"ENCHANTED RHYTHMS" is a unique collection of highly accessible music for solo cello, written specifically for a Bulgarian cellist by a Bulgarian composer and based upon Bulgarian folk tunes and rhythms. The works are infused with all the qualities that make Bulgarian music a form unto itself. Composer Roumi Petrova and cellist Kalin Ivanov, with support from pianist Elena Antimova, create an evocative world of dances and lullabies in which the very musical soul of Bulgaria is conjured. The long-standing friendship of Petrova and Ivanov no doubt adds to genuine feeling of the musicmaking. Unusual and spirited rhythms, coupled with interesting harmony and very catchy tunes, make for a compelling and satisfying listening experience.
