2011 was a great year for Miloš Karadaglić, he was Gramophone Magazine’s “Young Artist of the Year” and recipient of its Specialist Classical Chart Award. His Deutsche Grammophon debut album “The Guitar” has sold over 150,000 copies worldwide.
The Times, on June 9, 2012 wrote the following:
- “On this selection of Latin-American music, from Piazzolla and Villa-Lobos to lesser-known jewels by Brouwer and Dyens, he’s best when he lingers over the nostalgic harmonies. His technique and timbral variety are impressive, but some interpretations sound a little sanitised.”
The Independent wrote on the same day:
- “Mingling the familiar with the technically exacting, it’s a programme designed to showcase both Miloš’s skills and his natural flamboyance…the delicate trills of Mangoré’s “Un Sueño en la Floresta”, like an insect skating across water, confirm his featherlight command of his instrument.”
