The series BULGARIAN FOLK HERITAGE features performers and composers who have contributed to collecting, preserving and circulating of folk music art. They present to the audience samples of all folk regions. The previous albums featured the composers Kosta Kolev, Anastas Naumov and singer Snejana Borissova. Stefan Kanev was included in the series with two programmes (GD 298 and GD 352). The composer has contributed in an exceptional way in the the preservation and promotion of Bulgarian folk art. He is among the most ardent admirers of Bulgarian folklore and his author’s interventions are always very delicate. For this reason many of the renowned performers preferred to work with him as a composer. In fact, almost all Bulgarian singers and instrumentalists from the second half of the 20th century had collaborated with Stefan Kanev. The third programme dedicated to his works includes the most renowned names in Bulgarian folk performing art.
