What he did to Barrios was an anathema.

I studied with Michael Chapdelaine at Aspen Music school 1976 maybe 77. Oscar Ghiglia ( a disciple of Segovia and the "old school) was the primary instructor along with Elliot Fisk. During a lesson with Ghiglia I was performing a Scarlatti sonata he had recorded. ( I used his fingerings FWIW). At one point he said "go back to measure 18". As I looked to the sheet music he snatched the score off the stand and loudly said "measure 18". I guessed the spot he was referring to and played.. He put the music back on the stand and said "see, you don't need to look at the music". I was happy when the lesson was over. I've also performed for a Leo Brouwer master class in Toronto. A piece he composed called "Canticum". I was scared to death. Got through it and he could not have been more gracious and encouraging, autographing my score. I was elated beyond belief.

"What he did to Barrios was an anathema"
Who is "he" ?
And would that not be "anathema" without the "the" ?

I have no position except to post factual information. ..
and an observation with information that counters ghe content of observations and comments of other posters.
Your comments suggest Segovia ruined "MC's" career ad that "MC" had no part in it.
Must we resort to politics?
I think we have had enough of politics in the last 4 years to last several lifetimes.

Correct reading and a quick question before jumping to conclusions might be a good way to prevent hostile response.

Anyway always preferred Ponce's music
Would have been great also if Segovia had approached Bartok or Schoenberg, but that was not who he was as a musician

Chapdelaine was far from arrogant. Fortunately, he has maintained a successful worldwide career without having to kiss up to Segovia's ego. Segovia students were there to learn, not to slavishly copy an old-fashioned style from the century before. The classical guitar became far more popular around the world when Bream and Williams brought it into the 20th century.
