5.0 out of 5 stars Clear Recording, January 6, 2005
By 
This review is from: Great Master (Audio CD)
I recieved this Deutcshe Grammaphon CD for Christmas, and let me say I was impressed as much by Segovia still in his prime as I was the quality of the recording. Most of the pieces were recorded in the 1950's, however the quality of the recording would lead you to beleive it was recorded twenty years later. Though I would not place the quality of the recording as high as a currently recorded digital CD, it is incredible. This holds true for both discs, though the German recordings are better than the New York recordings. This CD shows a side of Segovia quite different from the recordings and performances years later. Segovia's interpretations are much less embellished and considerably more nimble. Honestly, I feel this is the recording that backs up the reviews of those who listened to Segovia years ago and do not feel the later recordings capture just how great he was. This recording towers over other similarly dated Segovia compilations. I strongly suggest it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential!, January 8, 2008
This review is from: Great Master (Audio CD)
I'll keep this short... if you love the guitar you need this recording along with the other Deutsche-Grammaphon complilations (The Art of Segovia and the boxed set). The recordings are beautifully remastered!

They didn't see fit to put the recitation of the poem on "Platero & I," just Segovia's guitar work, understandably. You can find it with the recitation on one of the MCA Classics releases from the late 80's/early 90's (The Segovia Collection, Vol. 8), which are brilliant for their organization of the Maestro's catalogue by category.
