I just can't imagine him playing soleares. Yes it's surprising at first, especially considering his very limited concept of flamenco later on, but in fact his first guitar lessons were in flamenco and that's what he played in his youth. This performance was in a 'preliminary session' before the actual Concurso, which he and Lorca did as a fundraiser for the main event. According to Segovia: "First, Federico recited his poem dedicated to Silverio (a great master of cante jondo, already passed away), and then I started to play the guitar, rasgueando some soleares composed by me for that occasion, and others by Paco Lucena." The crowd went wild and "the concert ended up turning into an informal juerga, given that the audience was made up of friends and acquaintances." Read all about it here: Andres Segovia: Sus Relaciones con el Arte Flamenco And [really off-topic, but you started it [;)]] if you want to know the real story of The Old Man and Aranjuez (nothing like the one you were told), read this (it's in English): Rodrigo-Segovia
