Biography of Classical Guitarist Anton Baranov:

In 2013, Russian classical guitarist, Anton Baranov, truly established himself as a leading guitarist by winning the Guitar Foundation of America Competition as well as over 20 other prestigious competitions between 2011 and 2013.

Mr. Baranov, known for his daring interpretations and innovative programs, has performed in distinguished halls such as Carnegie Hall in New York, Mariinsky Concert Hall in St. Petersburg, Hakuju Hall in Tokyo, and Palau de Musica in Valencia.  These incredible performances have been described as “pure magic” (Cleveland Classical) as he “manages to paint beautiful sound pictures of rich depth and color with his guitar” (The Guitar).

Roland Dyens, world renown composer and guitarist, calls Anton Baranov “…a real musician, one of those rare guitarists who are able to have their attendees almost forget the instrument they play, managing to have them focus on the expressivity of the music and only this.”

Anton Baranov has recorded albums for Naxos Classical and Contrastes Records.  In May of 2014, Naxos Classical released Mr. Baranov’s album “Latin American Guitar Sonatas” and his Contrastes Records album featuring Spanish guitar music has been on the market since August 2014.

Born in 1984, Anton Baranov began studying the classical guitar at age ten.  He then attended the Saint-Petersburg State Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory, the oldest and most famous Russian school of music, to complete his musical education.  Mr. Baranov received a teaching position at that same school upon graduation in 2010.
