Just amazing....I also like the Turibio Santos interpretation which I consder him the best Villa-Lobos interpreter ever, and for improvisation the Raphael Rabello version.
BTW, for some of the idiotic comments on Segovia and Villa-Lobos relationship was this or that, they were friends to the point that Villa-Lobos allowed Segovia to modify of his music, and that was actually published(just read some of the interview of Turibio Santos, and you should get a clear picture of their relationship).
towards the end of his life, segovia took a different approach to guitar. this is not him playing badly, just like music isn't supposed to be played EXACTLY as its written down. Segovia, being an interpretive artist understood this fundamental aspect of musicmanship and only you philistine bafoons with no ear for sound cant hear how hes making that bass howl
Theres no doubt that all the guitar players of the world owe much to Segovia, the actual guitar technic wouldnt exist without him, but still i doesnt like at all the way he plays any piece of Villa Lobos. In fact there are rumors that say that the segovias relation with Villa Lobos was in that time very troubled. There was a huge rivalry between the two and thats why Segovia had a very few repertoire of Villa Lobos.
I think segovia is one of the most domineering figures of the classical guitar. even though, in his later years, his technique and speed started to fade, his musicality was always there. I mean come on guys... the technique that you are practicing all back to segovia. It took him close to four years to utilize and perfect his technique for the guitar (although, lets be honest, all of us are always learning). i cant imagine the workload he must have had to do. so yeah really, guys... go practice.
And for all you trolls out there, segovia could have literally out played the ever living shit out of ana vidovic or barrueco. No question, the man had more technical prowess than any modern player. But playing fast is not in the slightest bit impressive, and if you think that is all music is about just stop playing
Funny, the people that say the most sh!t about Segovia are the least educated when it comes to classical guitar music, its difficulty, and how skilled Segovia was.
I played this for my university's music jury two hours ago. I believe I still have a while to go towards perfecting the etude, and watching the 90 year old grandfather of classical guitar is so inspiring for my improvement!
doesnt matter where you go tossers in every corner of the world making up for their small penises and the fact that they are no good at the guitar by taking a stab at Segovia ....grow up and get some taste .....pricks!!

Hi, Segovia is too old to play classical music. The new generation is better than the old one. Yes, Ana Vidovic plays very well. She is the best at our time.
@TheVangvang The new generation plays like MIDI files: quickly, w/o mistakes, and also w/o any real expression. One Segovia is worth more than the lot of them combined, and that's how history will record it. It's easy to play using all free strokes and keeping your right hand in one position, etc....

stupid old man shit his pants when he died. His fat fucking sausage fingers are like slugs fucking on the fretboard. Listen to someone good play this like ana vidovic. And she has tits. Segovia sucked when he was younger people and he really did shit his pants when he died.
@bobbycamp101 Everyone shits their pants when they die, idiot.
Segovia was most likely playing shit like this before Ana Vividoc's parents even met. I'd love to hear you, or even ANYONE you know play ANYTHING like this, let alone as well as Segovia did. There's more musical talent in the shit he dropped in his pants after death than in your whole fucking family tree.
Suck it, Troll. You can't even come up with a legitimate insult to the man.
@thisismyname45 i play this song and iv been playing for a year and a half. no not as well as him haha... not for a while but soon. he is the master!!!
Segovia was a huge man who dwarfed his instrument and his competitors.
He was the voice of classical guitar in the 20th century as Pablo Casals was for the Violoncello. Ignorance is no excuse for abusing him. The fact that people have surpassed him technically is yet another reason to admire him for single-handedly transforming the guitar into a sensation of the concert world. He was, and still is, the touchstone.
He's old here, cut some slack. Listen to some of the CBS Masterworks recordings. Nobody brings out a melody with such clarity and musicality as Segovia when he was in his day. Besides, he wasn't just a guitarist. He transcribed many great works and commissioned the great composers to write concert pieces for the guitar. That and 80 years of performing account for his legacy.
you have to play two bars in a row with the E minor chord and then two bars with the C7 chord, not alternate the two chords. And these are mistakes that do not involve AGE issues.
Other than that, I agree that Segovia was not a good guitarist in a technical sense (this, based on his 50s recordings, at the splendor of his career and abilities). People like Williams, Barrueco or the Assad brothers, went way beyond Segovia´s capacity. But people do not see it this way because of my initial lines.
With all respect to Segovia, to whom we owe the gift of Classical Guitar in massive concert halls and the spreading of a rainbow wide repertoire for the instrument, his version of this piece has several mistakes. First of all, he can´t take a rest with the E pedal each time he changes chords, this study was made to combine velocity (not robot playing, of course) with consistency. And second of all, in the end, according to HVLs writing,
@diegoarboli I know what you mean but there could never be velocity and consistency (or consistent velocity) in this piece. No guitarist could play (and Villa-Lobos could never have expected them to play) the central rise and descent at the same speed as the regular arpeggios. Segovia gives it an interesting and (in my view) a very musical performance.
@wagner1an It´s interesting what you say. Anyway, I say this because I found velocity and consistency together, and the lack of the bars mistake, in Manuel Barrueco´s studio version, which I advice you to listen if you can find it.
from all I saw, including that performance, Segovia is, compared to any popular guitarists, not really good. Maybe its because all the videos from him been take when he was old but the fact is the fact
This one is awesome composition from villa lobos and masterly played by Andres Segovia. Challenging arpeggio lesson and harmonics at the cadence is the real ornament. Great!
LFWOL and hitsugaya64 he IS NOT in his 90s here.. use your brains. he died in the 1980s. in his 90s. do you think the recording quality was like this right before his death AND in black n white...in the 1980s?? no. this was most likely shot in the 1940s-60s. if you want to see him really playing IN HIS 90s.. check out the the video by elduendecillo07. Common Sense :)
What happened with his guitars? He must have collected many over the years. I tried to google my question but got empty. What was his favorite, what make did he prefer...did he have signature models...and so on....
@6thStringPlayer Yeah,...YT member distortionDS1 told me to search for wikipedia and there was apicture to see of the guitar you mentioned. There are some other of his guitars on display there. Some must be worth a fortune not just because of their quality but also because they where Andres' guitars.
John williams said that todays music teaching is more focus on the technical part rather than the musical part. Ana Vidovic is an example, very good technical but still missing the soul that Segovia puts on each of the musics he plays.
potrodsas.... this is black and white. he died at 91 or something i believe. which was in 80s... so ur saying 70s fild equip was black n white.. no. he was 60s here maby 50s. gotta use ur noggin!
you should see ana vidovic's video.. she goes a little faster i think but i prefer this one because it feels better, its more musical, ana vidovic's sounds robotic.
i dont say things because other people think it.. just, the first time i heard this, it sounded like music, it had a feeling, a groove.. ana vidovic's just sounds monorythmic and more boring to me, even tho she masters it, and dont get me wrong, i really love ana vidovic, i just think this sond is much better interpretated by segovia
i know that noone wants to hear something against segovia, he is like a god for most of the guitarists, but technically and musically speaking ana vidovic's is much. if you ask why musically i simply believe that her interpretation is very insightful and she makes it sound like a big wave rising and descending.
that is true.. right after i did that comment saying she was robotic, i listened to her version, and i like it alot, it flows very well, im just saying, segovias version sounds more like a ''song''
yea and I don't say it is a bad version , that's also true. good to know that there are some people on youtube discussing and willing to listen to what other people say, like you do. nice to have met you, Fabian
hitsugaya he wasnt 90 here.. this is black and white.. considering he died in the 80s or 90s at the age of 92..?...(forggot) last time i checked there was color then. but still hes 50-70 at least here
This guy was fucking around his 90s when this was made. If this was recorded in his 20s, you probably would have quit guitar. In his 90s he could play the first etude, with his bones completely gone to shit and his muscles deteriorating. In his 20s he could probably play this with his pinky toe and a small Chinese boy without fingers fretting the guitar.
@hitsugaya64 Not much of that made sense but I know an undergraduate guitar player who plays this one faster and cleaner. And the only reason he "isn't that good" now is because he set the bar so high then and progression of any sort will naturally make things better so he is obsolete, for lack of a better word. Compare his playing to recent GFA winner Marcin Dylla's playing and you will see.
Segovia preferred Torroba, a fine composer, but hardly in the league of Rodrigo, whose best pieces more modern players have shown us to be among the finest creations. Segovia was conservative, his tastes grounded in the 19th century. Thank goodnes Bream came along to show that emotion was not just a Spanish virtue.
Interesting that, as good as Ponce´s music is, Villa-Lobos broke new ground with the guitar. Segovia never liked it, and I think the études didn´t really fit his moods, tastes or techniques as Ponce´s more conservative music, neo-classic and neo-romantic music. Segovia was always more for Ponce, Tansman and C. Tedesco, even though, next to V. Lobos, in termos of the guitar, they are far less important. Consider Rodrigo: Segovia didn´t record much of him either and Rodrigo was first rate.
not true. in fact Segovia said it couldn't be played (his pieces). So at on gathering villa lobos grabbed a guitar and played for him as proof they could.
Respeto a Segovia por su trabajo, pero es muy desafortunada su interpretación de este estudio. quien crea que este estudio es fácil está muy equivocado, tomé su tiempo y es mas o menos 110 bpm, que no es mucho para un maestro, y si es bueno para un estudiante. Le he visto mejores cosas como las
variaciones sobre la flauta mag. y trabajos muy interesantes con Ponce y Españolas. Aquí paso algo muy raro, ya que el nivel que exhibe en éste video no concuerda con su real capacidad.
ya esta viejo!!! tiene como 100 anios ahi dejalo. yo quiciera seguir tocando algo asi a esa edad, igual con asturias no lo toca al cienporciento pero lo toca super bien para su edad dejalo ser XD
Segovia estaba borracho o de resaca. Qué curda...afectó mucho la interpretación. Es una interpretación reumática y atrítica que no le hace justicia al Maestro Segovia, quien en su auge era rebueno.
Well I think it's rather good actually, so all those who say 'oh, it's rubbish, he's no good at all' must be listening to something else. What precisely is wrong with this? The sound quality might not be HD-DVD quality, but you can still tell that he's doing a pretty good job.
peplicus you're wrong, you're judging too quickly based on a bad recording rendition... which doesn't do him justice. You're looking at the Maestro. Only wish you could play like him! Regards
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I hate Segovia, from his crappy tone that no other guitarist would get away with without being slandered, to his crappy arrangements that ignores the composers wishes (Think Bach) and his general dickheadedness and chauvinist personality.
I'm certain Segovia's contributions to the guitar's repertoire are enough to render him legendary, but I must agree that his playing, whilst not inept, is nowwhere near the standard of Bream, Williams, or any of the other great guitar legends with which he is equated.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I would still disagree in giving him the status: "Legendary" :P I will give him credit for what he has done for the guitar though, he has done a lot to make it a widely accepted classical instrument, I never tried to take that away from him. He is definitely not inept, however for the level that he is playing at, and claims to be at, he is very sub-par.
Par being the standard - Julian Bream, John WIlliams etc. are you trying to say he is even remotely as good as them? If you want an exceptional player look for Pavel Steidl.
I'm just glad there is somebody out there who doesn't go into a rage whenever they see something other than "Segovia the Maestro" or along those lines :P
Well it's true, you never even provided an argument for him. Not to mention he only played 2 of the studies the great Villa Lobos wrote him, and turned down a guitar concerto written for him until he wrote him a Cadenza, how much more of a dick head can you be?
I never said I was "Fucking cosmic" I purely meant I've done research into a lot of players, studies, and interpretations of these studies. I do really know a fair bit about this subject. As for the typos I never knew you weren't allowed to have any. I might have spell checked if I was thinking that, like I bet you done 10 times over just to make sure you didn't make yourself look like an ass.
haha what "prestegious conservetoir in the uk" are you sitting? I'm from the states and was granted scholarship to go to the rcm in london. Why would you be saying a prestigious school instead of the name of the school?
You may have done studies but can you play? Every performer who ever touched an instrument has studied the history and context of it as well as the many performers and composers of said instrument.
Congrats on getting the scholarship! I don't mention it because I don't think it's appropriate, and doesn't really matter. I can't play all of the studies no, but that doesn't mean they aren't within my ability. And not everybody studies the background of the instrument and composers for the instrument, unfortunately. Please, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to take anythign away from Segovia. I greatly appreciate what he done for the Guitar, just not his playing, teaching style, or himself.
ordenense bola de sonsos, todo esta entreverado; uno no sabe que comentario va para quien. Segovia fue un Maestro para la epoca que le toco vivir. Eso no se discute, pero no salgan escribiendo comentarios tontos como que "pinche huevon" no molesten pues: altura señores ! esa va pal' mexicano estupido que posteo "pinche pendejo" hqaste una limpia Idiota.
eh! nada de nacionalismos, lo pendejo y huevon en cada nación lo tiene por lo menos un cabrón, no generalices.
estoy de acuerdo contigo en que Segovia fué grande en su tiempo, pero ésta pieza a mi ver, por mucho , no es lo mejor que tocó. no me gustan las comparaciones pero vé el video de su contemporaneo Yepes.
This is a horrible rendition. It should not be shown. Segovia was better than this. The tone is nauseating...come on people...Segovia had his qualities...but this...this is an abomonition.
Eso de que solo tocaba musica española es falso ya que el insto a muchos compositores latinoamericanos a escribir para guitarra (villalobos entre otros) asi como incluia en sus
clases repertorios de ponce, lauro... es mejor no creer lo que dicen mas si no es de una buena fuente
En este video hay que tomar en consideracion dos cosas, primero que segovia impulso la guitarra de manera tracendental llevando el instrumento a la musica de camara.
y dos que la tecnica de sogovia hoy en dia es arcaica, sin contar la edad que tenia en el video, por todo segovia es un mito aun cuando sus interpretaciones hoy en dia yo no son epectaculares.
Estoy deacuerdo con el primero, este vato solo le gustaba tocar musica española y creia que era la musica mas hermosa del mundo pero eso era porque estaba todo pendejo, pinche ruco ke qeno ke se murio
mira imbecil, a el debemos el lugar en salas de concierto y conservatorios de musica que tiene la guitarra. como puede ser que lo llames "pendejo." pinche ignorante
Segovia fue un egoista total con barrios mangore y eso porque barrios lo superaba facilmente en la ejecucion.busquen por internet una obra de barrios tocada por Segovia. Creo que no la encontraran. Admiro totalmente a Barrios, su humildad, su ejecucion es unica, su genialidad, su patriotismo, sus obras van mas alla de lo clasico. Creo que en señal de respeto Segovia hubiese llevado en su repertorio a "La Catedral", pero su Pedanteria fue mayor que su aprecio para hacerlo.

It's true, this may not be the definitive performance of this piece at this piece (he is very old in this video) but remember that this piece, and the rest of the set, was composed specifically for Segovia, because of his accomplishments. Keep that in mind next time you feel the urge to unabashedly disparage the late great maestro and his achievements.
Giulio Tampalini playes this just about 13371337133713371337133713371337133713371337133713371337133713371337133713371337 times better. Actually everybody, including those who can't play the guitar, like a tree, a mungus, or a space-craft, plays better than segovia. If I would throw the guitar down a cliff and capture the noise it makes when hitting the ground, it's still several leagues above segovia. Britney Spears is better than segovia. Anyone saying anything else is just being pretentious.

I think it was one his very early ones from when he was a young man. It had a lot of cracks.

@6thStringPlayer Yeah,...YT member distortionDS1 told me to search for wikipedia and there was apicture to see of the guitar you mentioned. There are some other of his guitars on display there. Some must be worth a fortune not just because of their quality but also because they where Andres' guitars.

John williams said that todays music teaching is more focus on the technical part rather than the musical part. Ana Vidovic is an example, very good technical but still missing the soul that Segovia puts on each of the musics he plays.

I'll say the Grand Maestro here is about 82 years old plus or minus 3.
Others retiring from stage at 55-60.
But not him.
He was guitar's biggest musical brain of all time.
The man who never played faster or slower anything at all.
This performance may not be the best of course but what is amazing is the sound he was able to produce.
The unmistakable Segovia tone.
Our master's voice.

i know that noone wants to hear something against segovia, he is like a god for most of the guitarists, but technically and musically speaking ana vidovic's is much. if you ask why musically i simply believe that her interpretation is very insightful and she makes it sound like a big wave rising and descending.

This is the most fucking amazing thing I've seen.
To the retards saying he isn't that good:
This guy was fucking around his 90s when this was made. If this was recorded in his 20s, you probably would have quit guitar. In his 90s he could play the first etude, with his bones completely gone to shit and his muscles deteriorating. In his 20s he could probably play this with his pinky toe and a small Chinese boy without fingers fretting the guitar.

His finger agility aside, Segovias "technique" as in the means to express and convey is more impressive at age 90 than at his early years.

@hitsugaya64 Not much of that made sense but I know an undergraduate guitar player who plays this one faster and cleaner. And the only reason he "isn't that good" now is because he set the bar so high then and progression of any sort will naturally make things better so he is obsolete, for lack of a better word. Compare his playing to recent GFA winner Marcin Dylla's playing and you will see.

Segovia preferred Torroba, a fine composer, but hardly in the league of Rodrigo, whose best pieces more modern players have shown us to be among the finest creations. Segovia was conservative, his tastes grounded in the 19th century. Thank goodnes Bream came along to show that emotion was not just a Spanish virtue.

Interesting that, as good as Ponce´s music is, Villa-Lobos broke new ground with the guitar. Segovia never liked it, and I think the études didn´t really fit his moods, tastes or techniques as Ponce´s more conservative music, neo-classic and neo-romantic music. Segovia was always more for Ponce, Tansman and C. Tedesco, even though, next to V. Lobos, in termos of the guitar, they are far less important. Consider Rodrigo: Segovia didn´t record much of him either and Rodrigo was first rate.
peplicus 2 years ago
That's not true. Segovia asked VIlla Lobos to write a guitar composition for him. That's why Villa Lobos wrote the 12 Estudos.

not true. in fact Segovia said it couldn't be played (his pieces). So at on gathering villa lobos grabbed a guitar and played for him as proof they could.

Respeto a Segovia por su trabajo, pero es muy desafortunada su interpretación de este estudio. quien crea que este estudio es fácil está muy equivocado, tomé su tiempo y es mas o menos 110 bpm, que no es mucho para un maestro, y si es bueno para un estudiante. Le he visto mejores cosas como las
variaciones sobre la flauta mag. y trabajos muy interesantes con Ponce y Españolas. Aquí paso algo muy raro, ya que el nivel que exhibe en éste video no concuerda con su real capacidad.

I'm certain Segovia's contributions to the guitar's repertoire are enough to render him legendary, but I must agree that his playing, whilst not inept, is nowwhere near the standard of Bream, Williams, or any of the other great guitar legends with which he is equated.

I would still disagree in giving him the status: "Legendary" :P I will give him credit for what he has done for the guitar though, he has done a lot to make it a widely accepted classical instrument, I never tried to take that away from him. He is definitely not inept, however for the level that he is playing at, and claims to be at, he is very sub-par.

You may have done studies but can you play? Every performer who ever touched an instrument has studied the history and context of it as well as the many performers and composers of said instrument.

Congrats on getting the scholarship! I don't mention it because I don't think it's appropriate, and doesn't really matter. I can't play all of the studies no, but that doesn't mean they aren't within my ability. And not everybody studies the background of the instrument and composers for the instrument, unfortunately. Please, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to take anythign away from Segovia. I greatly appreciate what he done for the Guitar, just not his playing, teaching style, or himself.

Segovia fue un egoista total con barrios mangore y eso porque barrios lo superaba facilmente en la ejecucion.busquen por internet una obra de barrios tocada por Segovia. Creo que no la encontraran. Admiro totalmente a Barrios, su humildad, su ejecucion es unica, su genialidad, su patriotismo, sus obras van mas alla de lo clasico. Creo que en señal de respeto Segovia hubiese llevado en su repertorio a "La Catedral", pero su Pedanteria fue mayor que su aprecio para hacerlo.

It's true, this may not be the definitive performance of this piece at this piece (he is very old in this video) but remember that this piece, and the rest of the set, was composed specifically for Segovia, because of his accomplishments.
