Samenvatting
DON ANDRES AND PAQUITA: THE LIFE OF SEGOVIA IN MONTEVIDEO
This heartbreaking tale uncovers a mystery in the life of one of the most important personalities of the twentieth century guitarist Andr©s Segovia (1893-1987). He married the widowed Paquita Madriguera (1900-1965) famous child prodigy pianist and prized student of Enrique Granados in 1935 as his international career was blossoming. They fled their native Spain under death threats when the Spanish Civil War erupted in 1936 and began an odyssey that landed them in the Uruguayan capital.ÞSegovia's support for the fascist Franco resulted in his banishment from the lucrative American concert scene while the travel dangers of World War II further isolated him from the rest of the world. During this time Segovia greatly enriched the guitar repertoire through numerous arrangements and collaborations with major composers via correspondence. It was also an era of happy family life with Paquita. The couple collaborated on two of the most important contemporary guitar concertos and traveled throughout Latin America to perform.ÞThen tragedy struck as the guitarist became entangled with a beautiful Brazilian singer in an affair that ruined his marriage and brought tragic consequences to his family life. In writing his autobiography Segovia could never face this period. With the help of tenacious research and Paquita's two surviving daughters Alfredo Escande diligently lifts the veil of secrecy and reveals a magical age of music history framed around the couple's decade together.
