Thomas Viloteau plays Grande Sérénade Op.30 by Napoléon Coste (1805-1883). This comes via his fantastic YouTube channel. Viloteau is one of my favourite players for his balanced musical approach, virtuosity, and down to Earth videos. He’s a former GFA winner and the Francisco Tárrega competition and now teaches at the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University. About his guitar here: “This reproduction of a Panormo guitar was made by George Thomas. It is fitted with basses by Pyramid and trebles by Fine Boston Catlines custom made by Olav Chris Henriksen in Sommerville, MA.”

Werner, Thank you for posting a link to the video of Thomas playing one of my Panormo romantic guitar reproductions. I am still making them to be donated to music schools and conservatories. My FB site is PanormosWorld. https://www.facebook.com/GeorgeThomasGuitarMaker/ I moved from Charlotte, North Carolina to Gloucester, Virginia.
This was a wonderful performance, a beautiful melodic production.
