[@davidhealy7743]

It is quite wonderful that this story remains and with video what an inspiration still today. Thanks to all

[@B90-y6n]

As good as it gets. This man has changed my entire taste in the guitar. Such incredible hands…

[@violonistawaldirbetetojr.8259]

Andrés Segovia foi um gênio que Deus colocou aqui na terra .Dedicou sua vida na difícil arte de executar com maestria a guitarra clássica tocando em todos os continentes. Colocou a guitarra clássica nas salas de concerto e muito mais que isso deixou o seu legado.Onde você estiver Segovia,que Deus te abençoa.

Well said, and May God bless you toooo

This is pure gold!

The universe just snapped together in spirit , soul and body. Its 1:25 am with guitar in hand while I listen I play .

This interviewer knows how to ask meaningful questions - meaningful questions about a very meaningful musician 🔥

@Benjamin Zayden is it an app?

as in " As I hear you play today I get the feeling that you are very involved with music."

[@TheHallsofMusic]

Thank you for posting!!

The father of a million guitarists

Segovia quoted "Music is the most beautiful thing of all the arts and beautiful dream for human soul".

[@CoscarelliFan]

Awesome film. Never saw this one before. Fantastic.

[@rikoflishas]

Excellent interview

[@snekjuce]

My guy hears colors, he truly was on a different level.

[@TruthSurge]

Is there not one video of Segovia practicing? Learning a piece? screwing up 10 times before he gets it down? That would be an interesting thing to see. How he learns a piece. How he decides what fingerings to use, etc.

[@robertcronin6603]

This is excellent 🔥

[@bzeliotis]

Thank you!

Yes, I am the greatest artist in this as well as any other century . . puff puff. . .

Gracias a ANDRES SEGOVIA: ¡Me enseñé a tocar la guitarra clásica a mediados de mi adolescencia!, Recopilé sus grabaciones y partituras, La música ES mi disfrute PERSONAL PRIVADO APASIONADO. Because of ANDRES SEGOVIA: I taught myself How to play Classical Guitar in my mid teenager years!, collected his recordings and sheet music, Music IS my PASSIONATE PRIVATE PERSONAL enjoyment.

MASTER!!!

Had no idea Segovia was a pipe smoker. And yet he lived a very long life.

[@xpursangjock8724]

Well...he didn't inhale.

[@lawcch]

@@xpursangjock8724 e only exhaled all the smoke.

Taking the time to enjoy everything on palate of life....

[@SilviusLeopoldWeiss]

The sound, he gets out of the guitar, is second to none....

[@beerdeddi1]

No, many others were better than him. Bream, or Yepes "for instance" as he would say. The old grumpy Segovia never ever has would reached the level of Bream or Yepes.

[@zvonimirtosic6171]

​@@beerdeddi1 Dream on, Rene. Those you mentioned are very competent players, but their tone and musicality and imagination - especially in arrangements - are not like Segovia's. They could NOT turn the world's attention towards the guitar as a worthy instrument the same way Segovia did. Give credit where credit is due; they all borrowed from him, learned from him things they could never dare to imagine.

[@danielcruz8347]

@@zvonimirtosic6171Your words ring true!!! peace

[@Th3Alfisti]

what ist the name of last song Andres played?

[@mattymel75]

I agree with Rene. Segovia’s tone on many recordings is brittle. His interpretations were often just wrong. He played the piece the same whether it was Bach, Grieg, or Sor. I like much of what he played, but Bream was in a different league all around: better technique, much better tone, better imagination, and more musical. Segovia’s true talent was self promotion. People that claim he was the best ever simply haven’t heard anyone else. He’s not even close.

[@metteholm4833]

OH! These impossible text machines! If it was possible - I would gladly take a job correcting the misunderstandings made by these machines.,

[@robertcronin6603]

What is the name of the piece he plays at the very end? I love it 💜

[@arvingarrison1410]

Fandanguillo by F.M. Torroba

Today's interviewers could learn from this interview e.i. "shut up and let the guest speak".

[@airassonats]

Absolutely agree with you

[@OFADK]

Prove of God.

[@sebthi7890]

did he really said: 1923? I understand 1953, although in the subtitles is written 1923. 乁⁠(⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠ര⁠ ⁠ʖ̯⁠ ⁠ര⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠)⁠ㄏ

Hey man. Tried to reach you on NG but to no avail. I was hoping to use one of your songs in an upcoming animated comedy sketch I'm making. It's called A Burdensome Bossa Nova. Cheers! Chris

[@F0nkyNinja]

Sure Chris, send me a link when it's finished. :)

[@TheLeagueOfTasteAndClassCorp]

@@F0nkyNinja Thanks man! Much appreciated. To tell the truth I actually had the sketch ready and uploaded as a unlisted link. I was waiting for your approval to make it public. Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXm9fKCbd992jKc

Oh, and I'll link your channel in the description!

Apparently he was an asshole of the worst sort. But he could play.

[@Soytu19]

The interviewer looks like Julian Bream

[@steveb9325]

Yes he does. Where've you been? Haven't seen your post (in the Classical guitar world. ..) in a while. You doing okay?
