Nikolai KAUFMANN is not only among the most adept Bulgarian musical scholars, a folklorist who has dedicated his life to the preservation, classification, tracing down and popularization of the enormous national legacy, but also a composer who has created hundreds of songs - choral, solo, folk-song arrangements, as well as chamber-instrumental works. The CD presents Kaufmann's multi-faced talent with a varied selection of his works. Together with the Three dances (for piano) from "Anthology of Bulgarian Rhythms" and the Dilmano, Dilbero Variations for Piano, performed by Prof. Ruzhka Charakchieva, one can also hear two pieces for flute and piano, performed by Maria Kaufmann and Evgenia Simeonova, all of them based on Bulgarian meters and rhythms. The famous ladies' choirs "Vassil Arnaudov" and "Polyphonia", and the "Alteration” Pleven Mixed Choir interpret Kaufmann's arrangements of Sephardic songs from the Balkans, masterfully re-created by the author as splendid pieces. The same goes about the Sephardic and Ashkenazi singing, performed with an exceptional vocal technique by jazz-singer Yildiz Ibrahimova. And folk-music lovers will relish the performances of the Severnyashki and Thracian folk ensembles, the Bulgarian National Radio Folk Choir, Yanka Rupkina, etc.
