Musicologist

 "Bonner General Anzeiger", Bonn:

"The orchestra from the second largest Bulgarian city should be put side by side with the elite orchestras in Europe. This team of prominent musicians performed an excellent concert. The complete homogeneity of the ensemble as well as of the instrumental groups; the saturated sound and elegant softness have powerful impact."


"La depeche", Paris:
"With its program the Plovdiv philharmonic orchestra showed its best side: versatile phrasing, depth of sound, perfect unison and breathtaking string group. The marvelous performance provoked shouts of approval and applause from the audience."

"Rheinpfalz", Neustadt:
"It is not a frequent event to listen to an orchestra which creates music with such powerful presence as the Bulgarians did it. They created a homogenous whole of almost grand joy in the performance of all instrumental groups, technically perfect, enchanting."

"L`Unita", Aquila:
"The opening of the year of Brahms by the Plovdiv philharmonic orchestra was a huge cultural event for Aquila. The parts of the Brahms works were performed with precision, worthy of admiration through the orchestration which was perfect to the smallest detail in every instrument group beginning with the bold waldhornes, to the powerful wormth of the cellos and the other string instruments, all united to create a sensual, thick Brahms sound. The solos of the wind instruments, so important in Brahms work, were performed with brilliance."

"Kultura", Moscow:

"The Plovdiv orchestra is extremely well working team, able to complete the most difficult tasks. It is attractive not only with its homogeneity and thickness of timbre but its expressiveness as well."

"Handelsblat", Berlin:
"A spectacle of fine choirs, singers with powerful voices, marvelous celebration of slavianic voices."

"Berlingske Tigdende", Copenhagen:
"Carmina Burana" and the triumph scene of "Aida" - one can not imagine more rich and breath taking program. This music made the infamous hall of Tivoli to erupt. I am not surprised that it received the biggest applause of this summer. The music deserved it  as well as the brilliant Opera of Plovdiv."

"L`Unita", Italy:
"The Plovdiv "Aida" heated Le Roncole - the birthplace of Verdi. The Plovdiv opera performed a spectacle full of respect towards the author and deserving our admiration."

"Liberta", Italy:
"Unforgettable "Il Trovattore", performed by the Plovdiv opera in front of the house where Verdi was born."

"Cultur", Spain:
"The ensemble put on stage its best spectacle - marvelous costumes, decors and exceptional choir, orchestra performing the heartwarming music, a conductor (Borislav Ivanov), who proved once again his read on Verdi\'s music and Breathtaking soloists. I believe that the Plovdiv opera will bring back home the respect, admiration and love of all opera admirers."

"ABS", Spain:
"We saw on the Seville stage the charming and nice "Madama Butterfly" thanks to the good work, professionalism and interpretation of the Plovdiv opera."

"Musik", Denmark:
"The Plovdiv opera is amongst the best ensembles in Europe, so next time intead of heading to Arena di Verona, you could visit the magical open air stage of the Ancient theatre in Plovdiv."
