Bulgarian folk songs and dances, performed by Petko Radev - clarinet, Petko Dachev - accordion with the Bulgarian National Radio Orchestra.
Petko Radev founded the Bulgarian National Radio Folk Orchestra in the 70ies. It made an immediate impression on listeners with its new musical sound, new type of improvisations and fascinating introductions. Even though he has an academic musical background, having graduated from the Bulgarian Academy of Music, Petko Radev applies the best devices of the Thracian instrumental tradition in his performing. Making use of his profound classical training, he transfers to the studio and stage the brilliant and sophisticated sound, combined with his free stylistic improvisations, which he has inherited from the virtuoso musicians from his childhood. On the other hand, many folk musicians learn from his talent and he himself is the creator of a school for interpreting of Bulgarian folklore.
Another famous musician who has played in the folk orchestra of the Bulgarian National Radio since its very creation is the accordionist Petko Dachev. While the Thracian wedding bands of the 60ies and 70ies abounded in perfect clarinetists, the accordion still had a subordinate place and the players used to keep to simpler improvisations. This is what makes Petko DachevÂ’s vast creative method so prominent. In his improvisations he enriched the Strandja vocal mode of playing with a characteristic ornamental strain and in this way created a new Strandja-Thracian style, which quickly found its followers and is has been widely exploited by musicians recently.
By establishing a new orchestra, Petko Radev and Petko Dachev attain a new mode in the interpretation of Bulgarian music folklore, which responds to the creative requirements of a whole generation of folk musicians.
