I'll probably be booed for saying this, but he plays it too fast for my taste. The chords don't really get to sing the way I like them to. Obviously, his playing is masterful.

Согласен 👍👍👍

Todo un mestro

Segovia’s words were at times as great as his playing. The guy was truly in love with the guitar. And in love with life. His thoughts about music, Bach, sound and everything were those of an inspired man.

The violin is more voicelike and human...

@@hankwilliams5622The guitar is more polyphonic.

@@bobs3354 Yes, but the violin sounds better and can be played more legato.

I wouldn't be surprised if it were true. This song is one of the most beloved folk songs of Catalonia.

My reason was Bourree in B minor. That was 38 years ago....

Sheesh! Do you really Imagine that Segovia needed to sheet music, having played the piece countless times as an encore?

😔

Hello, from 8 years into the future. Here's what Google's Bard said to my query, which is something I've always wondered: What was the last song Andres Segovia played on his guitar View other drafts The last song Andrés Segovia played on his guitar was the traditional Catalan lullaby, El Noy de la Mare (The Song of the Mother). He played it at a concert in Miami on May 20, 1987, just a few weeks before his death.

Estoi de acuerdo contigo

+francisturner93 Miquel Llobet was a Spanish and Catalan composer

@@lluisbofarullros3223 True, didn't know at the time

The song is Catalan. Musicians from Siberia, Spain or New Zealand can cover it (welcome, well done), but what is relevant is that the song is Catalan. On the other hand, I believe that it cannot be said that someone is Spaniard, when Spanish nationality is imposed on Catalans, Basque, Galicians and Canarians by obligation, by brute force and many and several methods of coercive and bureaucratic power of an expansionist, violent, colonial empire like the Spanish. It would be necessary to ask Miquel Llobet (in a context of real full personal freedom, without spanish pressure or intimidation), if he felt Spaniard or not, but in any case, it cannot be said that he was Spaniard when he is already deceased and cannot answer. What is certain is that he was Catalan, since the citizens of Catalonia, both those who feel Spaniards and those who do not, all consider themselves Catalan.

Evidently he didn't need the sheet mysic to play this.

Hans Van der Meulen why on earth would he need the dots for a simple piece like this. Not for this and probably not for most of his repertoire.

True! and although Segovia had some 500 pieces memorized, he still practiced sight-reading.

@@67madchops However.......! sight reading involves playing from music scores that you dont already know. It’s what happens in music exams etc.

sacreligious

1954

Armando Obladen Filho There must be a television studio. It looks like one.

1954

Carmine Catalano ce le vuoi indicare queste imperfezioni tecniche,anzi queste " tante imperfezioni tecniche"..?

mu99ins hip hop listener right here

hahahha nice. But i think this must be around 1950-60 or so.

Paris 1954

The author of the song is not Miquel Llobet. It is a Catalan lullaby and Christmas carol long before Miquel Llobet, whose authorship is unknown. Please, consult the entry: "El noi de la mare" which is the title of the song, in the Wikipedia in Catalan, Spanish or French, and there you will find this information. On this particular article, the English Wikipedia, as of December 2022, gives some inaccurate information.

unknown, this arrangement is probably llobet.

*_"Julian Bream"_* ....... This great British natural born guitar master also the greatest. I love this man played.

Nah, why do you think so?

due to the other instance of this recording being very dry. I'm learning this piece, and nearly got it. Great either way, and I may be wrong.

My mom said he had a very, very good guitar, and he lets every sound swing till the end of it's time... so i think he just plays it really "fluent", so by letting every tone hit it's full time it somehow sounds like a "reverb"... i think... im jealous that you can play it: P

Adolph Oliver Bush + Dont forget the circumstances of recordings, the room is probably brilliant for playing :-P

Without any doubt. The audio here and on the other Segovia recording on this channel of the Torroba sonatina have had the audio re-mastered and sprinkled with fairy dust without any doubt. I love both videos though and the playing is wonderful.
