“Azabagic’s playing is virtually flawless and his technical facility is a joy to see as well as hear; increasingly I hear him mentioned in the same breath as John Williams, and while such comparisons are invidious, this one is not without merit”
Soundboard Magazine, USA
Denis Azabagic, (b. Bosnia-1972) is one of the most compelling classical guitarists on the international concert circuit today. He performs concerts around the globe, maintaining a balance between his solo recitals, chamber music with the Cavatina Duo and engagements as soloist with orchestras.
Watch Denis perform La Catedral on "Classic Guitar Artistry by Denis Azabagic" on Mel Bay - see why the critics are raving: “...And once he started playing his guitar he became ageless. One couldn't imagine where the man, the instrument and the music separated, if at all.”

In 1993, at the age of 20, he became the youngest winner of one of the most prestigious International Guitar Competitions “Jacinto e Inocencio Guerrero,” in Madrid, Spain. After listening to Mr. Azabagic, distinguished Spanish composer, Anton Garcia Abril said: “I am sure that with time, he is going to be one of the greatest guitarists of the world.”
Between 1992 and1999 he won twenty-four prizes in international competitions, of which eleven were first prizes. He has written a book, “On Competitions”, based on his experience during these years and it is published by Mel Bay.
Azabagic has recorded seven CDs for international labels such as Naxos, Cedille, Opera Tres, and Orobroy as well as two DVD’s for the Mel Bay Company. His recordings and live performances are highly praised by music critics, for his elegant approach to music and his unique way of communicating and reaching the audiences’ hearts.
