Baroque'n'Roll – Trans-Classics III

Maybe you were present in the Gstaad Chapel on 28 August 2010? A young guitarist from Montenegro worked musical wonders on his guitar. It didn’t take Milos Karadaglic long to attract the attention of the international spotlights: his first album was released in April 2011 for the prestigious Deutsche Grammaphon label. The Daily Telegraph ran the headline “Classical guitar has a new hero”. A hero who is able to keep his head on his shoulders and is of the opinion that it is time for his instrument “to come out of hibernation”. It wasn’t all too long ago that the smoke from the Balkan conflict could still be seen in his country and he discovered a dusty instrument on top of a cabinet that would change his life … Now, he has returned to the Saanenland to collaborate with the Festival Strings Lucerne, crafting a programme that skillfully blends baroque shades with timeless Beatles hits – a tribute to the diversity of music that he already delighted audiences with back in 2016 on his album “Blackbird”.
