at age 14, also studied with Pepe Ramero. My son is fortunate to have spent the last 4 years and continues to be under Daily's tutelage. Now a junior as a college music major, he performs far above his years and competes with the doctorial students. Andres' legacy lives on. As for this performance, though admittedly not Segovia's best, still demonstrates his mastery of phrasing and cadence.
My Dad passed away 8 years ago on the 26th of December and Segovia was his classical guitar role model. My Dad also handmade 7 classical guitars himself, one of which I am a proud owner of.
@wowbobwow37 I enjoyed listening to this although I cant say im a real classical fan, I did enjoy your story about your fathers guitars, sounds like you have a family treasure there
@robyrobot When did you first hear of Segovia? He is still basically unknown except to guitarists, and I do like him. But, see comment below about Robert Johnson, then start thinking about Elmore James, Buddy Guy, Hendrix, SRV, Page, Clapton.
Fine dining is still basically unknown to people who eat meat pies in pubs too, but it's always existed. It's disappointing that you think he's unknown. Kind of the same way I'm disappointed when someone puts ketchup on fillet Mignon.
Anybody can argue about the greatest rock and roll guitarist and never get anywhere. However Segovia is the father of guitar. None of those musicians you argue about would play the way they do had it not been for Andres. Somebody will always have a different opinion of who the greatest metal and or rock and roll guitarist is. The fact is Segovia created the platform for all of them. Guitar would still be a background instrument had it not been for him, he's flawless and the most skilled. Done.
@KOTHVETTE406 Segovia had nothing to do with the development of blues or rock--Robert Johnson is the central creative force behind both styles of music--his licks, chord progressions, note selection, and style started it all--- Jimmy Page and Robert Plant didn't go to the crossroads in Mississippi and bring home a jar of dirt for nothing-- they knew, as all great blues/traditional rock guitarists do, that it was his guitar mastery that inspired it all.
You know Segovia taught John Williams? And do you know how old he is in this video? He must have some amount of arthritis in his hands, and yet he still manages to play this piece (which is a very difficult piece to play) at an amazing standard. He's awesome :D
After reading comments, and listening to other variations of this on YouTube, I don't think any of them have a damn thing on this version. What it lacks in fire and technique, it more than makes up for in emotion and probably about 80 years of feeling and experience. Absolutely beautiful.
@AngelOfMercyMillan I know that you jackass I was just admireing his classicness and how dope he is ... You ass , I never said other music wasn't good
When it comes to this man comparisons are just worthless! He is the Alpha and Omega of classical guitar..the inventor of techniques used today by everybody else. the one who put the classical guitar where it is now. how can anybody else can be compared to that?
all other classical guitar players play standing on the shoulders of this man...it is as simple as that..
I dont think anyone has realized this but Segovia is playing in the cold you can see his breath. I dont know if anyone has played in the cold before but it is EXTREMELY tough, your joints and fingers are tense. Even if you warm them up before. This some pimp shit right here.
@Todzumpapst That's not his breath, that's the reflection from the water. It doesn't degrade the performance any--I hope I'm half the player he is when I'm that age.
I first heard this in the early 80s and did not belive that there was was just one man playing.
It fascinated me so much,that I began to look deeper into Andreas Segovia..everything I learned,made me Respect this man more,he must be the greatest Spanish Classical Guitarist...His fingers speak out to me...
how can this only have 2.8 million views.... this is true music and Andres segovia is an artist.... not lil wayne or 50 cent or 'lady gaga'.... what has this world come to... so angry... want to kill
all you jerks saying that one person is better than another, This is Andres Segovia, This guy was the father, of classical guitar, he created the standards, for classical guitar. let me type that agian CREATED the standards, even so "@rollboxmaster your right no one is better than another. But this is Segovia, show the man some respect
Although Segovia is compared with other guitarists, his main difference lies in the history. Becoming the man who makes classic guitar a solo instrument.
I have the same last name as Andres. It would be totally awesome if I found out I was related to this guy. He's was a true artist with pure artistic talent.
How ironic is life. To get good at guitar, you must practice, thus, old age comes with more practice. However, the older you get the less nimble you are, thus, that increase in skill is only used to combat the decrease in nimbleness. If one could practice and gain skill without losing nimbleness, who knows what we may achieve.
Ah, Segovia. He is much maligned now a days. But in his time he was considered to be the master among masters. When I play this piece I try to match his interpretation. He used to say that sometimes what was required was a gentle disregard for the rhythm. As this piece was originally written for piano, it is extremely unforgiving on the guitar. But taking his advice, it seems to really come alive in a way that Albéniz likely would have appreciated. Thanx for posting this masterpiece. :3
@iasonasx sure this guy was good, but there are younger players that were better. I mean, just because Liszt was good at piano doesn't mean he is going to be the best there ever will be.
People that are saying that many other players sound much better than him and his playing is not contorting to your standards then take a look at his age.
The man in this video is how old and still playing wonderfully
His Mistakes are not mistakes these are signs of his aged playing over time.
@Rosieisapunk1200 They play two completely different styles and are both very accomplished players, so it is very hard to compare. I would say segovia is better simply because he is seems to have more skills under his belt.
@401Nero Thanks for clearing that up man. Alot of trash talkers on the web trying to diminish the skill of classical guitarists who i've read are musically precise and theoretical in their art. Nothnig against Jazz, but these guys study music like a science.
@IdontneedanIpod thats because hendrix was a sloppy blues rock guitarist
people have their tastes in music but you should never let that get in the way
technically comparing hendrix's sloppy solos to any proffessional level classical guitar player is absolutely fucking stupid especially when we are talking about the man who made the guitar recognized enough to be taught in universities in the first place and also credited as dignifying the guitar as a legitamate concert instrument!
@joelakastud123 Ok I didn't realise that you were bad-mouthing Hendrix, And I think that Segovia had reached the pinaccle of playing but calling Hendrix sloppy is just idiotic, Hendrix and Segovia had reached the Zenith of what was possible on the guitar and had revolutionised the way everyone in the world played, but to compare them It just isn't possible. I respect that you love clasical music, but to bad-mouth other legends of the Instrument is stupid.
@IdontneedanIpod its very obvious you have no playing experience otherwise you would know the difference and also what it sounds like when you squeak almost all of you notes he was sloppy and overrated sorry its the truth get over it
@joelakastud123 Its very obvious you know nothing about Hendrix and you have nothing to base your assuptions on and you Have no room in your pathetic little world for someone who admires both Classical and Modern Styles of guitar. You also seem to misunderstand and think that I believe this Is easy, Segovia's playing Is nothing less than incredible, but you make it seem like I have never played classical before, I am not a master like some people but I do know what it takes.
@IdontneedanIpod first of ur full of it like i will never believe you have ever picked up a guitar because you lack the knowledge of even the most basic guitarists, second ever heard of yngwie malmsteen or steve vai? apparently not if you still think jimi hendrix is the zenith of guitar! what a fuckin joke
@joelakastud123 I thought a little politeness would get through your thick troll skull but I see that you are musically retarded. I knew you would result in a naming guitarists, Malmsteen and Vai? Your'e not even reaching into the top ten greatest guitarists of all time. I seem to recall a time when Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Ray Vaughn did a tribte to jimi Hendrix, even they were smart enough to see Hendrix as the Pinacle of the possiblities of guitar. You're Under 14 aren't you.
@IdontneedanIpod listen i respect hendrix's influences as much as the next
but saying he is the pinacle of guitar? have you really payed close attention to his playing? if taht were true i would throw my guitar away because i have already mastered all that there is to know whether i was 10, 30 or whatever it doesnt make a difference som1 practicing blues atleast a year or so could easily master his technique seriously how are seriously saying this shit? i cant even believe it!
@joelakastud123 Good little troll you only swore once, Reading you're last comment I'm begining to think you've never touched an Instrument, I can not understand that someone who playes the guitar and listens to Segovia dosn't admire the pure genius of Hendrix. Hendrix is no more sloppy than Segovia is. What I can't believe is you brought those other amatures into this.
@IdontneedanIpod i see no link but ive seen plenty enough of his sloppy scales
scales look harder then they are try plucking out the bar cords on asturias! if you learn scales youl find yourself shredding them fast in NO TIME! its pretty obvious you are dead set on the idea his technique is the zenith even after know who steve vai and malmsteen is just look up his solo tabs and learn it yourself and see how difficutlt the zenith of technique really is then try to learn vai or yngwie
@joelakastud123 Youv'e never tried to play Hendrix, I doubt weather you have even handled a guitar before. Malmsteen and Vai are two inferior jokes. And by the way TABS? you must be joking, all Malmsteen has is speed, no feeling. Vai uses playback loops in his concert because it is to hard for him and its not just for effect. To utter their names in the same sentence as Hendrix is a joke.
@IdontneedanIpod go look in my feed i commented on a lesson video its so simple he doesnt even need to explain he just playes it close to the camera and you can keep up easily
after that try to learn any malmsteen solo.
that is the only way i can get my point across i think the solo i commented on was along the watchtower
@joelakastud123 Think Malmsteen and Vai are fast? No. Go try this or Shawn Lane he will piss any shredder completely out using no sweep picking with coherent scales not simple entry level shit. "Idontneedanipod" has a point. All along the watchtower is a Bob Dylan song you dolt. No kidding it's not difficult to play on guitar. Try "Hear my train a comin' live" for a Hendrix song. Post the vid then we can all laugh at you while we play DOPELHALEN oh excuse me STEVE VAI with our dicks.
@IdontneedanIpod you are dumb malmsteen having no feeling and vai sucking. I dont think you have ever heard of music theory. Malmsteen is probably the most skilled guitarist ever. Malmsteen played classical you dont like it fine. If you really think hendrix was better than malmsteen and vai then i wanna know what you are smoking. what next you gonna say hendrix better than Page and angus young, or maybe even EVH. What did hendrix do that was sooooo special.
You need to understand context. Hendrix revolutionized what it meant to be a guitar player. No one played like that before him. He started the whole guitar god thing. All those guys you listed just perfected what Hendrix started.
@IdontneedanIpod i agree with almost everything you've said...but saying malmsteen is "just speed",i do not agree with that.Being that fast it's something to acknowledge not to look down on.
@IdontneedanIpod I'm not a huge fan of either Vai or Malmsteen but to say anything is too (yes too with two o's not 1) hard for Vai must be a joke. I'm not gonna fight much for Malmsteen but I'm sure he's a hell of a lot better than you in every aspect including feeling. Hendrix was revolutionary but to say he is in anyway more talented than Steve Vai I think is pretty ridiculous.
@IdontneedanIpod ... i think you're wrong dude especialy about malmsteen he uses a lot of knowledge and feelings for the songs that he has made and played ...take a look to his live concert in japan with the philarmonic orchestra...i think you should open your mind about modern and neoclassical music
Estoy hasta las pelotas de la gente que dice que la obra es más rápida porque Willims la toca así. Habeis leido las notas de Isaac Albeniz?" moderato alegro, segun recuerdo los campos y la gente, las calles y el mar. mientras las lagrimas llegan a mis ojos" está en el libreto de foscanni y explica el porque de los cambios en la ejecución.
@dmarzio absolutamente tienes toda la razon amigo, moderato alegro, la velocidad es perfecta, nadie le puede enseñar al maestro Segovia y a su barroco exquisito y lleno de armonia.
@dmarzio podrias darme datos mas concretos del libreto que mencionas o como poderlo conseguir, es muy importante para los que nos dedicamos a la musica el tener bien estos datos para poderlos transmitir en cada interpretacion de las obras.
Music is a very subjective artform. Lots of great players demonstrate completely different styles on a given piece. To say definitively that one is "better" than the other when you're talking about players like Segovia, Vidovic, Liona Boyd, or John Williams is very wrong in my book. Each interprets the piece and puts a living soul into those guitars in a different way. Asturias is a beautiful fiery piece, but also remember a good fire doesn't always have to be a roaring one.
@rollboxmaster well said! . I believe if you just listen to all interpretations not critically but as the beauty it represents then you have then been blessed. I hope music touches everyones soul the way it has for the artists that play them. Neil Young I heard once say that artists only interpret what the creator of the music originally wrote.
MAESTRO! I'm learning this play! AWESOME!!!

He used to say that sometimes what was required was a gentle disregard for the rhythm. As this piece was originally written for piano, it is extremely unforgiving on the guitar. But taking his advice, it seems to really come alive in a way that Albéniz likely would have appreciated. Thanx for posting this masterpiece. :3

@iasonasx sure this guy was good, but there are younger players that were better. I mean, just because Liszt was good at piano doesn't mean he is going to be the best there ever will be.

People that are saying that many other players sound much better than him and his playing is not contorting to your standards then take a look at his age.

@Rosieisapunk1200 They play two completely different styles and are both very accomplished players, so it is very hard to compare. I would say segovia is better simply because he is seems to have more skills under his belt.

@IdontneedanIpod thats because hendrix was a sloppy blues rock guitarist
people have their tastes in music but you should never let that get in the way
technically comparing hendrix's sloppy solos to any proffessional level classical guitar player is absolutely fucking stupid especially when we are talking about the man who made the guitar recognized enough to be taught in universities in the first place and also credited as dignifying the guitar as a legitamate concert instrument!
joelakastud123 1 month ago
@joelakastud123 Ok I didn't realise that you were bad-mouthing Hendrix, And I think that Segovia had reached the pinaccle of playing but calling Hendrix sloppy is just idiotic, Hendrix and Segovia had reached the Zenith of what was possible on the guitar and had revolutionised the way everyone in the world played, but to compare them It just isn't possible. I respect that you love clasical music, but to bad-mouth other legends of the Instrument is stupid.

@joelakastud123 Its very obvious you know nothing about Hendrix and you have nothing to base your assuptions on and you Have no room in your pathetic little world for someone who admires both Classical and Modern Styles of guitar. You also seem to misunderstand and think that I believe this Is easy, Segovia's playing Is nothing less than incredible, but you make it seem like I have never played classical before, I am not a master like some people but I do know what it takes.

@IdontneedanIpod first of ur full of it like i will never believe you have ever picked up a guitar because you lack the knowledge of even the most basic guitarists, second ever heard of yngwie malmsteen or steve vai? apparently not if you still think jimi hendrix is the zenith of guitar! what a fuckin joke
joelakastud123 1 month ago
@joelakastud123 I thought a little politeness would get through your thick troll skull but I see that you are musically retarded. I knew you would result in a naming guitarists, Malmsteen and Vai? Your'e not even reaching into the top ten greatest guitarists of all time. I seem to recall a time when Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Ray Vaughn did a tribte to jimi Hendrix, even they were smart enough to see Hendrix as the Pinacle of the possiblities of guitar. You're Under 14 aren't you.
IdontneedanIpod 1 month ago
@IdontneedanIpod listen i respect hendrix's influences as much as the next
but saying he is the pinacle of guitar? have you really payed close attention to his playing? if taht were true i would throw my guitar away because i have already mastered all that there is to know whether i was 10, 30 or whatever it doesnt make a difference som1 practicing blues atleast a year or so could easily master his technique seriously how are seriously saying this shit? i cant even believe it!
joelakastud123 1 month ago
@joelakastud123 Good little troll you only swore once, Reading you're last comment I'm begining to think you've never touched an Instrument, I can not understand that someone who playes the guitar and listens to Segovia dosn't admire the pure genius of Hendrix. Hendrix is no more sloppy than Segovia is. What I can't believe is you brought those other amatures into this.

@IdontneedanIpod i see no link but ive seen plenty enough of his sloppy scales
scales look harder then they are try plucking out the bar cords on asturias! if you learn scales youl find yourself shredding them fast in NO TIME! its pretty obvious you are dead set on the idea his technique is the zenith even after know who steve vai and malmsteen is just look up his solo tabs and learn it yourself and see how difficutlt the zenith of technique really is then try to learn vai or yngwie
joelakastud123 1 month ago
@joelakastud123 Youv'e never tried to play Hendrix, I doubt weather you have even handled a guitar before. Malmsteen and Vai are two inferior jokes. And by the way TABS? you must be joking, all Malmsteen has is speed, no feeling. Vai uses playback loops in his concert because it is to hard for him and its not just for effect. To utter their names in the same sentence as Hendrix is a joke.

@IdontneedanIpod go look in my feed i commented on a lesson video its so simple he doesnt even need to explain he just playes it close to the camera and you can keep up easily
after that try to learn any malmsteen solo.
that is the only way i can get my point across i think the solo i commented on was along the watchtower
joelakastud123 1 month ago
@joelakastud123 Think Malmsteen and Vai are fast? No. Go try this or Shawn Lane he will piss any shredder completely out using no sweep picking with coherent scales not simple entry level shit. "Idontneedanipod" has a point. All along the watchtower is a Bob Dylan song you dolt. No kidding it's not difficult to play on guitar. Try "Hear my train a comin' live" for a Hendrix song. Post the vid then we can all laugh at you while we play DOPELHALEN oh excuse me STEVE VAI with our dicks.

@IdontneedanIpod you are dumb malmsteen having no feeling and vai sucking. I dont think you have ever heard of music theory. Malmsteen is probably the most skilled guitarist ever. Malmsteen played classical you dont like it fine. If you really think hendrix was better than malmsteen and vai then i wanna know what you are smoking. what next you gonna say hendrix better than Page and angus young, or maybe even EVH. What did hendrix do that was sooooo special.

You need to understand context. Hendrix revolutionized what it meant to be a guitar player. No one played like that before him. He started the whole guitar god thing. All those guys you listed just perfected what Hendrix started.

@IdontneedanIpod i agree with almost everything you've said...but saying malmsteen is "just speed",i do not agree with that.Being that fast it's something to acknowledge not to look down on.

@IdontneedanIpod I'm not a huge fan of either Vai or Malmsteen but to say anything is too (yes too with two o's not 1) hard for Vai must be a joke. I'm not gonna fight much for Malmsteen but I'm sure he's a hell of a lot better than you in every aspect including feeling. Hendrix was revolutionary but to say he is in anyway more talented than Steve Vai I think is pretty ridiculous.

Music is a very subjective artform. Lots of great players demonstrate completely different styles on a given piece. To say definitively that one is "better" than the other when you're talking about players like Segovia, Vidovic, Liona Boyd, or John Williams is very wrong in my book. Each interprets the piece and puts a living soul into those guitars in a different way. Asturias is a beautiful fiery piece, but also remember a good fire doesn't always have to be a roaring one.

@rollboxmaster Very astute comment.
Some people do tone, or patterns etc, but Segovia explores every dimensional dynamic.
This is timeless!

@rollboxmaster well said! . I believe if you just listen to all interpretations not critically but as the beauty it represents then you have then been blessed. I hope music touches everyones soul the way it has for the artists that play them. Neil Young I heard once say that artists only interpret what the creator of the music originally wrote.
