      @@Olegstuff21986 I just read an interview with her after a performance here in the US and she explains exactly how I hear her playing, how she becomes one with the guitar, her baby and how she purposely projects that soft, non-metallic sound. so she projects a musical and emotional sound that in addition also catches your attention and pulls you in. it did exactly that to me.There seems no effort at all with the technique. She is truly amazing, very hard to listen to others after listening to her. I saw Segovia in the '80s and then his last concert in NYC. He was great and he would have been very very proud of Irina.. there are many great recordings, but very few actual performers like her...

      @Skinny_Karlos 7 лет назад +7

      I agree that Segovia would be proud and probably more than a little jealous - let's face it, that performance was Top Class 1A. Absolutely wonderful and I've watched it many times it's sooo intoxicating.
      For all those who dogmatically abhor cedar tops take a listen/look at this beautiful, lovely maturing instrument. For lack of a better analogy (like a fine wine) these instruments have the benefit of being 'the gift that keeps on giving' as we can open that case anytime whereas with wine you have to leave the bottle corked.

      @@Olegstuff21986 That wasn't meant to be taken literally. It might be a cultural thing but a statement like that, even in txt, one can almost see the speaker's facial expressions and the tone used. It was tongue in cheek. No drama.
      Having said that though Segoviawas a registered dogmatic who had two ways of doing things, his way and the wrong way. Barrios fairly freaked him out with his playing and improvisation and I don't mean in a good way.
      The guitar wouldn't be where it is now without A.S' work early last century, well indeed his entire life. He didn't ever take competition well, and jealously guarded his self appointed place at the top of the heap, though, imo, Barrios was a far better player, no question a better composer and improviser. He just didn't get the promotional help that A.S did. Could you imagine anything as beautiful as 'Sueno' coming from Segovia's pen?
