MORE ABOUT THIS TITLE

Sonatas for Baroque Guitar
Works by Ludovico Roncalli
Richard Savino, guitar

 In April, Dorian present world-renowned lutenist and guitarist Richard Savino in the recording Sonatas for Baroque Guitar. This recording will mark Savino's first release on Dorian. Sonatas for Baroque Guitar features six sonatas from Capricci Armonicci (Harmonic Caprices 1692) by Count Ludovico Roncalli (!654-1713). The music is described by Savino as "...possessing Italianate lyricism combined with a French textural aesthetic." Consisting of nine 'suites' organized by key, it is one of the last publications of Italian music for the five-course baroque guitar printed during this period.

The sonatas, having first been transcribed by Italian Musicologist Oscar Chilosotti 1881, are well known to modern classical guitarists and have long been unavailable on baroque guitar. They are performed on an elegantly crafted instrument copied from an original Antonio Stradavari by José Espejo.

Richard Savino's international performances and recordings have earned him a worldwide reputation as an artist and scholar. He is recognized as a consummate musician and knowledgeable interpreter of the performance practices of many styles and historical periods of music. His acclaimed recordings include the first period instrument version of Luigi Boccherini's complete Guitar Quintets, Mauro Giuliani's Op. 30 Concerto, Johann Kaspar Mertz's Bardenkange, and the music Santiago de Murcia. His recently recorded first volume of the series titled The Essential Giuliani has also received critical acclaim. He is director of the noted chamber ensemble El Mundo which specializes in 17th and 18th century music from Italy, Spain, and Latin America. He also performs and records with numerous groups including Ensemble Galatea, Santa Fe Opera, Houston Grand Opera, Portland Baroque Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, and Glimmerglass Opera.
