Bulgaria’s songs! Aren’t they a real flame from the everlasting soul of our nation? Aren’t they the magic that has preserved Bulgaria over the centuries? My life is like a folk song. In the magic of this folk song is my desire to sing expressively and tenderly. In it are the roots of my pride in being Bulgarian.
Tatiana Sarbinska performs with a brilliant style, with a rich vocal technique, a wide vocal range, and a lively artistic presence.
Sarbinska held the audience in the palm of her hand. Presenting tunes that range from plaintive to playful, she gave each song its due, alternately heartbreaking and coquettish. Her voice, which ranges from smoky lows to shimmering highs, is impressive, and her command of the vocal ornamentation which is so quintessentially Bulgarian is expert.
