Romantic Guitar Duets Sheet Music - Classical & Modern Love Songs for Two Guitars - Perfect for Weddings, Anniversaries & Romantic Evenings

Ida Presti and her husband Alexandre Lagoya formed what has been called the greatest duo in the history of the classical guitar. They were to the duo what Segovia was to the solo instrument: they innovated technically and musically and made something like fifteen world tours, inspiring nearly all the best modern composers to write for the medium, while at the same time generating an entire new body of transcriptions from instruments such as the harpsichord. They also inspired and taught several other duos who are now among the best in the World, including Ako Ito & Henri Dorigny and the Athenian Duo (Evangelos & Liza). Their fame and impact were still accelerating when, on a tour of the United States in 1967, Ida Presti was taken suddenly ill and died. She was forty-two.The present album comprises a subset of their Complete Philips Recordings 3-CD set, which is unfortunately now deleted and thus hard to obtain. However, the complete recordings are also subsumed in the 6-CD tribute, L'Art de Alexandre Lagoya.At its original price, this was a bargain purchase. Second-hand, you will of course draw your own conclusions.
