Ronny Wiesauer

Ronny Wiesauer is a classical guitarist but also devoted to Jazz and improvised music. He was born in Austria. After playing guitar since his early childhood, he studied classical guitar at the music university Mozarteum in the class of Marco Tamayo.

Introduced to the theory of „baroque hexachord composing technique“ and its affects to the music history, he immediatly was fascinated how close that hexachord technique was conneted to contemporary and improvised music, and he started to discover these "bridges" between the music theory of baroque music and Jazz.

He recorderd several CDs mostly with his own compositions which recieved a warm and positive feedback by press worldwide.

Ronny Wiesauer: September

Read "September" reviewed by Geno Thackara


There's a certain mix of emotions that always comes with the end of summer, and if it may not be possible to sublimate it all straight into sound, Ronny Wiesauer does an admirable job at capturing some of the shades. His September is a quietly vibrant sound painting that presents a series of scenes wistful and charming.

Ronny Wiesauer: All Yours

Read "All Yours" reviewed by Geno Thackara

Even if the solitude isn't all voluntary this time, this followup shows him appreciating ...

Ronny Wiesauer: Monologues

Read "Monologues" reviewed by Geno Thackara


If you are willing to learn, learn from the best. Guitarist Ronny Wiesauer has clearly taken the right lessons from the likes of Egberto Gismonti and Ralph Towner--he is a happily understated player, at home in the worlds of studious classical and informal jazz alike. He has played in different contexts and featured his own pieces among programs of others' songs, but hadn't made an entirely solo and self-penned recording until this one. It feels like the idea has arrived ...

Ronny Wiesauer: Chants To The Sea - The Corium project

Read "Chants To The Sea - The Corium project" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic


Austrian classical guitarist/composer Ronny Wiesauer may have named his fourth recording Chants To The Sea, but it seems like this is more songs for the road. The twilight rides, the rides going nowhere but deeper into self, the ride home. Using his studied understanding of the hexachordal system, (no need to go deep into the weeds since it's the music we're discussing, not theory. Let's just say it was devised in medieval times to rethink the tones and ...
