GD 183 Bulgarian Traditional Folk Music RHODOPEA KABA TRIO Vol. 1 CD
Issued: 1995
Style: folklore music
Company: Gega New GD183
Bulgarian folk songs from the Rhodope mountains, performed by Rhodopea Kaba Trio - Christina Lyutova, Verginia Ovcharova and Mariana Pavlova. The music is composed and conducted by Stefan Dragostinov.
Three rich-voiced singers (Hristina Lyutova, Verginia Ovcharova and Mariana Pavlova) change our ideas about the capacities of women's voices: deep altos, rich in timbre and mastered to perfection. Each one of the three is a prominent solo performer with a rich authentic repertoire. By uniting their voices into songs it is as if they confirm the legend about the mythical Orpheus, born in the Rhodope Mountains.
The Rhodope songs are free, calm in the pentatonic which is characteristic of this region only, with prevailing love subjects. The singers from RHODOPEA Kaba Trio illustrate to the best the song folklore of their native region. The composers' intervention has only enhanced the melodic characteristics of each of the songs without altering its authentic basis. The improvisations of Evelina Balcheva (a celebrated jazz-singer) and the trio introduce yet another curious detail in the overall traditional sounding. These are masterfully shaped out improvisations, showing some popular folk songs in a new, even exotic light.
