With our guitarduo lieske spindler guitars we are preparing our next album with my arrangement Debussys Suite bergamasque and Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin and some pieces by Eric Satie (2013).
We premiered the Debussy arrangement with great success in Achern, near Baden Baden (D) in May 15 (SWR live broadcast).
Equally our new CD "Bottom's Dream", recorded in September 2010 in Leipzig is highly praised by all critics and appeares under the Challenge Classics label.

My next solo album is purely classical and was geniously recorded at the WDR radio in Cologne - I am performing the music of Fernando Sor and Mauro Giuliani on period guitars by Petitjean (Mirecourt ca. 1810)

My harpsichord solo "Anima" was premiered by Ella Sevskaya in November. The work was commissioned by the Greifenberger Institut für Musikinstrumentenkunde.
The premiere was performed there on a Christian Vater copy by Helmut Balk.

On the instrumental side there is an encounter with the Bavarian guitar maker Frank Krocker, who developed the genius FRAME WORKS GUITAR, an electrical nylon string guitar which I will use for contemporary music in larger ensembles and full orchestra.

We included these guitars together our instruments by Antonio Torres, Manuel Ramírez, Santos Hernandez and Fritz Ober for a bunch of new exciting professional videoclips.

Here is the true sensation:
the new guitar by my friend Fritz Ober - this is No. 5 - all his instruments were excellent, this one is genious.
He prooves to be the "Torres of our Time". Perfection and spirit of the past time genius, power and playability of today. It is influenced by my wonderful 1925 Santos Hernandez and has the same mellow Torres like sound, the extremely comfortable playability and is even more powerful, so you would guess it is kind a double-top guitars if its caracter would not of such touching majesty.
