Andrés Segovia plays M.M.Ponce Sonatas

1-4. Sonata Clàsica; 5-8. Sonata Romàntica; 9. Cancion; 10. Cancion y Paisage; 11-14. Sonata Mexicana. Andrés Segovia Torres, 1st Marquis of Salobreña (21 February 1893 -- 2 June 1987), known as Andrés Segovia, was a virtuoso Spanish classical guitarist from Linares, Jaén, Andalucia, Spain. He is the father of modern classical guitar. Segovia's contribution to the modern-romantic repertoire not only included commissions but also his own transcriptions of classical or baroque works. He is remembered for his expressive performances: his wide palette of tone, and his distinctive musical personality, phrasing and style.
