Product Description
CD Description
Australian-born guitarist Craig Ogden is one of the world’s finest classical guitarists. He’s become known as the Classical Jack Johnson through his laid back, effortless, naturally brilliant approach to playing guitar. His new album The Guitarist, has been dubbed 'summer in a CD' by Classic FM.
The album comprises brand new arrangements of the most voted for Classic FM tracks, as featured in their ‘Hall of Fame’. Beautiful interpretations of much-loved piano pieces, bringing his own unique sound to some of the most popular and loved tunes, include "Ashokan Farewell", "Clair de Lune", the "Moonlight Sonata", "Canon in D" to name but a few, as well as a number of brand new compositions.
Craig Ogden studied guitar from the age of seven and percussion from the age of thirteen and in 2004 he was honoured by the Royal Northern College of Music with a Fellowship in recognition of his achievements. He is the youngest instrumentalist to have received this award from the RNCM.
He regularly appears as soloist and chamber musician at the major London venues including the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Wigmore Hall and the Barbican and collaborates regularly with many of the UK's top artists and ensembles.
Craig Ogden is Principal Lecturer in Guitar at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester.

Format:Audio CD
This has to be the most relaxing collection of music that I have heard in a long time. If you need to unwind after a stressful day then this is the music for you.Craig Ogden has managed to craft some simple pieces of music and make them magical. Everyone has become a firm favourite but the best has to be track 12 simple Serenade.

I love this album. It has a lovely mix of recognisable pieces and I listened to it a few times over when I first got it - it's mellow and relaxing and perfect for the summer. I am going to get several copies to give as gifts as I have a few family birthdays over the summer.
Don't miss out!!

A stunning album and wonderful arrangements, what a joy. As someone who plays the piano, (badly I admit, I blame the varifocals) to hear arrangements of some of my favorite classical piano pieces arranged for the guitar is like hearing the music played for the very first time. A brilliant album (I cannot wait for the next one) by a great guitarist.

New goods ??
I paid for a new CD but received one without any packaging or wrapping. Was I given a used one ? Surely all new ones come securely wrapped ?

Craig Ogden is undoubtedly a great guitarist. However, I was a bit disappointed with the choice of music on this CD. I would have liked more classical songs and tunes.
