BULGARIAN CHORAL ART, VOL. 1
The present programme is the first of a series of three albums, featuring the development and achievement of academic choral art in Bulgaria. The release contains a compilation of performances of Bulgarian choirs, starting with the children's, through the female, chamber, mixed, and ending with the male choirs. The earliest recording in the release was made in 1965. All choirs have received international awards from prestigious choir competitions and festivals. The achievements of the choirs are closely connected with the achievements of Bulgarian choir music. Many talented composers work in this genre and their works have become emblematic. The present release also presents the Bulgarian composers' school with its different stages of development. The booklet text offers detailed information about the recordings included, as well as the lyrics to the songs.
