Chosen twice in 1982 by Andres Segovia to perform in master-classes in Geneva and in New York, the guitarist and lutenist Richard Savino has enjoyed considerable distinction as a player, with early triumph in the Artists international Carnegie Recital Hall Début Competition, the first solo guitarist to win this honour. An active accompanist as well as soloist, he performs regularly with singers Paul Hillier, Susan Rode Morris, Judith Nelson and Susan Narucki. His recordings include the first period instrument versions of Luigi Boccherinis Guitar Quintets, Mauro Giulianis Grand Quintetto and Johann Kaspar Mertzs Bardenklange, all of which have received great critical acclaim. In 1995 a duo recording with British violinist Monica Huggett, featuring virtuoso sonatas by Paganini and Giuliani, was released. Richard Savino has appeared on the CBS and PBS television networks, has been heard in recital on National Public Radios Performance Today, Morning Pro Musica, Off The Record, Englands BBC and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporations Music from Montreal and Music from Vancouver programmes.

He is responsible for editing the complete works of Fernando Sor for Editions Chanterelle and a collection of madrigals by Francesca Caccini for Indiana University Press.
