Richard Savino

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. Savino was born in New York in the mid-1950s into a musical family. He took up the guitar early and played and sang classic rock music enthusiastically. Attending Lindenhurst Senior High School on Long Island, he won a vocal competition that a few years earlier had been won by future rock star Pat Benatar. Savino earned bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, studying with Oscar Ghiglia, Eliot Fisk, and Jerry Willard. He also took lessons and master classes with other teachers, and he was one of the last group of students to work with Andrés Segovia, returning for more lessons with Segovia even after the Spanish master snatched a guitar from his hands and told him never again to play the piece he was performing. Savino joined the faculty at Sacramento State University in California in 1985, where he has remained ever since, also serving as professor of music at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Savino has performed at numerous major chamber music venues, including the Cloisters in New York, the Boston Early Music Festival International Series, the Tage alter Musik in Regensburg, Germany, and with Baroque orchestras and early music societies up and down the West Coast. He has held directorial positions at the Aston Magna Academy and Music Festival, the Connecticut Early Music Festival, and the Monadnock Music Festival in New Hampshire. He has often played continuo parts in performances of Baroque opera, notably at the Glimmerglass and Houston Grand Operas. 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; these have been shown at the Louvre in Paris, as well as at museums in Beijing, Shanghai, and Abu Dhabi. Savino is the director of the ensemble El Mundo, which performs music by Spanish, Italian, and Latin American composers from the 17th through 19th centuries. Beginning with a 1991 recording of guitar quintets by Boccherini, Savino has issued more than 15 albums on Harmonia Mundi, Naxos, Koch International, and other labels. Several have focused on the music of Mauro Giuliani; 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 in the Best Small Ensemble Performance category. Savino and El Mundo issued the album Archivo de Guatemala: Music from the Guatemala City Cathedral Archive on the Naxos label in 2021.
