Andres Segovia

Andrés Torres Segovia, 1st Marquess of SalobreЎa (February 21, 1893 June 2, 1987), known as Andrés Segovia, was a Spanish classical guitarist from Linares, Ja™n, Andalucia, Spain. He is widely considered to be one of the finest classical guitarists of the 20th century - and one of the founders of what we now consider "Classical Guitar" Segovia is credited for his modern-romantic repertoire, mainly through works dedicated to him by modern composers, but he also created his own transcriptions of classical works that were originally for other instruments.
