1.0 out of 5 stars TOO MUCH COUGHING on recording with music!!, May 16, 1999

By 

[e-mail] (Asheville, North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Andres Segovia - The Gold Collection (Audio CD)

The music is, of course, wonderful but the listener is unable to enjoy the artist on CD 2 because the recording includes CONTINUOUS COUGHING, presumably of someone in the audience (example: CD-2, track 10, 3:16-3:22). I would love to get this recording without the coughing as I have a particular love for some of the pieces.

I have an LP record by MCA of London "Mexicana Segovia" - is this on CD??

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, yet sound poor sound quality., April 10, 2000

By 

Ian Hay (Oakland, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Andres Segovia - The Gold Collection (Audio CD)

Personally, I enjoy live recordings of this kind of music. The sound of the guitarrist's breathing and his fingers on the strings give it an intimate quality missing in studio recordings. A sick audience member hacking away with a cough spoils the mood on occassion, and the wild applause hurts my ears after listening to the soft music on headphones. If that annoys you, it might be best to look for a different recording.
