Raffaele Carpino - Luigi Legnani: Guitar Works

Versatile musician, singer, violinist, luthier and guitarist, Luigi Legnani is a figure characterised by many different aspects.�Born in Ferrara towards the end of the eighteenth century, he was a prolific and acclaimed composer and performer.�Hailed in 1841 as �The Paganini of the guitar� Legnani leaves us a repertoire of over 250 works, most of them unknown, ranging from purely didactic compositions to those dedicated to the general public concerts.�Raffaele Carpino, after a thorough investigation over the life and works of Legnani, finally proposes and interprets his works for the first time with absolute fidelity to the original nineteenth-century scores, approaching the author�s thought with the correct philological attitude.
