Larry Snitzler to Segovia, "You don't like the piano." Segovia, "It is a monster that screams when you touch its teeth." Snitzler, "But you have a piano in your living room." Segovia, "Yes, for holding the pictures."
He always had a way, in his later years, of making slower passages sounding like a heavy, emotionless dirge. He had such a nice touch and feel though for the more uptempo bits.
Segovia passou una vida intera tocando esto? Si conocera Atahualpa Yupanqui, Eduardo Falu, Abel Fleury, Roberto Grela, Hector Ayala… todos Argentinos. Estos si, estos eran verdaderos guitarristas
To me his guitars look like they didn't have long necks. Also his hands did not appear that long. A lot of the classical repertoire require long reaches.
Давно это было. Привет из прошлого. Настоящее есть и живёт развивается гитара, спасибо за популяризацию гитары во всём мире, в то нелёгкое и более свободолюбивое время. Не зря он гаммы играл, поэтому в таком почётном возрасте ещё и мог играть. Певучесть гитары слышна из-за вибрато, а гармоники запись нивелирует.

I would not think segovia would like this guitar, this because the contrast between treble and bass is not nearly so pronounced as the Hauser. The great stregnth of a cedar top is it's velvety uniformity, not it's ability to make contrast.
Bee Sheerhan Andrés did own a Hauser in his career but he stated that it was not as bright as he wanted it to be Which was why he always stuck with his 1963 Jose Ramirez until his death sadly in 87
Yes and no, dear Cordoba. The Hauser Segovia used for many years before '63, had a very very bright treble, but, a very mothey and dark bass. The Ramirez guitar had a brighter bass, but, on the whole, had much less contrast, which is why I prefer the recordings where Segovia used the Hauser guitar. That said, I do love Ramirez guitars. Be well!
@@Steve_uni.2290 Afraid not. He had many Ramirez guitars over the years and traded them in (reportedly) almost annually for a new one because he liked the crispness of the new instruments. He is playing a different guitar in nearly every bit of film you can find. Before 1960, he almost exclusively played his beloved 1937 Hauser and before 1936, all recordings were on his 1912 Manuel Ramirez.
the diameter of the each finger may contribute quality of tone production...Mark Lis...my personal point for Segovia's musical tone. Maybe the good guitar that suit the type of playing style for Segovia.
Scott Tennant must cut his right hand nails because he has too much long nails and makes dusturbing sounds all of the time. In fact he destroys his recordings.
You're an ignorant buffoon, trolling one of the greats, playing in his 80's. Even a twat like you would - probably - have a hard time making up idiotic comments about the 1948 recordings. Must suck to be a grim, sorry excuse for a human being like you.
@@Steve_uni.2290 sabacus and manitas de plata is more for you mitch i dont really get classical but there are some amazing players even this on a cheap £300 guitar. this puts segovia to shame th-cam.com/video/k695NNN1vKU/w-d-xo.html
You're right. Boring. But ... in those days it was unseen, completely unknown to the public and thus ... not boring. We have better insights in this music now, and Segovia did what looked best for him. And by those poor interpretations, he opened the way for guitarrplayers to explore 'old' music.
Segovia showed mankind the soul of the guitar ! The sound he made , will echo in the ears of guitarists for eternity !
Sound is Segovia's greatest asset. No one else had such a sound
Love that beautiful tone emanating from the master on that beautiful Ramirez!
Beautiful.
Thank you GSI for this post!
He was such an amazing man
The legend...
Larry Snitzler to Segovia, "You don't like the piano." Segovia, "It is a monster that screams when you touch its teeth." Snitzler, "But you have a piano in your living room." Segovia, "Yes, for holding the pictures."
Legend
I feel like, with Segoiva, the sound almost comes from "inside" him. I can't explain it. Its a way that he seems to draw sound out of the guitar.
Une légende de la guitare classique
He nailed it
Lol at the critiques..theres always those one or two people who think they are better. Lets see how you do in your 80s or 90s...
He always had a way, in his later years, of making slower passages sounding like a heavy, emotionless dirge. He had such a nice touch and feel though for the more uptempo bits.
thats what i like about his playing though, in an unsettling way
That heavy emotionless dirge as you call it is known as romanticism…
I'd really like to know this song's name, can someone please tell?
Raidue!! Italian second channel! Grandiiii....vai Andreino! 😆
Is Scott Tennant's CD still available.? I play an 80s Ramirez and love to hear other on it.

Quando alla Rai trasmettevano cose interessanti.
Piece?
What piece of music is he playing?
Do you know what scale length did Segovia prefer for his guitars?
Jeff Walther I think this guitar is a 660 mm
If you check the GSI link for this guitar you will find scale length 664mm 😉
To me his guitars look like they didn't have long necks. Also his hands did not appear that long. A lot of the classical repertoire require long reaches.
I believe his Hauser was 650mm, his Ramirez III instruments generally 664mm.

I had this guitar! John Dowland? 😎
Scott Payne No, they are anon Italian Rennaisance pieces.
The rabel of this instrument shows a tipical 1980s' Jose Ramisez IIIrd's one. IIIrd says he gave 1984's work and it wouid be that one, Ithink.
No, you can see at 1:39 that the label reads “3339,” which is, indeed the 1969 Ramirez that it claims to be.
セゴビアが本当に気に入っていたのは、マヌエル・ラミレスとハウザー一世であるのは間違いない。
この2台とホセ・ラミレスとでは位が違う。ホセ・ラミレスとは量産ギターに他ならないのだから。

I agree with your statement very much indeed
Same with you , be well.

Sausage fingers
Mark Lis That's a fact. I do play the classical guitar and sometimes I wish I had thicker fingers
Banana fingers are bigger size

Segovia had such a dry and clipped sound, broken in arbitrary places by a soppy vibrato.

Mitch Thomas, what sort of legacy or positive impact have you left on the word? Your "insightful" TH-cam comments?
Go back to playing smoke on the water boy
You have no place to enjoy the maestros beautiful sounds
