1 "10th anniversary concert 2000",
2 "Passion soaring all the way to Heaven"
"..The
“Martenitsa” CD ...
celebrates
the peerless beauty of the human voice. Anyone who has fallen under the spell of
Trio Bulgarka or La Mystere des Voix Bulgares will find this record as exciting
and uplifting as the originals. Mara Kiek has created one of this country's
truly great a capella ensembles.”

"...to
see (the Martenitsa Choir)... singing the Eastern influenced harmonies was like
being confronted with a chorus of angels..." Lyndon
Barber Sydney Morning Herald 1992
“…(Martenitsa)
achieves a curious and irresistible blend of dark harmony…like a storm wind at
night, and a girlish candy tone across arched tongues…” “Sezoni”
Sydney Morning Herald (Aust) 1997
