Description

The Spanish guitarist Andres Segovia (1893-1987) was one of the great masters of his instrument. A self-taught player, he led the guitar to heights of technical proficiency undreamt-of and his unnumerable concerts took him to practically every country in the world. With the immense success of his transcriptions and editions, Segovia created a comprehensive repertoire of classical and modern music for the guitar in the twentieth century. He succeeded, in particular, to inspire the confidence of numerous contemporary composers in quite a new category of music for the guitar.

The present anthology contains the finest pieces from the repertoire of the unforgettable Andres Segovia with which he gained dignity and prestige for his instrument in the world of music of our time.
