Filmed for the Sound Tracks: Quick Hits series by the Talbot Players in association with PBS Arts (http://www.facebook.com/soundtrackstv).
“Oriental” by Enrique Granados is the final track on Milos Karadaglic’s debut album on Deutsche Grammophon, “Mediterraneo,” a musical tour of his interior and geographical world.
When Milos was a novice guitarist, he hoped the instrument would win him girlfriends. It was when his father played a record for him of the beloved Andres Segovia that he realized he wanted to play that kind of music for lots of people. “In my ears, and in my whole body, something happened,” Milos remembers. Today, he doesn’t try and make it happen. He’s not in control when he plays. As in, he doesn’t think about it. “When I play,” says Milos, “I just play.”
