This story starts in 2014 when I travelled to Madrid to study and document a guitar by Santos Hernández which is conserved at the “Biblioteca Musical de Madrid”. The first result was an article and blueprints published in Roseta magazine in Spanish. The guitar in question was owned by Andrés Segovia and as is so often the case with Santos it is a fantastic instrument. Soon after examining it I began to consider making a copy. In the intervening years I have made a goodly number and they have all been very successful. However, this is the first time I have heard one on a proper recording.

Andrea Corongiu is a young italian guitarist who is already doing great things. Numerous first prizes at competitions and many great concerts. He is a very expressive player and a has excellent technique which allows him to do anything he wants on the guitar. Last year Andrea came to Granada and bought a Santos copy made by myself and has played it since as well as recording this CD with it. I just received a copy of the CD and I find it wonderfully played and the pieces very well chosen. I highly reccommend it, objectively of course. Buy here!

You can also find it digitally on Amazon, Itunes and other similar sites.
