Antonio Lauro was a prominent Venezuelan composer and guitarist, born on August 3, 1917, in Ciudad Bolívar, and passing away on April 18, 1986, in Caracas. He is considered a significant figure in contemporary classical music in Venezuela, particularly in the realm of classical guitar. Lauro dedicated his career to composition and performance, recognized for his ability to blend traditional Venezuelan music with classical form and guitar technique. His legacy endures through numerous compositions, including waltzes such as "Tatiana," "Andreína," "Natalia," and "Yacambú," appreciated for their melodic beauty and connection to Venezuelan musical culture.
The works of Antonio Lauro have long been very popular with guitarists worldwide, yet there have been few recordings devoted exclusively to him. However, several recordings by Adam Holzman, John Williams (guitarist) and David Russell have been issued. John Williams is quoted as having referred to Antonio Lauro as being the "Strauss of the guitar"
