Nice! I like his articulation of the various lines in this piece. Oddly, even though I play classical guitar to some extent, I've not listened to Segovia as much as I have to his musical descendants, such as John Williams, Christopher Parkening, and (my favorite) Julian Bream. Thanks for sharing!

Segovia was masterful

When he was asked in his early 90's why he still practiced every day, his response was: "Some day I may be good at playing guitar"

Thanks for sharing this.

Oh, everything Segovia! The father of classical guitar, he is simply legendary. While you're at it you might like Ana Vidovic, a student of his and stylistically apparent. Here is a truly great performance: https://youtu.be/e26zZ83Oh6Y

I’ve become very fond of classical guitar in recent years. I’m a big fan of Sharon Isbin in particular.

Thanks, Al.

There are enough suggestions here to more than fill my classical guitar needs; I'm grateful to everyone for them.
