 | Essential Guitar: 33 Guitar Masterpieces [Read More ...]
good buy:Bought this CD set for my 11-year-old son who's been taking classical guitar lessons for 3 years, just for some broader exposure. He likes it, I like it. It's got quite a few pieces that sound challenging to him and that he'd like to try, so it's doing its intended job. |

Description: DG has put together a fascinating compilation of Segovia's art that reminds us what a protean figure he was. Segovia single-handedly put the instrument on the map by making classical guitar concerts popular events, broadening the instrument's repertory through commissions and tra... |

Review: Essential! :I'll keep this short... if you love the guitar you need this recording along with the other Deutsche-Grammaphon complilations (The Art of Segovia and the boxed set). The recordings are beautifully remastered!

 | Andrés Segovia: 1927 - 1939 Recordings, Volume 1 [Read More ...]
Review: This album will please only serious classical guitar enthusiasts:Most people who like hearing classical guitar, but who do not play or are rank amateurs, prefer a classical guitar album where the guitar sounds like it could be playing in the room. Technology since the 60's has m... |

 | The Segovia Collection, Vol. 3: My Favorite Works [Read More ...]
Description: 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, ... |
 | Segovia Collection (Vol. 1): The Legendary Andres Segovia in an All-Bach Program [Read More ...]
Description: This collection of Baroque music consists of works by a composer that Segovia ceaselessly promoted throughout his career: J.S. Bach. As his compatriot Pablo Casals's performances of the Bach cello suites added so much to the great composer's reputation, Segovia's performances of ... |

Review: strictly for Baroque guitar lovers:As the title states, if you love Baroque guitar, you will love this album; if not, it's not for you. To me it's blah oh well, heard it all before, wasted $, lesson learned. There is lots of more interesting stuff to listen to such as Steve Vai... |
 | The Segovia Collection, Vol. 5: Five Centuries of the Spanish Guitar [Read More ...]
Description: When Segovia first began playing guitar at the beginning of the 20th century, the instrument was regarded with some suspicion in Spanish music circles as belonging to the "lower classes" of society, at least compared to the Spanish lute, or vihuela. So Segovia had something to pr... |

Description: These 65 minutes of solo guitar playing--handsomely, intimately recorded--are a pleasure to listen to. Russell is a true virtuoso, playing with an ease and assurance which gives the recital the great subtle, variety it should have. He's equally at home with the catchy, playful "Z... |

Description: This disc features two guitar concerts that were composed expressly for Segovia--Rodrigo's Fantasia para un Gentilhombre and Manual Ponce's Concierto del Sur. Both works have been recorded many times by virtually every major guitarist, but there is something uniquely satisfying i... |
 | The Segovia Collection, Volume 9: The Romantic Guitar [Read More ...]
Description: Of all the discs in MCA's fine Segovia collection, this is the least successful, though fans of the great guitarist will naturally want this collection of transcriptions of piano works by various Romantic composers, including Grieg, Mendelssohn, Brahms, and Debussy. The problem d... |

 | The Legendary Segovia [Read More ...]
Description: The Segovia heard in these recordings, made between 1927 and 1939, is quite different from the somewhat enfeebled legend who toured and recorded through his 80s. The flashing virtuosity and color of the best of these 78s compares better with the virtuosic standards of the '90s. J... |
