My dear don Andrés, thank you forever and ever, my friend, for coming to our house after your concerts and stay with us until 2am laughing and talking. Next day, you and I went shopping for Emilita´s gifts. I miss you!
Today I am truly discovering Segovia and I say this because I really had not stopped to meditate on his way of playing and it turns out that in our Venezuelan Maestro Alirio Díaz (I write from Venezuela) whom I have detailed since the writer was a young teenager , I perceive the touch of Segovia, that is to say, several of his nuanced ways of doing the accelerandos, the ralentandos, the impetus when playing of Don Alirio, are very Segovian, of course Maestro Díaz also has his own fingerprints in the form of make your music. One as a disciple has the powerful influence of his, or his Teachers. I remember here that Maestro Alirio Díaz was one of the most outstanding students of Segovia to the point that he was the one who succeeded him at the Chigiana Academy of Siena.
Its mine too.. Here in Brazil we had and have a lot great guitarist. One similar of Andrés is Baden Powell. Please listening when possible playing PRELUDE IN A MINOR and let me know what do you think . Tks

Thank you Daniele Magli for this and so many other fantastic musical gifts that you find and share.... and thank you Jimmy Carter for inviting the brilliant and amazing Andres Segovia to the White House.
5th Segovia video this week and 5th by Daniele Magli. Thanks Daniele for reminding others of this wonderful musical legacy. I fell in love with Segovia's music through these recordings.
The master of this technique. Master the technique and one can master the music. That a lot for one plate. Such care and respect for the composers and the instrument.
The maestro is complete manifestation of classical guitar with new introductions including bringing it in to western classical orchestration. He once also performed open air at the White House lawn...
Segovia ja com idade bastante avançada, conseguir tocar com esta performance em uma plateia tão seletiva como esta , seu emocional inabalável , foi um gênio que poucos irão conseguir alcançar esta perfeição ainda por muitos séculos a frente. Gratidão
Enorme mérito el del Maestro Segovia. Tocar un concierto con 86 años y siguió actuando hasta abril de 1987, meses antes de morir. Y actuar viendo la claridad y las caras del público, mientras muchos artistas prefieren el escenario iluminado y el público a oscuras. A pesar de la edad, tenía los reflejos bastante bien todavía.
Indimenticabile grande interprete . Nel Novembre del successivo anno 1987 venne a Basilea in Svizzera , io fui presente al suo concerto e tuttora conservo il programma che egli esegui' . Incredibile qui nel video all'eta' di 86 anni come riesca a padronaggiare ancora la tecnica ; il Mr . Segovia suonava 5 ore al giorno ...
... maravilloso -Don Andres ! .... - A. Segovia ; " Solo Dios sabe , las horas que pase' solamente-.... con "los arpegios " ! ( La Belleza y la emocion de este concierto , me hace recordar a Pablo Casals ( con 95 (?..), en el Metropolitan,N.Y , ; " El ultimo canto de gruya " ....,donde ," el sonido del dolor de su violonchelo ,.....hizo llorar a todos....... (Ha sido concierto en el homenaje a la Naturaleza , aludiendo a los desastres ecologicos ...en todo el planeta...)

Segovia's the Greatest Guitarist ever during his time and mine so far and I hope I'll be able to hear someone else as good but I'm not expecting that to happen. You won't hear or see this kind of class in the White House today and if you find someone to play near his talent they probably won't show up because they wouldn't be amoungst the trash that resides there now!
Como si Federico lo hubiera escrito para tí: "Tardará mucho tiempo en nacer, si es que nace, un andaluz tan claro, tan rico de aventura. Yo canto su elegancia con palabras que gimen y recuerdo una brisa triste por los olivos."
I saw him a year later than this. He played fairly slowly, but with huge emphasis on tone production. No amplification was utilised - in a large concert hall. If the audience are quiet, it’s not needed IMO.
This certainly wasn't at his peak, but many of the elements that made him such an amazing player are clearly still in evidence - beautiful tone, lyrical musicality and incredible technique. He was one of a kind.
I always felt as he got older his colours just went through the roof. It was hearing his recital of Capricho Catalan on the Nupen film of 1972, that infinity of colour, that etched him into my heart forever.
El padre de la guitarra clásica y el gran aporte para muchos los que estudiamos este instrumento tan hermoso como es la guitarra y la saco del anonimato y descubrió que con la guitarra se puede interpretar toda clase de música
I saw him in concert the same year at Lavenham Church in the UK. I was only 6 feet from him for 2 hours straight! Got to shake his hand afterwards and say "thankyou" (about a dozen times as I was in shock).
I just commented that this was the same year that I saw him in London. Meet the imbecille who lost Segovia's autograph. I was framing it. Had it in a storage unit with most of my belongings and never saw them again. It is CV one of the few material possessions I still regret losing but the experience of meeting him remains.
@@stompthedragon4010 LIkewise. I kept his autograph safe for 35 years and then one day, its just... gone. Probably thrown out during some random cleanup.
From today's perspective, there being so many fantastic classical guitar players, the most beautiful aspect of Segovia was the artistry of his mind. Watching "Los Olivos" convinces me of this.
unfortunately I think that lots of guitarists surpassed him, but he is very famous for being an advocate and bringing the guitar to different areas of the world. But he is not the greatest. Agustin Barrios, and Julian Bream, to name a few have such a huge spirit in their music that I think overshadows Segovia. And then there's voice. Narciso Yepes doesn't have that "perfect" tone that Segovia would have liked, but I still prefer his interpretations of tarrega.
crazycool1128 On utube I’ve been enjoying loads of wonderful, expressive, technicality talented individuals from all over the world. Tarega and Segovia and others were the precursors and promoters of the modern guitar, but its not a lost instrument. Gods gift and talents are being expressed by many inspired by this wonderful instrument.
What is the accurate name of the short piece he plays to end his performance? I’ve seen various statements and I wish to be able to get the score thank you
86yrs old, most men need help getting out of bed and to the bathroom and Segovia is playing a concert..i bet he wished every concert he played in the last 20yrs of his life he could show the audience his speed of his youth.
He was 16 years old when he played his first public performance. Here he is 70 years later! That in itself is an accomplishment. Yes the speed is gone but his unique interpretive skills is still there. A young Segovia must have been quite impressive. Like a lot of young guitarists playing with great speed is one of their goals. I have not heard recordings of Segovia in his twenties or thirties. I suspect that he was a very fast player.
Living Legend- saw this broadcast on public television back in the day. Though felt sorry for him from 2:46 - 2:54. Despite the memory lapse the Maestro carried on. Reportedly he later said the stage lighting was terrible as he was used to performing in a darker setting. Sometimes the hardest playing is totally in the open- no reverb, EQ, or filters to hide behind. Some say Segovia played on too long and should've retired gracefully. Even Heifetz, Callas, and others turned to teaching in their later years. But artistry is a passion that runs deep, or maybe the Maestro's accountant said he had to keep playing concerts to maintain a lifestyle for his family. We'll never know. Regardless, classical guitarists ride on the Maestro's shoulders due to his superhuman efforts, but I don't think others will be able to pack audiences like he, Parkening, Williams, and Bream could. The hope is that classical guitar will continue, and its repertoire will expand...
Segovia was the iconic performer who created the sound and technique that made the guitar iconic. With that said, you are totally oblivious to the status of the guitar today. 50 years ago there were maybe 10 or 15 world renowned classical guitarists. Today there are thousands of world class players - maybe tens of thousands - most of whom you and I have never heard of, and many capable of technical feats that go beyond most of the top players from the past. You can probably spend the next 5 years on You Tube charting all the guitarists from Asia and you might still be missing many. You hardly have to worry about the guitar going silent.
Phil Wilson respect your opinion. Yes, pedagogy has improved with lots of players. Technique is but a means to an end these days. Agree with Maestro Parkening that today’s players are very good be they from Asia, Europe, wherever. But their technique takes more than straight wrists and a clean tone, as it’s a cookie cutter sound. Yes, classical guitar will continue, although Marcelo Kayath has a very good YT video regarding the future of classical guitar- it’s repertoire is limited and many players are recycling the same solos as are you and I. Thank goodness for composers like Brower and others who’ve added to our music, but even that’s getting old too. I started out as a drummer in school symphonic/marching band, also still play the flute (badly) but even its repertoire far outclasses the guitar. We guitarist are very limited in sight reading, rarely play in flat key signatures, and we play transcriptions. Maybe you have done the same, but I’ve had the opportunity to study with one of Pepe Romero’s teaching assistants at UCSD. Fantastic experience- even Pepe has said (and still does in his masterclasses) it takes more than fantastic technical feats to make a player. Overall, are the new players packing halls like Williams, Bream (whom I’ve seen In concert)? Are they commissioning new pieces? Likely not a whole lot. Are you asking me if I’m renouncing the guitar? Or do I think it’ll disappear? You’re missing my discussion. If you’re ready, I look forward to your world class classical guitar album, and achievements that surpass players of the past whose shoulders we all rest upon...
i'm sorry i broke your guitar mr segovia and that the camera man never showed so had to use a crapy one At least you could say that although your guitar was broken...you witnessed me in person, discover Dissonant chords.

No words could ever explain the special place this man has in my heart.
Love to watch and listen him play CG and drinks hot coffee in winters
God Bless You
That is the same year that I saw Segovia in London. A one time in my life treat. What magic.
Today I am truly discovering Segovia and I say this because I really had not stopped to meditate on his way of playing and it turns out that in our Venezuelan Maestro Alirio Díaz (I write from Venezuela) whom I have detailed since the writer was a young teenager , I perceive the touch of Segovia, that is to say, several of his nuanced ways of doing the accelerandos, the ralentandos, the impetus when playing of Don Alirio, are very Segovian, of course Maestro Díaz also has his own fingerprints in the form of make your music.

Enorme! Thanks Mr Segovia!
An idol at every age
Charism and respect
Lovely concert. I hadn't seen it before but I was privileged to hear two recitals from the maestro back in the 80s!
I think.around the 17:00 mark there he's definitely show-boatin 😎 I love his minuet in A
Loving all the different languages on here. Happy Birthday Segovia!
Saw Him at Philharmonic Hall in 1972. He was outstanding.
Fantástico, inolvidable el Maestro

Someone needs to remaster this audio and video.
He is the Father and Chuld at the same time.He is just a Man..human being
Thanks for the upload!
If ever there was a GOAT, this is it!!!!
Great artist and guitarist maesto Segovia. Bravo!
Très fort le mec avec ses gros doigts. Il donne de la noblesse à la guitare.
Amazing to still play this well at 86 years of age! Bravo!
Andrés Segovia es el maestro y seguirá siendo el mejor.
He still has the ear to know how the composer meant it to be heard. The playing is secondary at his age . Interpretation is everything.
Saw him in concert a couple of years earlier in the Twin Cities. It was his 50th tour of the US. Never forget it.
it's very American to see his age as a detriment instead of an attribute
@@captaincrunch6500 perhaps, if I were an American. I am not, I'm British, & one of the biggest Segovia fans you'll find.

I feel to say: young guitarists, look at the posture of the right hand of the maestro
Segovia was sent from Heaven,to show mankind the soul of the guitar ! xxxxxxx
This is when actual musicians guested The White House
This certainly wasn't at his peak, but many of the elements that made him such an amazing player are clearly still in evidence - beautiful tone, lyrical musicality and incredible technique. He was one of a kind.
I always felt as he got older his colours just went through the roof. It was hearing his recital of Capricho Catalan on the Nupen film of 1972, that infinity of colour, that etched him into my heart forever.
agree to disagree, he aged to perfection he did not peak until he died
The song of the Guitar is a song, especially if Segovia is playing!
Best of all time
HUMAN..
Wow ..Thanks thats great ..i thought Llobet was the only guitarist to play at the White House ..awesome..mind you Llobet taught Segovia ..:)
As I recall, this was his SECOND performance at the White House.

6:06 BWV 1001 - Bach - Fugue
exactly, not the BWV 1000, which is the lute version, but the transcription from the violin that he evidently preferred
How old was Segovia at this time?
I think the Sor Variations On A Theme By Mozart was the Maestro at his most playful.
В 86 лет так играть.
From today's perspective, there being so many fantastic classical guitar players, the most beautiful aspect of Segovia was the artistry of his mind. Watching "Los Olivos" convinces me of this.
Is that his wife, Emilia and his son Carlos in the front row?
I can't for the life of me remember what the piece at 27:20 is called
its disheartening to realize how unlikely it is for any classical guitarist to surpass him
agree
unfortunately I think that lots of guitarists surpassed him, but he is very famous for being an advocate and bringing the guitar to different areas of the world. But he is not the greatest. Agustin Barrios, and Julian Bream, to name a few have such a huge spirit in their music that I think overshadows Segovia. And then there's voice.

He played beautifully until the end....Prelude 1 Villa Lobos 1986.
What a Amazing man ....He passed June 2,1987
Segovia last concert was in Miami, Florida on 4 April 1987.
Hardly a performance that is considered possible for a guitarist in his mid-80s to show.
Ineguagliabile
Un viejo bardo ante príncipes, tocando al mismo Narvaez. Tal como en la era medieval.
What is the accurate name of the short piece he plays to end his performance? I’ve seen various statements and I wish to be able to get the score thank you
It's El noi de la Mare from Diez Canciones Populares Cantalanas (Ten Catalan Folksongs) by Llobet.
Tune list please.
1980年7月27日、日比谷公会堂二階席前列で聞いた。正しくは「観た」かな？ 大ホールでマイク無しだから、よく聞こえなかった（笑） 設定ミス❔だと思った。 セゴビアのコンディションも良くなかった。 このライブ映像は素敵だね♫
