Two masters of the 11-string archguitar unite for performances of Bach, Scarletti, and original compositions.

Since the early 1980s, Peter Blanchette has been known around the world as the inventor of the 11-string archguitar. Archguitar Duo’s rapturous performances and recordings of internationally acclaimed arrangements and compositions span from the medieval, renaissance, and baroque music, to World Music, New Music, Pop Music, and his own original pieces. Blanchette welcomes back Spanish guitarist Mané Larregla, to perform masterpieces arranged during the Covid pandemic, which they have just released as an album entitled, “The Big Sound / El Gran Sonido.” - music of J.S. Bach, Domenico Scarlatti, John Dowland, Pierre Attaingnant, and more.

There is no sound like the sound of two archguitars; it’s mesmerizing.
