Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Craig Ogden

Something old, something new, lots of things borrowed – Craig Ogden’s Sheffield recital has something for everyone. 

Craig Ogden in Castelnuovo-Tedesco's Guitar Concerto no. 1 is the highlight of the Northern Chamber Orchestra's varied concert of (mostly) Italian music in Macclesfield.

The Royal Northern Sinfonia directed by Bradley Creswick and featuring the guitar soloist Craig Ogden offer an enterprising mixture of works and styles.

A joyful concert by the Manchester Camerata conducted by Gábor Takács-Nagy with Craig Ogden in music by Rossini, Chabrier, Rodrigo and Beethoven, with a few surprises along the way.

A revelatory concert at Wigmore Hall of late works by Michael Tippett, featuring exemplary performances by Steven Osborne, Mark Padmore, Craig Ogden and the Heath Quartet.

Craig Ogden’s easy manner immediately puts an audience at ease. With his comfortable assuredness and witty repartee, Ogden is able to facilitate an unusual sense of intimacy in such a large auditorium as St. David’s Hall, Cardiff. Indeed, seeing Ogden in concert is like being transported to an old friend’s living room, where you sit and chat, watching them play guitar – extremely well.

It seems unfair to label a young conductor a 'discovery', especially since most young conductors labour tirelessly for many years prior to achieving wider recognition. But that's what Daniel Cohen was for me: a discovery, and a very pleasing one at that.

Las cuerdas fueron el gran protagonista del concierto que la Orquesta Sinfónica de Navarra ofreció el pasado viernes el en Baluarte. Bajo la batuta del británico Rumon Gamba y acompañadas por el guitarrista australiano Craig Ogden, la OSN fue al centro de una ejecución acariciante al estilo New Age.
