We had the pleasure of interviewing MILO\u0160 over Zoom video!
Celebrating 10 years with Universal Music, superstar and bonafide \u201cClassical Guitar God\u201d (The Times) MILO\u0160 releases a brand new album, featuring two outstanding original concertos, both specially-commissioned for the star musician \u2013 a testament to his outstanding musicianship and pioneering spirit, showcasing new guitar repertoire on the world stage.
The Moon & The Forest, released on April 30th 2021, features works for guitar and orchestra by award-winning composers Howard Shore (Lord of the Rings, The Departed) and Joby Talbot (The Hitchhiker\u2019s Guide to the Galaxy, Winter\u2019s Tale). Inspired by his now legendary artistry and unique personal heritage, both Shore and Talbot worked closely with MILO\u0160 in order to create two distinctive, groundbreaking scores.
Best known for his epic scores to the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films, Howard Shore\u2019s guitar concerto \u2018The Forest\u2019 partially deviates from his works on the screen, drawing instead from the symbiotic relationship between people and the earth. Montenegro and its dark forests have been an inspiration to Howard and MILO\u0160 from the beginning, when the work was first commissioned by Canada\u2019s National Arts Centre.
Taking its title from a collection of Japanese love poetry, the concerto very much places the guitar \u2013 and its soloist \u2013 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.
The album also includes innovative new arrangements for solo guitar of Ludovico Einaudi\u2019s \u2018Full Moon\u2019 and Robert Schumann\u2019s \u2018Tr\xe4umerei\u2019 \u2013 two moving pieces from the Romantic and Modern classical repertoire. Canada\u2019s National Arts Centre Orchestra and the BBC Symphony Orchestra feature on the recording, conducted by Alexander Shelley and Ben Gernon respectively.
To mark a decade of incredible music-making with Universal Music, MILO\u0160\u2019s new album cements his position as not only \u201cthe hottest guitarist in the world\u201d (Sunday Times), but also a pioneer and innovator of contemporary guitar repertoire for the ages.
