Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco: 1st series from "Platero and I" 00:00 | I. Platero 02:51 | II. Melancolía 07:08 | III. Angelus 11:13 | IV. Golondrinas 15:23 | V. La Arrulladora
From listening to very many of his recordings [and even seeing him live c.1980], I have to assume he had use of the best sounding guitars ever made. How he added to this by making them 'sing' in his unique way, remains a mystery. His range of tones/effects is so wide and expressive and his use of vibrato so deep and rich - compared to most other players.
Apparently his many trips to take part in the Bavarian Guitar Music scene, where he scored some Hausers, played a lot into his crafting of his art. No doubt his 'Spanishness' shines through as a major element of his playing, but people like Carlos Gardel were also playing beautiful guitar tunes, as was the case all over South and Central America. Perhaps there's a rich vein of music, that by virtue lost because of the language barrier, is yet to be discovered, and help unthread the mystery that is Andres Segovia :)
Sad that pieces like these are not more commonly found on the guitar repertoire today. I wonder why that is, since it is beautiful art, that doubtless pairs well with the poetry. Thank you very much uploading this gem. Much love 🥰
Sadly Modern guitarists are more focused on Piano sounding guitar designs and musicianship Segovia “dreamed” with the music And his heart spoke through his Hauser And his great Ramírez guitars People simply don’t dare to dream as he did Not play with his “love” of music 👌

In my opinion, this is Segovia at his zenith. The 1950's and early 60's. No one can draw poetry from the instrument like him.
I agree, both for studio recordings and live performances.
@@segovianaofficial second that opinion, Segovia was a magician.
Unreal fucking real !!!! Period !! So kick ass!!!! Crying 😢
This was one of the first recordings I ever heard from Andreas Segovia.
one of mine also. Segovia on stage and Platero and I on vinyl was the best. I first heard it in 1971 just freshly discharged from the Army.
Amazing sounds by the father of modern classical guitar. He was a great musician and his sound will always be Inimitable.
12:51 one of the best passages in guitar repertoire

@@sirrobinofloxley7156 Perhaps the answer lies in the fact that the Maestro is a poet, who only by chance, by the will of fate, picked up the guitar.
That is the reason for sure.................@@РавильКаримов-б8п
@@РавильКаримов-б8пbeautiful say thank you
Segovia siempre nos sorprende con su encantó!!!
❤️ Bravo !!!! 👏👏👏

Perhaps lack of availability of sheet music or tablature? But yes, I agree
Sadly
Modern guitarists are more focused on
Piano sounding guitar designs and musicianship
Segovia “dreamed” with the music
And his heart spoke through his Hauser
And his great Ramírez guitars
People simply don’t dare to dream as he did
Not play with his “love” of music
👌
@@thomassaldivar9879 indeed
The whole room passes to this age once the Bluetooth begins.
Incredibly beautiful !! Thank you for finding this treasure
Joaquim Simões it’s a pleasure!
Maravilloso ! Bellísimo, magico
There’s just no end to Tedesco’s guitar rep is there
No, he wrote a huge amount of guitar music, not all of it for Segovia.
!!!! SUBLIME !!! CELESTIAL !!!
Does anyone know which guitar Segovia used on these Decca recordings ? Hauser ?
It was the Hauser II - the last year he played it.
Errata corrige : III Angelus V La arrulladora
Grazie! Maledetto correttore casuale.
Do you know who is the luthier who built this guitar ?
It's sounding like a Simplicio's one ...
Being 1962, this was probably his Hauser I prior to transition to Ramirez guitars
