Andres Segovia concert on Italian television
A valuable historical document
In the 1960s, the Italian TV broadcaster RAI broadcast a fascinating concert by Andres Segovia.
I’ve found a copy on Youtube, the sound is slightly distorted, but the program very respectable:
1:27 — “Da un Codice Lautenbuch”, Six lute pieces of the renaissance, transcribed by Oscar Chilesotti:
1. Vaghe belleze et bionde treccie d’oro vedi che per ti moro
2. Bianco fiore
3. Danza
4. Gagliarda
5. Se io m’accorgo
6. Saltarello
8:36 — Johann Sebastian Bach: Gavotte
13:02 — Heitor Villa-lobos: Prelude nº 3
17:44 — Heitor Villa-lobos: Study nº 1
20:12 — Federico Moreno Torroba: Allegretto(from “Sonatina”)
23:26 — Isaac Albéniz: Sevilla
Enjoy!
