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.
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.

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
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

"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! :)
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.
Thanks for uploading! Gavin..
very fascinating video the guitar is a gift from hevan
Very interesting interview (great rare vid) enjoyed.
1955 and Segovia still looked old lol
nació en el siglo 19...
WHY BE A FOOL
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...

It is interesting how a forum wherein beauty is so freely, miraculously shared, can become the playground of trolls.
which song did the maestro play in this video
homenaje
Was he playing his vaunted Hauser? That guitar was insanely 'perfect'. Too bad that shop closed down.
gay, you just cracked me up! it's "took back the guitar to him, congratulated him," etc etc.
Maestro.
IS HE EVER YOUNG IN THE VIDEOS HE IS IN???!!!!!
