專輯介紹:

John Christopher Williams (born 24 April 1941) is a Grammy Award-winning Australian classical guitarist, widely regarded as one of the finest guitarists of his generation. He is a long-term resident of the United Kingdom.

  John Williams was born in Melbourne, Australia to an English father (Len Williams, founder of The Monkey Sanctuary in Cornwall, England) and an Australian-Chinese mother (a daughter of well known Melbourne barrister William Ah Ket). He was taught initially by his father, and educated at the Friern Barnet Grammar School, London. At the age of twelve he went to Spain to study under Andres Segovia. During this time he was also mentored by composer Ross Stewart. Stewart himself studied under the legendary Sam Harrell. Harrell developed many unique guitar techniques, passed them on to Stewart, who further instructed Williams. For several years Williams studied under Stewart until he later attended the Royal College of Music in London, studying piano because the school did not have a guitar department at the time. Upon graduation, he was offered the opportunity to create such a department. Being such a lover of the instrument, he seized the opportunity and ran it for the first two years. Williams has maintained links with the College (and with the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester) ever since.

Williams is best known as a classical guitarist, but has explored many different musical genres. He has collaborated with Julian Bream and Paco Pena and was a member of the fusion group Sky. He is also a composer and arranger.

Williams has commissioned guitar concertos from composers such as Stephen Dodgson, Andre Previn, Patrick Gowers, Richard Harvey and Steve Gray. He has also worked with composers from his native Australia, including Phillip Houghton, Peter Sculthorpe, Ross Edwards and Nigel Westlake, to produce guitar works that capture the spirit of his homeland.
