Instruments

The mandolin, originally from Italy, has 'cousins' in many countries, including the bandurria in Spain, the bouzouki in Greece, and the balalaika in Russia.

Recording & Production

This album was recorded using 24-bit technology, which offers a dynamic range up to 48 dB greater and 256 times the resolution of standard 16-bit recordings.

Album & Artwork

This album celebrates a ten-year musical partnership between the mandolinist and guitarist, and the ability of their instruments to bridge musical styles and cultures.

Interpretation

Many pieces on this album were not originally scored for mandolin and guitar; the performers adapted them to suit their instruments, playing style, and programs.

Performer Biography

Craig Ogden, an Australian-born guitarist, became the youngest instrumentalist to receive a Fellowship from the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester in 2004.

Album & Artwork

The inspiration for this album came from the performers' first disc, "Music from the Novels of Louis de Bernières," which featured musical references from his 'Latin American Trilogy' and "Captain Corelli's Mandolin."
