The Bulgarian Voices Angelite includes: Valentin Velkov (conductor); Tzetza Bekova, Ekaterina Bogdanova, Tatiana Douparinova, Tonia Iankova, Nadejda Illieva, Kostadinka Inkova, Sonia Iovkova, Nadejda Karporova, Kratina Krasteva, Youlia Peneva, Nekla Petkova, Kostadinka Ratzova (vocals).
A highly ambitious and chance-taking project, Mountain Tale unites the Bulgarian Voices (a 24-member vocal choir from Bulgaria) with the Moscow Art Trio and the Tuvan ensemble Huun-Huur-Tu. The songs, which include "Sad Harvest" and "Dancing Voices," are traditional, but what the participants do with them is quite experimental. Elements of Bulgarian folk are combined with Russian and Tuvan folk as well as European classical music; occasionally, traces of jazz and Scandinavian folk can also be heard. The vocal harmonies that the Bulgarian Voices provide are simply amazing; one shouldn't even think about doing this type of singing unless he/she has serious chops -- members of the Voices obviously do. Mountain Tale is highly recommended to those who are seeking something fresh and adventurous from world music. ~ Alex Henderson

Purchase Mountain Tale CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Retrospective: Best Of Buffalo Springfield CD (1969)
Mountain Tale album
 $7.95    
Buffalo Springfield's brief lifespan (essentially 1966-1968) was rich with promise but fraught with creative tensions. This friction ultimately fractured the band's core foundation of Stephen Stills and Neil Young. However, those same tensions--along with the formidable talents of Richie Furay and Jim Messina (replacing original bass player Bruce Palmer but assuming a broader production role)--created some truly enduring music.
With only three albums from which to draw, RETROSPECTIVE ...
| | Hamza El Din Nubia: Escalay (The Water Wheel): Oud Music CD (1971)
Mountain Tale CD music
$9.79
This album was originally titled ESCALAY (THE WATER WHEEL): OUD MUSIC FROM NUBIA.
Recorded in Nubia. Originally released on Nonesuch (72041). Includes liner notes by Hamza El Din and Robert Garfias.
An album of Northern African music played on the oud (a fretless, long-necked string instrument that's the predecessor of the European lute, common in North African and Middle Eastern music), 1971's Escalay: The Water Wheel is not only the most popular album by the Nubian-born soloist Hamza El Din, it's arguably the best-known album of traditional Egyptian folk music in the west, thanks to its position as one of the early releases in the hugely popular Nonesuch Explorer series. Side one, a remarkable 21-and-a-half-minute composition, is a tone poem built on one subtly pulsing drone that rises and falls continually, creating hypnotic layers of harmonics occasionally broken by El Din's wordless calls. Some American minimalist composers, particularly Steve Reich, have claimed a strong influence in their own music from traditional North African styles; for a listener ...
| | Raga Guide: A Survey Of 74 Hindustani Ragas. CDs (1999)
Mountain Tale music CDs
$32.79 
Performers include Shruti Sadolikar-Katkar, Vidyadhar Vyas (vocals); Anant Krishnaji Kunte (sarangi); Hariprasad Chaurasia (flute); Buddhadev DasGupta (sarod); Sandip Bhattacharya, Devendra Kanti Chakrabarty, Ted De Jong, Madhukar Kothare, Shib Shankar Ray (tabla).
In music-speak, ragas are essentially scalar melody forms -- something like scales or melodic modes in Western music. However, North Indian ragas do differ from Western modes and scales in several important ways: ragas often take on different ascending and descending forms, act as melodic armatures for vocal and/or instrumental improvisation, are frequently believed to have divine origins and characteristics, and are commonly associated with a certain season or time of the ...
| | Iran: Persian Classical Music CD (1991)
Mountain Tale songs
$9.55
From the old Nonesuch Explorer series comes this album of classical Persian music, originally released in 1974 and re-released on CD in 1991. The album contains a number of nice virtuoso performances on the various instruments of the Persian classical repertoire. The ensemble leader Faramarz Payvar provides some outstanding work on the santur in most of the dastgah performances. Also, the zarb player Mohammad Esmai'li performs an amazing solo on his drum, nearly incorporating melody into the work with a single percussion instrument. The tar playing also stands out exceptionally in "Dastgah Chahargah," as Houshang Zarif pumps out an outstanding run on his lute. ...
