'Blackbird - The Beatles Album': Classical Guitarist Miloš Karadaglić Compares Beatles to Bach
As a classical guitarist, Miloš Karadaglić was reared in the strict and serious tradition of Bach, Segovia, and other classical guitar masters. But there's a branch of modern music in which he experiences similar challenges and just as rewarding of an experience. His latest project, Blackbird - The Beatles Album, released on January 15th, 2016, reflects his BBC claim: that "the Beatles are as important as Bach" when it comes to western music canon. In comparing the Beatles to Bach (whose lute suites are some of the most challenging works for modern guitar), Miloš assured the BBC that he was "never worried" his Beatles project would become "something light - because I'm not light, nor is the music." Nonclassical's Street Orchestra of London Was Inspired by Amsterdam Ricciotti Ensemble
Who says that orchestras belong in the pit, or even on stage? Let's let them outside for a bit! In London (a city well-known for it's active street-side performance atmosphere, the gears are in motion to allow a brand new crowd-sourced, crowd-comprised orchestra to roam the streets of London and set up shop at various public squares throughout the summer. The goal of the orchestra, according to CMuse, is to "bring classical music to everyone". The new Street Orchestra of London, a project of the Nonclassical label, was inspired by the Amsterdam Ricciotti Ensemble, whose former director now works with Nonclassical.
