For the first time on the air of LR3 “Klasika” – a guitarist Miloš Kardaglič the album “Baroks”, which was released in 2023 Sony Classical supplies

Introducing the album, the describer Christoph Vrat draws attention to the term baroque, which is derived from the word used by Portuguese jewelers in the 16th and 17th centuries to denote the irregular shapes of pearls.

Here lies the magic of this period, which Miloš Karadaglič explores in this album. It is a journey of discovery that takes you in different directions and as the artist himself says: “The Baroque era is wonderful, mysterious and extremely exciting. At the same time, the Baroque era is also a reference point for the way in which the history of music developed further. They are also passions that can be expressed in mathematically precise forms and follow almost geometrically precise rules, but at the same time they offer the greatest possible freedom.” This explains why we are so eager to return to this departed world.”

Miloš Karadaglič is also pleased with the colorfulness, variety and abundance of contrasts of the Baroque. These are the contrasts between dark and light, created by rapid dynamic changes and sudden interactions between the solo instrument and the orchestra. It is a pleasure for the artist to immerse himself in this music, because it is a completely different world from the one with which the guitar is traditionally associated.

The idea of ​​the album has been in the making for more than ten years, and the years of the pandemic have facilitated the process, as they have given more inspiration to dig deeper. Miloš has chosen the works of nine composers for his new album.
