Duncan Gardiner

My debut album Of Dreams and Fantasy got off to a great start when it received some great press being named ‘CD of the Week’ in the Western Australian newspaper, Nov. 5, 2009.

Following is the complete article in full: “Duncan Gardiner is a young Perth classical guitarist/composer who describes his album Of Dreams and Fantasy as containing “a selection of evocative pieces that conjure up dreams, fantasies, dreams and images”. This is a little gem of a disc, featuring original compositions for guitar, sometime together with violin or flute, as well as works by Paul Svoboda, Johann Kaspar Mertz, Phillip Houghton and Schubert. The mood throughout is appropriately relaxed and dreamlike – though never the technique or the musicianship, which is considerable. For musicians, a handsomely produced book is also available containing the disc’s content in full score. www.duncangardiner.com.”
