Spanish and Macedonian music
on: August 30, 2024, 08:21:29 PM
Hello, friends and colleagues!

I wanted to share my latest recordings with you from a live concert on the occasion of 30 years of diplomatic relations between my country Macedonia and Spain. We have decided to do a concert in two parts - solo piano recital and then piano and chamber orchestra performing works from Macedonian and Spanish composers.

One of the special moments was the premiere performance of Diana I. Ilkoska's arrangement for piano and chamber orchestra of "Rapsodia Española" by Isaac Albeniz, but I hope you'll find the other recordings enjoyable too.

Featured performers:
- Dino Imeri, piano
- Diana I. Ilkoska, conductor
- ID Chamber Orchestra
- Bojan Ilkoski, violin (guest)

Looking forward to hearing your impressions, here's the link to the playlist:
