Additional informationA collection of performances by the Bulgarian State Radio and Television Female Vocal Choir, recorded by Marcel Cellier, and originally released on Cellier records. The English translation of the title is "The Mystery Of Bulgarian Voices." Le Mystere Des Voix Bulgares is known as The Bulgarian Women's Choir in the U.S. only. The Bulgarian State Radio & Television Vocal Choir, 24 voices strong, takes traditional harvest songs, odes, and laments and wraps them in modern arrangements that preserve and polish the age-old qualities of this exotic and compelling music. Their beautiful and dissonant harmonies float and shift in waves of piercingly clear sound, often built on complex meters and off-center, chant-like rhythms. A strong Asian flavor is heard, full of emotional intensity, ranging from full choral treatments to solos, trios, and quartets. ~ Backroads Music/Heartbeats
