Chandos Records CD ref. CHAN 10261

“Craig Ogden’s playing is beyond reproach, and the recording is excellent.”

International Record Review

“These father and son forays into guitar music find an ideal interpreter here”.

“ These technically assured and scrupulously musical performances confirm that Ogden has indeed made it.”

Gramophone

“Craig Ogden is an ideally sympathetic interpreter of both composers: his control of rhythm and the mechanics of guitar playing scarcely falters, and he makes a most beautiful sound”

BBC Music Magazine

“It’s a ‘must-have’ for lovers of British guitar music, an important release for followers of British music in general, and a highly recommended choice for all.”

Classical Guitar Magazine

“This is the latest instalment in the interesting Chandos series coupling music by the Berkeley father-and-son composers, and in every regard, it is fully up to the artistic and technical standards on earlier releases.”

“The programme opens with four posthumous pieces by Lennox; the first is rather ‘Spanishy’ in influence but the other three are splendidly written for the instrument in the composer’s most attractive, fastidious manner. They are superbly played – as indeed, is this recital throughout.”
