19th century music – 19th century guitars

With historic guitars in hand and a lively performance style, Duo Historico breathe life into the seductive music of the 19th century Their small elegant guitars, which have a surprisingly large and beautiful tone, despite their size, bring an extra energy and vitality to this lyrical, yet energetic music. 19th century musicians demonstrated their ingenuity and inventiveness by improvising and varying their works ever so slightly each time they played. These skills have not been considered virtues in the modern world of classical music, but now they are being brought to life again.

Duo Historico are among the pioneers of this renaissance and they give, through words and music, unique access to the golden age of the guitar. Authenticity is essential for Duo Historico. Everything is from the 19th century: the music, the stories, the guitars and the specially sewn clothes.
