About Craig Ogden
Guitarist Craig Ogden, based for some years at Britain's Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, has drawn comparisons to the legendary Julian Bream with the flair and what an American Record Guide critic called the daredevil quality of his playing. The catholic nature of Ogden's repertory is also noteworthy; he presents guitar chestnuts and contemporary premieres with equal enthusiasm, and he has worked as an accompanist to quite diverse vocalists. Making his Royal Albert Hall debut with Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez and recording all three concertos with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, Ogden gained not only strong notices but also praise from Rodrigo's daughter Cecilia. Ogden collaborated with countertenor David Daniels to release the album A Quiet Thing. Another collaborator has been soprano Claire Bradshaw, to whom he is married. In 2023, Ogden appeared as accompanist to singer Elgan Llyr Thomas on the album Unveiled.
