I dont think that was the Hauser. I think it was the 1933 Ramirez He had an accident with the Hauser in 1947 and damaged it, so he used Ramirez guitars after that.

82 dislikes? tough audience. Even if this is not your taste, he was the best at what he did. He helped make the guitar popular and is a legend. A master of his style and the sounds of other instruments that were only produced with an orchestra before him. He created all of that on the guitar. Neoclassical guitarists after him and now wouldn't have played this way, without him. Not just his music, many styles evolved after him.

I'm so jealous of this one statement that it's hard to understand.

[@a.s.v4261]

Cuando veo y oigo a Segovia, me acuerdo de Glenn Gould y su originalidad al piano, la importancia de la personalidad del intérprete capaz de no hacer caso a la tradición previa, y de su valor para hacer prevalecer su visión por encima de los convencionalismos de su tiempo. Esto es universal en el Arte, lo hicieron Goya y Picasso en la pintura, Stravinsky y Schubert en la música, Miguel Angel y Modigliani en la Escultura, Oscar Wilde y García Lorca en las letras... Segovia no fue creador pero consiguió con su esfuerzo personal: 1. Sacar del olvido a este noble y antiguo instrumento. 2. Atraer a grandes compositores no guitarrísticos, para la composición de grandes obras para él y para la Humanidad. (Falla, Debussy, H.Villalobos). 3. Atrajo una audiencia de público cultivado para la guitarra. 4. La enseñanza de la guitarra en todos los Conservatorios del mundo. Todo esto parece labor de Titan, algo lejos de nuestras capacidades, una hazaña digna de españoles de otros tiempos.

Talent, technique and love and knowledge for the music, and a lack of distractions brought us this musician.

It is very relevant what guitar Segovia plays, 1937 Hauser. I noticed that the modern days guitars are also well made using new machining tools & electronic vibration sensors & meters, they are quite accurate in producing very pleasant vibrant pure sound . So are the grand pianos , Bösendorfer being my favorite made in beautiful Austria.

[@rajonetwo4254]

Beautiful- this video proves what an exceptional man this was

[@mwmcbroom]

I saw him in concert at Jones Hall in Houston in 1974. At that time I'd been playing classical for a couple years and for 8 years prior i played rock and blues. When I picked up classical, I did so with a vengeance, practicing 8 hours a day and playing classical only. I was a guitar major at a local university. I thought I was pretty hot stuff. So here i am, sitting about 10 rows back, critiquing his technique with a certain amount of grudging respect when he launches into a tune that happened to be my semester project, and he's playing through it like it was nothing. Effortlessly. A piece that I'd been busting my butt on for months. And he was in his 80s! Knocked me down a few pegs, it did. That's the only piece I remember from that concert.

[@jo.jimenezb]

Wich piece was it?

[@bird401]

I saw him in NYC in 1966. Seven encores, one of which was Primavera, by Castelnuovo-Tedesco. I didn’t keep the program, sorry to say. But I’ve been working on Primavera since 1975.

Thank you Segovia on the master class on Vibrato. An aspect of classical guitar technique that most modern classical guitarists don't understand.

[@rom-ci]

I don't think so. The modern guitarist has clearly a technique more advanced than Segovia but It's great listening to him and by another hand, he had a horrible right-hand technique. Good Vibrato that's it

[@bachiano1]

​@@rom-ci Segovia had fantastic Vibrato yes - meaning that he knew how to use it effectively! But that's not all he had - he knew how to make Music. Same as Julian Bream, even more musical. Yes modern players have impressive techniques but since Barrueco and William started with their pristine flawless sterile performances. We ended up with a generation of expressionless music. Now finally some of the new younger players in the last few years are bringing Music to the forefront. One example = Raphaël Feuillâtre.

[@GodsUnrulyFriends]

I had the honor of attending one of Maestro Segovia's concerts in 1980. I had 13th row center at the Milwaukee Performing Arts Center. At the time I was a young hotshot rock guitarist. The arrogant little prick I was, I thought I'd pick up a few things at his concert. I was amazed that there were no microphones or sound system of any kind. I wondered how he was going to be heard in a full auditorium. He walked onstage, and I immediately thought two things: 1. here's a man who's been playing at the top of the musical food chain for almost 3/4 of a century in a genre he practically defined. And 2. that wasn't his usual Hauser guitar (I used to pay attention to details like that). He sat down, adjusted his tuning, and then LOOKED DIRECTLY AT ME! It was the longest 10 seconds I'd ever experienced! Now, I wasn't making noise or fidgeting; I was sitting patiently waiting for the Maestro to play. But he probably didn't like the way I looked. Then he got up and walked off stage! Everyone is like "what the hell,,," Then he came back with a different guitar that looked like his usual Hauser! I was thinking "He read my mind!!" He knew more about me that I knew about myself. From that moment on, I was scared to death of him. Then he started to play. It's one thing to hear / see recordings. Quite another to be in the same room hearing this music in person. It was magical. Every phrase was poetry. Every note was a work of art. When the concert ended, he was standing by the stage speaking to some people. I wanted to go up to him and introduce myself, but I was terrified of him. I regret this. I went home, practically in tears, picked up my guitar, and tried to play. I couldn't play it. I put it in the case and didn't touch it for three weeks.

Perhaps a blessing that Sor's 'Mozart Variations' has grown interpretatively since 1954. Granted that all contemporary artists having missed the composer's own performance of the piece, the original score is still the best guide for this lovely piece, allowing for its virtuosic performance to supersede its technical technical demands , which have their limited limitations and therefore their impressiveness.

[@fgamez1857]

Andres Segovia is " Father Abraham " of Classical Guitar. I have been listening to Segovia and Classical guitar since 1985

[@anthonypuccetti8779]

He wasn't the father of the guitar. There were great classical guitarists of the 19th century: Carulli, Giuliani, Sor, Aguado who were famous for their concerts and compositions for guitar. But by the late 19th century the guitar had lost its status as a concert instrument. The only great classical guitarists were Tarrega and his student Llobet, who were also good composers and transcribers. What Segovia did was bring the classical guitar back into prominence as a concert instrument and build up its repetoir with transcriptions of music by great composers and new music by living composers.

[@Ailsworth]

@@anthonypuccetti8779 Yes, but Segovia is the single element responsible for the popularity of the guitar today. His efforts caused guitar departments to be opened in conservatories and university music schools around the world. He brought the guitar to the world much like Bruce Lee brought kung fu to The West.

I rented the VHS in early 1990 when I was experimenting with classical guitar. I took 2 years of classical guitar studies in my local community college. It was a great experience. I'm not a master but know my way around the guitar and can read music. I cover way too many genres to be a master of the classical guitar. Recently I tried my hands on flute and noticed that my classical guitar reading skills paid off. I'm now 48 and enjoying many genres of music.

[@robhand7205]

I haven't taken the 2 years of formal studies but did take classical guitar lessons for about 6 months. I have been playing for 20 years. I love the classical guitar but with life and wife and kids it is so hard to spend the time to learn and perfect the classical pieces. I prefer Tarrega pieces as they don't require quite as much time to learn and sound good.
