@guitarmbar Oh wellI I suppose it's true there are lots of speed merchants out there with that great gift....however music has many facets and he or she have both their foibels and their fortes. The great gift to us of Segovia and others of his ilk was in my opinion their ability to INTERPRET music.Thank goodness this gift still holds good today even among the new up and coming classical guitarists.

Outstanding left hand technique, glorious right hand tone, and perfect sense of musicality :)

I HATE it when people comment magnificently to mediocre and crap players on youtube. Very few of "us" (classical guitar community) understand well played classical guitar music.

@ivanclassicalguitar Lob Der Tranen (translates to Praise Of Tears) it's a Schubert transcription that J.K. Mertz did. It was originally a lieder.

@dnworks There's no doubt. It's the same with other instruments as well, for instance brass instruments. It's not a knock on the previous generations of players, but the pedagogy has come so far in the last 50-60 years. These days there are 18 year olds that would play Segovia right off the stage.
