"The song of the piano like speech. The song of the cello, an elegy. And the song of the guitar was a song." Beautiful way of putting it! :)

The piece is "Hommage: pour le Tombeau de Claude Debussy" by Manuel de Falla. This elegy for the great French composer, who had encouraged the young De Falla, was composed in 1920, two years after Debussy's death. It was first performed by Miguel Llobet. Llobet was a pupil of FrancescoTárrega, and the most important guitarist of his generation. It was he who transmitted Tárrega's teachings to the young Segovia.

How wonderful to hear the words of the Maestro - He was the Alta Rebbi of the guitar as they say in Yiddish.

Very nice rare clip you came up with. Thanks.

Excellent, thanks for posting this.

I SAW SEGOVIA IN 1972 THE DOROTHY CHANDLER PAVILION IN LOS ANGELES I WAS SEATED PERFECTLY A JOY I'LL NEVER FORGET SEGOVIA WAS MASTERFUL CARLOS GUITARLOS USA HIGHLAND PARK L.A. 90042

Thanks for uploading! Gavin..

Very interesting interview (great rare vid) enjoyed.

The thing about Segovia is that his personality is so very captivating. If he tells you his guitar is the very best in world, you better fcking believe it! Such an incredible personality and a wonderful musician. I only wish I knew about him before he died, but unfortunately I was only 17 and was too young to appreciate hits talents.

Interesting video!! 5***** from Holland, greetings Bram

very fascinating video the guitar is a gift from hevan

Segovia & Debussy are legendary. I am a guitar player of 34 years now, but around 15 years ago I started playing the organ. I'm not a classical player on either instrument, although classically trained on guitar. People knock the keyboard instruments, but in truth a great musician can make a full range of subtle tones come from any chromatic instrument. Listen to the great Jesse Crawford play a relatively cheap( $789) Hammond Chord Organ, it sings! Listen to my video response -Clair De Lune orgn

1955 and Segovia still looked old lol

If you want to see him young you need to find a vid of him from the 1910's -1930's, and that will be very hard...

The music Segovia plays is "Hommage au Tombeau de Debussy" by Manuel de Falla.

which song did the maestro play in this video

It is interesting how a forum wherein beauty is so freely, miraculously shared, can become the playground of trolls.

Maestro.

gay, you just cracked me up! it's "took back the guitar to him, congratulated him," etc etc.

Was he playing his vaunted Hauser? That guitar was insanely 'perfect'. Too bad that shop closed down.

94 :)

Segovia was the greatest of all times.All this colouring is a lesson for all the empty no colufoul guitar school of today . The best romantic guitar player of all times by far,Julian BREAM is second,Alexandre Lagoya was the Third and then all the others He has the character and the sound of the fokl spanish guitar mixed with serious classicism

IS HE EVER YOUNG IN THE VIDEOS HE IS IN???!!!!!

umm.. add it up again, calculator maybe :) Heart attack in Madrid at 94..

@sjonniecas :D ajajajajajajaja He isn't allowed to even TOUCH Maestro's shoelaces.

Andrés Segovia Torres, February 21, 1893 - June 2, 1987, 104 then :D

sorry, i thought it was 1997 :D

justin bieber lover: justin isn't even allowed to tie this man's shoelaces.
