Synopsis

Product Description
A proper title for this recording might well be "Le Tombeau de Segovia" - or perhaps more aptly, "Ommagio a Segovia." It is no exaggeration to say that most of the major works for classical guitar published within the 20th century are inscribed to Andrés Segovia. That this should be so is only aspect of the celebrated artist, which would make him unique. Segovia's influence has been so pervasive as to create a sizable repertoire that never would have come into being without him. The works presented here by his pupil, Stephen Robinson, are among those dedicated to Segovia by his own contemporaries, each of the composers born within a few years of the other and little more than a decade away from the great master. In most cases, composers who wrote for Segovia were responding to his request for music for the instrument.
