Miguel Llobet Solés (18 October, 1878 - 22 February, 1938) was a classical guitarist, born in Barcelona. His early death is probably one of the reasons why he is relatively unknown today. His contemporary and, some say, pupil, Andrés Segovia is much more famous. Llobet was renowned as a great virtuoso and toured Europe and America extensively. His music seems to be enjoying a revival and there have been several CDs published recently. Both Stefano Grondona and Lorenzo Michelli have recorded his works.
His complete works as Urtext edited by Professor Ron Purcell is published by Chanterelle Verlag.
