The musician Miloš, born in Montenegro, has made a significant contribution to the renaissance of the classical guitar with his concerts and recordings and has also shown with projects such as a Beatles album that he moves effortlessly both within and beyond traditional genre boundaries. In Bad Kissingen, he can be heard with the musical evergreen “Over the Rainbow”. The focus of the program, however, is baroque music. Bach actually wrote his D minor Ciaconna for violin; for Miloš, however, transcriptions are “approximations, not alienations”, as he explained about his recording of the unfathomably profound piece. For him, arranging it for guitar is therefore “not a compromise, but the same ascent to the summit as with a violin.”
