„Акустичното гърне“: звукообразите на Васил Казанджиев през метафорите на Йордан Радичков
“Acoustic Pot”: Vasil Kazandjiev’s Sound Patterns through Jordan Radichkov’s Metaphors

Summary/Abstract: Kazandjiev and Radichkov are both untranslatable authors: the former because of the nature of the art of music, a total absence of programme in his personal manner and sonorous uniqueness in his opuses from sound element to drama; and the latter due to his creative imagination, unparalleled strange allegories, archaic and exotic language, favoured metaphors, the mystery of his silver-tongued enchanting stories. Both are delicate and tender authors, foreign to any aggressive, ugly tones in their devices, close to the so-called “quiet” protest, soft-pedalled rebelliousness, moral and ideological latency and immersing into their specific allusiveness. Both of them have a funny bone, flair for subtle irony. Their artistry, linguistic inventiveness and uniqueness, their common zeal for following the directions of the time, their flair for parodic details are compared. Kazandjiev is the sole Bulgarian composer, whose music is particularly colouristic, with pronounced unique imagination for tones, discernibly sonorous. It sounds Nature, paganism and Christianity, Bulgarian mentality. Very much like Jordan Radichkov’s word. Kazandjiev’s music is like Radichkov’s “acoustic pot”, resounding with the music of his various opuses.
