Captain Corelli's Mandolin & the Latin Trilogy: the novels of Louis de BerniAres

Australian-born guitarist Craig Ogden is one of the most exciting artists of his generation. He records exclusively for Chandos records and has performed as soloist with the London Philharmonic, Hallé, BBC Philharmonic, City of Birmingham Symphony, Tasmania Symphony and Melbourne Symphony Orchestras. His debut solo recording of contemporary British works received wide acclaim and a Grammy nomination. BBC Music magazine dubbed Ogden 'a worthy successor to Julian Bream'.

In March 1998 his recording of all three solo Rodrigo guitar concertos with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra was greeted with wide acclaim. In 1998 Ogden performed concertos with the London Philharmonic, Britten Sinfonia and English Symphony Orchestras and pursued a busy schedule of recitals and radio broadcasts throughout the UK and abroad. In 1999 he will tour South Africa and Australia, continue to record for Chandos Records, perform as soloist with orchestras throughout the world and continue to give numerous recitals throughout the UK and abroad.

Craig Ogden is married to British opera singer Claire Bradshaw (with whom he often appears in concert) and lectures at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester.
