Text from BPSG as reported by Ries de Hilster: November, 1947 will be remembered by Dutch guitar lovers for the visit of Andrés Segovia to their country. On November 1 th th th and 19 he played concertos by Ponce and Castelnuovo-Tedesco with Symphony Orchestras of The Hague and Utrecht. On November 9 and 20 in The Hague and on th th th November 10 and 20 in Amsterdam he gave successful concerts. His broadcast from Radio Hilversum 1 on Nov. 9 included Sarabande (Handel), Menuet and Vivo e Energico (Tredesco)[sic], Granada and Sevilla (Albeniz). The magazine Mandolinata, which is edited by Ries de Hilster, has issued a Special Segovia number with a new portrait of the Maestro on the front page.
