His mission was instantly clear to me when I heard him say in an interview that he felt music to be a better representation of a country than any politician. Those words resonated in me and made me fall in love with him.
Love hischoice of music and couldlisten to him all day long.
Having listened to Asturias an uncountable number of times, I think what I like so much about his version of it is that it is just so cleanly played - some artists it just kind of blurs all in together, but with him, you can feel him hitting each note of it. Fantastic.
Isn’t this Spanish Dance? Not Asturias.
One of the leading classical guitarist
Why continue to listen to a song you have ever heard more than once? It is beautiful to see someone interact with an instrument and watch the interplay between human and spiritual, the human and the heavenly.
Truly beautiful.All the pieces were beautifully rendered.
The last piece felt soulful.
Such a beautiful rendition should get more likes.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
Absolutely amazing !!!!❤❤❤❤❤
I had the good goose bumps running all over my entire body and tears in my eyes during all pieces that he performed. Absolutely beautiful skills! All I could feel was the tenderness of the way he played and love is what touched my heart. Thank you for keeping this video up for others to enjoy. Take care and stay healthy. (Smile)
Beautiful
Perhaps you should listen to what he actually said. He didn't call it a flamenco piece at all. What he suggested was that IF any classical piece COULD be called flamenco then it would be Austurias. He then went on the elaborate why he felt that. A perfectly legitimate thing for him to feel and express.
I find Milos playing absolutely amazing. He is a skilled guitarist whom has inspired me to start playing again. I love his selection of music. For those of you who feel it necessary to post negative comments, maybe you follow the wise old statement. If you have nothing good to say about someone, then you should say nothing at all. Be kind, your life will be better for it.
I haven’t seen any negative comments, why would people criticise his playing ?
because his technique isn't good. look at Segovia or David Russell for a real classical guitar player.
Jonathan why isn’t his technique good ? Give some examples. He has been under David Russell anyway so they come from the same school.
@@christofinb you can hear that when he returns his right hand fingers to the nail, they're hitting the string and that's just for Romance (the first piece he played). This also applies to the second piece. For instance, see 4:24 his right hand is clunky, and he butchers the end of the first coda at 5:15 because his left hand placement isn't accurate...yet he isn't even playing the piece fast, he's playing much slower than the piece is typically played....See the recording of Asturias (leyenda) by Julian Bream for an example of how it should be played. Another example, see how his left hand bends the string at 13:46 when he is far up on the neck? That's not an artistic effect to change the pitch, that's just bad technique. The string shouldn't bend up, his left hand should be perpendicular to the fret so that it doesn't bend the string.
@@jgonsmith thanks very interesting, ironically I find almost the opposite with him I find him to pedestrian to clinical.
To me if I have a criticism of his playing that would be for those reasons ergo that it's not 'authentic' sounding enough, to robotic.
His playing doesn't really move me like some other classical players but interestingly enough it's probably not for the reasons you've outlined...?
You sound like you know what you're talking about, just interested to know why he would not be respected so much compared to other well known players, to my ear though his technical ability is not so much in question, besides it's not a sport, music is subjective.
Ayayay! The goosebumps started up immediately! What musicality. Thank you.
Exquisite performance of Asturias! Listened to half a dozen times and found something new to marvel at each time. Bravo!
He looks really great when he smiles. Go for it, Miloš!
Love Tiny Desk now that I know it. Milos vibe is outstanding.
He's honoring repertoire of the past and does not intend to only do old repertoire. He's starting out with songs that influenced him before he introduces new material. You know why he gets attention? Because as a boy he believed in himself, sacrificed a lot, worked very hard, and he's actually talented! He got rejected by many companies before signing to DG but kept at it. Yes there are better guitarists out there but that's life.There are also talented singers that don't get recognition either.
so many envy in here... peace&love
Pinceladas musicales en el Aire !!! Increíble a el nivel que llevo su talento muchas felicidades y gracias por compartirlo !!! Abrazos desde Argentina 🐐
Milos is without a doubt a good player and some may find him great. I thinks he is good, but not exceptionally. What actually surprises me is the effect of the marketing strategy in general. Milos plays at a Master level and does that very well. Also he is capable of reaching millions of people, and that is from the perspective of the result of diverse musical-industrial strategies and his playing and personallity. But he is presented here as the new prince, the saver of the classical guitar as if there was nobody before or nowadays... and that is rubbish.
I agree, but everyone is hating on him because some label execs decided to throw money at him. I'm glad he's doing well and able to make a career out of it. And let's not forget he's in his twenties, let's give him more time to develop as a musician, he surely has the time and money to do it.
Haters want to hate. Lovers want to love.
Good talk.
+Peter van Deerse You are rubbish..! Where do you come off criticizing a live performance of this caliber ? !! Does he make mistakes ? No ! Do you hear squeaks ? NO ! Marketing schmarketing ! Segovia was marketed !! It's called earning a living as a concert musician....I leave the floor to you. You are up next on stage to show us how to really play classical guitar !! Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Peter Van Schmuck !!
+Mark Harris yes I heard a mistake at 4:25...but you didn't get the point at all. What I wanted to say is that there are many young classical guitarists ( follow the GFA competition and its winners e.g.) on a grandmaster level beyond this level. Furthermore I see a record industry trying to make money by adding strategies like imagebuilding in combination with the playing qualities of Milos. And furthermore to you: show some respect and think and listen carefully before jelling.
Spanish Romance.. Lovely
great playing and technique! koyunbaba is an amazing piece!
exactly. Thank you.
I am seriously laughing at this comment because of how pitiful it sounds. I do in fact appreciate his tone and phrasing. His albums clearly showcase his talent. I have learned music in school and can also play an instrument. So I can appreciate good music. Please do yourself a favor and stop being so hateful.
He may to a certain extent dictate his choice of repertoire due to his label and his audience but there is no doubting he is an excellent musician and as a Conservatoire student myself i just find it so refreshing for the instrument to get som recognition and exposure. Also compare his albums in a few years and his music will develop, he is still a relatively fresh graduate. just look how xue fei's repertoire has progressed.
it's the first time, i've finally understood koyunbaba, thank you. sometimes it is needed not so great performer to understand music.. :-)
Stunning
Anyone who feels envious and feels the need to judge another musician is someone who knows NOTHING about dedicating ones life to an instrument. I was just about to type "I have found my new hero" but again we read judgement comments. Haters who know nothing more than how to play Power Chords with the worst distortion possible. I have dedicated my life to this instrument and I know just how much it takes to move from beginner Power Chord noise maker to the beautiful sounds that only comes from the string and wood. I would never judge another serious player. Those of us who still love to play know just how much work, isolation, insanity, loneliness it takes, but we push further. We push past all those annoyances because we have to, because we can't stop, because we feel every note. This man feels every note, he wanted this he worked hard to have it and he deserves it. Only an amateur (that's french for village idiot) would sit back and judge, blindly not seeing this mans honesty and brilliance.
With no judgement comes no improvement; Milo's teacher giving him advise and correcting him is judgment too.
While I do think that there are good and bad judgments, but it does not take a classical musician to judge one other.
+John It's alright to judge, but for this kind of classic music, it can't be anyone. It MUST be a true musician
+Nuno Cardoso Why? There is a lot of human beings who listen to a lot of music without ever playing an instrument. Don't they also have a right to like something or not or to have an opinion? When music is played it is played for any listener to enjoy it or dislike it and yes, even to judge it, it is not something reserved just for other musicians hearing.
+Stephen Houghton I agree with what you wrote.
+Michajeru FOOK YOU
beautiful !!!
Great tone and passion. Definitely of the Spanish school. Fire in the belly.
He's a hottie and he can play just fine, thanks very much. Looks do not hurt a career at all. It's a real howl reading all the so-called "critics" on these youtube vids--so many opinions, so little smarts. Maybe he'll be one of the fortunate few musicians who can actually make a decent living playing music--I wish him the best and enjoy his work.
This is art appreciation.
Des oeuvres indémodables. En dehors de jeux interdit très connu, les autres oeuvres sont très souvent jouées par les très bons guitaristes classiques.
J’aime beaucoup le touché et la sensibilité de ce jeune guitariste.Que du plaisir pour les oreilles!…
Je ne partage pas toujours les commentaires critiques (si vous comprenez l’anglais) qui sont soit disant des spécialistes?…
La musique reste avant tout une affaire de gout et de sensibilité de chacun!
Même s’il ne satisfait pas à 100% les "puristes"?
NB: j'apprécie aussi ce style d'enregistrement qui semble pour une fois réalisé sans "fioritures!"
excellent performance!
Sometimes its about who is doing it in front of you... not just who else can do it.. or do it better, take time to enjoy the moment and not compare it to moments past... honestly this sounds like it game from a legend of zelda game, not a huge fan but for a couple minutes it was good to me
This guy has a serious case of guitar face. I love it.
I just started learning how to play guitar and started looking for motovarional vids...and found an underground troll scene😂🎸love it
Hermoso ☺️
I agree he chooses the very well-known, already-quite played pieces, but still is a great player.
Muy talentoso Milos.
Omg his face when he plays is so handsome!!"!!
Damn, some of you all are haters. Give the guy a break. He's pretty damn good, and as far as playing classics goes thats what classical guitar is unless youre playing modern stuff like Duchan; plus it's a good way to measure a guitar player. Youre criticisms of him sound like jealous bystanders in an audience wishing they could be in his position.
I enjoy listening you play, thank you.
Beautiful!
First Song:
Author: Carlos Iafelice ( Brazil )
Song: Romance de amor ( Romance of love )
Oh and that's where you are wrong again. I do know of Julian Bream and Andres Segovia- they are the greats of classical guitar and I can admit that Milos is not at their level especially Bream's. Bream is a genius. I also know that Milos was a recipient of a Julian Bream prize when he was studying at RAM, and it was given to him by Bream himself. I think that says something. Milos is doing a good job of introducing classical guitar to newcomers in order to create more players to begin with.
wow
LOVE IT!!!
i think he is good and i think his pieces are a conscious choice
if you will make a career playing guitar you will have to play some pieces people know and like . then you can add somthing you like and people will be more open to it
Enjoyable-but compare this to David Russel's playing in the same series. David is in a completely different class-a real master. I've really enjoyed this whole Tiny Music Desk series!
Why are you comparing him to David? Two different guitarists playing a different concert? On the free tiny desk series? 'Enjoyable but..' ?? what a joke!
this is a sad day for me, I enjoy playing classical guitar, I'm not an advanced player yet but I have a desire to be, and I know with practice I can be. but it is so sad to hear other musicians try to destroy one another for no apparent reason, wow I'm really confused. God help us.
you don't see other musicians tearing apart David Russell or Paco de Lucia for a reason...
@@jgonsmith thank you
@Andy Arriaga Cool
Wow...I never would have guessed that a performance like this would stir such emotions! So many haters! You guitar aficionados are worse than Star Wars nerds complaining over Jar Jar Binks.
I agree with craigalake, the greate players , Segovia, bream, Williams all spent a great deal of there careers playing new pieces commissioned for them which extended the repertoire and reputation of the instrument, romance is the 1st piece I ever learnt when I was 14, 30 years ago, it's simple. He clearly has great technique though but I'd rather hear him play more exciting pieces.
Superb performance..... my only complaint is the camerawork..... much too close at times.... you can't see the finger & fretwork.....
Maybe Milos "gets away" with playing the long-time standards because, unlike most classical guitarists, he has succeeded in gaining enough audience from outside the classical guitar ghetto to support a career. Within which nowadays it is almost impossible to make a living. An audience to whom the standards are not only not cliché, they are brand new. The temerity! Not only that, he produces music videos with orchestration. Heresy! Bah. I hope he cries all the way to the bank for years to come.
What I don't understand is the need for all the haters to comment under a video of a musician that they hate. What are you really trying to accomplish? It just shows your jealousy and how sad and pitiful you all are. If you do not like him, then don't listen to him...simple as that. All you bunch of sad classical guitar snobs need to get a life.
Beautiful! Who's the luthier of this guitar?
OMG such hate and obvious jealousy. I think he was trying to introduce viewers to the world of classical guitar. It is obvious he is in front of a crowd that is new to this type of music. By the way, he CAN play much harder pieces including Sevilla. It is on his album and it is amazing.
@timothyforvendetta i also know spanish romance ;-) the other two songs require much more skill and precision to play, specially the last one with the alternate tunning, that's why i said that he's a good player.
cheers and thanks for agreeing.
Lets hazzard a guess as to why he is all over the place ,,,His LOOKS ,pure and simple .It's beauty over talent.Not saying he isnt good ,but ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
magnificent
For those of you who say Smallmans dont sound good...eat it...heres proof they do. Stop regurgitating what you heard somebody else say so you can sound musically intelligent.
You're just jealous cuz Milos gon have some anonymous romances after this
I found it. The perfect comment.
Leyenda is about as difficult as it gets though!
Which type of guitar is that?
Milos is the Ted Mosby of classical guitar
Its been done and done and done and done and done and done and done and done and done and done and done and done and done and done and done and done again. Why is he famous? He isn't a bad guitarist, far from it, but seriously there are so many competitive guitarists that could blow this dude out of the water. Perhaps it IS about acquaintances and selling yourself to the right people at deutsche grammophon. Don't squander your good fortune and I hope you feel blessed.
The first piece he played sounded to me like a battle between the top two stings vs. the bottom three strings. Interesting sound.
YES!!! i love him haha
"Is the musical public still this naive about the classical guitar?"
Yes, yes, yes they are. "The musical public" doesn't just include people who listen to Chopin and Mozart. It's *everybody*. The mere fact that he *explains* that Asturias is famous in the classical guitar world should tell you that this performance is marketed to the general public--not to people who have heard it ever before.
And so much the better for us guitarists. We NEED the exposure this guy gives us.
He is very good. By the way, the last piece he played was what? Can any one tell me the title of that piece? I did not understand what he said.
Carlo Domeniconi: Koyunbaba - moderato
Thank you very much. That was very sad and beautiful.
¡¡¡Bravísimo!!!
ENVY it's a horrible menace
where? ive search and found milos janjic, its not this milos. what do you mean by killed it?
✨🕊✨
even so, john williams' slower interpretation allows Leyenda to build up and climax so intensely at the first flamenco strummed B major
Couldn´t help and stare all the time at his fingers...
Also with the exceptions Sergio and Roland i can no think of another guitarist whos compositions are anywhere near as complex, musical, beautiful and sometime haunting as Albeniz, Granados, Barrios (all of who he has recorded, including Sergio!)
@nebrulla it's not possible to explain why guitars play out of tune in 450 words but you will find an interesting article on the subject here.
timberens com essays tuning.htm
use a . for the com and slashes in the other spaces to make the link. It's an interesting subject if you care to study it. The human perception of pitch can be quite variable. Almost no instrument plays perfectly in tune yet can sound fine to the ear.
Hey I'm playing 2/3 of those pieces, myself
Good stuff. Good choice of music for general audience. Dude should learn Fur Elise, Moonlight Sonata (first movement), and Turkish March also. When well played, these pieces never fail to astound and attract.
Say what you like; I don't know much about classical guitar. I enjoyed listening to this and went back to listen to Asturias a second time. Boo to the naysayers and to classical guitar snobbery.
Bravo young man! I really loved that second piece!!!
Many here criticize Milos. I would like to the great guitar specialist to put your video on YT to see them.
guitarmbar, you said it the best! This is not the repertoire for someone who is getting so much attention. He is a good player, I perfectly agree. But, playing Romanza! Really! There are so many phenomenal players far better than him who even compose their own ridiculous pieces and they are not getting nearly this much publicity.
Acho que a maioria dos críticos não tem pratica e conhecimento o suficiente para julgar, o que leva a concluir que a mais e inveja.Milos Karadaglic e Magnifico !
How is it played maestro? There are no tempo markings and the author is unknown, yet YOU know. Please share.
anyone knows what guitar is he using? the rosette looks exactly like john william's
You're correct, he plays a Greg Smallman, just like John Williams.
คุ้นหูมาก หาตั้งนาน คนนี้เอง
@kurouki I totally agree with you. I don't understand why he would play Spanish Romance in a set of pieces to show his skill....That's like the first song I learned. meh is right.
asturias is beginner? you ever actually picked up a guitar? can we see your rendition?
the finesse, the technique, and the general feel of his playing really captures my attention. I like these types of guitar pieces because, if played by a virtuoso like milos, you can emote so much. guys a good looking dude too. haha
nice...
Amazing guitar work. Not so amazing camera work.
Personally, the sign to the left of his head says it all.
classic
wonder what that guitar is he plays?
It is not how many times the pieces are played, the problem that a lot of people have with him is the repertoire . Romanza is really not at the level of Chopin or Debussy work. You can't even compare. When I see his face on just about every radio appearance & concert, I have to believe that he is something extraordinary & above others. He is good but he is nothing exceptional. There R way 2 many players better than him technically & musically who also compose brilliant music.
hey thank you...they are pretty nice guitars..i saw Williams & Smallman on the Bio...very expensive....I am looking for a newer guitar next month perhaps...i bought a Cordoba C9...too much mid-range..other than that it's nice...was going to move up to a Clarita...but perhaps for the price of $2k i could go with a luthier...not sure what to do really at this point...except keep on practicing...lol
Is that a fuckin MF Doom LUNCHBOX?!!?
