Göran Söllscher, a name synonymous with classical guitar excellence, has carved a unique niche within the world of classical music, distinguishing himself not only through his exceptional musicality but also through his innovative use of the eleven-string alto guitar. Born on December 31, 1955, in Växjö, Sweden, Söllscher's journey into the realms of music commenced at an early age, setting the stage for a distinguished career that would see him traverse a broad spectrum of classical repertoire, from the Renaissance to contemporary compositions.

His discography, rich and diverse, includes critically acclaimed albums such as "Rodrigo: Concierto De Aranjuez," a testament to his mastery of complex compositions, and "The Renaissance Album," showcasing his versatility and deep appreciation for early music. Söllscher's interpretative skills come to the fore in collections like "Eleven String Baroque" and "Cavatina," illuminating his unique ability to bridge the gap between historical authenticity and modern sensibilities. A dedicated interpreter of both classical giants and novel compositions, his work on albums like "Takemitsu: I Hear The Water Dreaming; Toward The Sea I/II/III" and "Piazzolla: L'Histoire du Tango" reflects his commitment to expanding the guitar repertoire. His contributions to the classical guitar have not only enriched its literature but have also inspired a generation of musicians to explore the instrument's potential beyond traditional boundaries.
