About
Described by BBC Music Magazine as ‘A worthy successor to Julian Bream’, the Australian-born guitarist Craig Ogden is one of the most exciting artists of his generation. He studied guitar from the age of seven and in 2004 became the youngest instrumentalist to receive a Fellowship Award from the Royal Northern College of Music. He has performed concertos with many of the world’s leading orchestras and numerous composers have written works specially for him. Despite a diverse and extensive discography, Craig Ogden had never made an album based on his regular recital repertoire. This latest album consists of pieces he regularly plays in concert and includes a wide variety of music, spanning three centuries. Offering both transcriptions and original works, it is all music that he loves to play, and a programme that reflects the wonderful diversity within the repertoire of the modern classical guitar.

Ogden, as ever, puts his own convincing mark on works such as the Granados Andaluza and the Villa-Lobos Chôros No. 12, from microsecond caesura, to decisions on where to accent, where to hold back and where to let loose...Of the Bach selection from his Suite in E major, BWV 996, the ‘Sarabande’ stands out, sombre, introspective and beautifully done, whilst the ‘Bourrée’ is thoroughly alive with the dance.
July 2021
There’s a firm suppleness, a bravura, running like a live wire from Ogden’s opening Scarlatti, with its miniature rococo orchestrations, through to the final work, Miroslav Tadic´’s exuberant Walk Dance.
