{"product_id":"the-legendary-segovia","title":"The Legendary Segovia","description":"Amazon.com\n\nThe 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\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00000I3VA\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00000I3VA.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bach, Johann Sebastian|Segovia, Andres|Sor, Fernando|Joaquin Turina|Enrique Granados|Isaac Albeniz|Robert de Visee|Manuel Ponce|Felix Mendelssohn\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
