About
Beautifully recorded, the sound is far more natural and nuanced than that of their commercial recordings. The programmes provide a panorama of their varied repertoire, including a plethora of superb baroque transcriptions made by Lagoya – a Sonata by the baroque lutenist Lauffensteiner, Vivaldi’s violin concerto Op.3 no.9, and Handel’s keyboard Chaconne – the first two works never commercially recorded by the duo. Sor’s celebrated duet, ‘L’Encouragement’, written for himself and his student Napoléon Coste, is given a sumptuous treatment, and contemporary French composers who wrote for Presti-Lagoya are represented by Daniel-Lesur’s Élégie. Two arrangements by Lagoya round out the recitals, Poulenc’s Improvisation no.12, and Albeniz’s famous Tango. Never heard for well over half a century, here are substantial excerpts from concerts by arguably the greatest guitar duo of the twentieth century – Ida Presti and Alexandre Lagoya.
