Andrés Segovia (Master Class 1965)

[OLIVIASEVILLE555]

It's hard to explain in english how amazing Segovia truly is.

[classicalguitarfav]

What is the name of the piece after Chaconne?

[DealMartClassical]

All your classical needs in one spot, check out ECG: dealmart.greatwebmalls[dot]com

[thalassa9]

Awesome!

[absoluteGODhatred]

how can anyone dislike this?

[sillybabybunnies]

my mother booked him once, and met him, obviously. she told me he had the biggest fingers she ever saw.

[ESD2814GLC]

@sillybabybunnies Segovia's hands blow my mind. I often feel my fingers are too fat and big when playing smaller instruments like many electric axes, but a classical neck feels huge to me. Still, his look like they SHOULD be crammed on a classic neck like mine are on a short scale Fender Mustang (an obvious example of a guitar that feels "crowded" to me.So precise. The all time master, and the man who is WHY those necks are so big...damn, pass me my Strat or my SG...

[sillybabybunnies]

@ESD2814GLC

not that I am any kind of expert on guitars or playing them, but I feel fairly strongly that you should probably NOT be attempting to compare yourself to this dude.

probably only leads to trouble

cheers and Happy Hollidays

[ottawadrummer]

It is a very a hard to explaina in Englisha...How do you say... "quita now you are a hopeless".

[5stringofFernandoSor]

Simply the GREATEST guitarist that ever walked the face of the earth, on so many different levels. If it weren't for Segovia, rock n' roll would be played on fiddles.

[MikeBsMovies]

banana-hands

[TheVampireSteve]

I'm waiting for Segovia to say "That was shit. Do you even know what a guitar is? Go play a piano, you pussy."

[TheMusik1981]

hahahaha 2:12 The pupil which are playing is Debussy. Look one of his pictures in google, please hahaha

[McSpiffy88]

@TheMusik1981 He does look like him.. except Debussy would have been 103 years old at the time of this recording, being born in 1862.

[TheMusik1981]

@McSpiffy88 I thought that everybody would know that it is a joke, but I can see that not everybody. Obviously everybody knows that Debussy died in 1918 ¬¬.

[McSpiffy88]

@TheMusik1981 I'm sorry, I have mistaken you for another yt asshole. :)

[flatforlife]

@4.30 does anybody knows the song or is it by her own?

love the melody

[iguin23]

Eu gostaria de ser aluno dele porque ele é ótimo!

[TheMikelbaigo]

buen ejemplo de como destruir a BACH.........

[TCSXperience]

2:59

[mattsuzo]

like all master classes, it is the person who is giving the class who is the temporary judge of what is right or wrong, in their eyes...

Much of how Segovia played and interpreted things was not right in my eyes, but viva la difference! We need all sorts in this life :)

[Ugallardo]

Ojala nunca hubiera visto esto...que viejo gruñon era Segovia -_-

[abajai]

who's the student playing last?

[guitarismysword1]

even his students are virtuoso

[davidtheguitarman]

ha! it would be great to have him as a guitar teacher!!

[galo643]

como se llama esa obra

[omarsabbath95]

@galo643

la del principio es la chacona de bach

[galo643]

@omarsabbath95 a ok gracias la voya buscar

[somespareid]

Yelling abuse at that guy was not right.

[asskickerfoo]

What are the names of these pieces, anyone?

[johnangelo13]

[lusilolo]

...LOS BUENOS MAESTROS NO REGAÑAN, CON DISCIPLINA SE APRENDE PERO JAMAS CON RIGIDEZ.

[omarsabbath95]

@lusilolo

si hay muchos maestros magistrales bien mierdas, Oscar Ghiglia es un maestro serio pero divertido y corrige pero jamas regaña

[3590zidane]

segovia the best, his sound is perfect

[grundelman]

[321Dbale123]

I would be so afraid to make a mistake or even buzz a note in this guy's class..

[TheSirFS]

[VhankVryheid]

[seripigari1976]

Seguramente antes de empezar a tocar lepido perdón al maestro, tomo mi guitarra y la quiebro.

[dragoonsk]

ehehe it is true ablasse ! Nice

[fredquin68]

Bravo maestro!!!!pero una cosa es cierta....no me gustaria estar ahi sentado esperando a que me llame,pueden suceder dos cosas :o salis super contento como artista luego que el maestro te dio el ok!!!o te pasa lo que le paso a Chapdelaine....lo demolio!!!!!

[5Spekter]

utube is truely a gift to us musicians who use this tool properly.

[JusticierodelYuTube]

A Great teacher !

[ShadowCloud143]

Does anybody have a list of the songs they are playing?

[Ninearm]

Segovia did for guitar what Garry Kasperov did for chess.

[JBnotthescotch]

"I am not a friend of portamentos but this one should be done because in the guitar it may sound better than in any other instrument"

Segovia understood what the guitar was and wasn't.

"in this lack of respect (for the rhythm) you may define the good artist and the bad artist"

[Explosiveelm]

2:56 lol

[cheynov]

He was the GOD of the guitar!!!....and still is...

[LengyelNandor]

What is he playing at 0:58? : )

[andrewkennedymusic]

Great player, awful teacher

[2kool4myskool]

One of the early pioneers who transformed the spanish guitar into an instrument of immense popularity. In this video he was quite old and in his early days the guitar was just a curiosity, but exhibition after exhibition the guitar began to attract legions of fans, a true visionary.

[Eckoez1]

ancient jedi training

[lynyrdhead]

1:02, guy in the back looks like bill nye the science guy

[Groove1993]

i would be nervous if i should play infront of master

[elrockerchido]

Malditos Afortunados. Mira que tomas clases de Segovia wow

[emielvanegdom]

The prince of guitar and guitarists....

I would be a different player without this man.

What class, what style.

What musicianship.

He shaped us all...

Thank you MAestro Segovia

[emielvanegdom]

The prince of guitar and guitarists....

I would be a different player without this man.

What class, what style.

What musicianshap.

He shaped us all...

[MrPeggyo]

They are being respectful

A lost art

[xenosoldier]

It reminds me of sculptors when they speak of "finding" the statue within the marble slab. It's like he is finding and carving out the true music from the notes.

[MrMagneto79]

¡¡MAESTRO!!

[konstinagaev]

could someone please tell me what the 4th one is playing? :)

thx in advance!

[pullupboy]

stop. dont look at thee finger or you will miss all that heavenly gloreeeeey

[Shenanigasm]

Lack of respect for the.. what did he say?? It almost sounded like rhythm.. anyone know?

[MrBobcat1963]

@Shenanigasm segovia say's the lack of respect for the rhythm, he means you have to play a little 'around' the rhythm, & that can be in a good manner or a bad manner & there you see the difference between a good and a bad musician...

[Shenanigasm]

@MrBobcat1963 thats what i thought he said.. thanks bud

[rabc85]

@MrBobcat1963 I could not understand it at first but now it makes perfect sense. Segovia was referring to the open spaces and flexibility that the guitar posses.Choosing the right notes and silences that can be used around rhythms.Thank you so much

[phildoughty]

If only he could be my Master - I'd let him do anything to me... Hmmm Master

[Shenanigasm]

@phildoughty creepy..

[trmn8rusa]

Is that Liona Boyd at the end of the clip?

[carlosfelipe5150]

I would do anything for him to be my master. 

[EmptyUtopia]

which song was played by the girl around 430?

[juiceterry67]

If Classical guiar was the force, Segovia would be Obi wan kenobi.

[4tt1]

Can anyone tell me what's the composition called when the woman starts playing on "04:31" ?

[PedSet]

@4tt1 Its Variations sur les Folies d'Espagne et fugue -Variation 16 called "Moderato"

[4tt1]

@PedSet Thanks a lot

[PedSet]

@4tt1 no problem, :D i have uploaded the song on my channel :D

[Hypnus9]

What an intelligent man Segovia was! Rightfully called the Maestro!!! Bravo!

[DrSketch01]

Segovia just tells him off at 2:59

[ZeDudzProdutions117]

does anyone know te piece in the beging of the video

[culturehorse]

@ZeDudzProdutions117 ...Bach Chaconne dm (;

[DavePazz]

The piece at 4:00 is by Manuel Ponce, the final movement of his barouque-style suite.

[19Gui86]

incredible..

[g4aaaa]

those kids are disciplined

[adrianslilmusic]

any1 knows the name of the song 4:40!??!?

[bluetiltstudio]

Does anyone know the name and composer of the piece at around 4:00. I learnt it years ago and need to find the music so i can relearn it. thanks

[er6789er]

It's like Plato trying to teach logic to his students - brilliant!

[kylerrandolph]

This guy is the brilliant man who taught one of my teacher Andrej Mentschukoff, who is an amazing guitar player i may add.

[noazarkle]

Contrary to aesthetics my arse.If such outbursts of arrogance were commonplace,I can easily understand why the"maestro" both had contempt for folk music and disliked Barrios.Also why John Williams is'nt amongst the legions of his totally uncritical admirers,many of whom do the guitar no favours in their gushing delight that it is now more-or-less accepted as worthy of acceptance amongst the"classical" cognoscenti.

[newjustice1212]

andres is the man

[EpicPoseidonBeard]

i wish i was there

[spyRG]

@EpicPoseidonBeard yeees, I wish I was there too. Being near master like him is honor.

[Za7a7aZ]

Why does Segovia always look like a granddaddy....Are there any clips or pictures of him before 30? Or are we then in the middle-ages? He listens and plays anything these guys are playing....this genius certainly left his mark on this planet....for all time in human history.

[Grouchomx]

I think if I were in this position in front of the Master, I'd be too busy shitting my pants to play anything!

[josh1111111111111100]

and this lack of respect for the rythm, you may define the good artist and the bad artist...PWND.

[PersianTunedPiano]

Great set of clips and very educational. Thank you so much for posting.

[jjbenn35]

What a Teacher, Wish I had one as good.

[LuisznOliveira]

go study abroad

[Jeano1965]

You could go to Hawaii and try to get Charo to teach you!

[ablasse]

hehe every time i see this video i can see that Segovia's students are pretty much afraid of him lol. Ah what a Genius

[Kramnosnits]

@ablasse *haha* .. yes... afraid of being made to look small and foolish in the eyes of the other students. Oh well. Everyone gets their turn at humility.

[Explosiveelm]

@ablasse According to John Williams, there was a constant atmosphere of fear in the classes.

[LucasGonzalezTube]

@ablasse They seem like that because he was not a very patient man.

[sinphonyh]

2:56 Se cabreo Mr. Magoo!!!

[Guitarsolo09]

alguien sabe donde puedo conseguir la traduccion de este video?????

[shahruledree]

thank you for uploading this video! its give a new perspective of music for me... ;D

[OtherIsso]

ahahahah grande grande :D como me gustaria estar en esa epoca... musica real...

[miltonclasic]

maestro andres te musica suena en el cielo

[aaaslayer]

what's the piece played at 4:08?? can someone please help?? gracias

[valer78]

@aaaslayer Manuel Maria Ponce: Suite en la mineur, Gigue. Written in the style of the lutenist Sylvius Leopold Weiss (1686-1750).

[jc55]

Thankyou valer78. Do you know where it is possible to listen to a full version of it? It sounds amazing.

[123si4]

what's the piece that the girl's playing? sounds good

[ZeDudzProdutions117]

does anyone know the piece on 1:00

[aaaslayer]

the piece on 1:00 is Sonata K.11 by Domenico Scarlatti

[Elhijodekrakatoa]

muchas gracias por compartir este clip.

Thank you very much for sharing this clip.

The diference of th lack of respect for the rythm is the key.

[luis22880]

whats the name of the song ghiglia plays

[roninbonin1]

holy crap this is fukn intense.

[otrousuariomass]

Hay cosas q son intransferibles, la sensibilidad en las interpretaciones de Segovia son irremplazables, gracias master!

[otrousuariomass]

El mas grande

[scottycanes]

My God, this guy was ancient in the 1960's! I love this dinosaur though.

[usermack]

carajo no lo tinen en español

[Guitarsolo09]

@usermack correcto si lo podes conseguir me avisas porfa..

[xxsamhalnxx]

anyone know the name of the piece at 4:08 ?

[Rexicano]

Hey!

They cut the part where Segovia said;

Are you confused?

Comma backa my Hotel Rooma anda I splain in all to you my child.

[chopsddy3]

In answer to ulbrandt's question; the second players piece is ..Sonata K.11 by Domenico Scarlatti

[mooxD]

the second guy with the beard that is :)

[mooxD]

I would love to know what piece that is too,

ulbrandt. It sounds amazing, anyone know!?

[Estonianwoodsman]

Did he just diss that girl at the end?

[ChocloManx]

I think so, why was she laughing?

[tsaxfreak]

@Estonianwoodsman oh yeah he did. called her a "bad artist."

[Estonianwoodsman]

that's what i thought. He did it indirectly though. What a dick...a dick that gave us those lame ass segovia scales and all of those stupid bach transcriptions. Oh wait, those are good.

[ThreesecondHero]

@tsaxfreak No, he did not call her a bad artist, he was trying to explain to a student the difference between a good artist and a bad one -- a good one has a certain "delicate" lack of respect" for the 'metronomic' rhythm, resulting in rhythmic nuance.  He was trying to teach her and the others how to be 'good' artists.

[ulbrandt]

what is the name of the second piece played by the student with the beard? it is beautiful

[GuitarAleksey]

Студенты звучат лучше Сеговии.

[intershull]

Yes, but Segovia is very old in 1965 :-(

[l4m3i3r41n]

A master such as Segovia will always demand the best of his students. Why is it hard to stomach that students will fail. Like a wandering horse off the trail, the rider must coax the animal back to the path. I'm sure that the segment about the student not allowing the note to sing is not an isolated incident. Look at how he treats the other students mistakes; calm and collected. It may seem that the master sees an apprentice who does not appreciate or recognize where he has brought himself.

[Rexicano]

No no no;

he's just harder on Latinos.

He can really let it fly in Spanish so h e gets into it for his people.

Gringos would get freaked geting yelled at...out but it's expected from any good student to come into conflict with Teacher sooner or later.

[WithTheLightsOut]

Granted, he's a very good guitarist. If he finds someone to be hopeless, it's rather wrong to make fun of them and yell at them in front of an entire group of people--it is the master class, but to call someone a bad artist when it takes a lot of skill to even get to that level says a lot about the guy.

[yoyodunno]

Ana Vidovic FTW.

[tsulawmn]

Segovia may have been a hard task master and as some may say a bit arrogant. He demanded his student always respect the instrument and for the music to be played correctly. At that level of learning you either step up to the plate or go home which makes perfect sense to me.

[ersemola]

hey with the girl is nice with the man not... old pervert..

[Sebastian1633]

I sure admire what he did for the guitar. However, his success went up to his head, and he became an asshole. You can be self-disciplined without being a tyrant. You can demand from your students excellence without having to scream at them. If you tell your students or your kids that they are no good, in the end that's what's going to happen. You can be a leader without being a jerk. You can be dominant and have charisma at the same time. He was a good guitar player, that's it.

[pabletediaz]

poor ignorant...

[maxhiner699]

Aww man, he's such an asshole, lol.

[navino1973]

Surely He is a Giant of the guitar , but He looks an arrogant teacher to me :)

[bagelace]

i whish he was my master....

[TheNecrosuN]

@bagelace Hes my great great grandfather. :)

[LTDGuitars420]

@TheNecrosuN Youve left a comment on every one of these videos, and I still dont believe you.

[sesukesh]

@bagelace me too

[guitarrmasta]

can anyone tell me the name of the song at 0:56... ive heard it in my friends ipod but the title only says scarlatti sonata

[raimundodesousa]

Que coisa incrível!!!

O que será que ele ouve que os comuns nao conseguem captar??

Um velho ja nos 70 anos com um ouvido perfeito.

A atenção da turma...

Não era só talento e gênio, era mestre e tudo mais...

Vídeo pra ser visto várias vezes...

[sedberg1]

There's a lot of excellent players out there but what separates the inspired from the great are the way players interpret the music. Inspired geniuses (Segovia) are able to put a certain emotion into their interpretation that another player who can simply play the notes.

[vsvaa]

se imaginan haberlo tenido de maestro

[ranchero1199boy]

NO! daria un millon, de lo k sea, por eso!

[zlinkguza]

now, maybe them ( the aprentice ) have been a grandma and grandpa..

hahaha.. lol

[WizardLHS]

3:10, i think he was swearing in spanish.......

[guitarrmasta]

kind of... hes basically saying that the student sucks and cant get the song right :D

[theanswer00]

ghiglia is the best!

[websyndicate1]

I enjoyed this video immensely because my classical teacher in college in 1969 had been in Segovia's Master Class, could have been this very one because the time frame is about right. And, I felt every bit as nervous when studying under him as these guys appear in front of Segovia because he was quite demanding as well.

[ingenjoe1]

don't let ur arm hair show....... cuz its gross....4:18

[Dundasholes]

Segovia was the First Simon Cowell!!!!

[Parnell50]

Whatever happened to Christopher Parking...i think that was his last name

[adrianslilmusic]

any1 knows the name of the song 4:30?

[trueart24]

what would an orchestra sound like if everyone played the music the way they "interpreted?" You can interpret the meaning of music the way you want but you want to play the piece the way the composer intended wouldn't you?

[thinkfaster]

@trueart24 You can be sure that every conductor and every soloist interprets the music they play. We have no recordings of Baroque music to reference, and the scores often included vast swaths of scant notation intended to be the basis for improvisation. Even todays tuning standard doesn't match up to how music was often played as recently as 80 years ago.

[19Gui86]

@trueart24

i wouldnt, personally

[fetacheese900]

@trueart24 I think there is the possibility of the composer being clueless as to what his or her composition meant to him or her, and some meaning may be found or the original meaning (if one does exist) may be enriched if dynamic or rhythmic departures from convention (the process of "interpretation" as I understand it) are allowed to take place. And therein lies the importance of such departures. I think it is also possible that these are more feasible in solo music. Does this sound plausible?

[trueart24]

@fetacheese900 I'm not arguing that someone can't interpret the music the way that they want to, I'm just saying that it seems to me that an orchestra should perform the music the way the composer may have intended, in order to sound like one cohesive unit. if everybody in an orchestra played with rhythmic quirks, i don't know if the sound would be as unified. i'm not really an expert so i could be way off the mark

[GyveTurckee]

@trueart24 The orchestra follows the maestro's instructions of his interpretation of the music. In solo guitar, you are the maestro AND the orchestra. Your fingers (orchestra) don't do any individual interpretation, they follow the command of your mind (maestro) and its interpretation. ALL good music is interpreted as such.
