Of the many mysteries that surround the history of the guitar, perhaps one of the most fascinating is that which shrouds the enigmatic figure of the 19th century Spanish composer Leopoldo de Urcullu. We know virtually nothing about the man or his life, though he left a legacy of some quite extraordinary music revealing a guitarist who has been unjustly and inexcusably forgotten and whose life and works deserve to be far more widely investigated, disseminated and appreciated.
