Miloš Karadaglić wows Amsterdam audience

El guitarrista balcánico desplegó sus dotes en las cuerdas de uno de los instrumentos más arraigados del Mediterráneo en un programa repleto de variedades.

Despite the big Spanish beasts like Rodrigo and de Falla, it is a small work by contemporary Mexican composer Gabriela Ortiz that packs the biggest punch in this programme.

Miloš Karadaglić provides atmosphere and virtuosity in Joby Talbot’s newest work, while Alexander Vedernikov and the BBC Symphony Orchestra give Russian flourishes in Glinka and Tchaikovsky.

Miloš Karadaglić plays his debut at Colston Hall with Brussels Philharmonic under Michel Tabachnik. 

The London Philharmonic give a revelatory account of Tchaikovsky's “Pathétique” Symphony, enhanced by an impromptu lecture from Vladimir Jurowski. 

In an engaging German-Scots accent, RSNO first violinist Ursula Heidecker Allen promised the pre-concert talk audience an evening of sunny Mediterranean moods. Time being a factor in these very worthwhile 25-minute, capacity-crowd events, she addressed only the programme’s two Respighi pieces, mentioning that he was a pupil of another programmed composer, Martucci.
