Company: Gega New GD188
The works on this compact disc were composed by the masters of Bulgarian and Russian church music. Most of the pieces feature Dobri Hristov and peter Dinev, experienced connoisseurs and champions of the popularisation of Bulgarian Orthodox Music. The Sofia Boys' Choir, conducted by Adriana Blagoeva is performing. The choir has a lot of awards from international contests and its greatest merit is its outstanding vocal quality, its coherence and the profound interpretations.
The Sofia Boys’ Choir is one of the most prestigious Bulgarian choirs of its kind, winner of many awards at international and national competitions. Under the guidance of the talented Adriana Blagoeva, during the past few years the choir has widened the range of its repertoire by including masterpieces of sacred music – both Catholic and Orthodox. In their consecutive release the Sofia Boys’ Choir perform liturgic chants by Dobri Hristov, Peter Dinev, Bortnyansky, Kedrov, Orlov and others. Of particular interest for the fans of religious music are the monodic chants - by authors or anonymous, such as Svyatii Boje or Slava Otsu (an old composition by the famous singer and composer John Koukouzeles). The performances are distinguished by the unique beauty of sounds of the boys’ voices led by the conductor with great skill. Each song features not only the professionalism of the great choirs, but also precision of dynamics, accents and gradation, typical of religious singing. The singers and their musicality, the perfectly performed tunes, the crystal sounds, as well as the characteristic reverberation of the recordings that recreates the atmosphere in Alexander Nevsky Cathedral leave a deep impression.
