Guitarist Andrés Segovia did much to develop the classical guitar as it exists today, and he was almost unique among the great virtuosos of classical music in being self-taught. He commissioned a great deal of music that expanded the guitar repertory, transcribed music for the guitar, and was an influential educator. In the 1920s, Segovia began to extend his range of acquaintances among composers, and these efforts resulted in the commissioning of new guitar works that have become central to the guitar repertory today. Recordings by Segovia stretched back into the 78 rpm era; a large group of recordings was reissued in 1994 under the title Andrés Segovia: The Complete 1949 London Recordings. New reissues continued to appear into the era of streaming audio; in 2021, the Artemisia label issued an album containing live and studio Segovia recordings of the Castelnuovo-Tedesco concerto.
