Very nicely done Mr. Mitchell. We've spoken but never met. I want to thank you for supporting Philip for so many years when he lived in Berkeley. Maybe many don't know this but you provided a place for him to live and compose for a long time. So thank you. Tim Hall
Once you hear a Hauser,( not a II or a III generation ) you ask yourself: What the hell have all these supposedly famous guitar makers been doing all these years ? That bass is incredible. The best I've ever heard. The highs as well. The clarity, the balance, everything is there. I guess Segovia was right. Here we are, 80+ years later and no one has come close. Lucky are those who own one. Heaven can wait.
I feel the summer breeze ,The silent calm eve of times long past and still ever alive ,Oh it,s late November ,it must have been this piece, Sometimes perfection comes our way and there's no room for improvement( Guitar or Artist)
Wonderful article describing more about this composition and the story behind it. "Remembering Philip Rosheger, “Serenade in D” and “The Father Song” In 1974, Ian Mitchell, an undergraduate guitarist studying under Tom Patterson at Cal State Chico, met and studied with Philip Rosheger, instructor at the San Francisco Conservatory of music and winner of the 1972 Segovia competition in Spain. By 1977 Mitchell had become Director of the Classical guitar program at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon, bringing Rosheger in as a regular visiting artist. During this time, Mitchell and Rosheger became close friends and Rosheger’s playing was at its most powerful and passionate. His concerts were then at the peak of his performing career. Philip was a guitarist with a sound so rich that it had elicited the admiration and awe of maestro Andres Segovia in his Madrid 1973 Master Classes. Although he studied with many of the great Spanish masters, Rosheger never pursued a formal degree in music. more: www.guitarsalon.com/blog/?p=18480
Nice playing a nice arrangement! I do think the title of the piece should simply be "Serenade" thereby giving credit, that is full credit, to the composer Philip Rosheger in the way that James Klein did with his arrangements which included expansions on the themes and variations.. It's only fair to give credit where credit is due!
How subtlety charming. How many can eat humble pie and actually admit that national socialism gave a home for the creation of the Hauser guitars of this period from within the Bavarian Guitar Movement?
Wow, separation of voices and the way he plays. Just fantastic. Nothing sounds like a Hauser!

It's all in your mind ,this Hauser guitar does not sound like anything special...nothing to write home about ,you are just influenced by a label .

Is there any way to contact Ian Mitchell? I was a student of his years ago in Portland - Jim Nailon
Linda sonoridade...
Luiz Antonio Miranda luthier não é atoa que o Marquês Andrés Segovia usava um Hauser...
Amazing..Is this a Spruce or Cedar?
Probably a silly question as it's most likely Spruce.
Great playng etc. and lovely sound, but I do prefer the unmolested simplicity of Rosheger's original. Sometimes less is so much more...
great! is the tab avalaible ?
This sounds fantastic: very nicely played, but somehow I remain unmoved. Perhaps the rhythm is too loose for me.
Close yr eyes - and THEN..listen ..really listen...to the music..!!
Feel the music..!
How subtlety charming.
