Presse review “VIARA” :
“After Staro Vrémié in 2001 and Essence de rose in 2004, trombone player Gueorgui Kornazov signs a new stage in his career as a leader with a sublime album entitled Viara,
which means “hope”, “faith” in Bulgarian.” http://www.qobuz.com/
“A new album by the famous Bulgarian trombone player Gueorgui Kornazov
… He handles here the sense of composition and flamboyant orchestration with … dynamics!
Starting from very beautiful and rather simple melodies, Kornazov delineates a musical area and develops something different which ranges from the register of naked and sensitive emotion to the bright weaving of brass instruments which echo each other or unite in underlying very crude groove.”
Jean-Marc Gelin, Les dernières nouvelles du jazz
“The music in Viara is that type of jazz music intelligently arranged, the kind of music you want to hear and which you listen to again with pleasure. The melodies, which are composed in counterpoint style alternating with unison parts, stay in the memory of listeners. Kornazov’s music covers the whole range of possible atmospheres, from dreamy beauty to wild tempest.”
Concerto n°6
“Georgui Kornazov invents his own style in that beautiful lineage thanks to an elegant way of composing and arranging. In this album, he has carefully matched the textures of the trombone, soprano sax and guitar in a well balanced way.“
Yann Mens, La Croix
Cosmopolitan
“Stirring music, fusion of all European cultures, starting of course with the Eastern one, in the caukdron of jazz which remains a reference. Viara is an attractive achievement, one of these recordings that will stay in our hearts.”
Nicolas Benies, Rouge, a weekly radical magazine.
“His new CD entitled Viara is the most personal opus of this jazz musician. Throughout it is displayed not only soundness of tone and colour but also of profoundness. Avoiding too much brilliance, the musician through his compositions and orchestrations, mostly creates flexible figures. One might criticize the set for a lack of fluidity but this unevenness is due to the diverse states of mind that initiated the nine pieces that make up this set. Nevertheless, through rippling waves of strange sonorous light, spring up pungent effects by an artist who knows how to weave his jazz and organize it in a modest as well as impertinent way. This CD belongs to an intimist, nostalgic and loving genre. The brass instruments never interfere with the Slavonic and Balkan exhalations, on the contrary: everything comes up in light yet never sloppy strokes, which proves – if necessary – that Gueorgui Kornazov is an accomplished, precise and meticulous musician , yet never precious. To charm he prefers magic, and it works.”
Jean-Paul Gavard, Les Immortels
“With this recording, Gueorgui Kornazov offers a kind of jazz music which is both modern and very personal.
What is inherited from Central Europe really shows for the greatest of our pleasure; which is a very swaying and emotional component.
Gueorgui Kornazov affirms a serene atmosphere , which is never devoid of tension, just as a wave will always break. Alternating very relaxed musical atmosphere bordering nostalgia with long relentless rhythmical passages, he continuously attracts the listeners. It really is a delectable album.
The quality of the sound is very good. It is both fluid and limpid. It materializes a melodic part that is both tense and incredibly communicative. The brass parts are both sparkling and incredibly diverse. And what you hear is very transparent, without anything ethereal or sterile. The ever present substance and swing will be appreciated. Something you must hail and an artist to be discovered urgently !”
Laurent Thorin, Haute Fidélité
