His virtuosic performances are harmony with the performance of renowned musicians like Theodosii Spassov, Petar Ralchev, Stoyan Yankulov, Nedyalko Nedyalkov, Angel Dimitrov, Petar Milanov, Hristo Yotsov, Dimitar Bogdanov. The arrangements are made by Georgi Andreev, Hristofor Radanov. However, what impresses most is the diversity and and variety of the songs in the album. They are all brimming over with ceaseless improvisations on the part of these unique musicians.
The ten pieces included in the release are unique in their style and way of presentation. We see the gadulka instrument from a different angle, in a new light. This is due, on the one hand, to the virtuosity of the gadulka player, and on the other - to the musical concert and creative invention of the composer Peyo Peev. |
