been impressive for a man in his nineties or even older...

Not at all ...
I saw Segovia play on three occasions, the last time at the Fairfield
Halls, Croyden, UK. He was very old. Walked on stage very slowly, his
guitar brought to him once he had sat down - all to a standing ovation.
No doubt his playing was past well its best - but it didn't matter one
jot - we were watching, listening to a living legend. It was
magnificent, an experience I will never forget.
