The Guitar of Andres Segovia
Hermann Hauser 1937
Author: Richard E. Brune
Guitarist: Andres Segovia
Andrés Segovia was the first guitarist to effectively transcend the limitations perceived by a skeptical public about the classical guitar. Until his time, guitar was relegated to very minor importance compared to the lofty heights maintained by piano and violin virtuosos.
This release is an homage not only to the artistry of Segovia but also to that of Hermann Hauser, the violin maker who, in 1937, built this extraordinary instrument.
The box contains:
- 1 CD with Segovia playing Bach, Handel, Gluck, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Brahms, De Falla, Moreno Torroba
- Color Book
- Full-size color poster of the guitar
- Full-size poster of the front’s technical drawings
- Full-size poster of the back’s technical drawings
- Full-size poster of the details’ technical drawings

Texts and technical drawings by Richard E. Bruné
The guitar of Andrés Segovia is now property of the Metropolitan Museum of New York, which has collaborated with DYNAMIC to make this tribute to the art of the great Spanish guitarist who died in 1987.
