Xavier Diaz-Latorre

**Xavier Diaz-Latorre** is a Spanish guitarist, lutenist, and early music specialist celebrated for his vivid interpretations of Renaissance and Baroque repertoire. With a career steeped in historical performance practice, he’s become a go-to artist for breathing new life into works by composers like Francisco Guerau, Luis de Narváez, and Robert de Visée, as heard in releases such as *Poema harmónico (1694)* and *Los Libros del Delphin*. His collaborations with iconic ensembles like Jordi Savall’s Hespèrion XXI and projects like *La Guitarra dels Lleons* showcase his knack for blending scholarly rigor with emotional depth, whether he’s strumming a Baroque guitar, plucking a theorbo, or unraveling intricate vihuela pieces.

Diaz-Latorre’s discography—from the introspective *Stolen Roses* to the expansive *Nostalgia: The Sea of Memories*—reflects his curiosity for storytelling through forgotten musical gems. A dedicated educator and performer, he balances concert stages with academic work, ensuring centuries-old compositions remain vibrant and accessible. If you’re into lush, historically informed guitar music that feels both ancient and freshly unearthed, his recordings are a treasure trove waiting to be explored.
