Penelope Shvarts Performs Prelude No.3, Op.46 by Emilia Giuliani

Classical guitarist Penelope Shvarts performs Prelude No.3 from 6 Preludes, Op.46 by Emilia Giuliani (1813-1850). This comes via Ex-Aequo 2025 Emerging Artist Residency in Austin, TX and their Youtube (go subscribe). Video by Drew Henderson. Emilia Giuliani (1813-1850) was an Italian composer and guitarist and the daughter of the guitarist-composer Mauro Giuliani.

Excellent performance by Shvarts with wonderful contrasts between the direct-extroverted outer sections and more expressive inner section. I’ll be making an edition of the 6 preludes in the future so it’s great to hear more recordings of the repertoire.
