Segovia Sessions

Segovia Sessions – Scott Tennant is part of the Guitarcoop catalogue as a recording devoted to the original compositions by Andrés Segovia, a central figure in establishing the classical guitar within the 20th-century concert tradition. Performed by American guitarist Scott Tennant, Grammy Award winner and founding member of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet, the album offers a thoughtful and historically informed perspective on this lesser-known facet of Segovia’s legacy.

The program includes Estudios, Preludios, Anecdotes, Canciones Populares, and the rediscovered Fandango de la Madrugada, written in Montevideo during World War II. These works reveal Segovia’s personal creative voice beyond his role as a performer and commissioner of new repertoire, highlighting a compositional language often connected to his Andalusian roots.

With technical precision and stylistic awareness, Scott Tennant presents interpretations that illuminate both the historical context and the idiomatic character of the guitar writing. Segovia Sessions reflects Guitarcoop’s commitment to documenting significant repertoire and offering contemporary insights into foundational figures of the instrument’s history.
