I was fortunate to have played for him when I was a teenager. My heart was beating so hard I swear I could see my guitar moving in and out as I played. Had a few more master classes with him in the 70's. He was very kind and patient. He was truly an "artist" a maestro.

[@bobbyt1318]

@bill Bloggs I Imagine the maestro was simply being exceedingly humble, bill. Perhaps he sensed you had reached your full potential as a musician under his tutelage.

[@patlyons1225]

What a marvelous memory for you. I always had the feeling that he was a kind man and you have just confirmed that for me. He was a "musical blessing", I believe.

[@mercuryhelix]

@bill Bloggs that's some good deadpan, Bill!

[@amiribrahimalnajar]

You are so lucky, this the ultimate thing can anyone gain in his life

[@davidtokar4065]

BeeNB I did not get to play for the Maestro himself, but I did play for Oscar Ghiglia, Christopher Parkening and Michael Lorimer, each of whom absorbed in their own way, some of his beautiful tone, lyricism, and commitment to excellence. I learned the most from Lorimer, largely because I played for him twice. O.G. was a fine performer, but I would not wish him on anyone as a teacher. C. Parkening, on the other hand, was sincere, gracious and kind. It was an honor to meet him

[@hermanjohnvandiepen9588]

I once met a man in El Morro NM who told me that he rented a house for 2 weeks on the Mediteranean. Every morning he had coffee outside to the lilt of beautiful guitar music. Finally, he went next door to say thankyou... The guitarista was Maestro Segovia

[@vblanclage3980]

I saw Andres Segovia in New York in 1964. It was magnificent and one of the best experiences in my life. I had the opportunity to meet him in Montclair< new Jersey a few years later. He talked about his son. Listening to his guitar was a transcendental experience for all of us. He sent me a Christmas card that year. Years later I met a woman whose late husband's dream had been to meet Segovia. So I sent her the Christmas card that I had received from Segovia. It was all magical.

[@Bzcenci812]

To Blanclage: How generous of you! If I ever had been in such a situation I would have had a problem with my conscience. To give or not to give, that is the question.

[@hiredgun3286]

I laugh when I see discussion threads about, "Who is the greatest guitarist of all time?" They always discuss Hendrix, Van Halen, Clapton, blah blah blah. I finally had enough. I replied, "Andre Segovia." That pretty much ended it.

Saw him twice in concert. So wonderful. When he was very old. He did 3 encores. At last he smiled and said, "my guitar is tired, I am not!"

[@dollyjones6476]

A few years ago I was listening to Christmas music by various artists. When Andreas Sagovia played Greensleeves, my heart melted. All my life I've loved music from the 50s till now and never have I ever heard another guitarist that comes close to him. Shamefully, I've been under a rock for decades but I have been trying to absorb all his selections and teachings with his students. I'm absolutely in love with his music.

[@jacquelinevaneerden440]

We were newlyweds who had very little money but bought tickets to see and hear Segovia in AnnArbor in the concert season of 1971/1972. It was and is a highlight memory in our lives.

[@heribertoperez3753]

You have to define between the categories of music. With no doubt that Andres is and will be best interpreter if the classical music. But then you have the individuals who define the art of innovation. No one can take that away. Thank you.

[@chicosincho8290]

I was lucky enough to attend one of his last performances. He was 93,. And my sister Willo, took me to hear him play.. I just listened with eyes closed from when he started to play till he stopped.. It was truly splendid..

[@petePeter-jy2nx]

Andres Segovia made regular appearances on the Ed Sullivan variety show. This is the same show that introduced the Beatles to US audiences. I was wonderful that Ed Sullivan was able to spread the beauty and talent of this fine musician to millions of viewers. I also had the great opportunity to hear him perform at the Brooklyn Academy of Music with college classmates. At that concert - when the audience continued talking as he sat down to play - Segovia spoke gently and walked off the stage briefly until you could hear "a pin drop". One of my friend's guitar teachers knew Segovia; this enabled us to briefly meet him backstage after the concert.! What an amazing evening, and I even had him autograph my program!

[@earljaydillard]

I had the privilege to see him at Powell Hall when I was a young teen. He played by himself but you would swear that he had an orchestra in his guitar!! I could not believe the power of his music!

[@katsujinkin60]

What a tone! He literally makes the guitar sing. Its amazing what a small, modest looking instrument can do in the hands of a master. The music seems to flow straight from his heart. What a joy it must be to create such sounds.

[@dragonfly1124]

Segovia brought the guitar to the world. His the godfather of the classical guitar. Everyone else was a student of Segovia, or studied under someone who studied under Segovia. He was, is and always be the true master of the classical guitar.

[@dragonfly1124]

@@johnpoulter2680 keep in mine that Segovia never had a teacher to help him to know how to be a wonderful teacher. He was a self taught genius. Makes sense that he'd get frustrated when his students fell short every now and then. I'm not excusing Segovia, I'm just understanding that his ability to teach himself, and master the classical guitar all alone is the reason his teaching was tuff. Even Segovia's father broke his son's guitar and told him not to play it, to let it go. How Andre Segovia continued to teach himself is beyond me. He was like 6 or 8 yes old. I don't know the exact age but he was quite young. Segovia is an absolute genius. He even admitted his gift was from heaven.

[@raymocopo7340]

To my ear, Andres Segovia plays like a fine Blues guitarist in that he is telling a story with his playing. The technical aspects, as profoundly outstanding as they are, are in support of setting a scene and presenting an experience. It's mastery in service of a greater, expressive goal. I've never heard another classical guitarist with this level of humanity.

[@Boldstrummer]

Well said! I agree completely.

[@johnervin8033]

Well said, yes his emotional approach, his heart, is a wonderful storyteller. That is what enthralled me for hours in the dark, in my teens. Still does.

[@jorgearvelo4655]

I got to see Maestro Segovia in Philadelphia at the Academy of Music in the 1970’s. There were 8 encores. No one wanted to leave. He was amazing. I was immediately hooked and have been playing my classical and flamenco guitars every day and make a living with them. I also remember whenever someone coughed or talked he would stop playing until they were done and would begin playing again. 😊

[@jameshawkins8644]

You are listening to the greatest classical guitarist of all time. Others may come close....but no cigar!

[@jimmypena6696]

Guys, he is a historical character. He did an important educational work. All serious classical guitarist have to study and hear Maestro Segovia. The fingering on his transcriptions are of infinite educational value. He did an upgrade and up to date to the guitar. Guitar history is before Segovia and after Segovia. He rescue the instrument and rise it to a serious intellectual level. After him guitar has a name...

[@geezerdombroadcast]

There are musicians, then there are musicians. Senior Segovia had a magical ability to sense exquisite timing, and a deeply romantic heart to carry us away to places that we can only dream of. His music brings on technicolor waves of imagery of castles, and ancient windmills, olive trees, and scenes of romantic longing. This music should be played for all children so they may learn to become fully human. It's not for the faint of heart.

I remember listening to Andrés Segovia nearly 50 years ago on a record given to me by my grandmother. I still have fond memories.

[@robertomariovieyra6804]

Las interpretaciones de Andrés Segovia son definitivas, que es como decir "señoras y señores, así se toca la guitarra". Y si bien en estos registros, su ejecución es impecable como siempre, no sucede lo mismo con las grabaciones y el sonido del instrumento, que no hacen justicia a su arte. Tal vez las de mejor sonido hayan sido hasta la década del 60. Los dedos del juvenil Andrés volaban sobre las cuerdas. Luego los ingenieros no parecen haber sabido captar la sutileza de la guitarra. Virtuosos del instrumento hay a montones en cualquier país y tienen mérito, pero en cuanto a expresión musical y fantasía conceptual sólo he escuchado hasta hoy a un Segovia.

[@andrereginato3869]

Seriously though, I came here after reading on a secondhand classical music texbook the claim "Andres Segovia, the greatest guitarist of all time". I immediately called bullshit and still don't agree, but this blew me away. This degree of technical mastery is rarely if ever paired with an expressive performance, yet that's exactly what Andres has accomplished. Just incredible.

While studying Segovia's music on my guitar I came upon what I regarded as an impossible set of notes. It was impossible to finger these at 1 and the same time. "THIS is pure Andres!" I thought. I committed the question to sleep. About 3 years later the answer rose suddenly from the depths. L hand middle finger close 1st position E. RIGHT hand index finger close E note in 2nd position (G string). Pluck 3 E notes at same moment with R hand middle, & ring fingers plus the thumb. Pure ultimate Andres.

In the 70's, all I listened to was what played on "Rock" Stations, and if it wasn't an electric guitar I wasn't listening to it...and one day in my car flipping through the FM dial, I stumbled upon an incredible rendition of what turned out to be "Recuerdos de las Alhambras" which changed my brain chemistry as it applied to the guitar. I was transfixed by the fluidity and soul of that performance, and of course I waited impatiently to hear who and what was playing. I had vaguely recalled hearing his name prior to that moment, and in those moments I learned why.

I learned to play classical guitar in the '70s from a very nice lady in Charlotte. I was young and ignorant and had no idea who Andres Segovia was. My teacher introduced me to an old friend and mentor of hers in class one day...it was Segovia. He taught for a while and I was a typical teen - thoroughly unimpressed.

Father of the 20th century classical guitar. He created more pieces for the guitar through transcription and commission than any other guitarist in his generation. There area few that possess more technical ability, but his phrasing and tonal colors better than other mechanical guitarists....just my opinion. His performance of the Chaconne here is as good as you will find anywhere. I got to see him play once while studying guitar in college. He was in his 90's so his technique was rough, but his sound was incredible.

I saw him play in a small concert hall in Bristol, England in 1977. He was in his 90s. He got into a fight with the sound guys who wanted to mic him.

Of course Segovia should be given credit not only as the top modern classical guitarist, but also for his immeasurable efforts for taking the guitar to the world top concert halls. Before him, the guitar was only a parlor instrument. I would like to summarise the well-known generations of modern guitarists playing the Torres kind of guitar from the beginning to now :- 1. Tarrega, Llobet, Pujol 2. Segovia, Presti, Lagoya, Luis Walker, Mangore 3. Breams, Williams, Yepes, Diaz, the Romero's, Brower 4. Russels, Isbin, Boyd, Parkening, Fisk 5. Vidovic, Dylla, Ryzhkova, Ceku, Vardanyan 6. Stephenie Jones, Whittingham, Kanahi Yamashita, Xuefei Yang, Jennifer Kim There are increasing number of outstanding young players and teachers. So the future for classical guitar is quite solid. The same with the luthery, it has spread from its traditional homeland in Europe, particularly Spain, also Germany and France, to Australia, Japan, Korea, China, North and South America. The construction of modern guitar has also branched out to other designs to make use of modern materials.

I discovered Andres Segovia while in college in 1984. Bought a used cassette of his music transcriptions for Scarlatti and Bach. I was so sucked in to his sound and felt elevated to another place. None like anything else has ever reached my soul, and for me it confirms that there is a God and that we are not evolved. We are made by design to reflect the wonders of the universe. I could go on but it may be forever because I have much more to say. To say that I love this man and what he has done for me is a vast understatement, only surpassed by my feeble attempts to describe what God means to us. I don't know what kind of man Segovia was, but I assure you if he had any arrogance, it was rooted in his authority and mastery of music and his instrument, and well deserved.
