An emoticon will not do. Thank you for offering this time of transport to a different waking up space. Among many things said by Segovia in the film, I nodded my head when he spoke of the effect of turmoil across all the arts. While listening, the day has replaced the darkness. I will go out with this beautiful film in my head.
I watched the video, but not hanging on every word. I recall him mentioning flamenco, but not disdaining it. He was just into another type of music.They also told me that he disdained flamenco.
Ahhh, more strife and conflict among the virtuosi. I suppose it is not surprising, but it is sad.
@gerardcarey very interesting. Out of curiosity, which did you prefer? I liked the Williams' rendition better.
I'm with Williams all the way, in the fluidity and tone of his rendition. However I feel that the Segovia recording itself is lacking in quality and clarity so perhaps a comparison is unfair.@gerardcarey very interesting. Out of curiosity, which did you prefer? I liked the Williams' rendition better.
Segovia was a complicated person with many views that probably rub some people up the wrong way. He was an undisputed Maestro of the guitar.C clearly, your comment prompted me to dig deeper. Now I have the ten things I needed to know about Andrés Segovia.
And I found that he said this: "Paco de Lucía no es ni flamenco ni músico, sólo tiene unos dedos listos". (Paco de Lucía is neither flamenco nor a musician, he just has some really clever fingers.”) I think that tips the scale for me in favor of Paco de Lucía and flamenco, but I don’t deny Segovia’s genius.
