Born in Montenegro in 1983, Miloš Karadaglić grew up against the background of the Balkan civil war. He began learning the guitar at the age of 8 and quickly rose to national prominence before winning a scholarship to London’s Royal Academy of Music aged 16. He has been the recipient of many prizes, including the Julian Bream Prize, the Prince’s Prize, and the Ivor Mariants Guitar Award.

Reviews
"Listening to the debut album by guitarist Miloš Karadaglić, you find yourself wondering where on earth the classical guitar has been lately...it’s as if Karadaglić is shining a brilliant light on the entire heritage of his instrument."
The Telegraph
"Lovers of the classical guitar have a new hero in the young Montenegran Miloš Karadaglić, whose artistry is so compelling that it should win many new admirers."
The Telegraph
"He focuses mainly on the instrument's Iberian heritage, with dextrous readings of the familiar Tárrega and Albéniz standards: the latter's Asturias is delivered with poise and clarity, while the superb trilling triplets of Tárrega's Recuerdos de la Alhambra are perfectly measured."
The Independent
"Karadaglić is a thoughtful, intelligent artist, as supple in his phrasing as he is generous in his use of colour. "
Grammophone Magazine
"He punched through this trio of ballads (El Decameron Negro) with an innate poise and elegance that made you sit up and listen ... And then the firecracker: A superbly inflected, impeccably judged rendition of Ginastera’ Sonata: a giant tapestry of sound combining luminous melancholy and bravura energy"
