Guitar Classics with Craig Ogden
Experience the extraordinary artistry of Craig Ogden, one of the world’s greatest classical guitarists and a long-standing favourite of Classic FM listeners, in his highly anticipated Goole debut.
With a career spanning more than three decades, Craig Ogden has established himself as one of the most celebrated guitarists of his generation. His best-selling recordings, regular appearances with leading orchestras and international concert career have made him a true star of the classical guitar — and this is a rare opportunity to experience his remarkable musicianship live.
Drawing on music from his latest album, Craig presents a wonderfully varied programme celebrating the guitar’s extraordinary versatility. From the sun-drenched melodies of Spanish composers to the rhythms and passion of South America, the programme also explores folk traditions, baroque music and the sophisticated world of jazz.
Discover the vibrant colours of Albéniz’s Asturias, one of the most iconic works in the guitar repertoire, alongside the elegance of Torroba’s Sonatina and the irresistible tango rhythms of Piazzolla’s Invierno Porteño. There is also music by Django Reinhardt, the legendary jazz guitarist whose Nuages is given a dazzling new life on the classical guitar.
From intimate laments and haunting melodies to virtuosic showpieces and infectious rhythms, this is a programme designed to showcase the astonishing range of colours and sounds that can be drawn from a single guitar.
