Biography (read more)

Máximo Diego Pujol (born 7 December 1957) is an Argentine classical guitarist and composer born in Buenos Aires. He graduated from the Juan José Castro Provincial Conservatory and studied guitar with Gaspar Navarro, Alfredo Vincente, Gascón, Horacio Ceballos, Abel Carlevaro and Miguel Angel Girollet, and composition with Leónidas Arnedo, with further guidance from Leo Brouwer and others. In 1989 he received the Argentine Composers’ Union prize as Best Composer of Classical Music.

Pujol’s music, published exclusively by Éditions Henry Lemoine, is strongly influenced by Ástor Piazzolla and built around the tango idiom, and his multi-movement guitar suites (including the Suite del Plata cycle) have become staples of the contemporary guitar repertoire.
