I recently came across this note in a Google preview from Alfredo Escande's new Segovia book Don Andres and Paquita: the Life of Segovia in Montevideo. While I wait for the book to arrive, I'm really interested in both Segovia's apparent distain for the Preludes, which I consider the peak of all music for classical guitar, and the tantalizing hint of the mythical (I'm afraid) Lost Sixth Prelude.
Here's Segovia in a really impressive version of the first Prelude. Note the little flame-war between partisans of Villa-Lobos & Segovia in the YouTube Comments!
