Andres Segovia-El Noi De La Mare

[theritualabuse666]

the god of classical guitar

[florafox]

@theritualabuse666 i prefer agustin barrios as god of classical guitar, segovia is more like an old fashioned teacher in comparison and much too arrogant.

[kontrapunkti]

Ok,I Will go to Catalonia

[congochicken87]

I'll use my lack of good english to settle this arguement... I aint got to care whether which language is best... any language except stupid lol's & ttys.. who cares? That's what Translators are for anyway...

[hylas79]

To the people arguing about nationalistic nonsense: exchange e-mails with one another, so that you can continue your banter elsewhere. The rest of us would prefer to listen.

[champimsm]

sencillamente una inspiracion para mi en la guitarra, debo conseguir la tablatura

[leoncioviolin]

precioso

[newislandguitar]

one of my favorite tunes to play.

[Roosterboii]

I remember when i first started playing, my grandfather allways called me Segovia, and he still does. at first i didn't know who he has. Then my grandfather showed me. i love my grandfather, and segovia has influenced me in my writing. My guitar teacher thought me this song pretty early on, he said "hey kid, you got some real talent here, let's try something, i think you can make it" and he showed me how to play this very song. ever since, i have never found a tune that i love to play more. <3

[replicancia]

Es un villancico catalán verdad?

[ciego79]

Què li darem a n'el Noi de la Mare? Què li darem que li sàpiga bo? Li darem panses amb unes balances, li darem figues amb un paneró Què li darem al Fillet de Maria? Què li darem al formós Infantó? Panses i figues i nous i olives, panses i figues i mel i mató. Tampatamtam que les figues són verdes, Tampatamtam que ja maduraran. Si no maduren el dia de Pasqua, maduraran en el dia del Ram.

[workedant]

Wow, this is so refreshing to listen to Segovia. Some of these new artists are so dry and not beautiful in their playing. It's like they are stuck on technical aspect of playing the guitar. Music should come from the heart and reflected on the guitar and also bring out the beauty of the instrument as well. Listening to this washes away all that gunk of new playing.

[scottishblood12]

idk about technique issues, he does great voice leading and connections. he is a bit sloppy but he has sausage fingers. give him a break

[meangreen4321]

@scottishblood12

"A bit sloppy"?

Get a life!

[meangreen4321]

@scottishblood12

LOL, no thanks.  If you can ever play as well as him, then you'd be entitled to critique his playing, but I highly doubt it.

[scottishblood12]

try a 98% on NYSSMA level 6 for classic guitar. so yes i do know what i'm talking about when i say it's a bit sloppy. doesn't mean he's bad dumbass

[meangreen4321]

@scottishblood12

LOL Remind me never to insult a Scotsman. Anyhow, it sounds wonderful to my ear, but perhaps technically it has some minor flaws. However, his other videos attest to his incredible skill and mastery.

[thecsman]

Try a what? Your comment is absolutely ridiculous.

[aldo6666]

@scottishblood12

How about uploading a clip where you show all of us how to play this piece...

[gokenshadow]

@meangreen4321 It doesn't take a good musician to recognize a bad one. I'm not saying I agree with scottishblood12 but your logic is flawed.

[KABLUNAIT]

great compostion andre was truely the greatest of us all

[wordmanwordman]

El Italiano y el español son lenguas mas perfectas que el ingles, jodéte uarhara

[Ichnos76]

:) Bravo fratello spagnolo.

[pavanacapricho]

... looking at Segovia as a neutral musician you will find lots of defects. In no other instrument one would accept those things! Could you imagine Oistrach, Gilels, Horovitz or Rostropovitsch with this kind of lacks??

Nevertheless Segovias charismatic way of treating his beloved instrument , the fascinating atmospheres he is able to create and the magic he can bring out from one single note remain unique... a real phenomenon!

[Claire1Rogers]

umm no not really :P

and 'defects' is a very subjective term when it comes to music.

The reason he is called the best...is cuz the music he played was considered the best by most wo are into this stuff...and im begining to see y

[maxcarlos]

la fuerza de lo sencillo es siempre insuperable

[MegaCPC]

Segovia might not be the most technically talented and there are many guitarists who can probably play circles around him, but hat's not the point. Segovia's tone and the feel that comes out of his guitar are unsurpassed.

[wsmcasey]

Seriously soundgarden, are you better? I doubt it, if so i would love to see and hear your rendition of this classic piece.

[x1soundgarden1x]

Not very legato is it? It's not very legato in the other youtube video of him playing it in Granada in 1976. I love Segovia, but the level of today's players really surpasses him. Still, I wish today's players could surpass his feeling instead of just his technique.

[ALoveEternal]

You're going to have to post a link if you don't want to look like an asshole.

[ALoveEternal]

Feeling is more important than technique fucktard. And this is about the worst video of his to judge him solely on his technique.

[petetang1985]

id listen to segovia over williams anyday cause i feel more from him

[10052308]

troppo bello

[B62T]

Благодарю Вас

[PigsFromHell]

great, i'm charmed...

[luarsan]

Apabullante interpretacion.

[admirerthecure]

Gigantesca interpretazione...

Sei sempre nel nostro cuore Andres..

Nessuno ti ha ancora superato...

CIAO

[eroffino]

magico Maestro, grandissimo suono.

chi lo critica dovrebbe imparare a stare in silenzio e ad ascoltare di più.

Andres Segovia, il maestro di tutti.

[buchananstreet]

esto contiene mucho de toda la ternura catalana para aquellos que saben escuchar ....

[oceanokim]

estupenda melodia. tuvimos la suerte de aprender la cancion y espero haber podido intepretar bien. visiten mi sitio.

[acompas]

Does anyone know who arranged this piece? Thanks for sharing it!

[jakobbangsoe]

Miguel Llobet.

[ciego79]

With a "Q", Miquel (in catalan).

[jakobbangsoe]

No, it's with a 'g'.

[ciego79]

You are wrong my dear friend. You seem to be from Denmark. I'm from Barcelona (Catalonia) so I know perfectly well what his name is. Usually spaniards trade original catalan names for spanish ones when catalan people gain international recognizion just to get our culture unknown or forbidden.

Llobet in catalan means "pequeño lobo", little wolf.

[fridrikur]

No microphone could truly capture the sound of his guitar. His tone was out of this world.

[goorance]

comment on eanglish pls

[InterGuru1908]

english is not the only language in this world

[Xiocus]

I really don't get this comment...

No1 has posted anything using an Italian language. If you mean maxcarlos, he is writing spanish.

Very easy to translate using whatever online translator. He said:

The power of simpleness is always unbeatable.

[IAMJAZZHIMSELF]

@InterGuru1908 but its still the best

[InterGuru1908]

@IAMJAZZHIMSELF why? can you explain me?

[IAMJAZZHIMSELF]

@InterGuru1908 cus its easy to learn for everybody, it has a cool sound, almost everybody speaks the language and the language is still growing. im dutch so im not english but i could speak it well when i was about 10 years old, now im 15 and everybody learns it, so thats why

[InterGuru1908]

@IAMJAZZHIMSELF It's cool because they (the americans) made appear it cool. It could be easy, but it hasn't a high literature and a wide dictionary to compete with other languages as Italian, French, Spanish or German.

[CarnivoreConfidence]

@InterGuru1908

The English language contains around 1 million words, whereas German contains only around 300,000. French, Italian, and Spanish contain even less words than German. What you have said is counterfactual. The reverse is true, as these other languages cannot compete with English.

Your knowledge of English is severely lacking, as your comment on high literature shows.

[InterGuru1908]

@CarnivoreConfidence The fact that English has more words than other languages doesn't mean anything. More words don't necessary mean more complexity, because often in the spoken and written language, few are used, a lot are recurring.

And about the literature, oh man, you can't be serious.

[andalaraja]

@CarnivoreConfidence Firstly, Spanish, the second language spoken after mandarin chinese, has more words than you say (you probably got this information from yahoo forum, haha). Secondly, in case you were right, would be more meritorius for spanish writers to compound "El Quijote" with less words than english has. Finally, vosotros los anglosajones, deberíais miraros menos el ombligo y aprender más de lenguas tan excepcionales y ricas en literatura como el español.

[maluisa3]

@andalaraja Do you mean, Anglocojones?

[andalaraja]

@maluisa3 May be I mean anglotones

[TheGolipo]

@CarnivoreConfidence c'mon italians, for instance, use hands and gestures,... LOL

many things dont have to be soooo obvious in this world to be understood. :P

If it is numbers, you have to accept the fact that most of the people in this world speak chinese XD

No, seriously, SFU, with all respect

[juncode]

@InterGuru1908 Yes. Music is the other one

[notaras1985]

@InterGuru1908 it's one of the worst actually. very poor and not at all "brain-training". i am greek so you understand i can talk about that kind of stuff having a language of five millenia.

[InterGuru1908]

@notaras1985 Yeah, sure. Latin and Greek are the foundation of Western, Middle Eastern and (partly) African cultures.

[venanciobar]

beautiful melody

[fodera6]

Haunting. One of my favorites!

From Aug 2003 issue of 20th Century Guitar Magazine:

In researching the historical relevance of this work, I found that the guitarist / author Scott Bach discovered this fact: "This sheet music was left open on Maestro Segovia's stand on the day of his passing, and may have been the last piece he played."

[jtm93arg]

@fodera6 it's a traditional catalan song called "el noi de la mare":)

[nigulat]

Nois, l'enregistrament és antic, però el "Mestre" és el "Mestre". Sí, senyor!

[pakamen]

Christopher Parkening also plays this in most beautiful fashion.

[kawai98]

Tanco els ulls hi somio.......

[barisaquarius]

Viva Segovia... You are the one...

[musichuqui]

siempre lo mas simple es lo mejor.

[mindbodylightsound10]

the audio is way better on this one than phalopalo
