The conductor Vassil ARNAUDOV is an example of high musical culture and mastership in the development of Bulgarian conductor art. Even today, 12 years after his death, we still remember his top achievements. During his creative art he visited many places in Bulgaria so as to help a lot of conductors and choirs. He passed his knowledge with deep love to his students, and a number of them have become famous choir conductors. His greatest achievement is with the Sofia Chamber Choir and the “Rodina” choir in Rousse. Part of the magnificent performances of the Sofia Chamber Choir have been included in the present release, which is dedicated to the 70th anniversary of Vassil Arnaudov’s birth. The program features Bulgarian composers only, whom the conductor had a great respect for. His collaboration with different composers has often provoked the creation of works specially written for the Sofia Chamber Choir.
For those who appreciate choral art performance it will be a real pleasure to listen to Philip KoutevÂ’s A Gun Went off and Dragana and the Nightingale, Krassimir KyurkchiiskiÂ’s A Little Bird Is Singing, part of Lyubomir PipkovÂ’s cycle called Quiet Songs, The Holy One by Dimitar Nenov, and many more masterpieces by Alexander Tanev, Ivan Spassov, Konstantin Iliev, Todor Popov, Pancho Vladigerov, and Milko Kolarov.
