Description ▲
Born in 1893, and one of the most enduring figures in the musical world, Andrés Segovia was still performing in his 90s. "Maestro Segovia" captures the essence of this man through his pithy observations, wise sayings and the stories he told. "I launched my real career in Seville, where a critic friend wrote that my first show was empty, and that in the second show the audience dropped considerably. An artist has to move on." "My life's ambitions are fulfilled. A whole new generation of classical guitarists has been born to carry on my work, and they will have their hands full. The classical guitar is just beginning."
