Richard Charlton is one of Australia’s leading guitarists/composers. (Though he was originally born in the UK, he has been an Aussie since about the age of seven.) In this podcast Simon discusses many of Richard’s works for guitar, guitar ensemble, and more—several of which are featured listening here—but also what it’s like to compose for the guitar, and they even have a bit of a discussion about the Sacred Kingfisher bird! Please enjoy this wonderful conversation with Richard.

  1. A Short Walk in the Rainforest (solo)
  2. Kingfisher (solo; from Kingfisher Dances)
  3. Déjà Vu (ensemble; from Three Distractions)

    Wonderful and interesting podcast! Might an ensemble – large or small – be treated to learning music by Richard Charlton at the CGC Summer School…?

      Hello Janet!

      How nice to hear from you so far away. I’m sure you and Raffaele have a great deal of experience teaching Richard Charlton’s music in an ensemble setting like the upcoming Summer School. It will be a wonderful experience working with you. I am looking forward to June!

      Best regards,
      Linda

    Thanks Simon. Another great podcast! I am a Richard Charlton fan and I reckon ‘A Sky For Dreaming’ has to be one of my favourite pieces. Also I am one of those AMEB students who played ‘Reverie’ in the 3rd grade exam. I still love to play it every so often.
    Cheers,
    James.
