Product Description
From Amazon.com
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. Just hearing Tárrega's familiar Recuerdos de la Alhambra in this 1927 recording is enough to convince you that you're listening to one of the great guitar virtuosos of all time. It's unclear why Segovia's often-sentimentalized Bach became so famous, and the transcriptions that lead off this disc are quite unstylish by our contemporary standards. But once you get past those and the following Baroque items, which take up only a few minutes, you're into the romantic and 20th-century repertoire that Segovia played so brilliantly. The amazing transfers make the recordings sound much more recent than they actually are. --Leslie Gerber

Nice but Noisy,
By A Customer
This review is from: Legendary (Audio CD)
As a casual fan I was surprised by the noiseon the track. You might choose to hear the noise as a pleasing retro background. This CD is probably great for Segovia experts, but if you're looking for nice background music just be aware it will sound like the old vinyl it was remastered from.

Exceptional guitar work,
By Astomis (Burnsville, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Legendary (Audio CD)
Segovia makes his brilliance shine on this compilation. You can't deny the musicianship in these early recordings that, if you are familiar with any of his later sessions, were never left behind. Buy it, you'll love it. I'm sure you'll be scouring for more Segovia to grace you cd player.

To listen both while reading a book an in silence,
By Audrius Alkauskas (Lithuania, now in Switzerland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Legendary (Audio CD)
I used to play a classical guitar once, but, of course, i never played like Segovia. If you like silent music, music for the heart, you should purchase thi album. Both for silent listening and listening while doing something else. It nice like eraly spring.
