Petar Ralchev
Petar Ralchev - accordion (Gega New)
$15.99
The Bulgarian accordionist is equally at home with folk , jazz and classical music. Here he presents solo works from the folk traditions of Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania and France. Acompanied by Stoyan Yanklov (percussions), Nikolaj Georgiev (guitar and tamboura) and Dimitar Digboyushki (keybords), he explores a variety of sounds on the instrument and a wide variety of musical styles, all with roots in Bulgarian soil, but branching out far and wide. Ralchev's playing can be fiery and fierce, or complex and dynamic; he's a master craftsman with a broad creative pallette.
You should also hear his work with Zig Zag Trio.

The record label says:
Gega New presents the accordionist Petar Ralchev, a remarkable virtuoso not only in the sphere of folk but also of classical music. While still a student he was awarded the first prize at the Young Musicians Competition in Chirpan and later on received the special award at the International Competition in Klingental, Germany. Together with the violinist Georgi Yanev he founded the Orpheus Orchestra. He takes part in various orchestras and projects performing with almost all leading folk and jazz musicians (Ivo Papasov, Delcho Mitov, Stoyan Yankulov, among others). Audiences throughout Europe and North America have admired Mr. Ralchev's performing and he was included in the History of Accordion, published in France in 1991 by Francois Billard and Didier Roussin.
So far Petar Ralchev has released 9 albums, both solo and in co-work with other prominent musicians. The new CD (his 10th in number) includes brilliant renditions of folk music from Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania and France.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
