RICARDO GALLÉN
Ricardo Gallén is an extraordinary guitarist with a fruitful career. His inspired and innovative interpretations, together with a revolutionary vision of guitar technique and the teaching of the instrument, have brought him a great international prestige.
He has performed his virtuosity all over the world in recitals as a soloist, in duo or with orchestras, in venues as important as the Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Auditorio Nacional in Madrid, the Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow, the Palau de la Música Catalana, the Auer Hall at Indiana University or the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, among others. He has premiered works by renowned composers and has participated in projects under the baton of great conductors such as Sergiu Comisiona, Maximiano Valdés, En Shao, Monica Huggett, Leo Brouwer, Juan José Mena or Jordi Savall.
Winner of the most important awards (Francisco Tárrega, Andrés Segovia or Markneukirchen, among others), he has taught at conservatories and universities such as the Mozarteum in Salzburg, the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki or The Cleveland Institute of Music. He is currently a professor at the Hochschule für Musik “Franz Liszt” in Weimar, Germany.

His recordings have received excellent reviews. His publications of Bach's complete works for lute, as well as Fernando Sor's sonatas for guitar, or his CD En Silencio have been considered masterpieces by a large part of the specialized press.
