QUIET SONGS · BULGARIAN COMPOSERS
The CD includes several, now cherished as a valuable archive, recordings of the great Bulgarian choral conductor Prof. Vassil Arnaudov, director of long standing of the Sofia Chamber Women's Choir. These are the enchanting Winter Reflections by Todor Popov, a composer closely associated with Arnaudov, just like the other authors in the CD - Lyubomir Pipkov, Konstantin Iliev, Alexander Tekeliev, Alexander Tanev and Ivan Spassov. With the exception of the latter's Triptych, all the songs were created for and first time and performed by the choir, on the initiative of Vassil Arnaudov, who was an invaluable promoter and friend of Bulgarian vocal music. After his death (1991), the choir not only took his name but also carried on his ideas and trends championed by his pupil Theodora Pavlovitch (who is presently the choir's conductor) and Irina Shtiglich, choir-master, pianist and vocal pedagogue.
