Milo\u0161 at Wigmore Hall: The musician has returned to the London venue after living through his \u2018wildest musical fantasies\u2019<\/p>\n
From The Independent<\/a><\/p>\n By Michael Church<\/p>\n In 2009 Milos Karadaglic made his London debut as a young unknown at the Wigmore Hall. Since then, as just plain Milos, this peerless Montenegrin guitarist has established himself as the anointed successor to Julian Bream, and has released a series of acclaimed autobiographical CDs. And his story is indeed worth telling.<\/p>\n …<\/p>\n He\u2019s come back to the Wigmore to present the fruits of this exploration: Bach and a clutch of classical composers from the Hispanic world, plus arrangements of three Beatles songs. Bach\u2019s Lute Partita in C minor becomes a reminder of why Milos\u2019s refined musicality is second to none among guitarists. Each movement is finely shaded, and the fugue has a smooth eloquence. Two Granados dances trip past with fleet delicacy, while Isaac Albeniz\u2019s \u201cAsturias\u201d, in an arrangement by Milos\u2019s tutor Michael Lewin, evinces a fine flamenco fury.<\/p>\n Interlarded with short pieces by Tarrega and De Falla, the programme continues with five Villa-Lobos preludes which allow Milos to play brilliant games with dynamics \u2013 from a wispy breath of wind to a raging tempest \u2013 but the Beatles numbers, though clever, come over as mere curiosities. The encore \u2013 a harmonically oblique rendering of \u201cOver the Rainbow\u201d \u2013 gracefully dematerialises.<\/p>\n Read the full review.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Milo\u0161 at Wigmore Hall: The musician has returned to the London venue after living through his \u2018wildest musical fantasies\u2019 From The Independent By Michael Church In 2009 Milos Karadaglic made his London debut as a young unknown at the Wigmore Hall.
