Collection: Chamber Music Subcollection: Chamber Ensemble The second release of this series presents once again some of the masterpieces of great musicians. Most of the works have been arranged by Jules Levy, a composer and conductor. The release also attracts the listener's attention with the Bulgarian performers taking part in the recording. All the compositions are interpreted in an original manner by stressing on their specific features in terms of melody and structure. A musician of thorough musical knowledge, the conductor Jules Levy is to be credited for this successful interpretation, characterized by a feeling of tranquility and lyricism, and giving aesthetic pleasure and relaxation to the listener. |

Collection: Vocal Collection Subcollection: Vocal and Piano The famous Bulgarian composer Jules Levy has adapted for voice and piano several Sephardic songs (the songs of the Jews who lived in Spain and Portugal). Banished from there in the 15th century they settled in different parts of Eastern Europe, in particular in Bulgaria. Jules Levy, a Sephardic Jew himself, has transformed skillfully the melodies, lyrical and dancing in character, into wonderful musical creations. These are songs of love, youth, beauty, songs which have been carried from generation to generation through the centuries.
The programme includes nineteen songs, performed in Ladino. Each of them is memorable because of the lovely interpretation of the two performers, and the taste and mastership with which they recreate the character and the moods that are mostly amorous-nostalgic but also lively and vivacious. This CD documents part of an original folk legacy.
