Craig Ogden
A household name to listeners of Classic FM and BBC Radio 3, both critically and popularly acclaimed with a string of No.1 recordings to his name, Australian born Craig Ogden is one of the most successful classical guitarists of his generation. Craig’s relaxed style of concert presentation, the diversity of his chosen repertoire and his virtuosity have made him a firm favourite with audiences. He has an international career as a soloist and chamber musician in recital, as a prolific recording artist and as a concerto soloist with orchestras around the world.
Craig has inspired and premiered numerous new works written especially for him. Recent highlights include concertos by Greg Caffrey (Ulster Orchestra, BBC Radio 3), William Lovelady (English Chamber Orchestra, Music in Country Churches in the presence of HM The King, and London première at Cadogan Hall), and David Knotts (BBC Concert Orchestra, Queen Elizabeth Hall, broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and filmed for BBC Four).
His programme reflects the wonderful variety within the guitar repertoire and includes music by Bach, Rameau, Takemitsu, Torroba, Koshkin and Piazzolla.
