The Legendary Andres Segovia in an All-Bach Program Main Performer or Conductor: Andres Segovia Instrumentation: Guitar Individual Works: Three Pieces for Lute, BWV 996, BWV 997 Three Pieces form Violin Partita No. 1, BWV 1002 Suite No. 3 for Solo Cello, BWV 1009 Prelude for Lute Siciliano from Violin Sonata No. 1 Gavotte en Roundea from Violin Partita No. 3 Chaconne from Violin Partita No. 2 Format: Compact Disc Record Label: MCA Classics Catalog Number: MCAD-42068 Comments: Andrew Ward said: A wonderful CD. The recordings whilst (obviously) old are delightfully clear, if a little hissy. The quality of the performances is, for me, flawless. Segovia's superb tone and intonation, his dynamics and his effortless rhythm make listening to this CD a lesson in humility for any guitarist. But it's not just as a guitar recording that I love this CD. The interpretations of the pieces stand comparison with any ever recorded, and I include the violin and cello "originals" with that. In particular the Chaconne is breathtaking. I think it's the perfect Sunday-morning CD.
