This is my all-time favorite musician. This guy was fantastic. Especially his baroque pieces.

Bump for one of the great musical interpreters of the twentieth century. When they used to describe the guitar as a "portable orchestra" they cleraly had Andres Segovia in mind.

He was an incredible musician. I had the great opportunity to hear him play in concert in the late 60's, unforgettable!

I got to hear him once in concert. He didnt use any amplification, but people were so quiet that if you moved, the rustling of your clothing could be heard.

I only saw Andre Segovia on TV. I did get to see Bert Jansch at McCabes (in a tiny, very intimate room)here in L.A. in 1988 though.He's an incredible folk-blues guitar player.

Segovia once said one of the goals of his musical career was "to separate the guitar from mindless, folklore-type entertainment." HEY..!!
