Italian singer, guitarist, and composer Luigi Legnani (1790-1877) gave concerts across Europe, frequently with his friend Niccolo Paganini. Legnani’s compositions continue the style of Mauro Giuliani, who pioneered serious works for the guitar. This release includes original works by Legnani and fantasies on opera melodies for flute and guitar, a brilliantly complimentary combination.
