- 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.
