Máximo Diego Pujol (Buenos Aires, 1957) graduated
from the Juan José Castro Conservatory with the Superior Guitar
Professor title. His extensive education included instrumental and
interpretation studies with Maestros Alfredo Vicente Gascón, Horacio Ceballos,
Antonio de Raco, Miguel Ángel Girollet, Abel Carlevaro, and Leo Brouwer, as
well as harmony and composition studies with Maestro Leónidas Arnedo. He has
been awarded numerous first prizes and distinctions, both as a performer and
as a composer. He is often invited to participate in America, Europe
and Oceania in series and festivals dedicated to his instrument, to give
concerts, master classes and conduct workshops. Since 1995, he has been
Professor in Guitar at the Buenos Aires Superior Conservatory of Music Manuel
de Falla.
Pujol’s works are inspired by the musical heritage of his native
Argentina, especially from the music forms of the Río de la Plata, as well as
from the different music forms of the rest of the country. The final purpose
is the fusion of this cultural base and European academic formal thinking.
His extensive production has remarkably enriched the repertoire of the guitar
and has gained the respect and the acknowledgment of the music world. His
works are published by important publishers in Europe, Canada and United
States and are performed and recorded by guitarists and chamber and orchestral
groups all around the world.
