I pre-ordered my copy of Craig Ogden's Summertime last week and received it this morning. I put it in the CD player as soon as it came through the letter box. I have to admit, it is still on replay. The tracks are beautiful and very relaxing, perfect for a summers d ay in the garden. Craig versions of such great classical pieces are amazing, a true talent. A great buy!

Nicely played from Craig - gorgeous tone as always and very musical. Nice additions from the Tippett Quartet make for some lovely arrangements of well known tunes. A very good easy-listening CD.

Listening to Craig's "Summertime" disc is a great way to lift your mood with excellent performances of simply beautiful music. I used to shun compilations and "easy listening" discs as so many of them are poor compilations of lacklustre performances but "Summertime" and Craig's previous album "The Guitarist" are firmly at the top of my playlist when I need a fix of simply great stuff to listen to and relax with. This disc works especially well to ease the pains of a daily commute. My favourite track is the superb cover of the Inspector Morse theme by Barrington Pheloung. Over "Summertime" is well packaged with attractive sleeve notes and it's well worth owning the full disc - great value for money. If you enjoy this, also check out Craig's recently re-released album of Songs for Countertenor and Guitar A Quiet Thing: Songs for Voice and Guitar.

I'm absolutely delighted with 'Summertime'! I think Craig is a hugely talented guitarist; having bought his last album 'The Guitarist' I was very much looking forward to hearing his next offering. This doesn't disappoint: beautiful guitar versions of well-known classical pieces sit alongside favourites from the world of film (I love Craig's version of Gabriel's Oboe from 'The Mission'!). Summer has begun and this album is proving the perfect accompaniment to my chilled glass of rose in the evening! Enjoy!

As an avid fan of Craig I couldn't wait to hear Summertime - and I wasn't disappointed. His tone, interpretation and musicality are effortless as always. The playlist is relaxing and enjoyable, and, as the title suggests, perfect for Summertime. Highly recommended.

This is simply a stunning album. Well chosen repertoire and fantastic arrangements - a definite must-have CD for anyone who loves the guitar, in fact, it's a must-have CD for anyone who likes music full stop!
BRAVO!

After last year's exceptional album, "The Guitarist", from Craig Ogden I could hardly wait for my pre-ordered copy of "Summertime" to arrive. The fresh combination of some of my favourite pieces for guitar along with a selection of excellently chosen classical pieces arranged for the guitar creates a perfect playlist to accompany relaxation in the sun. I am forever amazed at the beautiful sound that Craig makes on the guitar and so will undoubtedly be buying multiple copies of this CD to give as gifts to my friends after they so loved receiving Craig's album last year! This is a definite must-buy album and I cannot imagine there being a more fitting soundtrack to anyone's Summertime.

a good cd to have playing as background music
an enjoyable repertoire of familiar tunes. Good for playing in the background when you've got the in-laws over or are trying to lull the baby to sleep.

Earlier this year I only had a five minute walk to where Craig Ogden was giving a concert. He was accompanied by flautist, Judith Hall, and they were superb. Read more

Craig Ogden - Summertime
This CD flows so well - much better than his first CD 'The Guitarist'. You can sit back, relax and enjoy the tranquil music.

CRAIG OGDEN'S BEST CD YET
This is an excellent recording of Craig Ogden. As I never bought his first CD from you, I was unable to provide a review of his preceding disc. Read more
