In 1999 Gega New released an album with works by young Bulgarian composers (GD 253). It included Two Bagatelles for Piano, Clarinet and Percussions by Yassen Vodenitcharov. Even then he demonstrated his affinity for originally chosen instruments.
The pieces in the present CD of the composer are written for various instruments and voice combinations: soprano-saxophone, violin, clarinet and piano, flute orchestra, or mezzo-soprano with string, harp, piano (celesta) and percussion. The solo works are for harpsichord and soprano-saxophone. The selection of instruments renders a specific sound colour to the works and emphasizes the author's conception. The pieces are performed by renowned musicians from France, the USA, Canada and Bulgaria.
Yassen Vodenitcharov was born in Burgas, Bulgaria, in 1964. He is a graduate of the Prof. Pancho Vladigerov National Academy of Music in Sofia and Paris National Conservatory (Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris). His teachers were Prof. Dimitar Tapkoff and Paul Méfano. Doctor of music, he is also a graduate of the IRCAM Institute in Paris, where he studied Music and Musicology of the 20th Century. He lives in Paris, but his works have been performed all over Europe, as well as in the USA, Canada, Japan and South America. He is the recipient of numerous awards, the Grand Prix at the 10th Tokyo Contemporary Music Composition Competition. He is also laureate of the Beaumarchais Competition for his chamber opera “The Talking Tree”, which was performed in the Studio Theatre of Comédie-Française in 2000 in Paris. In 2005 he received First Price of the jury and the audience at the Bruno Maderna Competition in Wuerzburg (Geramany).
