Giulio Regondi (1822 – May 6, 1872) was a Swiss-born classical guitarist, concert pianist, and composer who worked in France and (mainly) in the United Kingdom.
Regondi was born in Geneva, Switzerland, to a German mother and Italian father. In 1831, Fernando Sor dedicated his Souvenir d’amitié, Op. 46, to the child prodigy Regondi, when the boy was just nine years old.
There is evidence that he was presented as a child prodigy on the guitar in London in 1831. However, most of Regondi’s concert music was written for the English system, on which he was a virtuoso, although his guitar music is probably better known. His works for solo guitar include a series of études, variations on a theme by Bellini, and five larger works.
Regondi died in London.
