 Touché I is the name of Magnus Gutke's debut record, which was released in 1997.
The selections are weighted toward Spanish composers like Tárrega's Adelita and Mazurka, followed by Maria. The intensity rises with Johann Sebastian Bach and the Prelude in D-Minor. Two preludes by Villa-Lobos are followed by Moreno-Torroba's Fandanguillo. Yet another pearl is the beautiful Campanas del alba. We may also listen on this CD to compositions by Sor, Segovia, Mompou and de Falla.

 Touché II - this recording represents the culmination of more than ten year's work with pieces that date from Magnus Gutke's studies in Paris with the maestro Alberto Ponce and contain, besides Sainz de la Maza´s Platero y yo, Antonio José's Sonata.
His work offers subtle melody and tonality in pieces such as Pavana triste and invites us to an explosive Finale with rapid scales and rasgueados. Together with the Frenchman Maurice Ohana we are transported yet further away from the tonal and listen to two movements from Si le jour paraît. We are offered Aube; a work with caustic tones and quarter tones and the virtuoso movement Jeu des quatre vents. A work with impressionistic stamp, Solilioque, by the Frenchman Henri Sauguet, forms an elegant conclusion for this album.

 On the cd Silver och jag (Silver and I/Platero y yo) the actor Jan-Olof Strandberg together with the guitarist Magnus Gutke gives their interpretation of the suite Platero y yo by Eduardo Sainz de la Maza.
The text reading is in Swedish. Sainz de la Maza, who is considered to be one of the most prominent contemporary composers for the classical guitar, composes in a jazz influenced style inspired by composers like Debussy and Ravel. This suite is inspired by the Nobel laureate Juan Ramón Jiménez and his prose Platero y yo from 1914.
