Born in Zurich, Michael Winkler studied classical guitar at the Music Academy and the College of Music in Zurich, as well as at Berne Conservatory. He graduated with the Teaching and Soloists Diploma. He pursued further training in a variety of international master classes, under the likes of Pepe Romero. During his studies he did other work like composing and arranging film music for synchronized AV slide shows and documentary films. Michael Winkler’s true love is playing solo guitar. He brought out his first album in 1988 containing music by Dowland, Sor, Llobet, Rodrigo and Yocoh. Later on he also performed concerts under the title “A musical tour of the world”, which reflected his fascination for travel, for foreign cultures and their music. He has also made a name for himself as an interpreter of Bach. He has devoted years to working on Bach’s music. The present release was first launched in 1996, but the thoughtful interpretations have only grown finer with age.
