  • Sounds reall fantastic. How did you record it? Ambient mic?

  • beautiful , clean and with feeling . Segovia , as great as he was didn't make the rules for fingering .Bach didn't write this for guitar , so i feel the guitarist can choose his/her own fingering as long as they get their sound . they should have their own interpretation . they should not all sound the same IMHO .So there !

  • @ReviewGuitar As much as I adore the great man Segovia, he may find issues with the tone and fingering but I shouldn't think JS Bach would be too bothered. This to me is perfect. A wonderful interpretation of the piece intended for the violin

  • wonderful

    

  • I got your email, but I want to reply here so that my comments are public. I especially love your choice to use glissando to bring out the first theme. It gives it such a different color.

    About the ornaments. I am often disheartened with the lack of musicology involved in classical guitarists. While some players might say you use too many ornaments, I say you are making up for the DECADES of dry baroque guitar LOL

  • YOU SIR!!! This is the new standard!!! I'm a big Trevor Pinnock fan, and I hear his interpretative method in your playing

  • Inspirational 

  • @ReviewGuitar WOW, guess that proves who you are! :-)) In 1969 when I saw Sevovia at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion, I was a 18yo Copy Cat desperate to "become", and of course he was my idol. Parkening and Bream were around then, but it was Andreas most PPL knew. I never made it to his master class, and do not know his personal inclinations, but you are far ahead of me probably having played all of these years! I had to stop playing, but I bet JSB would love this interpretation :-)) Thanks

    You must not know Segovia, my friend :) Segovia went nuts when Parkening played a slightly different fingering of this piece for him; he played Celodonio Romero's fingering. Parkening had to relearn the entire piece with Segovia's fingerings in one night. In addition, Segovia very, very particular about tone quality; I think he might find some issues with the tone quality in this case.
