@nkoshkin John Duarte told me the same thing. Also, his Bach and Scarlatti are hopelessly out of date. However, when he plays the music where he IS comfortable (Torroba, Ponce, Tedesco, Donostia, etc) he is without peer.

But back to Asya. I criticized the dryness of the RECORDING, not the performance! Her playing here is clearly superior to that of Segovia.

@nkoshkin I just did. To my shock, their guitars are a half-tone apart!! This, of course, could be software- or hardware-related. First, I am NOT of of those who constantly criticize Segovia as lesser than the players of today. His was a prior generation. He played at a stellar level for his time. My father (my first teacher) told me that after World War II, when Segovia began playing in public again, he was astounded by his technique but also disappointed by his sloppiness.

@johnkbent Listen carefully to the Segovia's version of the piece. I don't know if Segovia's recording was made live or in the studio. But Asya was recorded live. No editing, just direct recording, from the first note to the last.

@LadyLorridaile Just nonsense)))

@LadyLorridaile

I hate to say it, but I agree. I don't know if it is the guitar or the indifferent, flat tone of the recording itself. Her playing is certainly wonderfully fluid. She seems quite taken in by whatever she plays (especially Koshkin's Preludes & Fugues).

The same crew managed this recording & video as did the Koshkin P&F. Here, however, they just seemed so ... bored. Segovia once said the guitar sounds best when somewhat Lontano (distant). He was right!

[LadyLorridaile]

Horrible sound. She doesn't seem to be hearing what she's playing

[paultreselli]

such intensity in expression and playing!

[porcodeddio85]

Incredible fingerpicking

[CBH462]

BEAUTIFUL! And the song is lovely as well!
