desertcart.com It's a strange fact, but many of the most popular Spanish guitar pieces are actually transcriptions of piano originals. Of course, many of these actually use the piano in imitation of the guitar, and if a guitarist of Segovia's ability had been around at the turn of the century, there might have been a lot more authentic guitar music written than we now have. Segovia's particular gift, evident in the Albeniz pieces, is to make this piano music sound like guitar originals. In short, this essential CD contains many of the most famous Spanish guitar favorites in inimitable performances. --David Hurwitz Review: SEGOVIA LIVES! - i bought this because I have always loved Segovia and was interested in his own favorite music. I was drawn to classical guitar because of failing hearing--I could hear lower, acoustic guitar tones better than upper. And here it is--the wonderful Segovia playing his favorite pieces! A living legacy in a well-mastered CD. What more can one want? Review: The Legendary Andres Segovia: My Favorite Works - I am so happy, my daughter loved my first copy of this and lost it, it took 10 years to replace it and I am so happy. The cd came and was packed so it made it with no damage. Thank you for having the others as well will be ordering soon.

SEGOVIA LIVES!
i bought this because I have always loved Segovia and was interested in his own favorite music. I was drawn to classical guitar because of failing hearing--I could hear lower, acoustic guitar tones better than upper. And here it is--the wonderful Segovia playing his favorite pieces! A living legacy in a well-mastered CD. What more can one want?

Segovia is the Master
There is nothing to say about the excellence of Mr. Segovia and his ability on the classical guitar. Anything he does on the guitar is worth listening to. I find classical music very relaxing to listen to pretty much all day long.

What can I say?
Andres Segovia cannot be criticized; this playing is as good as Meryl Streep's acting. I gave it four stars only because I have a recording of his playing only Bach, which I like a little better.

Segovia incomparable!
What can I say? Though other fine guitarists have recorded much of the music on this CD, Segovia's playing is incomparable, a joy to hear, the standard by which all other guitarists must be judged. This CD, Volume 3 of The Segovia Collection (MCA) contains several works by Albeniz (Sevilla, Granada, Zambra Granadina, Leyenda), as well as those by Torroba (Piezas Carateristicas), Tarrega (Recuerdos de la Alhambra), Granados (Tonadilla), Turina (Sevillana), and Sor (excerpts from the Twenty Studies) among others. This CD is worth having even if it mostly duplicates DGG's The Segovia Collection (4 CDs) because it gathers so many fine works on one CD, it is a fine example of Segovia'a art, and it is attractive pricewise for the collector not interested in purchasing the 4CD DGG Box. Though out of print, it is available from Amazon.com's Marketplace Sellers. One correction: Segovia performs Sor Studies nos. 14 in A Major, 16 in G Major, 5 in B Minor, and 12 in A Major, NOT the Studies listed (the keys that the studies are in is correct).

セゴビアにはまってましていろんなCDを買いましたけど、このアルバムが一番素晴らしいと思います。 結構、他のアルバムでも取り上げられてる演奏があるのでそれはいいとしても 1曲目のセビリアが本当に素晴らしいので、これを聴くだけでも価値あるアルバムです。 変幻自在に繰り出される煌びやかな音色と、その場の空気を全て持っていくような余韻、音楽とはいかなるものか、生命の喜びとは何たるかを奏でているようです。 この作品集は、セゴビアの歴史に残る名演ばかりですので、僕がセゴビアのアルバムをおすすめするとしたらこの1枚になります。
