The three female vocalists in the Trio Bulgarka /Yanka Rupkina, Stoyanka Boneva, and Eva Georgieva/ have also performed and recorded with the Sofia Radio Choir, who can be heard on the famous series of Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares albums. The trio's performances, understandably, place considerably greater weight on the harmonic and solo vocal skills of each member. Several respected Bulgarian musicians accompany them on some of the tracks on their album, The Forest is Crying, which was co-produced by Joe Boyd (more famous for producing rock acts such as Fairport Convention and R.E.M.). The Trio Bulgarka are also part of the group Balkana, have made well-received tours of the U.S. with the Radio Choir, and recorded a few tracks with rock singer Kate Bush.
This second volume of Le Mystere des voix Bulgares features performances by the Bulgarian State Radio and Televison Female Choir and the Female Vocal Choir, Sofia won a GRAMMY award in 1989.

Bulgarian State Television Female Vocal Choir
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Bulgarian State Radio and Television Female Vocal Choir is an internationally renowned World Music ensemble that blends traditional six-part a capella repertoire with modern arrangements. It is most recognized under the recording name Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares. First created in Bulgaria in 1952 by Philip Koutev, "the father of Bulgarian concert folk music," the choir is now under the direction of Dora Hristova. Koutev also created and conducted the Ensemble of the Bulgarian Republic in 1951.

Singers are chosen from country villages for the beauty and openness of their voices, and they undergo extensive training in the unique centuries' old singing style. Influenced by Bulgaria's Thracian, Ottoman and Byzantine history, their music is striking in its use of diaphonic singing and distinctive timbre, as well as its modal scales and dissonant harmonies (abundant second, seventh, and ninth intervals).

Though the choir became widely known when the trend-setting English alternative record label 4AD released a pair of anthology albums in 1986 and 1988 with the now famous title Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares, their recordings date as far back as 1957. The first pressing of the Voix Bulgares album was the result of fifteen years of work by Swiss ethnomusicologist and producer Marcel Cellier and was originally released in 1975 on his small Discs Cellier label. Ivo Watts-Russell (founder of 4AD) was introduced to the choir from a third or fourth generation audio cassette lent to him by Peter Murphy, singer from the band Bauhaus. He became thoroughly entranced by the music, and tracked down and licensed the recordings from Cellier. The group has since performed extensively around the world to wide acclaim and were honored with a Grammy Award in 1989 for their second album.

Three prominent soloists of the group have also performed together as the Trio Bulgarka, notably on the Kate Bush albums The Sensual World and The Red Shoes.

In 1992, the choir divided into two: one for radio, one for television. Bulgarian television signed a contract with the one half, which is the Bulgarian State Television Female Vocal Choir; the other half organised itself as a collective, and now performs as The Bulgarian Voices ANGELITE.

This is soooo beautiful, just magical...it reminds of music that I imagine I would hear in the middle of the earth...breathtaking...and technically speaking, God damn, what harmonising!

[mmysticus]

It is great to find these tracks on youtube! Amazing! I love them!

[Suzana1773]

If anybody knows the lyrics (in original language) to this wonderful song, please, share with us. This song leaves me completely speechless...

[mouldybear]

These singers have a lot teach us about open singing. They open and thrill me. A beautiful song with tragic lyrics from a great vocal tradition.

Отлично!!!

@michaelvoland54 I think it must be the piercing vocal-timbre that these wonderful vocalists use which practically (literally) pierces the heart when one listens to this music. I also like some of the more 'rustic' styles of serbian, bulgarian, balkan, georgian, and slavic village singing-- all of this music possesses an unimpeachable authenticity which is impossible to counterfeit or fake as it obviously comes straight from the heart(s) of the singers.

@nadkence

Congratulation, your (in numbers) little people has got the greatest music on Earth !

Though your objections in brackets are charming and wise, I think you can nevertheless be proud - at least a bit. If you are a part of this tradition, promote it and pass it on, you should feel some wise pride, just a little, modest bit ... Mike from Berlin

@auteuricon

Hello, brother in spirit ! I am German, but feel exactly the same. Cannot put it better. It's the greatest music in the world. From a small people of 8 mio inhabitants, or so. I stay breathless, again & again.

My genesis is a bit different from yours. For more than 30 y my god was Bach. Told everybody who wanted to listen to (& didn't want to):"Imagine a pair of scales. One bowl is Bach, the other the remaining good music, classical, folk, chanson, Jazz..." But in the 90s heard...
