Matthew’s latest solo album Bach & Brouwer has been recently released on Natural Studio Records.

“This recording is a pairing of two works by composers whose styles would appear at first glance to be in sharp contrast. Despite two centuries separating their composition, Johann Sebastian Bach’s Suite No.1 ( BWV 1007) and Leo Brouwer’s Suite No.2 share distinct similarities.” Matthew McAllister

Watch a short film documenting the making of Bach & Brouwer. The film contains behind the scenes recording footage on location in the Cathedral of the Isles and an interview about the recording process and the conceptbehind the album.

Natural Studio Records Bach & Brouwer

“I hope you are inspired to add this recording to your collection. I wanted to offer a different style of recording to audiences and a recording which contrasts the majority of releases. Bach & Brouwer is an album which forms a larger musical and expressive gesture which I hope encourages the listener to delve deeper into the music.” Matthew McAllister

Passau Festival

Here is a short film from the Passauer Saiten International Guitar Festival in Germany.

The film contains lots of footage from the concert, master-class and my travelling, all the audio is from the concert.

Multi String Practice

Some footage of Matthew working on The Locatelli Variations by the GermanLutenist and Composer Bernhard Joachim Hagen.

This is a little insight into some work I am doing on Ten String Guitar and the instrument featured in this footage was made by Scottish Luthier Colin Morison.

This is very much a work in progress and as I progress I will feature other recordings of my work in this area.
