Bach - Bourrèe - Played by Andrès Segovia

[LadyLorridaile]

I wish I had the 7 stars button! Loved it

[orion777temp]

on my opinion nobody,plays this piece as good as segovia did,those ornaments and tones not even bream did it as good,is my opinion.

[BrookmanMusic]

Lovely control and tone, I have uploaded a 'Bouree' too, I think it may well be the first transcription for guitar since the piece was composed? not sure, please have a listen.....

Jethro Tull sent me here

i personally love this version. Especially 0:43 - 0:48 where he goes loud to soft slightly.

Love it!

[bibhuna]

what grade would this be? Because I'm learning it and I want to know which level I'm at.

[HazelTheKlanger]

@bibhuna it is a grade 6 song.

[xXxGoyexXx]

@HazelTheKlanger And Asturias which grade is? Regards from Costa Rica!

I really don't believe he actually transcibed any of the suites in its entirety. He often transposed movements of the suites to different keys - such as the Allemande - to A minor - from this very same suite as the Bourree, which is in E minor. Also, as evidenced by this Bourree, Segovia would fill in chords and whatnot.

my father listened him in live...at people called "bis, plz, bis" he said :"the guitarist would play, but the guitar is tired"...lol...he was old at the time...

segovia paso a guitarra este tema

[goyroyni]

I have a question: Did Segovia ever record a complete Bach Lute Suite? Or just bits of them?

Regards

[rickcheyne]

@goyroyni I know that he transcribed several enitre Bach lute suites for guitar but I'm not aware of any recordings as such. In Segovia's day I don't think the recording industry had much interest in entire lute suite recordings - they only wanted the "catchy" pieces.

[orion777temp]

i can tell is segovia no mistake,the best, along with bream versions.

[BlackSUNrising12]

na und ?

lern erstma gitta!

[StopTheMoti0n]

haha i'm glad he doesn't jack up the tempo like a lot of others do

[JuergenSchenk]

Well played, but I don't think this is Segovia playing-too inexpressive, too cold :(

[transalp1983]

"Segovia Gold" Cd n. 1

Track n. 2

recorded by Deutsche Grammophon in 1952

What do un think it in't acceptable

[JuergenSchenk]

Sorry, my mistake. You are right. But this sounds so untypical-compared to the recording from 1947. No offence meant.

Juergen

[jjjjjjkl]

This is Segovia, I have this same recording on two different commercial CDs.

[JuergenSchenk]

It was my mistake, this is a Segovia recording I never heard before, but it is quite untypical compared to the recording of this piece from 1947.

[P4W3R]

@JuergenSchenk Barroque music is different and more quadriculated and exact. That is the reason. This is a good song to start playing guitar. Also tremolo is different and shorter inconcert halls is difficult to hear so he shortens it.

[StevieRayMorn]

@JuergenSchenk at 0:56 and 1:24 showed Segovia lay back ending note and tone color, also his unique ornaments, phrasing and rubato, i think this one is pretty sure is his interpretation and i will follow this for my playing on this song , thank transalp1983 for posting

[dveeant]

Segovia will be missed!

[SEGOVIALOPEZRAMOS]
