Info zu Ruiz-Pipó: Works with Guitar, Vol. 1

Antonio Ruiz-Pipo was one of the bravest and most progressive of the Spanish composers to escape the Franco dictatorship. His Andalusian background, Catalan training, residence in Paris and an enduring admiration of his ‘saint’ Manuel de Falla have all shaped his oeuvre. These solo and chamber works offer an overview of his career, from the poignant Estancias to the Mediterranean-influenced Trio en miniaturas which also represents Ruiz-Pipo’s fascination with the music of antiquity. Infused with elements of French lyricism and sultry Spanish moods, Ruiz-Pipo’s complex but humane musical idiom is richly deserving of discovery. Internationally acclaimed guitarist Wolfgang Weigel was born in 1954 in Saarbrucken. He studied at the music academies of Saarbrucken and Lubeck between 1970 and 1975, and later he became close friends with guitarist Karl Scheit in Vienna who became his artistic mentor. Weigel began to develop his international career as a performer and teacher in the 1980s and began to concentrate on contemporary music, focusing mainly on the repertoire of post-Franco Spain and South America.

Wolfgang Weigel, guitar




Wolfgang Weigel
Since more than 4 decades Wolfgang Weigel is in charge of the classical guitar. His diverse activities made him a representative of his discipline with high international acclaim.

WW´s dedication to his instrument grew in early childhood. The event of a recital by Andrés Segovia in 1968 finally became defining for his decision to become a professional guitarist. After accomplishing his studies at the music academies in Saarbrücken and Lübeck in 1974 he dedicated himself to teaching and to the perfection of his own artistic shape.

In 1983 Weigel became lecturer at the music academy in Münster where during the following twenty years he taught students from all over the world. Many of those today work themselves in music academies or act as concert guitarists. Weigel´s masterclasses lead him to the most important academies in Europe and America.

Today Weigel teaches at his Guitar academy in Münster /Westphalia(Germany). WW has been invited to the juries of important competitions like the „Certamen Francisco Tárrega“ Benicásim, „Francisco Guerrero“ Madrid, „Alhambra“, Valencia (Spanien), „Dr. Luis Zigall“, Viña del Mar (Chile), „Guitar Foundation of America“ (USA).

As a performer Weigel has a universal repertoire including all epochs and styles which are connected with the classical guitar. Particularly his interpretations of contemporary music are highly estimated. Some of them are documented by his recordings. (* discography) Within his programs he presented numerous premieres.

His friendship with composers like Antonio Ruiz Pipó, John W. Duarte, Vaclav Kucera, Sidney Corbett, Máximo D. Pujol, emblematic figures of the contemporary guitar, his information about their artistic intention made him an authentic witness, who has first-hand knowledge about personal and artistic details at his disposal. Evident signs of his connections are numerous compositions, dedicated to him, amongst them concertos for guitar and orchestra and chambermusic. (# dedications).

Besides his role in the contemporary music field his also considered an expert of the music of Johann S. Bach.

His expertise is based not least upon his studies with the legendary guitar prophet Karl Scheit, who was an eminent mentor for him. Also with Bach specialists like the great composers Frank-Michael Beyer und Ruth Zechlin.

His insights WW disposes again and again within his concert programs and masterclasses.

In 2009 he founded the GITARRENLAND festival at the border region between Germany and France. Every year he calls the crême of the international guitar- and music scenery to perform at picturesque locations. Constantly increasing number of visitors and their enthusiasm witness the common interest in unusual programs and the infinite diversity of the guitar cultures.

Weigel´s engagement as a performer, teacher and promoter of the guitar art made him a unique ambassador of his instrument and represent his passion for the arts.
