  • A rare American 16mm educational film by Encyclopædia Britannica, featuring Jack Pfeiffer in conversation with Andrés Segovia. The film was distributed to schools and libraries.
    In the words of Segovia:
    "I Think that music is the most beautiful of all the arts. Because more or less, the other arts are too concrete - even the poetry. (It) has to deal with the meaning of words. In music, the soul is absolutely free."

    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.

    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.

      ​@@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.

      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.
