The launch of a record label for guitar music Numerous expert discussions and empiric test runs preceded this production in order to gather the desires and the perception of a new audience for acoustic guitar music and classical guitar music respectively. First affirmative responses to the release impressingly confirm the rightness of the path taken. It´s due to Augustin Wiedemann´s fondness of experimenting and his artistic frankness that this exceptional live production could be realized.
Augustin Wiedemann Munich guitarist Augustin Wiedemann, born in 1965, keeps track of various kinds of music. His choice of compositions is not restricted to classical music but follows his own preferences from all kinds of music. As the guitar is a very popular instrument, it is particularly suited for combining different styles. Augustin Wiedemann is an interpreter whose style can be summarized in his own statement: “I can only play compositions which I dream of and which continue surprising me even after many years”. Playing a concerto, the fascination of a fugue of Johann Sebastian Bach as well as the allure of a composition like “Round Midnight” of Thelonius Monk, adapted for guitar by Roland Dyens, make the artist feel like being at the right place at the right time. The “Schwäbische Post” (Swabian Newspaper) enthusiastically wrote: “The different compositions are poles apart. The audience are astounded and at a loss for words when Wiedemann handles each of them in a stylistically most skilful way. An intellectual, a guitarist who is a top-class musician and who commits himself to intrumental perfection – anymore ? Hardly possible!”. Augustin Wiedemann is a member of the Accademia

Press "Sophisticated and extremely
virtuosic, with much sensitiveness and outmost accuracy does Wiedemann
play his acoustic Hauser concerto guitar,
manufactured in 1933" "The charming, not always expected
changing between playfulness and powerful dedication is very convincing"
Response "I´ve never listened to Augustin
Wiedemann play like that"! "Recordings of this quality have
been completely unknown to me." "I received today your CD and I already listen
three times all the CD! What I have to say more,normally the CD
with "guitar" I can't listen to the end, but your Cd is
music-so beatiful and true music!." "unbelievable!"
