Aliosha de Santis Plays Allegro by Marcello

ByBradford Werner
2023

Aliosha de Santis performs Allegro by Benedetto Marcello (1686-1739) on a 1954 Hermann Hauser II Classical Guitar. This comes via Siccas Guitars and their YouTube channel. Very spirited performance with a rhythmic drive and Baroque momentum rarely heard on guitar. There was no reference to what the movement is from but I would assume it is an arrangement of one of the harpsichord works. If anyone knows please leave a comment below. You can find a bio on Aliosha de Santis via Siccas.
