5.0 out of 5 stars Strings of (later) life 13 Jun 2009
By Colin Mccartney TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The tracks on this double LP span the period 1952-1969 which means that Andres Segovia was as old as 76 when he made some of these recordings. Impressive.

Tuned-in fans of guitar music of all genres from the mid-twentieth century onwards will, I have little doubt, hear just how pervasive the man's influence is. For my part, I can hear echoes of Segovia in the works of Vini Reilly and Mark Kozelek.

There's also a timeless minimalism to these pieces. It is after all, just one man and a guitar (except for the last track) and many of the recordings are in mono (incidentally the quality of the remaster is second to none).

Every home should have at least one Segovia album and "The Art of Segovia" is, I suspect, an ideal starting point especially for those whose staple musical diet, like this reviewer's, does not regularly consist of classical music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome 20 Nov 2009
Format:Audio CD
This is a fantastic collection of Segovia's "greatest hits" with the guitar. Goes way beyond Spanish guitar but also more "classical guitar". Highly recommended and worth the price considering you get two CDs at around 78 minutes each.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best ever 8 Nov 2010
By bubba
Format:Audio CD
Wow.... what a great buy!! Its one of the best CDs I've ever bought!! I've always enjoyed classical music but classical music at a professional level has always been hard for me to distinguish, I mean they all sound absolutely great.

I only recently started getting into classical guitars but boy oh boy have I discovered something great in my life. So far, I've greatly enjoyed Julian Bream and John Williams and still do ... but Andres is definitely my favourite. It's the first classical music where I can compare the professionals and definitively say "this is my favourite ... I can feel the difference ... its a style of playing I enjoy immensely". Can't wait to get my next one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well, I can't expect less
Andrès's touch is probably the very best in 20th century, you'd rather better have this CD. But some tracks' recording is not so much perfect as you could expect

Segovia was ahead of his time - a pioneer of classical music on the guitar. It is unfair to critisise him for not being versitile ie not playing the more popular music. Read more
