Recently, a message was posted referring to Andres Segovia as a bully. I think that's a little harsh, I know it's become popular to bash Segovia and that he had a huge ego, but I don't recall him actually bullying anyone into agreeing with his views. It seems to me that he just expressed his

Dear Geoff, Interesting story. It reminded me that I often think that someone transported from another century--even the 19th like Segovia, but especially the early music period--would be horrified at how noisy our modern world is. Not just concert halls, but everywhere: cars, buses,

I've just listened to his Kellner recording and for my taste, honestly, it has an unpleasant sound (even with his great playing). I don't know if he is playing with nails, but as the sound is so metallic it confirms your statement. Now, that is a true silvery tone, no sweetness
