A valuable historical document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!
