Alexandre Lagoya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alexandre Lagoya (born June 21, 1929 in Alexandria, Egypt; died August 24, 1999) was a classical guitarist.
Lagoya was born to a Greek father and an Italian mother. By 1955, when he married the French guitarist Ida Presti, his career had already begun. Lagoya played a variety of works for guitar, performing concerts and recording albums, often collaborating with Presti and also with other musicians. Lagoya was also a successful teacher. He taught at the Paris Conservatory, and developed a new method of hand positioning which he believed helped people learn to play the guitar better.
