This album features a new arrangement for harpsichord and guitar of Bach's six trio Sonatas for organ BWV 525-530. Extravagantia duo, two talented and learned young musicians, takes the challenge to confront themselves with Bach's organ masterpieces with a new and fresh approach which aims to explore from an unusual perspective a piece of traditional repertoire. Luigi Accardo and Francesco Molmenti dig deeply into Bach's historical background and create a musical language of their own. Francesco Molmenti began studying guitar at age 11. He went on to earn his diploma at the Conservatory of Trieste in 2003. He has won several national and international competitions since. Currently, he performs as a soloist, with the Res Intimae guitar trio, and the present ensemble, the Extravagantia Duo. Luigi Accardo was born in Cagliari. He graduated in Piano from the Conservatory of Cagliari and in Harpsichord from the Conservatory of Piacenza.
