What a gift I got today! I never knew Lagoya was this good. He hid behind Presti so we don't get to hear how magnificent he was. Thank you. I shall now go to selfTaughtGirl for more gems.
Thanks for posting this. I studied with him in 1975 at the International Summer School in Nice on a Bouchet guitar that he lent me at the time. Then I stayed with him in Paris for a few weeks as a private student. In 1980 he stayed at my parents house in Melbourne whilst on a concert tour in Australia. He slept in what is now my bedroom. Being his nephew came with some benefits. I feel very lucky to have had such amazing experiences, especially to have been able to listen to him practice in the early morning hours.
I too participated that course (both ´74 og ´75) - and I´m happy to have been there. Lagoya was the best and the most sympathetic teacher - and a great human being. I fell in love with the Bouchet. A very talented student had the privilege of playing it. At that time, Bouchet was very old and made only ONE guitar each year - and it was the first price of an annual guitar competition for young gifted guitarists in Japan.
@Gitanoz - what a fortunate experience. I was able to attend the recital he gave in Hobart on that 1980 tour and the memory has stuck with me all these years. You were similarly fortunate to have had that experience of playing a Bouchet guitar. I have to admit to having a secret longing to play one but at the prices they now bring I doubt whether I will ever have the opportunity.
I participated a couple of summer-courses with him in mid 70´s - in Nice. He was the nicest, most charming person - and best guitar-teacher, I could ever have imagined.
It truly was! We could "live on it" for a year - until next course was available. He was the sweetest, gentlest teacher for us!.... and very humouristic, when he joined us in a pizzaria in the evenings.
Wow! Thanks so much for doing this. I studied with Lagoya as a child and it's hard to find anything on youtube of his. This is a gem, thank you so much!
Valerie Hartzell Hi Valerie, gosh exciting you actually studied with him! I seen him in concert only the once in a church on one of those little islands on the Seine, I think in 1988. He played with a huge range of colour. BW P
Cool! I studied with him in 1980 and 81 I think? My mother also studied with him too. Yes, he really had the best use of colours on the guitar! LOVE his recordings, still study them.
I participated two of his courses at the International Summerschool in Nice -74 and 75. What an experience and what a wonderful teacher and person, he was! Always kind, humerous and always constructively backing people up. Someone to remember.
Missed Lagoya in South Africa but experienced Yepes playing with the CTSO in Cape town in the mid-seventies performing Aranguez concerto. Also memorable!
Thank you for this. The voice of the introducer leads me to think this is from the radio 3 series on Friday evenings called The Classical Guitar. I wish the BBC would reissue all those wonderful recordings com the 70s and 80s.
plumleytube Yes, you are exactly correct. I recorded about 80 of them (from about '79), I was a student at the time so my equipment was rather budget. I wonder if the BBC still has them in their archive or whether they have all been destroyed. A bit of searching on the web suggests the latter. Gareth Walters who produced many of them passed away a few years ago.
selfTaughtGirl 80! ... do you still have them? I think I recorded just a few. The programmes covered a good chunk of the repertoire and many of the world-class performers of the day.
I also remember these radio sessions with much affection. I used to record them onto cassette - alas they are long gone. Great to see that SelftTaughtGirl has the Paul Galbraith session on YT - always liked that one. What a shame classical guitar is very rarely heard on Radio 3 now.
I don't understand your question, but there are arrangements of the Albeniz Prelude available, though I don't know if Lagoya published his arrangement.
@@selfTaughtGirl Oh I see. I'll try to be clearer. What is the exact name of the Prelude? I searched for Albeniz+Prelude and most of the results were Asturias (because it is the Prelude for Op. 232 actually).
thanks! it's funny, i have this cd with lagoya playing tarrega's valse, and from the first day i knew i've heard the famous nokia ringtone "somewhere", yet i wasn't able to make the connection!! thanks again!

Les arpéges juxtaposent la sincérité et l'émotion. Magnifique prestation idyllique..
A master class with Lagoya would have been a perfect situation for any Classical Guitarist/Student.

One of the greatest to live. He's right up there with Bream and Segovia. Such an underrated guitarist.
True! He would have loved your words!
Best of the best! Thank you for great recording!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The inimitable Alexandre Lagoya ! Playing the guitar ; what a joy ! xxxxxxx
Lagoya on of the best three classical guitarists of all times,many thanks for this
+Σταυρος Κ Glad you enjoyed it. I think his playing is always full of colour.
For me, Lagoya, with his sensitivity and interpretative playing, is the greatest guitarist who ever lived.
+Bryan Tolland I have several of his solo recordings and his use of colour also is always most impressive.

With Bream he is really one with lot of colours in his playing. Although I love Bream’s player I prefer Lagoya’s tone

A. Lagoya - the greatest genius of the guitar

Then I stayed with him in Paris for a few weeks as a private student. In 1980 he stayed at my parents house in Melbourne whilst on a concert tour in Australia. He slept in what is now my bedroom.

+Gitanoz Amazing experiences indeed. I only got to hear him in concert once.
Thanks. I have some of my flamenco clips on RUclips. If you search 'Antony flamenco'.

Saw him in Mexico in the late 70s early 80s. What a great performer. Up there with Yepes for sure. Thanks for uploading.
Yes, I guess since he played mostly in duo with the incredible Ida Presti he gets a bit under-rated as a rather fabulous solo player.

plumleytube I've transferred about 50 of them so far, if you have look at the "Master Guitarists" playlist on my channel you should find them there.
Merci pour cette vidéo,j'avais vu plusieurs fois A.Lagoya en concert,ce fut toujours un plaisir...

He played like this for human beings, he also could play for the gods.

Albeniz Capricho Catalan 26:26
I keep on coming back to this throughout the years :) I wonder, what is Partita's name for the Prelude by Albeniz?

@@daneshed2105 They are from Espana Op 165. I have the Stanley Yates set of 26 Albeniz pieces which includes the whole of Op 165.
