Edith Pageaud Plays Sonata 24 by Seixas

French classical guitarist Edith Pageaud performs Sonata 24 in D-minor by Carlos Seixas (1704–1742) on a 2023 Lucio Antonio Carbone Guitar. This comes via Siccas Guitars and their amazing YouTube channel. Great performance by Pageaud with such a direct intense aesthetic and rhythmic energy. When compared to harpsichord performances Pageaud really captures the vibrant style.

Just out of interest, here are some harpsichord performances via YouTube.

This video lead me to the whole concert that was pulled from, which lead me to look up her channel on Youtube. The performance of Biber – “Passacaglia” (Arr. Edith Pageaud) there had some of the most deft touch I’ve heard on… any instrument ever maybe? Unreal musicality — she had moments that sounded like a ghost managed to faintly touch the guitar. Truly nuts.
