“We have beautiful pieces that were composed originally, but mostly from Spain, you know, there's a lot of Spanish repertoire for guitar. But Sabachi in itself is a challenge.”

“A lot of it also has to do with the quality of the arrangement. Obviously, Bach didn't compose for guitar, so we have a lot of arrangements, and that's when the arranger comes in. You have to be familiar with the classical guitar, how it works. So I perform a lot of arrangements by a Croatian arranger, Walter Desbeil, who is actually a cellist. So he comes from a different world, but he understands guitar very well. On a cello, you cannot bring all these voices out as clearly as on a classical guitar. So I think that's part of it. You know, you can bring the bass like, you can bring the middle line, you can bring the upper line very, very clearly. I think that's part of it, you know, but also as a performer, you know, you have to find ways to make it interesting, to make, like I said, all the voices come out very, very clearly. I think that's number one. So obviously as a guitarist, you know, we don't have a lot of repertoire.”

“You do, so I think the audience recognizes that. So for me personally, there's a special connection with box music, you know, from a very, very early age. And it continues to be so. So probably will always be that way, you know. So growing up, I listened to a lot of cellist violinists, pianists, how they interpret. And I tried to apply that on classical guitar, which is not easy, you know. So just that in itself is a challenge for me. It always challenges me. Box music in general challenges me to become a better musician. So I think all those things together combined just makes it very special, you know. So personally, like I said, for me, it's the most beautiful music that was ever, you know, created.”

“It's a very good question. My love for bach music actually started when I was very young, growing up in Croatia. It was part of our repertoire that we studied at the academy and in the school of music. I was introduced to it from a very early age. And I just connected with it immediately for some reason. Throughout all these years, boss music is something that I always play and always continue to play. And I think it's just, you know, we're so used to hearing bach on violin, piano, cello, but we're not so used to hearing it in guitar. And it's a completely different quality when you hear it on a classical guitar. All the voices come out very clearly. The baseline is obviously very, very important. So I think it just comes out completely more beautiful organic way on the guitar, you know? And I think also it has to do with the performer, of course. If you love box music, if you connect with it, I think it comes through to what...”
