Collection: Organ Collection Subcollection: OrganFor two decades now organist Velin Iliev has established and developed the organ art in Bulgaria. A magnificent interpreter of old and contemporary music, in his CD he presents several different organ schools and styles, starting with Clerambault's Suite du deuxieme ton, through Bach, Cesar Franck (19th c.), to Lionel Rogg, Professor at the Geneva Conservatoire, author of instrumental and choral music. Velin Iliev made the recordings in Sofia, Varna and Dobrich, where the famous German Schuke Orgelbau Factory built organs. Thus the 1970 saw the revival of interest towards the organ, an instrument which is not so characteristic of the Eastern Slavs and the East Orthodox religion.

Subcollection: ViolinThere are very few works for violin and guitar and part of them, unfortunately, have already been forgotten. That is why the musicians who are attracted by the interesting combination of the two stringed instruments, do not have another choice but to perform mostly transcriptions of works for violin and piano. This is the approach of the violinist Jochen Brusch and the guitarist Finn Svit. |
