Andrés Segovia - Fantasia para un Gentilhombre (Joaquín Rodrigo)

Andrés Segovia Torres, 1st Marquis of Salobreña[a] (1893-1987), known as Andrés Segovia, was a virtuoso Spanish classical guitarist from Linares, Spain. Many professional classical guitarists today were students of Segovia. Segovia's contribution to the modern-romantic repertoire not only included commissions but also his own transcriptions of classical or baroque works. He is remembered for his expressive performances: his wide palette of tone, and his distinctive musical personality, phrasing and style.
Joaquín Rodrigo Vidre, 1st Marquis of the Gardens of Aranjuez (22 November 1901 - 6 July 1999), commonly known as Joaquín Rodrigo, was a Spanish composer and a virtuoso pianist.
Rodrigo's music is among the most popular music of the 20th century.
Fantasía para un gentilhombre (Fantasia for a Gentleman) is a concerto for guitar and orchestra by the Spanish composer Joaquín Rodrigo.
The four movements were based on six short dances for solo guitar by the 17th-century Spanish composer Gaspar Sanz, taken from a three-volume work (1674, 1675, 1697) now commonly known as Instrucción de música sobre la guitarra española (Musical Instruction on the Spanish Guitar). Most of the movements retain the names that Sanz originally gave them. Rodrigo expanded on Sanz's themes to produce a work lasting more than 20 minutes.
Rodrigo composed the concerto in 1954 at the request of guitarist Andrés Segovia, who was evidently the gentilhombre referenced in the title. Segovia took the solo part at the premiere performance on March 5, 1958, in San Francisco.

Will we ever fully appreciate
what a towering genius he was.....no note just played for the sake of it!.......most
of today's players have just one sound and dare not step outside that narrow way of playing!

I was given an LP of this work when I was 20. Alas the record is long gone but the music remains. Have loved it for the last 45 years.

This is the great thing about Segovia. The next generations of guitarists favoured a "clean" sound, that now appears sterile to my ears. They are trying to make the guitar sound like a piano. But maestro Segovia played the guitar taking advantage of all the instruments sound timbres, resulting in a beautiful soundscape.
