Artist Biography
Guitarist, lutenist, theorbist, and ensemble director Richard Savino has undertaken numerous performances, projects, and recordings related to Baroque music and later periods. He is also a significant educator, joining the faculty at Sacramento State University in California in 1985, where he has remained ever since. One of his most widely distributed performances was a set of 25 soundtracks he created for videos describing paintings by Dutch masters in the Leiden Collection in New York. Savino is the director of the ensemble El Mundo. Beginning with a 1991 recording of guitar quintets by Boccherini, Savino has issued more than 15 albums. His recording of Giuliani's Guitar Concerto, Op. 30, is the only one to have followed historical performance practices. Savino's 2012 release The Kingdom of Castille was nominated for a Grammy Award. Savino and El Mundo issued the album Archivo de Guatemala in 2021.
