For those who love the playing of Andres Segovia, here is a wonderful video of him in concert:

The sound quality isn’t good, but it does give you (those, like myself,  not old enough to see him in concert)  an idea what that was like. It is too bad that there are not a lot of videos of a younger Segovia playing in his prime.
