The Dobroudja State Ensemble
'Dobrich'
(GD140)
Kostadin Bouradjiev - Director and
Conductor
Dobroudja State Ensemble for Folk Songs and Dances from the town of Dobrich is one of the oldest and most renowned Bulgarian folk formations which has been performing the most original samples of the folk musical and dance tradition from the region of Dobroudja for more than three decades now.
The backbone of the Dobroudja Ensemble is formed by the folk orchestra and the folk choir. The compositions are conducted by the Ensemble's Chief Artistic Director Kostadin Bouradjiev who is also the author of two of the instrumental pieces on this CD.
The present collection opens with Kosta Kolev's original piece entitled Suite for Dobroudjanska Troika. The Dobroudjanska Troika- a combination of two folk instruments and concertina is characteristic of this region only.
Aliexander Djigov - bagpipe (Plovdivsko Horo) and Zhivko Zhelev - kaval (Horo forKaval), the
ensemble's soloists feature brilliantly with their performing skill and musicianship.
The present CD is an unique combination of traditional and innovative composing techniques, of authentic and original tunes. It reflects like a mirror the characteristics of a vital genre of long standing, that of folk choirs and Ensembles, a movement pioneered by Philip Koutev, the unforgettable Bulgarian composer.'
