About

Australian born guitarist Craig Ogden is one of the most exciting artists of his generation. He has recorded for Nimbus, Chandos Records, Hyperion and Sony and has performed concertos with orchestras including the London Symphony, London Philharmonic, Royal Philharmonic, Hallé, BBC Philharmonic and Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestras. His debut solo recording of contemporary British works (Nimbus NI 5390 ‘The Blue Guitar’) received wide acclaim and a Grammy nomination.
 
BBC Music Magazine dubbed Ogden "a worthy successor to Julian Bream" and his various concerto and recital discs have received sparkling reviews from music journals and national newspapers.
 
Imágenes de España - these four pieces have been inspired by the poems of the Spanish poet and playwright Federico García Lorca.
 
Two Lullabies Chanté - these simple melodic pieces were originally composed for the piano. Their light melodies are well suited to the delicate timbre of the guitar.
 
Theme, Impromptus and Conclusion - dedicated to Craig Ogden. Although each piece is markedly individual there is a sense of overall continuity.
 
Habanera - finds its origins as a slow Cuban song and dance, which became very popular in Spain.
 
Fantasia No. 1 - this free style piece tries to convey that impression. It is technically a demanding piece with strong melodic lines that are both pensive and vivid, being well suited to the tonal expanse of the guitar.
 
Mazurka No. 1 - this is a traditional Polish country-dance, it is in triple time with a certain accentuation on the second beat of each bar with dotted notes being a feature.
 
Waltz No. 1 - both the Mazurka and the Waltz work very well on the guitar having been transcribed from original compositions for the piano.
 
Las Aventuras de un Caballero Errante - this suite of nine pieces is inspired by the classic story of Don Quixote, by the Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra.
