This man practiced five hours a day up to the day of his passing. He always sought perfection, but not in the technical sense. He translated the grace and beauty of the guitar as an instrument to the world of classical music. He put forth with great authority, skill, and artistry the fact that the guitar was an orchestra in and of itself. Whoever the turd-burglars are who don't understand what Andres Segovia brought to the world of guitar should take up the kazoo.

I had the delight of seeing Master Segovia in concert when I was a little child . I started playing classical guitar when I was 5. I was mesmerized. I remember hin staring down a person in the audience who was unwrapping a hard candy in plastic wrap. Also someone who was coughing. He played quite a few encores and ended by saying it was not he that was tired but his guitar. Truly a genius

He was a friend of my Grandfather in Andalusia Spain and would play guitar in his bodega circa 1916. Later my Grandfather emigrated to San Francisco USA. When Sr Segovia was on tour in San Francisco in the late 1940’s he was always invited over for dinner at their home and he would reciprocate by inviting my Grandparents to watch him play at the Opera House.

Unlike most guitarists who play this piece, Segovia has not turned the score into a fingering exercise.

I recognized the Alhambra immediately. It is truly a wonder. I "played around" with guitar in college, and was privileged to see the master play in Boston in the early '70's. It was eye- and soul-opening. He played a piece by Mendelssohn that was so delicate, so emotional, that it simply brought tears to my eyes. I didn't even understand what was happening to me. Stunning mastery. I decided that I would go to Spain and spend some time in Madrid taking classical guitar lessons. I bought an affordable guitar from Contreras and studied under a local teacher, which forced me to learn Spanish well enough to understand what he was telling me. He had been working on this very piece for a long time - the ligados are a challenge to do correctly. I lived near and spent many hours at Ramirez Guitars, becoming close friends with the sales manager at the old store on Concepcion Jeronima, admiring their workmanship and quality, and was privileged thanks to that friendship to have been allowed to play two of the maestro's Concert Classicos that were there for refurbishment. The inspiration that brought me to Spain came full circle, sitting there with a guitar the maestro himself had played in concert. I bought a Concert Classico and came back several months later when my turn came up, and had the opportunity to select the particular one that spoke to me - but I had purchased it to finance the trip, and sold it to a guitar instructor when I returned to the states - at the time they were 3 times as expensive here as they were in Spain. The "sound of Spain" was truly in Segovia's soul - to my ear, he embodied classical Spanish guitar musical essence.

It means that much to my mother because of it.

Doesn't matter how fast or slow you play it. It's all about emotions. If you've ever been to spain you instantly get the vibe. As long as it's played with soul, speed doesn't matter.

@@diydad7704 Indeed. I sadly have never been to Europe including Spain; yet my guitar playing uncle that left me familiar with this and another example by Segovia is what I know. The recordings, and my own practice until I can visit Europe myself.

They aren't rushing. This piece is actually played rather quickly. Andres Segovia just plays his version slower. Probably to get more audible detail and emotion in to it.

A sense of perfection. Put tears in my eyes. I wish I'd learned guitar and play a hundred times worse than this: would still be magnifico!

I have visited Alhambra 7 years ago just for this video. Because this is the best performance of this song. It still can make me cry. And no other versions have the spirit that this one has. I wish i was in Granada right now. Tears and salute from Türkiye!

So soft and expressive, I’m used to people playing Asturias so fast that you can barely follow the rythm. This one might be my favourite.

Every guitar style reveals a different aspect of the soul. Jimi Hendrix developed his playing equally as much as Andres Segovia developed his, yet two different ways of approaching the guitar emerged. That's beauty, if you ask me... the guitar seems like one of the most diverse instruments in the world with one of the broadest ranges of styles... I would never discredit one style just because another speaks to me more.

So very well stated. Segovia was thrilled with what Hendrix and other musicians were doing with the guitar - he loved the instrument so much. :)

I'm glad to know this about Segovia, because sometimes I doubt my playing style in comparison with great classical players. But, with a nod of approval from Segovia, I feel just a little bit more relieved of my neurotic wonderings :P

Cyborg Rabbit Hey, if you love playing, and respect the truly good players in any genre, what's to worry about? I listen to Clapton, or Prince, or David Gilmour and know they can outplay me - if that's even a consideration - but I love them. Keep playing and loving it. :-)

I'm not sure where you're getting your ideas on Segovia, R. Cudney. I was privileged to study under Alex Bourget in Montreal, who had studied under Segovia for years. It was he who told me of Segovia's excitement over other guitarists taking up the instrument and mastering it, in their own 'genre.' Segovia made it clear in many interviews that he was nothing but happy about the ascendancy of the guitar - from being considered a second-rate parlour instrument in his youth, to being the world-wide phenomenon it is now., in pop, rock, etc. I wouldn't equate making 'horrible remarks about the Beatles' with disdain for other guitarists. Not quite the same thing. [image: --] www.ahrichardsauthor.com

This was recorded inside the Alhambra, and arabic fortress located in the city of Granada, Spain. It is a beautiful and a dream inducing place along with the summer palace, the Generalife, and its gardens. I would recommend anyone to visit it.

In your own link you can see how stupid it was to call it an "Arabic" fortress. And even if that link told it was "Arabic", which it doesn't, I can also copy official links saying completely absurd things, such as the wall and the founding of the city of Tarragona are romans and so on. Intead of behaving as they instructed you in school (memorize and repeat), try to watch people such as Emilio González Ferrín, just to consider other perspectives to the subject, and also to come back to the field of facts and data, rather than old propaganda being spread by repetition and ignorance.
