About the artist

Ida Presti, (31 May 1924 - 24 April 1967) was a French classical guitarist. She first came to prominence as a child prodigy, before maturing into what some have called "the greatest guitarist of the 20th century, and possibly of all time.(Classical Guitar magazine, August 2007, p 28.) She also studied harmony and music theory with guitarist and luthier Mario Maccaferri. Presti played in public for the first time when she was eight, and gave her first full-length concert at the age of ten.
