CD "The Sound of Europe II"
At the end of April 2015, the CD containing choral national music from 7 countries was released. On the CD there are recordings from Armenia, Bulgaria, Georgia, Moldova, Poland, Ukraine and HungarySongs contributed by choirs are characteristic for each country. Participating choirs, exept geographical variety, represent also different age groups: starting from famous "Little Singers of Armenia" children choir, to very adult "Tryl" from Toszek, Poland. According to the voice type, we have mixed choirs as well as 80 people boys folk choir "Mdzlevari" from Georgia and small, but beautiful women's vocal ensemble "Geghard" from Geghard Monastery in Armenia. The majority of performing choirs are amateurs, the exception to the rule is Bortniansky Choir from Ukraine.
International team of this CD,'d performers should be enlarged with the author of the picture used on the front of the booklet: her name is Anna Savielieva and sh'e a 15-year old student of Olimpiada Spatari, who runs the School of Art and Graphic in Chisinau, Moldova. And mastering was made by Gabriela Blacha from an excellent Studio B1 from Gliwice.
The CD was issued by Chórtownia foundation, with financial help of the Sponsor, HTM Sp z o.o. from Gliwice, who is the importer of Japanese CNC machines OKUMA. As seen on this example, the distance between the technology and human's voice is not that far...
