Paolo Besson: “Up and Coming Star”

← Paolo Besson

Bach, Goss & Regondi at Siccas Guitars

Paolo Besson arrived at Siccas Guitars at just 18 years old — already the winner of nine international first prizes and a face familiar to French audiences from his appearance on France 2's Prodiges, where he was hailed as "l'ambassadeur de la guitare classique." In this concert he performs J.S. Bach, a work by Stephen Goss, and Giulio Regondi's Introduction and Caprice — a programme that reveals the full expressive range of a young guitarist of exceptional maturity.

Born in 2006 near Lyon, Besson studied at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris at age 17. He was inspired by attending a recital by Roland Dyens in Lyon in 2015 at the age of nine.

  • Classical Guitars

    The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.
