Composers: Tarrega, Albeniz, Castelnuovo-Tedesco Villa-Lobos, Mendelssohn, Brahms Schumann, Bach, Ponce Andrés Segovia, for all lovers of classical guitar, has been a symbol of rebirth for this beautiful instrument, capable of unique tone-colour and expressive nuances but once considered of secondary importance in official music circles. This CD offers a series of rare recordings dating from the early 1950s. The last tracks, featuring pieces recorded in Ascona, Switzerland, in the spring of 1955, are particularly noteworthy, as they document some of the earliest live recordings of the great Spanish guitarist.
