Eliot Fisk is known worldwide for his daring arrangements. Among other things, he (for the first time) arranged and recorded all 24 Capricci from Paganini's Op.1, Bach's 6 sonatas and partitas for solo violin, numerous harpsichord sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti, and all of Vivaldi's works for plucked instruments for guitar. Many of his recordings have won awards and entered the American Billboard Charts as bestsellers. In 1996 he was invited by the Spanish royal family to play for President Bill Clinton and his family at the Palacio de los Cordova in the Spanish city of Granada. In 2006 he received personally the most important order of the Spanish state, the Cruz De Isabela La Catolica (for services in the field of Spanish music) from the Spanish king. That same year he created the Boston Guitar Fest. This festival places the guitar in a global, cross-border context.
