Who is milos the guitar

He performed by heart with the charisma of a rock star and the elegance of a classical musician. His long standing relationship with the conductor and orchestra was evident in their almost intuitive interaction. He returned in the second half to play Spanish Romance. And the spontaneous outburst was by no means the only one of the concert.

He introduces pieces with amusing personal anecdotes, shares intimate feelings that the music inspires in him, makes witty musical in-jokes, and the effect all this produces on the audience is intoxicating. Limelight Magazine Dec 14th Gallery ; Download photos and biography.

It is exactly this that inspired me to seek new ideas and approach Joby and Howard in the first place. It is everchanging. It is always striving for equilibrium and harmony. I find this interconnectedness and interdependency inspiring.

These are ideas I carry with me and are often the source from which I express my musical ideas. The work is magical, just like the enchanted forest Howard wanted to paint with his unique musical brushstrokes. Its dramatic orchestration and guitar writing aim to challenge the perceived notion of what a guitar concerto can and should be.

Taking its title from a collection of Japanese love poetry, the concerto very much places the guitar — and its soloist — at the very centre of proceedings. Cast in three movements that flow into one another, changes in mood and atmospheric timbre permeate the work, exploring sonorous landscapes that bring the vivid imagery to life. Joby loves the guitar- he celebrates it and envelops its delicate voice with veils of sound and colour. The full power of the orchestration and guitar writing in the third movement breaks the glass ceiling of possibilities.

All orders are subject to a transaction fee, except if made in person. He showcases virtuosity, as well as the intimacy of the guitar sound, by carefully orchestrating the score. The second movement is very still, the outer movements are constantly moving.

The orchestra is at full power, but never overpowering. The music is so beautiful. I am nervous and very excited all at the same time. CG: The Talbot and Shore premieres were delayed because of some hand injuries. Were you surprised that the unspeakable happened to you? I was on this very dark path alone and I had to learn from my own mistakes.

It has to be said that we, as musicians, unfortunately, exist in a world where developing a hand injury is seen as weakness and something shameful. Suffering in silence is very much a part of our masochistic physiology, of our constant, insatiable appetite for perfection and excellence. We use our hands in extraordinary ways—just think how many hours a day, multiplied by weeks and years.

But still, we try. No pain, no gain. I have been guilty of all those things—much less as a student, but much more so as a professional. From until , I gave performances on average per year, recorded new albums in between, kept learning new repertoire, not to mention the pressure of being so exposed, chronically jet-lagged, tired, etc.

On the one hand, all my childhood dreams came true, and yet it was somehow never enough. So, I pushed and pushed. And being onstage and making music was my refuge. A few months preceding the injury, I was in the best shape of my life. I performed effortlessly and never felt more free and content in my recitals.

But then the schedule intensified, and in one month I had to prepare repertoire for the Beatles album—all brand-new and freshly arranged. I was alternating between a two-hour solo recital program and the Concierto de Aranjuez , and I created a new collaboration for the Verbier Festival, as well as other chamber projects. I remember sleeping very little and struggling intensely to find a moment of peace. But I persisted, to great results—it was some of my best work.

This came as a huge shock to my system. At the end of this very intense stretch, I was not able to hold the guitar any more. I played the last note at Abbey Road and then felt that I needed to rest for a few weeks. Everyone understood and was so supportive. I consulted a hand specialist in London, and to my relief, I was told that everything was simple and easily fixable, and that it was just intense muscle tension.

I needed to wear a support on my wrist, not work too hard, enjoy life, sleep, and eat. It felt so good to do that. But after a few weeks of treatment and good rest, when I wanted to start working on the repertoire, it was far worse. I was in a panic, and so was everyone else. I was told one confusing thing after another, and the more advice I had from the specialists, the more lost I felt. Strangely, I could easily play fast passages on the guitar, but the slow lyrical phrases were impossible.

It made no sense. And that was enough to create more psychological mayhem. I was crushed, but I was prepared to face it. I researched dystonia beyond what I already knew and talked to many people.

But everything I was hearing made no sense to me.
