Richard is featured in the April edition of Guitar Buyer Magazine (issue104). The four page article, by Matt Frost, talks about the current Guitar Whisperer UK Tour, Richard's instruments and his thoughts on that notorious, musical cul-de-sac "TAB".

A review has just appeared in the Newbury Weekly News following Richard's Candlelit Christmas Concert in Hungerford just before Christmas. Patrick Cogswell writes:

"The last few decades have seen the emergence of whole schools of very clever young guitarists. All comparisons are futile, just be sure to make a date with Richard Durrant wherever he is, and whatever the weather. You will not see his like anywhere else."    

Here is the latest review of Richard's "RECUERDOS - Guitar Classics" album.

“At first glance, Recuerdos could easily be picked up and labelled as just another collection of popular classics. On the contrary, Richard Durrant’s latest album deserves the utmost respect. Each song displays both a flawless and mesmerising acoustic translation, of which a significant portion of the credit must go to ‘The Richard Durrant Concert Guitar’. This is the instrument’s debut recording, and for many fans marks as an answer to their prayers.”

Richard’s new album “Recuerdos” has just been given a 5 Star review in ClassicFM Magazine (Christmas Edition 2009):

“I had to pause midway through writing this to retrieve my socks, which had been knocked off by Richard Durrant’s extraordinary virtuosity. The majority of the tracks are well known pieces…but Durrant brings such a strong personal interpretation to the music that it’s almost like hearing them with new ears. A simply unmissable treat”.

Somebody has just sent us this review of one of Richard's "Whisperer" concerts from last year:

"His laid back, friendly style immediately established a rapport with his sizeable audience. After introducing his exquisite new guitar, named after him by its maker Gary Hearn, he produced a banjo which he described as 'made in a tractor factory in Eastern Europe,' and proceeded to play Bach's Suite in G Major on it, "like Shakespeare meets Bagpuss" as he said.  In his hands it sounded just as legitimate and enticing as the Scarlatti or Tchaikovsky or any of the specialist Spanish guitar composers, whose work he also played."
