With a series of albums that have topped the UK Classical charts, Australian guitarist Craig Ogden is an eloquent ambassador for his instrument, and he won many friends when stepping in at short notice for Miloš Karadaglić two seasons ago. Now back with the Manchester Camerata he brings a collection of old and new works, showcasing the guitar’s versatility and his effortless virtuosity.
Albeniz’s exotic Asturias and Giuliani’s elegant Guitar Concerto rub shoulders with Göran Sollscher’s dextrous arrangement of Here Comes the Sun, and Einaudi’s hauntingly beautiful Due Tramonti. Tears will be no doubt be jerked in Samuel Barber’s heartfelt Adagio and the house will probably be brought down when Luigi Boccherini’s Fandango struts its exuberant stuff. There’s much more besides to enjoy, so whether you’re a fan of the classical guitar or a newcomer to its delights, this is one for your must-see list.

His duo partner Craig Ogden records and performs worldwide. Head of Guitar at the Royal Northern College of Music, he has been described by BBC Music Magazine as: “A worthy successor to Julian Bream”. NB that tonight’s programme has changed a little since it was first published – it’s now even better.

Stoller Hall, Manchester
Manchester: UK
With: Craig Ogden and Aquarelle Guitar Quartet
Craig will be stepping in to help out the Aquarelle Guitar Quartet at their concert in Manchester’s The Stoller Hall this evening.
One of the Aquarelle Guitar Quartet members (Vasilis) has just had a baby in Greece with his Greek partner (congratulations!) and Vasilis is therefore unable to do the concert this evening, so the Quartet have asked Craig to fill in at very short notice. Craig has spent a day busily trying to learn all of Vasilis’s parts – 90 minutes of music!
This evening’s concert is connected to the 50th anniversary celebrations at Chetham’s School of Music. All of the AGQ members were students of Craig’s at the RNCM – Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester and he also helped to introduce them to Chandos Records for whom they have released 4 or 5 CDs. Craig is extremely excited about having the chance to play in the quartet. They are four of the best guitarists he’s taught and their ensemble is incredibly tight.

‘Il Filo’ by David Gordon (world premiere)
Craig Ogden (classical guitar)
Miloš Milivojević (accordion)
Written for, and in collaboration with, Craig and Miloš, this is David Gordon’s third concerto. Il Filo – the thread – relates to an 18th-century approach to composition described by Leopold Mozart and others, in which ideas are subtly developed and knitted together, perhaps also with the implied idea of conversational engagement that feels appropriate to a double concerto. The eponymous first movement is in a flowing 7/8 rhythm while ‘Snapshots’ is a high-energy romp that gives the soloists a jazz workout.
