Australian-born guitarist Craig Ogden has been dubbed a worthy successor to Julian Bream by BBC Music Magazine, a claim probably shared by everyone in the audience at this lunchtime recital.

He showed his mastery of his chosen instrument through a programme which encompassed music from the melancholy of John Dowland through the sounds of Django Reinhardt and Carlos Joabim to the latest work by Brighton-born composer Paul Carr.

Ogden has a pleasing personality and was only too eager to share with the audience his thoughts on the music he played, as well as passing on several trade secrets of the guitar-playing business.

His playing is warm, controlled and open. This was a musician who uses bags of colour and technique and it comes as no surprise that he is in demand from the world's leading orchestras and has a Grammy nomination under his belt.

Using unobtrusive amplification, he performed a duet with himself thanks to a 600-millisecond digital delay system, a piece which followed a magical reading of Ferdinand Sor's introduction and variation of a theme from Mozart's The Magic Flute.

This young man certainly entertained a packed theatre and left the audience clamouring for more.
