Andres Segovia | Complete Bach Recordings 1927-1947 CD

Andres Segovia gained the reputation of being the ”world’s greatest guitarist” not only for his technical mastery, which was undoubtedly out of the ordinary, but also - and perhaps above all - for his ability to give the guitar a status of ”classical” instrument worthy to stand as an equal beside all the other traditional instruments that were regular guests of the concert hall. Segovia attained this also through the wonderful transcriptions he made, in particular those of Johann Sebastian Bach’s works. The present CD gathers, for the first time, all the Bach transcriptions recorded by Segovia between 1927 and 1947. Memorable is the Chaconne from the Partita No.2 in D minor, recorded in 1947, one of the heights of Segovia’s discography.
