Yes, two guitar virtuosos. I love Segovia. The piece he is playing here is the lute transcription of a movement from the G minor sonata for unaccompanied violin. I have a particular favorite performance on violin by Nathan Milstein, who manages to wed incendiary passion to a beautifully clear and intelligible reading of the fugue with its multiple voices. The section performed above by Seqovia begins at 4:00.Not too far a stretch in my mind from that to this.
I had a college roommate who played classical guitar. She was quite good, and it was a joy to study while she practiced in the next room.
We went to see Segovia at Alice Tully Hall (at Lincoln Center) in 1977. He was this tiny little old man and when he played it was magical, transcendent.
