I saw Segovia's last concert at Orchestra Hall in Chicago. They'd oversold it, and I was seated ON THE STAGE with my wife. The tiny 90 year old Catalonian channeled the Bach Cello Suite, and transcended the limitations of his or any instrument. I was studying classical guitar at Chicago Musical College, but I was unprepared. This was not a guitar concert. It was pure , perfect music. I am not worthy. No one was, is or will be.

As a violinist, I find it interesting how he takes so much liberty with the tempo, as no violinist I have ever heard does so with this piece. I can't say I'm used to it, but I certainly find it a refreshing change.

I find it amazing how you can't detect a single mistake in this entire song.

Brilliant, absolutely..... I have no words

Truly the grand maestro. Him and Bach would have gotten along quite will in my opinion.

@johnp234 So lucky! :)

you can just add a little ''space'' in the video before the song starts and upload again the first part of chaconne ;-)

ugh, every time I read comments on a page full of musicians.
are you all so pompous in your own ideas of music?
"hes right! this is right! thats right! no you're wrong!'
beautiful music is beautiful music, you don't have to be a maestro to hear a beautiful tune anymore than anybody else, and you don't have to play a piece a certain way only for it to be beautiful.

@owenhsmith That's kind of what I was thinking. There's no need to act as if he is some mystical god-like force. He was simply a very earnest and dedicated man with a sensitive ear.
from Jose' Sepulveda, the Hermeterec.......thank you SqueezeMyLemonBabe....(maybe later)...anyway thank you for the comment! I get so tired of these insufferable and highly dogmatic assertions from "musicians"....to vibrato or not to vibrato. Is that really the question? Why not just listen and enjoy? Holy shit! Who cares....it remains beautiful and a transcendant performance!

@Hermeterec That's a good way to put it: "insufferable and highly dogmatic assertions." Many of the comments I get all over the place are full of these kinds of statements (see my Faure Elegie video). It reflects a poor understanding of music and basic immaturity. Another term is reductionistic. The simple-minded will always approach music in a simple way.
