VOICESANGELITE, HUUN-HUUR-TU, SERGEJ STAROSTIN was released in 1996, the complete MOSCOW ART TRIO directed by Mikhail Alperin joined the project. The main plot of this unique project with 28 artists is to cross the borders of traditional and contemparary music. ´It is the strangeness that puts you in the ban, it is the strangeness of the voices, the sounds, the message. You don´t know the meaning of the words, but you listened and will be fascinated. ´ (Die Zeit 16.8.1996)


MISHA ALPERIN "There is something mystical about the number "3". That is probably why there are so many trios in the world of music. When I first produced the MOSCOW ART TRIO in 1990 I was thinking about 3 different roles in the ensemble as in theatre. Each member has his own world of expression but in the end everything comes together like a musical organism with spirit, body and mind. To make it even stronger I chose a concept with 3 musicians of 3 different backgrounds: classical, folk and jazz.

Almost the same idea of the magical number "3" applies with the Tuvan-Bulgarian-Russian project. Each culture has its own rich musical tradition: strong emotions and the spiritual beauty of the songs made me dream of combining them without any modernizations.

Then this became a Norwegian-Russian folk rap, an extra tune which we perform with a folk text and Nordic intonations sung by Bulgarians and Russians together.

Drugie już spotkanie najciekawszych wokalnych tradycji euroazjatyckich. Angelite, najsłynniejszy w tej chwili spośród słynnych bułgarskich chórów, kolaboruje z alikwotowymi śpiewakami z Tuwy. Ich pierwsza, genialna płyta "Fly, Fly My Sadness" miała charakter niemal eksperymentalny. Tutaj dominują tradycyjne ludowe pieśni, ale w słuchaniu nabierają iście bajkowego charakteru. Strzeliste, jasne anielskie harmonie Bułgarek i gardłowy, piekielnie niski warkot Mongołów kreują jakość niczym z mistycznego rytuału. Tego trzeba posłuchać!
