Ida Presti was an early classical super star, who has mostly been forgotten, except among her students and in turn their students. Her early career--she was a childhood prodigy--was disrupted by WW II.
Her solo recorded output, especially of her own compositions, was not large.
She also pioneered the classical guitar duo concept, working with her husband, another renowned guitarist.
Here is a highly informative video which attempts to re-introduce Presti to the world of guitar. It features Stephanie Jones as a commentator. Jones is major Presti fan-girl.
