V 3: Studio Recordings 1963
) | Label: IDIS Catalog: IDIS6694 Format: CD Presti; Lagoya; Pro Arte Orchestra; RedelComposed by: Soler; Vivaldi; Haydn; Sor Alexandre Lagoya (1929-99) and his wife Ida Presti (1924-67) became, from 1950, one of the great classical guitar duos of the 20th c. Ms. Presti’s early death eclipsed what would have continued to be a brilliant career and allowed for her, and the duos, brilliance to fade from memory. This third volume in the IDIS Lagoya/Presti reissue series, all 1963 recordings, features four concertos – two by Vivaldi and one each by Marcello and Joseph Haydn (a transcription of a double hurdy-gurdy concerto) with Kurt Redel conducting, plus several duo encore and short sonata pieces by Spanish composers.
