Well he is different since he is 80 years old on this recording ,far away from his golden years.

Segovia was good until 1965-1967 then he began to decline naturally

@broadcast685 no, but there will definitely be another great classical guitarist sometime in the future.

@broadcast685

That would be just like asking will there ever be another Beethoven, or Mozart? Or Bach?! Definitely not! And that's the way it should be!

[broadcast685]

Will there ever be another Segovia?

These music periods are not fixed periods. One era evolved into the next. A bell didn't' ring in 1626 and a voice say "Renaissance over , baroque starts please" no at the time they played they would not have heard of the periods which we use for convenience today. and btw Segovia DID go to music school. As a boy he attended the Granada Conservavtoire in Spain and was taught cello and piano.

is this REALLY Segovia? I don't believe it. The sound and touch are different.

The Elizabethan era was 1558–1603. Dowland; 1563–1626

The Renaissance spanned the 14th to the 17th century.

Saying it's Renaissance is too broad.

I saw your Dowland and you also play it more like a guitar piece.

My MAIN POINT; the guitar can BEND MORE in the direction of the Lute when PLAYING Lute music.

Plenty of Lute players hate lute music on guitar. I don't mind but don't like it played like Spanish guitar music.

@Rexicano

i didn't say it's a baroque, i mention later baroque and renaissance way

cause dowland is a renaissance composer and i know that. But wt i meant is if u want to hear Segovia u shouldn't hear the baroque like chaconne and renaissance music, cause he played it in a spanish air. but still if u forget the idea of playing in the style (wich i'm not with it) u can see how segovia play beautifully the melodie, he goes out of rythm just to show us the beatiful melodie he's a master

First; this is NOT Baroque music, it's Elizabethan. Maybe Segovia never heard a Lute player...he didn't go to Music School either...BUT there were people around who had a great deal of knowledge re period music. After all, Segovia traveled the world so info WAS available.

Without Segovia plenty of us would still find the guitar; the Beatles turned me on to it and LATER I went to Classical. You don't know the history; there were quite a few great guitarists in Segovia's lifetime.

@Rexicano

it's true but baroque in the time of segovia wasn't that well study later they start to play in a baroque and renaissance way, just remember without segovia we wouldn't play classical guitar he was the principal person to let the classical guitar shine into the world
