Biography (read more)

Miguel Ángel Ramírez Rincón was born on 30 December 1979 in Seville, Spain. He studied plucked instruments at the Manuel Castillo School of Music in Seville with Juan Carlos Rivera, graduating with top honors, then earned a master’s degree under Xavier Díaz-Latorre at ESMUC (the Conservatory of Catalonia) in Barcelona, followed by a further concert-performance master’s degree at the Zurich University of the Arts studying with Eduardo Egüez. He has attended masterclasses with Rolf Lislevand, Robert Barto, Paul O’Dette, and Hopkinson Smith, and received chamber-music coaching from Vittorio Ghielmi and Paolo Pandolfo, among others. Now based in Basel, Switzerland, he performs across the full range of early plucked instruments — Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque lute, Baroque guitar, vihuela, chitarrone, and archlute — with leading period-instrument ensembles and singers including Cecilia Bartoli, Philippe Jaroussky, Joyce DiDonato, and Nathalie Stutzmann’s Orfeo 55, and has released solo albums on Carpe Diem and Lindoro Records devoted to Bach, Renaissance lute repertoire, and Spanish Baroque guitar. No Wikipedia article exists for him; his Bach Cantatas Website biography is linked as the primary source.

Rincón has become one of the most versatile continuo and solo specialists of his generation on early plucked strings, appearing on acclaimed Warner Erato and Decca recordings with major historically informed ensembles and singers across Europe. His solo recordings dedicated to Bach’s lute works and to neglected Renaissance and Spanish Baroque guitar repertoire have helped keep this material in circulation for modern audiences.
