Andres Segovia was a Spanish classical guitarist born 21st of February, 1893 in Andalucia, Spain. He is remembered for his expressive performances: his wide palette of tone, and his distinctive (often instantly recognizable) musical personality in tone, phrasing/timing and style, revealing his deep personal insight and expressive commitment in music.
This man is amazing, he transcribed piano music from Bach and other composers to guitar.
He has perfect control and emotion when playing, can't explain more, just take a look at these videos and see for yourself:
Asturias by Isaac Albeniz (originally on piano)
