The prominent accordion-player Petar Ralchev demonstrates his mastery of performance in this program of Bulgarian, Romanian, French and Serbian pieces and improvisations for accordion.
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 Papazov, 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
