GALINA DURMUSHLIYSKA - "Enchanting Voice of Bulgaria" Arc Music, 2002 Galina is a MAJOR star in her native Bulgaria, known as "the voice of Dobrudzha," after the region of her birth and the source of most of her songs. Most of these songs involve beautiful village maidens and their many suitors. Her delivery is a bit nasal, and I don't always feel the full emotional weight of the songs, but she has excellent control. The Bulgarian National Radio Orchestra and Bulgarian National Folk Orchestra provide a wonderful backdrop, along with two star kaval (flute) players. Extensive liner notes included. This album really grew on me once I gave it a chance. Try any track! ( Fo's Picks: 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 17 ) 01. slow, patient, with some tension 02. airy ruchenitsa dance rhythm 03. serious music, intertwined layers 04. upbeat; about snow in summer 05. slow, ponderous 06. light bounce, great violins & pipes 07. sad, drawn-out duet for voice & flute 08. slow and touching, quiet orchestra 09. surging, pulsing dance rhythm 10. slow, dreamlike, with spooky flute 11. slow start, but 2nd half is perky 12. solo: a work song, slow & steady 13. stark, windblown: voice + 3 flutes 14. dramatic, about the loss of youth 15. happy sounding but very repetitive 16. slow, sleepy; odd key changes 17. old-fashioned; w/low-range tooting 18. another slow, dramatic piece [Fo] - 4/18/03 | ||
