My review page for all sorts of classical guitar, lute and mandolin sheet music, CDs, and DVDs, has now reached an astonishing 12000 hits, from over 5800 individual people. And now after some considerable work, you can use the search engine to check the name of the composer, the title, whether it’s a CD, or the name of the publisher, all of which are now in the title line, to enable anyone to do that. I am getting more and more items to review weekly, and so it really is becoming the place to go if you want to see what’s out and about in our classical guitar world! Should anyone want any of their publications/CDs etc reviewing to go on the site, then please contact me, and I will be only too happy to do so!

Reviews of Classical Guitar Music - by Chris Dumigan

I have been very busy this year doing a lot of transcriptions from recordings for customers, and have continued taking Stan Ayeroff's YouTube recordings down onto manuscript (although I still have a lot of those to do yet!) and doing a few arrangements for customers. Apart from that, I have finally finished arranging the entire 6 English Suites and the 6 French Suites of Bach for 2 guitars, all of which will be published in the coming months, in separate books, by Les Productions D'Oz. They have also just published one of my last two unpublished Suites of Grieg, the Four Album Leaves Op. 28, arranged for 2 guitars, with the final volume the Poetic Tone Pictures Op. 3 to follow shortly.
Bergmann Publishing Company is soon due to publish an early solo work, Francesca, which means that apart from works written that eventually became part of another work, and then published in that form (you can find them on my chrisdumigan.co.uk in the Compositions page) that ALL of my original guitar works will then be published!
I continue to do nearly all of my teaching on Skype, which started that way during the original Covid outbreak, simply because it is so much more convenient for pupils, who don't have to use any fuel getting to me, and also as lesson times can be much more conveniently changed when necessary.
Also my allclassicalguitar.co.uk has now has over 15,000 hits and there are hundreds of reviews there to read and more going in every week. All you have to do is put your composer's name, or the publisher's name, or the performer's name in the search and up they come .

Back in March 2023, I started a huge arranging job , of considering doing all 6 English Suites and all 6 French Suites of J.S. Bach for 2 guitars. Today 15 months later I have done all 12! And as far as i am concerned they fit SO well onto two guitars that , other than octave moves every so often , almost no other work has had to be done to make them playable on guitars! YEYYYYYYYYYYY!!

Just received notice from my publisher Bergmann that my Little Suite for guitar solo is being published today! This just leaves one more piece of mine for guitar solo which they will publish later on this year, and EVERY piece I have ever written for classical guitar, whether solo or in combination with others will have been published ! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My website of Chrisdumigan.co.uk is newly updated by my brilliant friend Dan Coghill, and now includes absolutely everything that has musically happened to me up to today, including lots of new arrangements and transcriptions and publications. Why don't you take a look and see ?

Juan Erena Bergmann Edition : 22 pages I have seen and heard many of this composer’s pieces since starting this review site, and I can only say that this latest three – movement Sonata left me stunned. It is some of the most individual music I have ever played, very different from anything I hav...
