About John Williams (guitarist)
John Christopher Williams is an Australian and English guitarist known for his solo and ensemble playing as well as his interpretation and promotion of the modern classical guitar repertoire. In 1973, he shared a Grammy Award in the Best Chamber Music Performance category with fellow guitarist Julian Bream for Together. Guitar historian Graham Wade has said that "John is perhaps the most technically accomplished guitarist the world has seen." Since his first professional performance at the Wigmore Hall in London on 6 November 1958, Williams has performed throughout the world and has made regular appearances on radio and TV. Williams is perhaps best known to the general public for his recording of the Stanley Myers piece "Cavatina".
