Segovia claimed that he "rescued the guitar from the hands of flamenco gypsies," and built up a classical repertoire to give it a place in concert halls. In recognition of his contributions to music and the arts, Segovia was ennobled June 24th, 1981 by the King of Spain (S.M. el rey Juan Carlos) who elevated Segovia into the first hereditary marquess of Salobreña.
Leyenda (Asturias) is a work of classical music written by the Spanish composer Isaac Albéniz. Originally written for piano in G minor, it was Francisco Tárrega who transcribed it for guitar and put it in its most recognizable key, E minor. It is the most famous section in a suite entitled "Suite Española" (Op. 47), noted for its delicate, intricate melody and abrupt dynamic changes.
Honestly if this doesn't get at least 100 votes, am leaving VS. Because next to the dynamite appeal of Jake Shimabukuro, Andrés Segovia is a thermonuclear weapon.
Back to Mr Segovia, he makes that look so effortless, it makes me frustrated how I can't even change between simple chords. Maybe I should start learning again...
i really hope this gets 100+ votes!
Long live Rodrigo y Gabriela! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8dPso79Z9I
I take issue with the comments, however. There is no need to trash one performer in order to extoll another. Whether it's Jake Shimabukuro, Joe Pass, Sabicas, Manitas de Plata or Segovia, each has there unique skills and charms. It's not either-or, thank god, it's all and more.
Why not add the clip to VideoSift fdisk?
Thanks Mauz15 and Deano.
Nice post, though.
Petition to sticky this on the top fifteen til Farhad gets his 100!
nice find. awesome video. but i think its fake.... if that were possible.
Its great to hear and see some one other than that Stephan guy who likes to sell the guitars on TV.
Great find Farhad.

Now we'll see if sarcasm is dead.
Are there no films of Django playing? That would be a shame.
I've always been a fan of Ottmar Liebert, Jesse Cook, and other such guitarists. It's really refreshing to see where they may have gotten their own inspiration!
There's a certain irony here given the comments on the votes in the Jake sift....

Someone should work out how many submissions actually get over 60 votes - not many I'm guessing.
*runs back to cubby hole*
Just for that, no vote!
nah, Segovia's too good...
I *will* get this past 100 votes!
upvote to all hell
