Info for Blackbird - The Beatles Album

After delighting audiences with the core-classical heritage of the guitar in his three previous albums, award-winning guitarist Milos Karadaglic now makes a thrilling new departure. He performs innovative new arrangements of songs by The Beatles, collaborating with celebrated artists from the pop, jazz, classical and world music fields, including Tori Amos, Anoushka Shankar, Sergio Assad and Steven Isserlis. Recorded in the famous Studio 2 of Abbey Road Studios, where The Beatles recorded almost all of their songs, the sessions also used some of the original microphones.

Bringing the classical guitar to as wide an audience as possible has been Milos’s mission from the outset. 'Since the first recording came out in 2011, there has been a huge shift in the mainstream perception of the classical guitar. With the audience now fully on board, possibilities are truly endless.’ In addition to The Beatles songbook, extensive worldwide touring, charity work and numerous other repertoire commissions, 2016/17 season will see Milos give two brand new concerto premieres - one by Howard Shore (Lord of the Rings, Hobbit, Departed) and the other by Joby Talbot (Adventures of Alice in Wonderland, Winters Tale).

Miloš Karadaglić
Born in Montenegro in 1983, Miloš Karadaglic began playing the guitar at the age of eight and quickly won national recognition for his performances. At 16 he was awarded a scholarship to London’s Royal Academy of Music where he studied with Michael Lewin, graduated with First Class Honours in 2004, and went on to complete a Masters degree in Performance. Subsequently he was made a Meaker Junior Fellow – the first guitarist to be given this accolade at the RAM.

2005 - Awarded the “Julian Bream Prize”, adjudicated by the maestro himself

2006 - His performance at London’s Wigmore Hall as a winner of the Maisie Lewis Young Artist Platform is acclaimed by Classical Guitar Magazine: “It is not very often that this sort of thing happens: where the forces of violin and piano, complete with centuries of repertoire and exuberance, are outmanoeuvred by the charm and eloquence of a single classical guitar.”

2007 - Receives the “Prince’s Prize” given by HRH Prince Charles and the Silver Medal of London’s venerable Worshipful Company of Musicians, the first guitarist ever to win these prestigious awards

2008 - Recitals at the Lucerne Festival and in London, Windsor and other venues in England

2009 - Concerts with the London Philharmonic Orchestra (Concierto de Aranjuez); recitals include Amsterdam, Rome, Switzerland and London’s Spitalfields Festival

2010 - Concerto engagements in London, Leeds and Singapore; recitals include Wigmore Hall, Vienna Konzerthaus with Rolando Villazón, Schloss Elmau (Germany), the Gstaad (Menuhin), Cheltenham, Spitalfields, iTunes (London) and Norwich festivals, as well as St. Martin-in-the Fields and Southampton, Bristol and Scotland

2011 - Signs exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon – his debut album, a personal musical tour of the Mediterranean, is being released this year. Recital plans include appearances at the Wigmore Hall, in Munich, at Schloss Elmau and at the Brighton and Boca Raton (Florida) festivals
