Customer Reviews: ((Macedonian: "Тале Огненовски, кој твори повеќе од 60 години, и е добро познат на македонската и на светската јавност по својата виртуозност, во декември минатата година го издаде својот прв албум, насловен како "Џез, македонски ора и класична музика". Албумот е снимен во студиото "Промузика Тра-ла-ла" во Скопје, а го издава дискографската куќа "Индипендент рекордс" од САД… Овој албум, на кој 80-годишниот Огненовски е солист на кларинет, кавалче, гајда и зурла, многу ќе придонесе за афирмација на македонскиот фолклор низ светот. Како придружба во дел од песните настапуваат членовите на неговиот оркестар: неговиот син Стеван Огненовски, на тапан, и внуците Никола и Климент, на кавалче. На албумот се наоѓаат 3 џез-композиции, 6 македонски народни ора - Брусничко, Невенино, Буково свадбарско, Талево касапско, Стевчево и Шарско оро - и една класична композиција - "Тале Огненовски, Концерт за кларинет бр.1". Автор на сите мелодии и ора е самиот Огненовски. Композициите изобилуваат со темпераментен ритам и силен звук и го претставуваат кларинетот како инструмент што има можност за силен солистички опсег. Тале Огненовски спаѓа во редот на најголемите инструменталисти и композитори во светот. Тој ги поврзал ориенталната и западната музика и компонирал повеќе од 150 македонски народни ора. Некои од неговите композиции се снимени на 11 лонг-плеј плочи и касети. Настапувал во Швајцарија, Франција, Шведска, Финска, Англија, Данска и во многу други земји. Секаде каде што свирел оставал силен впечаток со својата виртуозност, брзина во свирењето и неверојатните аранжмани. Со „Македонскиот национален ансамбл за народни игри и песни "Танец““ во 1956 година настапил во познатата сала "Карнеџи хол" во Њујорк. По настапите, весниците секогаш биле полни со позитивни критики за неговата изведба. Овој албум е само потврда дека Тале е најголемиот кларинетист на сите времиња во светот, кој во многу области на музиката демонстрира недостижна техника, силна инвентивност, запрепастувачка импровизациска виртуозност и нагласена музичка компонентност…"- Напис под наслов: "НОВ АЛБУМ НА ТАЛЕ ОГНЕНОВСКИ Микс од македонски народни ора и светски џез од стариот мајстор Во минатиот месец излезе најновиот албум на познатиот македонски инструменталист Тале Огненовски, во издание на американската дискографска куќа "Индипендент рекордс"", Напишано од Соња Стоилковска, весник “Дневник“, 31 јануари, 202 година, Скопје, Република Македонија). https://web.archive.org/web/20130802055057/http://star.dnevnik.com.mk/default.aspx?pbroj=1764&stID=9898 "The

Erika Borsos: "Outstanding Musical Interpretation - This reviewer is familiar with the three B's of classical music: Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms and can distinguish their styles, one can *now* add a fourth "B" which stands for "Balkan" as played by Tale Ognenovski. Mr. Ognenovski plays Mozart with his own inimitable personal style making the classical music take on mysterious and exotic characteristics and overtones. His virtuosity possesses special qualities related to the Balkan clarinet… Ognenovski explodes with passion as he performs his own "Tale Ognenovski Concerto for Clarinet No. 1" ... The labyrinthine musical pathways he creates are enormously pleasing to the listener. The pentatonic scale and odd metered rhythms of Macedonia awaken the listener to new vistas of musical excitement and enjoyment. Anyone who loves jazz improvisation and the sounds of the clarinet will immediately recognize the superior creativity, breath control and complete mastery of this instrument as played by Mr. Ognenovski…” Amazon.com reviewer: Exquisite, you must buy it, April 14, 2011. Michele Zukovsky, 1st Carinet Los Angeles Philharmonic: “Exquisite, you must buy it - After hearing this great artist, I was absolutely dumbfounded.. His delicate and nuanced Mozart was so inspiring that I fell into a reverie---it was a moment of bliss .. No other clarinetist can touch him. After having bought the cd, you will not be able to listen to anything else!! …bravo mr. Ognenovski, for inspiring the world of clarinetists… ” Amazon.com reviewer: A New Standard has Been Set, April 14, 2011. Julia Heinen, Professor of Clarinet, California State University, Northridge: “A New Standard has Been Set - Based on the recommendation of the wonderful clarinetist, Michele Z. I have to tell you that this is now my most favorite recording of the Mozart Concerto. I can only hope all clarinetists near and far will learn from this unique interpretation. Bravo Mr.Ognenovski, you've set a new standard.” Amazon.com reviewer: Unique Genius, April 16, 2011. David Gilman, orchestral & solo clarinetist, Lake Forest, CA, USA: “Unique Genius - I must concur with my colleague, Michele Z., for her astute observations regarding Mr. Ognenovski's artistry. His subtle phrasing and amazing tone leave one breathless. Words cannot adequately describe the impression his recordings make. One must experience them to believe it. I can still hardly believe it myself.” “After
listening to the CD: "MOZART
and OGNENOVSKI Clarinet Concertos"
for few days, I have come to a
conclusion that this is the best clarinet concertos in the
world… no
one can play the clarinet with such perfection, clean tone, variations,
curves
and improvisation (without losing the original piece or composition),
like
musical Genius Maestro Tale Ognenovski can…” New

Tour
of Germany -
Tale
Ognenovski, clarinet and reed pipe (“kavalche”) virtuoso soloist with "Macedonian
National Ensemble for Folk
"Macedonian National Ensemble for Folk Dances and Songs "Tanec" during their tour of Switzerland during the period July 7-10, 1959. The concerts were performed in Berne on July 7 and 8, 1959 and in Geneva on July 9 and 10, 1959 with tremendous success. Tale Ognenovski made his debut on a special programme broadcast on Swiss Television. Playing as virtouoso clarinet soloist, he performed his personally composed Macedonian folk dances ‘Bitolsko oro’ and ‘Brusnichko oro’ with great success. “...We were presented with remarkable spectacles performed by the Yugoslavian National Folk Ballet ‘Tanec’ from Macedonia... It was a rare opportunity to have a show in the open-air in Geneva. For this occasion, Gitan installed lighting effects that vied with ingenuity... Nothing here that resembled classical dances of our Western World... They have the rhythm of the dances of their country in their blood....
Tale Ognenovski was clarinet and reed pipe (“kavalche”) virtuoso soloist with "Macedonian National Ensemble for Folk Dances and Songs "Tanec"" during their tour of France from September 20 until November 25, 1959. They performed 83 concerts in 58 towns and cities in France. 20 million people would have seen them on the most popular programme on French Television. Radio Paris recorded a 45-minute programme of Macedonian folk dances and songs. The Manager of Ensemble ‘Tanec’s tour of France was Mr Raymond Guillier, also Director of his own compa-ny ‘Les grands spectacles internationaux Les productions Raymond Guillier’. “What ensemble ‘Tanec’ is playing in the spirit of Macedonia, believe me no other Ensemble in the world can perform. All great professional Ensembles in the world possess something special. Your girls and boys put their whole heart into the dance and example of this is clarinetist Tale Ognenovski…” - The above appeared in an article entitled ‘Your dance fascinates me’ (Macedonian: ”Вашата игра ме фасцинира”)….’, written by M. Georgievski, and published in the newspaper ‘Vecher’, Skopje, Republic of Macedonia on September 14, 1964. “Everyone
in the audience applauded as if they were four people, and the Macedonian
National Ballet left a great impression in Bourges…Two dances in
particular
were appreciated last night on the stage of the Grand Palais, the Dance
of the
sabre and the Dance of the village fair (two separate photos are shown,
the top
one being ‘the dance of the sabre’ and the bottom being ‘the dance of
village
fair).’ (On the right side of the bottom photograph can be seen
virtuoso
clarinet soloist Tale Ognenovski - remark made by Stevan Ognenovski).
But the
Macedonian dances, once they began, developed from a dead slow pace and
quickened, becoming a festival of colours, a storm of costumes and a
sports
test allied to the art of folklore. It must be understood that you have
to be
professional and have extraordinary soul and inspiration to play
‘Drachevka’
(In this Macedonian folk dance, the virtuoso reed pipe soloist was Tale
Ognenovski - remark made by Stevan Ognenovski), ‘Berovka’ (In this
Macedonian
folk dance, the virtuoso clarinet soloist was Tale Ognenovski - remark
made by
Stevan Ognenovski) and the exciting Serbian folk dance (the virtuoso
reed pipe
soloist was Tale Ognenovski - remark made by Stevan Ognenovski). The
audience
much liked the dance ‘Roussalies’ as well as the dance ‘Tchifte
Tchamtche’ (In
this Macedonian folk dance, the virtuoso clarinet soloist was Tale
Ognenovski -
remark made by Stevan Ognenovski), and lastly ‘Chote’ (‘Shote’-In this
Albanian
folk dance, the virtuoso clarinet soloist was Tale Ognenovski - remark
made by
Stevan Ognenovski), a dance of love that is lively and colourful...
Tanec is
the name of this group who have won over the audience. The quality and
talent
of this group is admirable...This is the first time that they have
performed in
France... At the end of their concert, the members of Ensemble ‘Tanec’
remained
on stage and were applauded by the Bourges audiences for more than a
quarter of
an hour.” The above comes from an article, entitled “Hier soir au
GRAND-PALAIS
BRILLANTE “PREMIERE” des Ballets de Macedoine” (“Yesterday evening in
GRAND-PALAIS Brilliant first performance of National Ballet of
Macedonia.”),
that appeared in the newspaper ‘Le Berry Republicain’ in Bourges,
France, on
September 24, 1959.
“The first
performance of the National Ballet of Macedonia was a tremendous
success.
Everyone in the hall applauded with enthusiasm, here in the ‘Grand
Palais’ in
Bourges at the first perfor-mance in France of the National Ballet of
Macedonia… The first performance in Bourges was a spectacle...The
members of
the National Ballet of Macedonia arrived four days ago in Paris and
have been

Tale Ognenovski performed
as virtuoso clarinet and reed pipe soloist with Macedonian National
Ensemble
for Folk As a clarinet soloist with
Radio Television Skopje’s (now: Macedonian
Radio Television) Folk Music Orchestra, he played Macedonian folk
dances
that were broadcast on television by “Radio Television Zagreb” (now: Croatian
Radiotelevision), Zagreb, Croatia. (1966) “Tale Ognenovski appeared as a special guest clarinet soloist at the concert marking the 60th anniversary of the founding of “Radio Belgrade” (1929–1989) held in the “House of the Syndicate” in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, 1989. He played as clarinet soloist two Macedonian folk dances, both of which he composed: Bitolsko svadbarsko oro, and Brusnichko oro. He had as accompaniment the Folk Music Orchestra of “Radio Television Belgrade” (now: Radio Television of Serbia). This concert was broadcast live on “Radio Belgrade”. (Source: the book entitled: “Tale Ognenovski Virtuoso of the Clarinetand Composer / Тале Огненовски виртуоз на кларинет и композитор (2000)”, written by Stevan Ognenovski, Mag. Scient. (Languages: In English and Macedonian), Skopje, Republic of Macedonia: Publisher: Matica Makedonska. ISBN 9989-48-312-4; 406 pages (format A4); pp. 32-33). During the 1960s Tale Ognenovski played as clarinet soloist in many Macedonian folk dances and songs in numerous theatrical performances at the Macedonian National Theatre. Press releases “Maestro Tale Ognenovski plays classical music brilliantly (this is the opinion of experts of classical music) on the clarinet - Mozart, Weber...etc. He plays everything; it doesn’t matter how difficult or complicated it is. In the records it says of his debut, first with the pianist Nino Cipushev, and later with the famous pianist Ladislav Palfi, that the way Tale Ognenovski plays the most complicated classic music is on a par with that of the most famous clarinetists in the world. Experts of classical music have said that Tale Ognenovski’s skill with the clarinet is nowhere near that of the most famous classical music clarinetist in the world. On the contrary.” Journalist Violeta Hadzi Skerleva wrote this in her article “ Skopje. First Clarinetist of ’94 Tale Ognenovski, a portrait” published in the magazine “Ekran”, Skopje, Republic of Macedonia, October 20, 1994. http://www.taleognenovski.mk/titles.html Feedback Dear Tale and Stevan. My name is Dimce Cvetkovski. I was born on November 7, 1957 (in the village of Arvati near Krani in Prespa). I came to the United States on February 20, 1970. I was 12 years old. But I still remember everything, even though I have not been back to Macedonia since I came to the United States. My father has been back a few times but I haven’t. Maybe one of these days when things are not so busy. Both of my parents Cvetko and Sofija are still alive and have just retired. I have a sister Stefka who is 5 years younger than me. I am 41 years old and have been married for 17 years. My wife’s name is Gerrie (Geraldine) who is American. I also have 3 sons Steven (14 years old), Jeffrey (12 years old and Scott (9 years old)... In March 1, 1993, I opened my own KARATE STUDIO WESTERN NEW YORK KARATE CENTER. This is my own business...I have listened to Tale’s music since I was a little boy in Macedonia. I remember I was very young when I first heard BRUSNICHKO ORO and TALEVO SVADBARSKO ORO. In 1983, my father went to Macedonia for a visit. He brought to me 2 records (8 Macedonian folk dances - ORA). One record has POLJANSKO ORO, NEVENINO ORO etc... The other record has BUKOVSKO SVADBARSKO ORO, RESENSKO ORO, PRILEPSKO etc... In 1986 I went to Canada for a visit and I bought a cassette that has 12 Macedonian folk dances - ORA (CHALGIITE NA TALE OGNENOVSKI, KUKUSHKO ORO, RISTEVO ORO...). Today I have about 60 Macedonian folk dances - ORA from Tale Ognenovski. His music must live forever. Tale’s music touches my HEART and SOUL. Sometimes when I listen to his music there are tears from my eyes running down my face. Nobody in the world can play the clarinet like Tale. I have listened to a lot of clarinet music from many countries but nobody comes close to Tale. He is simply the BEST. When I was a little boy in Macedonia, I also played the reed pipe (“kavalche”) with my grandfather Mitre. My grandfather was a shepherd and I used to help him on the farm. But I have always loved clarinet music. I am 41 year old. Two years ago, I bought a clarinet. I listen by ear and try to play. I do not know how to read music. Maybe one day I will try to take lessons. My middle son Jeffrey takes lessons and plays the clarinet and the saxophone in school. He is in sixth grade. He is very, very good. He is the best in his school on the clarinet and the saxophone. My oldest Steven always listens to Tale’s music. He loves it. I hope someday I can play like Tale, even a little bit. I hope someday I get to meet you and your father Tale. It would be a great honor to shake the hand of the best clarinetist in the world. Maestro Tale is the best. I hope he lives a long, long, long time...All I want is his music to live forever. People need to listen and hear this great clarinetist. With Great greetings With Great Happiness. (January 24, 1999)... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST CLARINETIST IN THE WORLD! (April 10, 1999)... As I drive in my car to and from my business and other places throughout the day, I spend 11/2 hours each day listening to Tale’s music. Tale is my hero. His music is incredible. His approach to every note is so unique. His improvisations and solos are out of this world, and no one can even come close. It is true that when listening to Tale, his music takes you to different worlds and different dimensions. I feel very special and lucky to have friends like you, and being touched so deeply by Tale’s music (December 21, 1999)... Jim (Dimce) Cvetkovski, Buffalo, New York, USA |

He was a member of the Tanec group during the 1950s and lead clarinet of the Radio Skopje calgia. The composer of many tunes that have become standards, he is today the leader of his own group, and a master of the more Westernised style that become prominent in the 1940s and 50s.

Brilliant
Career http://www.taleognenovski.mk/comments.html
“It is
a
phenomenon that Tale Ognenovski for every type of music has the right
amount of
embouchure and vibrato, especially for classic music where some
circumstances
require a totally level tone. It is particularly phenomenal that in a
second he
can change both the colour and the vibrato. The standard is
that one timbre and one kind of vibrato exclude another colour and
another
kind...” – Professor Ladislav Palfi In a
programme with the title ‘Sunday afternoon’ shown on ‘Macedonian
Radio
Television’ on February 28, 1993, the journalist said about Tale
Ognenovski,
“One clarinet, one life; Half a century of magic with the clarinet; The
clarinet as a life;
These are only some of the titles of articles in the newspapers that
have been
written for the clarinet virtuoso Tale Ognenovski who plays Macedonian
folk
dances as superbly as he does classical music by Mozart, Wagner,
Cavallini...
”Besides some Macedonian folk dances, the following pieces of music
were
included on the pro-gramme: Mozart’s
‘Concert
in A Major for Clarinet and
Orchestra K. 622’ and Wagner’s
‘Adagio for Clarinet’, both performed by Tale
Ognenovski as clarinet soloist accompanied on the piano by the
excellent
pianist Tanja Shopova, and Cavallini’s
Concert ‘Fiori Rossiniani’, performed by
Tale Ognenovski as clarinet soloist accompanied on the piano by the
famous
pianist and composer Professor Ladislav Palfi. In the
programme with the title ‘Good morning, good day’ shown on ‘Macedonian
Radio Television’ on December 5, 1993, the journalist Brane
Stefanovski
said of Tale Ognenovski, “The
living
legend of the Macedonian clarinet. Tale
Ognenovski can easily be recognized from older records of ‘Macedonian
Radio
Television’. Tale Ognenovski’s music is amazing, with his melodious,
clean
quality of tone and interpretations for which he has received
recognition from
world-famous experts of the clarinet and of Macedonian music. The
journalist
Elizabeta Matic commented, “Everything that has a connection with the
clarinet
and this man is far from ordinary. Perhaps it is a miracle, this
dexterity;
perhaps he is a genius, or something more than that. Perhaps the reason
for
this is genetic disposition in his family where his father played the
bagpipe
(‘gajdadjija’), but the fact that his grandfather and great-grandfather
had
played some folk instrument suggests that talent has developed over the
generations to raise the little reed pipe (‘kavalche’) player to the
highest
level reserved for the best. His music is always based on the
strict
rules of
Macedonian folklore... Tale Ognenovski is an Ambassador in the
presentation of
the valuable things that Macedonia possesses: Macedonian complex
rhythms...The
best clarinetist that this country has ever had. The man from whom his
followers can learn a great deal...” In this interview, Tale Ognenovski
said
that Macedonian folklore is the best folklore in the World, and that
the
inspiration he received when Tale
Ognenovski translated whatever came into his head directly into the
clarinet. On
June 16, 1998, an interview with Tale Ognenovski was recorded for the
television programme ‘Good Day, Macedonia’ on Macedonian Television. During the
interview,
the journalist Tatjana Stojchevska Manchevska asked Tale Ognenovski to
play
some jazz music. He performed some jazz music that he composed right
there and
then without any prior planning. He demonstrated his amazing musical
talent as
a clarinet and reed pipe player and composer performing jazz music on
this
programme. The music performed by him on the programme can be heard on
his Web
site at the Internet address http://www.taleognenovski.mk
The
television programme ‘Good Day, Macedonia’ was dedicated to Tale
Ognenovski on
the 50th anniversary of the founding of the FOLK MUSIC ORCHESTRA
of Macedonian
Radio Television. An interview with Tale Ognenovski “This
year sees the 50th anniversary of the
founding of the ‘Folk Music Orchestra’ of Macedonian
Radio Television. The most famous clarinetist Tale Ognenovski has
for a
long time performed in this Orchestra,” said Simona Ugrinovska, Manager
of the
programme ‘Good Day Macedonia’. She added that the interview with Tale
Ognenovski had been done by her colleague Tatjana Stojchevska
Manchevska. In the programme, first shown
on July 1, 1998,
then repeated on July 4, 1998, the journalist Tatjana Stojchevska
Manchevska
said: “Fifty years ago, at the first Macedonian
Republic
festival of Folk Dances and Songs held during the period October
6-10,
1948, Tale Ognenovski received the First Award as the best clarinetist.
If you listen to the music of
Tale
Ognenovski,
this magnificent, unique, talented virtuoso of the clarinet and
composer of
Macedonian folk dances, you will imagine an exciting folklore story and
sense
unparalleled technique in the musical expression of this folk genius.
With his
maestro, solo improvisations Tale Ognenovski made performances of "Macedonian National
Ensemble
for Folk Dances and Songs "Tanec"" the most successful they
could be. The most significant debut in his rich career was in the
famous Carnegie
Hall on January 27, 1956. “The artist must adopt the artistic rules
perfectly, to be able to break them afterwards.” This com-ment by
Michelangelo
described the talent that Tale Ognenovski possessed...In a perfect way
he
interpreted Mozart, Wagner and Cavallini, and jazz improvisations in
the style
of Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw. Tale Ognenovski has composed 150
Macedonian
folk dances...” http://www.taleognenovski.mk/comments.html |

“Tanec, a Macedonian
group, is a lively, handsome and magnificently skilled company…
accompanied
sometimes by a shepherd’s
pipe … An audience which jammed Carnegie to capacity cheered and
applauded
the folk
dancing with as much enthusiasm as if it had been witnessing
classical,
theatrical ballet at its most glittering.” The above is from an article
entitled ‘Yugoslav Folk
Ballet,’ written
by Walter Terry, and that appeared in the New York Herald Tribune on
January
28, 1956. New York City, USA. Reed
pipe soloist was Tale
Ognenovski. “These perfect artists
performed many marvelous dances, and the astonished audience greeted
them with
long applause. The
program was filled with folk dances and songs. In the past we have
had some
interesting concerts from the East and West but none of them had been
as
successful and been so well-received by the public as the Yugoslav Folk Ballet ‘Tanec’.
Venerable Carnegie Hall fairly vibrated as the audience blistered its
palms in
appreciation...” wrote Robert Coleman in the New York Daily Mirror, New York City,
USA
on January 28, 1956. |
Tale
Ognenovski received the First Award as the best clarinetist at the
First
Regional Bitola Festival of Folk Dances and Songs, October 9-11, 1947.
Bitola,

Macedonia is the country most rich in folk dances, so rich that there is no other country in Europe equal to Macedonia,” said Olga Skovran from Belgrade, Manager for folklore in the Ministry of Culture in the Republic of Serbia (Former Yugoslavia). This came from an article entitled ‘We must keep our folk songs, dances and folk costumes’, written by Lazo Karovski and appearing in the newspaper ‘Nova Makedonija’, Skopje, Republic of Macedonia on October 11, 1947. http://www.taleognenovski.mk/bitola1947.html |

11th, represented by 8 villages), Slovenia (September 11th, represented
by 5
villages), Macedonia (September 12th, represented by 23 villages) and
Croatia
(September 13th, represented by 19 villages). “Teshkoto (the virtuoso
clarinet
soloist was Tale Ognenovski - remark made by Stevan Ognenovski) from
Nizhopole
(Bitola) means ‘heavy’, and indicates the heavy rhythm which is typical
of very
ancient dances...” This appeared in the ‘International Folk Music
Journal’
under the title ‘Extracts from PROGRAMME NOTES ON THE DANCES AND SONGS
performed at the Yugoslav Folk Music Festival’, with the subtitle
‘MACEDONIA -
represented by 23 villages’, published by The International Folk Music
Council,
London, in March, 1952, Volume IV, pages 60-64. At the Yugoslav (Former
Yugoslaviia) the Folk Music Festival in Opatija, the Folk Dance group
from the
Bitola village of Nizhopole from Cultural - Educational society “Jonche
Georgievski” from the Bitola village of Dihovo in which Tale Ognenovski
was
playing as a clarinet soloist, created a sensation and received First
Award as
the best Folk Dance group at the festival. Tale Ognenovski, with his
masterly
playing solo clarinet, deserved the award together with other members
of the
group. This was a great success because in this Festival participated
85
different folk dance groups from Macedonia, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia,
Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The musical part of the group
had only
two members: Tale Ognenovski played solo clarinet with the
accompaniment of
drummer Lambe Petrovski. This is a musical sensation, to receive the
First
Award with an orchestra consisting of only two members. The dancers and
singers
were Vera Cholakovska, Cveta Petrovska, Sakjime Alimovska, Nada,
Marika, Menan,
Sefer, Mirko, Vangel, and Dimche Talevski. There was a full house at
the concert
hall in the Kvarner hotel in Opatija, and the audience was fascinated
by the
music and the three dances performed by the Ensemble: ‘Za ramo
Teshkoto’,
‘Beranche’ and ‘Vlashko za ramo’ (these folk dances involved singing by
all ten
members of the Ensemble). Tale Ognenovski was arranger of these folk
dances,
and made them more effective with his solo improvisations. Dr. Vinko
Zganec wrote, under the title
“Yugoslav Musical folklore at the Festival in Opatija”, “the clarinet
(the
virtuoso clarinet soloist was Tale Ognenovski -
“Last night this Yugoslav National Folk
Ballet
preluded a transcontinental tour at Carnegie Hall... This is the
freshest,
gayest, most
expert dance affair that has come over the horizon in years. We
have been
afforded many novelties from the Orient and the Occident but none of
them won a
more enthusiastic reception than the Yugoslav National Folk Ballet.”
From an
article written by William Hawkins, and that appeared in the New York
World
Telegram, New York City,
USA on
January 28, 1956. "Called Tanec,
which is the Macedonian
word for dance, this group of 37 dancers, singers
and musicians is a kaleidoscope of the Balkans...When five of them
dance
the "Sopska
Poskocica", which apparently just means they are showing off to the
girls. I would keep them any day as an unfair trade for the four little
swans
in ''Swan Lake''…

27, the
day of his 87th birthday, when he was named jazz musician of the day.
This is a
great recognition because such a recognition in the days when they were

Classical
Music since 1952 From
November 15, 1951 till 1954, Tale Ognenovski worked with the ‘Police
Wind
Orchestra.’ From 1954 till 1956, he worked with the ‘Skopje Public Town
Orchestra’. The repertoire for both of these Orchestras consisted of
classical
music. Tale Ognenovski passed the auditions to join these Orchestras
with
flying colours. In 1951, and just a day before the audition, the
archivist
Mitko gave him the music score from a composition including the opera
‘Carmen’
by Georges Bizet, the opera ‘The Troubadour’ by Guiseppe Verdi and
‘Makedonka’
by Ilija Todorovski. The Director and Conductor Ilija Todorovski was
surprised
at Tale Ognenovski’s extremely impressive degree of skill in
interpreting
classical music. He introduced him to the pianist Nino Cipushev, who
today
lives in Switzerland, and together they prepared the concert ‘Concert
Polka for
Clarinet’ by Miler Bela with the rhythms Allegro, Andante and Tempo di
polka.
In December 1952, Tale Ognenovski as clarinet soloist and with Cipushev
as
piano accompaniment, performed the same concert in the ‘Police House’
in Skopje
with great success. It was with this magnificent performance that Tale
Ognenovski became the first clarinet soloist who had ever performed a
classical
concert for the clarinet in the Republic of Macedonia. This was an
exceptional
event in the history of the country’s music. Present at this concert
were the
composer Gligor Smokvarski, Professor Ilija Nikolovski, the composer,
professor
and pianist Ladislav Palfi, Ilija Todorovski, Micho Kostovski, Stefan
Gajdov,
the composer and Director of the School of Music in Skopje, all members
of the
‘Police Wind Orchestra’ and other citizens. Following this very
successful
concert Tale Ognenovski asked Gligor Smokvarski to make arrangements
for the
‘Police Wind Orchestra’ to play the concert. On May 24, 1953, the
classical
concert ‘Concert Polka for Clarinet’ by Miler Bela, with Gli-gor
Smokvarski’s
arrangement for the ‘Police Wind Orchestra’ (comprising about 30
musicians),
conducted by Micho Kostovski and with Tale Ognenovski as a clarinet
soloist,
was performed in the Radio Skopje (now: Macedonian
Radio Television) building and broadcast live to the nation via
Radio Skopje. This classical concert contains some very difficult parts
with
many cadenzas, which are very difficult for a clarinet soloist to
perform, and
require great skill. Tale Ognenovski performed magnificently in this
concert.
In the audience were Stefan Gajdov the composer, Ladislav Palfi the
composer,
professor and pianist, other composers and other citizens. The concert
was a
great success and the audience warmly applauded the fascinating playing
of Tale
Ognenovski on the clarinet and all members of the Orchestra. After the
concert,
Professor Ladislav Palfi personally congratulated Tale Ognenovski and
expressed
his hope that they two could work together. (The source of the above is
a
letter from Professor Ladislav Palfi dated May 23, 1973, and a letter
from Sime
Pavlovski and Jordan Canevski, dated May, 1998). The members of this
Wind
orchestra were the famous musician and composer Djakonovski
Dragan-Shpato, Sime
Pavlovski, Jordan Canevski, Petkovski Vasko, Chkatrovski Kire,
Zafirovski
Metodija, Nikolovski Pero, Anton Dzaja, Asanovic Sherlo, Savo, Chedo,
Pavle,

Andrej
Beljan, Dimitrovski Vlado, Kiro Stoev, Grashic, Simonovski Dzodza,
Krapovski
Paskal, Nikolovski Tome, Manevski Dimitar and other musicians. This same
concert, with the ‘Police Wind Orchestra’ conducted by Micho Kostovski
and Tale
Ognenovski playing solo on clarinet, was performed also in the ‘Police
House’,
the ‘State Hospital’, the restaurant ‘Kermes’ in Skopje and in
other towns in
Macedonia such as Resen and Ohrid and, everywhere, these tremendously
successful events were significant ones in the musical life of
Macedonia during
the years 1952-1955. The programme of these concerts in addition
included some
parts of classical works. These included Bizet’s ‘Carmen’, ‘The
Troubadour’,
‘Aida’, ‘Rigoletto’, Verdi’s ‘Nabucco’ and ‘La Traviata’, ‘Oberon’ by
Carl
Maria von Weber, Tchaikovsky’s ‘1812 Overture’, Puccini’s ‘Tosca’ and
Rossini’s
‘The Barber of Seville’. Miler
Bela’s ‘Concert Polka for Clarinet’, with the ‘Army Orchestra’
conducted by
Vaso Chelebic, and Tale Ognenovski as clarinet soloist, was performed
in the
‘Army House’ in Skopje in 1953 with great success. http://www.taleognenovski.mk/music.html |

Tale Ognenovski inherited
his great talent and musical genius from his great-grandfather Ognen
and
grandfather Riste, both of whom were excellent players on the reed pipe
(“kavalche”), and from his father Jovan who was an excellent player on
the
bagpipe (“gajda”). At every celebration in his village of Brusnik, his
father
Jovan invited to his home the clarinetist Sterjo, accompanied by two
other
musicians who played the violin and drum, or the clarinetist Lambo,
together
with two other musicians who played the violin and drum (Lambo’s son
Tode
played the drum). On these occasions Tale’s father Jovan played the
bagpipe.
When little Tale was six years old he began to accompany them playing
the
“daire” (some kind of little drum). It was during these moments that
Tale began
to love playing musical instruments. He began to play on the reed pipe
(“kavalche”) at the age of 7 (1929) when he also made his first musical
composition. These particularly happy times in Tale’s life were broken
suddenly, in 1933, when his father Jovan died. By the time Tale was 15
(1937)
he was an excellent player on the reed pipe. During one celebration in
Brusnik
he asked the clarinetist Vasil Talevski to lend him his clarinet. Tale
began to
play the clarinet for the first time, and all the villagers who were
present,
including Vasil Talevski, Mile Karangelevski and the priest Spase were
amazed
at how well he played. It was then that one of the most successful
careers in
the world of music began. Tale’s grandmother Marija (Mara) and mother
Fanija
(Vanka) provided some money to buy Tale his first clarinet, and the
priest
Spase helped them to order it from Celje, Slovenia. Tale began to play
the
clarinet at many celebrations and concerts in villages and the town of
Bitola

The LP
record “Macedonian folk dances played by Tale Ognenovski” (“Makedonski
igraorni
ora sviri Tale Ognenovski”) reference number LP 1439 STEREO was
produced by
Radio Television Belgrade in Belgrade in 1979. On the back cover of
this record
Gjoko Georgiev, the well-known editor of music for Radio Television
Skopje,
wrote this article entitled “TALE IS UNIQUE” in Macedonian: “This
record allows
you to hear the unique, famous, music personality, the solo clarinetist
Tale
Ognenovski. When hearing the music, you will feel exhilarating folklore
all
around you, of the sunny, sad and bright legend of the south being
transferred
into music. These days Tale is a recognised poet and interpreter of
Macedonian
folk dances and songs. He will live on in the Macedonian folk dances
contained
on this record. During the last couple of decades he has continuously
demonstrated his skill at original and superb interpretation,
displaying the
passion of one that is in love, and the style of a virtuoso. But he has
taken
this further, by managing to combine both classical and folk music in
the same
performance, while keeping their particular styles separate. He
demonstrated
this while performing Ernesto Cavallini’s Concert “FIORI ROSSINIANI”,
Weber’s
Concert in ef-mol and Mozart’s Concert in A Major accompanied by
Ladislav Palfi
on the piano and broadcast on Radio Television Skopje. He has performed
many
times in public and played jazz styles based on music by Yugoslav
composers,
Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw... In this particular area of music, we learn
that
Tale Ognenovski first began to play the clarinet in Brusnik near
Bitola; he
then drifted through the Pelagonia plane, crossed over the Vardar and
toured
throughout Macedonia, thence throughout America, Canada and many
European
countries. As he grew up he developed his skill and become wealthy, and
his
clarinet became unique in the hands of a poor village boy from the
mountains of
Pelister. This record is only a small example of Tale’s work, but
enough to
make you aware of his strength and talent” http://www.taleognenovski.mk/uniq.html Cassette

“Tanec,” the Yugoslavian
National Folk Ballet.
“Tanec” means “dance,” but “dance” in a larger form than customary.
Besides
dance alone, it conveys drama, ritual, tradition, songs, even military
maneuvers... there was a remarkable
precision in both dancing and playing... Clarinet,
bass fiddle,
violin, drums, guitar and flute provided most of the accompaniments in
various
combinations…” From an
article written by Samuel Singer
entitled “Yugoslav Ballet Visits Academy”. It appeared in The
Philadelphia
Inquirer, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, USA on
February 8, 1956. ”Anyone
watching the Yugoslav
National Folk Ballet
last night in Constitution Hall could have guessed without any
difficulty the
major emotions and situations involved in the dancing… A Sopska Poskocica
is
devised to show the girls how handsome and wonderful
and brilliant and exciting and sensational their man friends are.
It does.
The rate at which it is danced, and the tremendous energy and precision
of six
men who dance it, is unique and demanded a repetition...” This

Dancers Shoot the Works”. It appeared in The Washington Post and
Times
Herald, Washington,

February 10, 1956.
“…includes singers and musicians
as well:
and singing may be part of the dance, just as musicians may take an
active
part... Last night’s program included songs and dances from Macedonia,
Serbia, Croatia and Dalmacia. The first impression, however, must be
one of
rhythmic precision... Nor was the performance without spectacle... one
dance, Sopska
Poskocica it
was no more than a show-off dance. As such it was highly effective...
The music,
whether for singing or dancing, had the same spontaneous folk quality
and an
exotic character." From an
article written by John
Kraglund, entitled “Music in Toronto”and appearing in The Globe and
Mail, Toronto,
Canada on February
14, 1956. ‘The Macedonian
Ensemble for folk dances and songs ‘Tanec’
has already been performing in America for several weeks... All the
concerts
have had record audiences… immediately after the performance in
Carnegie Hall,
the press wrote numerous compliments. Almost all articles in the
newspapers
were written in superlatives. Every impression of the concert was that
this
concert evening would remain unforgettable. There were many reasons for
this
but, primarily, it was the wonderful folk
music with a full range of temperament and miraculous rhythm,
voluminous
colour and sonority, perfect coordination between the dancers and the
musicians…‘‘ - This article, written by Naum Nachevski, appeared in the
newspaper “Nova Makedonija”, Skopje, People’s Republic of Macedonia, on

Interview of Tale Ognenovski for the newspaper "Nova Makedonija" on October 11, 2003 Tale Ognenovski: “I received the First Award Clarinet as a best clarinetist at the First Republic Macedonian Festival of Folk Dances and Songs, Skopje, October 6-10, 1948. I performed as a virtuoso clarinet and reed pipe soloist with the Macedonian National Ensemble for Folk Dances and Songs "Tanec" on American television, CBS (Columbia Broadcasting System), on January 22, 1956, on French Television on September 20 and 21, 1956, on Swiss Television, on July, 1959… Parts of the articles in the newspapers: “…some remarkable music on both orthodox and unorthodox instruments - a raucous and unforgettable pipe…,” written by John Martin, The New York Times, January 28, 1956, Title: "Ballet: Yugoslav Folk Art 'Tanec' Dancers Appear at Carnegie Hall in Display of Tremendous Skill," is related to my appearance at world-famous Carnegie Hall as reed pipe and clarinet soloist. “…When five of them dance the "Sopska Poskocica," which apparently just means they are showing off to the girls. I would keep them any day as unfair trade for the four little swans in "Swan Lake." They are brilliant, gay, and worth seeing...,” written by Claudia Cassidy, title: "On the Aisle Yugoslav Ballet a Colorful Addition to International Dance", and published in the newspaper Chicago Daily Tribune, on February 6, 1956. I was a virtuoso clarinet soloist in Sopska Poskocica ("Shopska potskoknuvachka") but also and arranger of music because I added my own musical phrases and improvisations in more parts of the dance. I performed with much faster rhythm than appear in the original version of this folk dance, which contribute all articles in the newspapers for this dance to be brilliants. “…An audience which jammed Carnegie to capacity (the house had been sold out by last Monday) cheered and applauded the folk dancing with as much enthusiasm as if it had been witnessing classical, theatrical ballet at its most glittering." Written by Walter Terry, title: 'Yugoslav Folk Ballet", New York Herald Tribune, January 28, 1956. “…This group would be hard to beat…” written by Albert Goldeberg, title "Yugoslav Folk Ballet Opens Engagement", Los Angeles Times, March 13, 1956. “…"Macedonian Tune," which in its intricate rhythms and plaintive melody should at least make Dave Brubeck send out an emergency call for Darius Milhaud..." Written by R. H. Hagan, title "Yugoslav Ballet Proves Folk Dancing 'Tricky' ", San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco, March 8, 1956. “…Together they make as vigorous a display of dancing as the U.S. has never seen." Title: "Dance Bouncing Brigands, Yugoslav come to U.S.", Life, USA, April 9, 1956. My contribution for these wonderful articles in the newspapers was the greatest regarding the other musicians of Ensemble “Tanec”. I was virtuoso clarinet and reed pipe soloist in the most parts of the programme of Ensemble “Tanec.” I was Head of the “Folk Music Orchestra” of “Macedonian Radio Television.” I performed with many Cultural Artistically Societies. I recorded many gramophone records. On October, 2001, is released my CD-album entitled, "Jazz, Macedonian Folk Dances and Classical Music." Record Label: Independent Records, USA. This Audio CD is the best album for all time for instrumental music. This album is confirmation that I am the greatest clarinetist, reed piper, zourlist and small bagpiper of all time and one of the greatest composers in the world of music. My sincere gratitude for I won top honours as the winner of 11 Oktomvri award, the highest and the most prestigious national award in Republic of Macedonia. This Award gave me inspiration for new composing... My biography was published in the book on December 2000 and entitled "Tale Ognenovski Virtuoso of the Clarinet and Composer", and written by Stevan Ognenovski, Mag.Scient. Publishing house is MATICA MAKEDONSKA. The book is published in both Macedonian and English. My biography is published on the Web site www.taleognenovski.com.mk, since September 18, 1998, and written by the same author, my son Stevan Ognenovski, Mag.Scient.” These words appeared in an article entitled, “Tale Ognenovski, Clarinetist, and Musical Virtuoso, which has been touring World” and published in the newspaper "Nova Makedonija", Skopje, Republic of Macedonia on October 11, 2003.

“The
35th anniversary of the founding of “Radio Television Skopje” (now: Macedonian
Radio Television) . In 1979,
Jugoton produced the LP reference number ULS-578 (P 1979) presenting
recordings
of Tale Ognenovski performing for Radio Television Skopje. The LP
contains 15
Macedonian folk dances and songs, one of which is the Macedonian folk
dance
“Veleshko zhensko oro”, composed and performed by the virtuoso clarinet
soloist
Tale Ognenovski. Some text is written on the back cover of this LP in
both
Macedonian and English language. A part of this text reads: THE SKOPJE
RADIO AND TELEVISION FOLK MUSIC ORCHESTRAS THE FOLK MUSIC ORCHESTRA ...The
basic form in which it presents both songs and dances is the so-called
level of
improvisation which being both inspiring and inventive is relatively
close to
the common folk way of playing music, which in conditions of live
folklore
helps the song not to become petrified. This orchestra also fosters
differing
styles and arrangements. Besides Nikola Galevski, a number of talented
instru-mentalists have contributed greatly to the qualitative growth of
this
ensemble. We should certainly mention the names of Angel
Nanchevski, Pero
Jarchev, Kocho Petrovski, Ljupcho Pandilov, Ivan Terziev, Stevo
Teodosiievski,
Tale Ognenovski and Blagoja Deskovski - who is in charge of this
orchestra -
and others. THE
“CHALGII” ORCHESTRA ...Firmly principled in its style, and adaptable to
the
“chalgija” sound of as many of our folklore regions as possible, the
orchestra
has always selected as its members the best instrumentalists from all
three
different “chalgija” schools, that is, from the Skopje, Veles and
Bitola
schools. Its rich repertoire ranges from this and last century’s
old-town songs
and dances to those with patriotic motives created during the
Liberation war.
As “chalgija” is also characteristic of the folklore of other
nationalities and
ethnic groups who live in Macedonia, the orchestra has produced many
Turkish,
Albanian, Vlach and Gypsy songs and dances working together with a
number of
top singers and groups that cultivate this style. However, the
orchestra’s
instrumentalists themselves have often successfully managed to blend
their own
group singing into this orchestra. To mention a few: Ordan Hristov,
Emin
Memedov, Bekir Hadzi Kune, Jashar, Aki Memedov-Chun, Taki Najdenov,
Koce
Pandilov and Tale Ognenovski who has demonstrated his rich talent
performing
with all three different folk music orchestras. THE
AUTHENTIC FOLK INSTRUMENTS ORCHESTRA …Unique in its sound and very
skilful in
its ability to create styles and regional sound combinations, this
ensemble is
a truly spirited performer of our centuries-long authentic music
treasure.
Working together with many eminent singers and talented individuals
from this
area who have accurately interpreted our country songs, it has created
a large
repertoire. The manager of the orchestra is Pece Atanasovski, a
well-known
master on the bagpipe even outside of Yugoslavia. Among the other
well-known
instrumentalists, we should mention Todor Boshov, Mile Kolarov, Tale
Ognenovski, Nikola Cvetkovski, Meophail Sakipov, and Angele Dimovski. With
their numerous performances and tours both in Yugoslavia and abroad,
the Radio Skopje
folk music orchestras have played a great part in the presentation of
Macedonian folk music, and its beauty, to the world. http://www.taleognenovski.mk/uls578.html |

Tale Ognenovski https://www.youtube.com/user/steveogn Interview:
Tale Ognenovski - Shilo Magazine:
"Macedonian Folk music is our greatest
treasure and proof is the performance of folk music from me as a
clarinet and
reed pipe soloist together with other members of the orchestra and
dancers of
the Macedonian National Ensemble for Folk Dances and Songs "Tanec" of
66 concerts held in prestigious concert halls in North America from
January 22
- 12 April, 1956. So brilliant commentaries written by the most
prominent music
critics and published in the elite newspapers and magazines in North

are not written for any ensemble or an artist in any musical genre
performed on
tour in North America until now.” - Tale Ognenovski interview with

Tour of
North America
and Carnegie Hall Concert - Following
every concert ofMacedonian Ensemble ‘Tanec’s’ North American
tour, critics in
almost every newspaper commented about the Macedonian folk dance
‘Sopska
Poskocica’, “...in the case of one dance, Sopska Poskocica, it was
nothing more
than a demonstration in dancing. As such it was highly effective...A
dance like
Sopska Poskocica is produced to demonstrate...The speed at which it is
danced,
and the tremendous energy and precision of the six men who dance it,
makes it
unique…It earned an encore...” Tale Ognenovski was a virtuoso clarinet
soloist
in ‘Sopska Poskocica’ (‘Shopska Podripnuvachka’) but he also helped
arrange the
music for he added his own improvisations to some parts of the dance.
This has
also been the case with others dances where Tale Ognenovski has
performed as
virtuoso clarinet and reed pipe soloist. http://www.taleognenovski.mk/usa1956.html Tour of Switzerland - Tale Ognenovski performed as virtuoso clarinet and reed pipe soloist with Macedonian Ensemble ‘Tanec’ during their tour of Switzerland during the period July 7-10, 1959. The concerts were performed in Berne on July 7 and 8, 1959 and in Geneva on July 9 and 10, 1959 with tremendous success. “...We were presented with remarkable spectacles performed by the Yugoslavian National Folk Ballet ‘Tanec’ from Macedonia... It was a rare opportunity to have a show in the open-air in Geneva. For this occasion, Gitan installed lighting effects that vied with ingenuity... Nothing here that resembled classical dances of our Western World... They have the rhythm of the dances of their country in their blood.... We preferred to give a general impression of this spectacle, which accentuated the originality and the qualities of this ensemble.” The above appeared in an article written by Ed. Mt. and entitled, ‘A Port-Gitana les ballets nationaux yougoslaves’, (‘In Port-Gitana, National Yugoslav Folklore Ballet’). It appeared in the ‘Tribune de Geneve’, Geneva on July 11, 1959. http://www.taleognenovski.mk/switzerland.html |

the
Republic of Macedonia. He was there as a representative of Yugoslav
Radio
Television (Former Yugoslavia). He used records produced from magnetic
tapes to
present folklore material in his presentation entitled “ ‘Chalgii’
music in
Macedonia”. This folklore material was prepared in Skopje by
ethnomusicologists
Dushko Dimitrovski, Kiril Todevski and Metodija Simonovski. From the
magnetic
tape material were presented the recordings of two Macedonian folk
dances:
“Kasapsko oro”, arranged by Tale Ognenovski, and “Kumovo oro chochek”,
composed
by Tale Ognenovski and performed by him as clarinet soloist accompanied
by the
“Chalgii” orchestra of Radio Television Skopje. This created great
interest not

Radio” sent a letter to “Radio Television Skopje” (now: "Macedonian
Radio Television") asking them to send them this
folk material so that it could be especially broadcast on “Belgium
Radio”. |

“TALE IS UNIQUE. During the past couple of decades he has continuously demonstrated his skill at original and superb interpretation displaying the passion of one that is in love, and the style of a virtuoso” - a comment by Gjoko Georgiev on LP 1439 RTB, produced in 1979. The LP record “Macedonian folk dances played by Tale Ognenovski” (“Makedonski igraorni ora sviri Tale Ognenovski”) reference number LP 1439 STEREO was produced by Radio Television Belgrade in Belgrade in 1979. On the back cover of this record Gjoko Georgiev, the well-known editor of music for Radio Television Skopje, wrote this article entitled “TALE IS UNIQUE” in Macedonian: “This record allows you to hear the unique, famous, music personality, the solo clarinetist Tale Ognenovski. When hearing the music, you will feel exhilarating folklore all around you, of the sunny, sad and bright legend of the south being transferred into music. These days Tale is a recognised poet and interpreter of Macedonian folk dances and songs. He will live on in the Macedo-nian folk dances contained on this record. During the last couple of decades, he has continuously demonstrated his skill at original and superb interpretation, displaying the passion of one that is in love, and the style of a virtuoso. But he has taken this further, by managing to combine both classical and folk music in the same performance, while keeping their particular styles separate. He demonstrated this while performing Ernesto Cavallini’s Concert “FIORI ROSSINIANI”, Weber’s Concert in ef-mol and Mozart’s Concert in A Major accompanied by Ladislav Palfi on the piano and broadcast on Radio Television Skopje. He has performed many times in public and played jazz styles based on music by Yugoslav composers, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw... http://www.taleognenovski.mk/uniq.html |
“The
impossible becomes possible: two, ‘usually
non-complimentary’ parallel-existing worlds of sounds – Europe – The
Orient –
are, in Tale Ognenovski’s music, naturally brought closer together,
understand
each other and merge...” - Dushko Dimitrovski, book (“За
Наша Музика” /
“For
Our Music”, Bitola, Republic of Macedonia
The
prodigy, however, is called Tale Ognenovski… As a virtuoso playing
‘Chalgija’
music (in his child-hood, as a shepherd, he played the reed pipe
(‘kavalche’);
later, as an educated musician he played Cavallini, Weber and Mozart.
Tale
Ognenovski, at the same time, navigates himself effectively all around
the
world of classical music… Tale Ognenovski does not find it
problematic to
start with a motif, a theme, and then to navigate through all the
labyrinths of
the archaic and old church styles, so that at in a certain section of
his
improvisation… to decide on a strict, “very Western-style” tonality and
to
bring all that to the starting-point by perfectly structuring and
observing the
style. The impossible becomes possible: two, “usually
non-complimentary”
parallel-existing worlds of sounds - Europe - The Orient – are in Tale
Ognenovski’s music naturally brought closer together, understand each
other and
merge. Has Ognenovski’s ingenuity in advance not done something
that with the power of
empirical palpability and outright proof, will convince us that
Macedonia -
with the power of both worlds of melodies being borne and present in
her galaxy
of sounds - is the one predetermined to play the role of a tonal
catalyst for
the future universal connection and natural mixing and circulation of
the
creative idea of East - West - East?”, wrote Dushko Dimitrovski in his

“...Tale Ognenovski who has demonstrated his rich talent by performing
with all
three different folk music orchestras...” - LP ULS-578
In 1979, Jugoton produced the LP reference number ULS-578 (P 1979)
presenting
recordings of Tale Ognenovski performing for Radio Television Skopje.
The LP
contains 15 Macedonian folk dances and songs, one of which is the
Macedonian
folk dance “Veleshko zhensko oro”, composed and performed by the
virtuoso
clarinet soloist Tale Ognenovski.
Some text is written on the back cover of this LP in both Macedonian
and
English language. A part of this text reads: “THE FOLK MUSIC ORCHESTRA:
… a
number of talented instrumentalists have contributed greatly to the
qualitative
growth of this ensemble. We should certainly mention the names of Angel
Nanchevski, Pero Jarchev, Kocho Petrovski, Ljupcho Pandilov, Ivan
Terziev,
Stevo Teodosiievski, Tale Ognenovski and Blagoja Deskoski … THE
“CHALGII”
ORCHESTRA: …However, the orchestra’s instrumentalists themselves have
often
successfully managed to blend their own group singing into this
orchestra. To
mention a few: Ordan Hristov, Emin Memedov, Bekir Hadzi Kune, Jashar,
Aki
Memedov-Chun, Taki Najdenov, Koce Pandilov and Tale Ognenovski who has
given a
true expression of his rich talent performing with all three different
folk
music orchestras … THE AUTHENTIC FOLK INSTRUMENTS ORCHESTRA: … Among
the other
well-known instrumentalists, we should mention Todor Boshov, Mile
Kolarov, Tale
Ognenovski, Nikola Cvetkovski, Meophail Sakipov, and Angele Dimovski.”

Tale
Ognenovski is the
author of the book “Macedonian folk dances” (Macedonian:
" МАКЕДОНСКИ ОРА" / “Makedonski ora”)
published by the Cultural Educational Association, Skopje, in 1989. The
person
responsible for its publication was Mirko Stefanovski, the secretary of
the
Cultural Educational Association from Skopje. The editor was Jelica
Todorchevska, and it was reviewed by Dr. Trpko Bicevski, Dimche
Nikolevski and
Dushko Dimitrovski. The harmony symbols of the Macedonian folk
dances (composer, Tale Ognenovski) were written by Blagoja Deskovski.
The notographer
is Vasko Petkovski. Financial support for its publication was provided
by the
Republic’s Cultural Society, the Republic’s Scientific Society, the
Autonomous
Interest Society of Skopje and ‘Makedonija Tabak’. In the introduction
to this
book Kiril Todevski, ethnomusicologist and editor of the Folk Music
Department
in Radio Skopje wrote, “Besides his affirming Macedonian folk dances
with
magnetic tapes and gramophone records, Tale Ognenovski has written this
book of
Macedonian folk danc-es, the first such book in Macedonia. He has for a
long
time been associated with the traditional expression of the Folk Genius
and an
endless desire to develop the smallest element of folk music into a
complex
instrumental content... The name of Tale Ognenovski has for forty years
performed, as much music on the Radio as he has in concert halls in our
country, and in many European and non-European countries. He began to
play from
the earliest age with the reed pipe (‘kavalche’) in his village of
Brusnik near
Bitola, and he received recognition from the music profession at the
First
Republic Festival for Macedonian folk dances and songs in Skopje, 1948,
where
he won First Award for the clarinet as the best clarinetist. It was at
this
time, following the Festival and his first great award, that Ognenovski
decided
on a personal objective of developing a creative traditional style in
the area
of instrumental music. Year by year he developed into a real virtuoso
and
artist. He created his own style of interpreting folk dances (‘ora’).
His
particular characteristic involved his own creative improvisations
called
‘maninja’. At the same time as he was performing music like this, he
started
composing his own folk dances. As a composer, he kept the traditional
folk
expression. Many years of performing with the orchestras of Radio
Television
Skopje, with Ensemble ‘Tanec’ and with other folk ensembles
helped him
create ‘Ognenovski’s style’ when producing his own Macedonian folk
dances.
These are easily recognizable by their exuberant melody and rich
rhythms in
correlation with the traditional style. In this area, he is equally
well
recognized as a performer of ‘chalgiski ora’, folk dances where the
melody is
always the first objective. He is a composer of folk dances in the ‘new
town’
tradition, which he interprets with the Folk Music Orchestra and where
the
melody is created in the context of a logical harmony. This book
containing
Macedonian folk dances as well as gramophone records represents an
important
piece of literature for current and future-generation instrumentalists.
This
book will remind us of one uniquely talented artist, Tale Ognenovski.”

“The impossible becomes
possible: two,
‘usually non-complimentary’ parallel-existing worlds of sounds – Europe
– The
Orient – are, in Tale Ognenovski’s music, naturally brought closer
together,
understand each other and merge...” - Dushko Dimitrovski, book “За Наша
Музика” / “For Our Music”
The prodigy, however, is called Tale Ognenovski… As a virtuoso playing
‘Chalgija’ music (in his child-hood, as a shepherd, he played the pipe
(‘kavalche’); later, as an educated musician he played Cavallini, Weber
and
Mozart. Tale Ognenovski, at the same time, navigates himself
effectively all
around the world of classical music… Tale Ognenovski does not find
it
problematic to start with a motif, a theme, and then to navigate
through all
the labyrinths of the archaic and old church styles, so that at in a
certain
section of his improvisation… to decide on a strict, “very
Western-style”
tonality and to bring all that to the starting-point by perfectly
structuring
and observing the style. The impossible becomes possible: two, “usually
non-complimentary” parallel-existing worlds of sounds - Europe - The
Orient –
are in Tale Ognenovski’s music naturally brought closer together,
understand
each other and merge. Has Ognenovski’s ingenuity in advance not
done something that with the power of
empirical palpability and outright proof, will convince us that
Macedonia -
with the power of both worlds of melodies being borne and present in
her galaxy
of sounds - is the one predetermined to play the role of a tonal
catalyst for
the future universal connection and natural mixing and circulation of
the
creative idea of East - West - East?”, wrote Dushko Dimitrovski in his

instrumental music in history. Tale Ognenovski brought folk dances from
Republic
of
Macedonia, Serbia and Albania to Carnegie Hall on January 27, 1956.
He performed
as virtuoso clarinet and reed pipe (‘kavalche’) soloist with Macedonian National
Ensemble for
Folk Dances and Songs "Tanec" in Carnegie Hall, New York
City on January 27, 1956. During his tours around the world, Tale
Ognenovski, clarinetist and composer performed in a multitude of
concerts: In the United

(Berne,
July 7 and 8, Geneva, July 9 and 10, 1959)… The musical genius Wolfgang
Amadeus
Mozart was born on January 27, 1756. Two hundred years later, on
January
27, 1956, another musical genius, Tale Ognenovski performed playing
folk dances
as a virtuoso soloist of clarinet and a reed pipe (“kavalche”) in the
world
famous Carnegie Hall.
During an 84-day journey (January 22, 1956 - April 12, 1956) throughout
the
United States and Canada Ensemble
‘Tanec’ travelled ten thousand kilometres and performed 66 concerts
in 53
different towns. They were described as a Great Cultural Event by the
American
press, with articles appearing in The New York Times, The New York
Daily
Mirror, The New York Herald Tribune, The New York World Telegram, The
New York
Daily News, Boston Traveler, Boston Globe, Chicago Daily News, Chicago
Daily
Tribune, Saint Louis Globe Democrat, San Francisco Chronicle, Los
Angeles
Times, San Diego Union, The Milwaukee Journal, Washington News,
Baltimore Sun,
The Christian Science Monitor, Denver Rocky Mountain News, Life, The
Philadelphia Inquirer, The Globe and Mail, The Washington Post and the
Times
Herald. This tour is one of the longest and the most triumphant of
tours
in the history of world music. Tale Ognenovski and other members of the
Ensemble Tanec arrived as foreign ambassadors, but they received the
warmest
welcome and the most enthusiastic reception possible in North America.
In their
commentaries, the North American press gave such magnificent
descriptions of
the Ensemble’s performances that it could be concluded that Macedonia
was the
‘centre of the folk universe’.
Macedonia is
the Centre
of the Folk Universe ‘Tanec’s triumphant appearance on American
television, in
the Ford Foundation ‘Omnibus’ pro-gramme on January 22, 1956 in New
York City
opened America’s doors to a wealth of Macedonian musical talent. What
followed
would be called a Musical Sensation. ‘Tanec’s performances at Carnegie
Hall and
at other famous concert halls were displays of tremendous skill, the
likes of
which North America had never seen before. Tale Ognenovski and other

Musical
genius Tale
Ognenovski performed in the world-famous Carnegie Hall as clarinet and
reed
pipe virtuoso soloist. His phenomenal success in Ensemble ‘Tanec’s’
66-concert
tour of the United States and Canada in 1956 launched a new era in his
highly
successful, 75-year career. The zenith of his career was his historic
performance with Ensemble ‘Tanec’ at the concert in Carnegie Hall on
January
27, 1956. This concert by Tale Ognenovski and the Ensemble is one of
the most
celebrated events in the history of Carnegie Hall, and it marked the
acceptance
by the American public of Macedonian, Serbian, Croatian and Albanian
Folk
Dances and Songs. Ecstatic applause followed Ensemble ‘Tanec’s
successes
throughout North America. At the end of concerts, the audiences
surrounded the
members of Ensemble “Tanec”, congratulated them for their display of
tremendous
skill, and asked for their autographs. Many of them told Tale
Ognenovski that
he was the number one clarinetist.
Since it
irst opened in
1894, Massey Hall, with its capacity of 2700 seats, has been famous in
Canada,
the U.S. and Europe for its outstanding acoustics. Massey Hall’s first
hundred
years reads like a Who’s Who of the 20th century: Enrico Caruso,
Winston
Churchill, Booker T. Washington, Arturo Toscanini, George Gershwin,
Duke
Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Bob Dylan, Harry
Belafonte, Keith
Richards, Maria Callas, Luciano Pavarotti...
The Carnegie
Hall
concert on January 27, 1956 was performed on the 200th anniversary of
the birth
of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

performed
in many cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco. After
three
fascinating concerts in the Philharmonic Auditorium, Los Angeles,
California on
March 12, 13 and 14, 1956, a group of Hollywood artists invited all
members of
Ensemble ‘Tanec’ to visit the Metro Goldwyn Mayer studio in Hollywood.
In the
main MGM studio, Tale Ognenovski and other members of the Ensemble were
photographed together with June Allyson, one of the most famous stars
of the
screen in the U.S. The Metro Goldwyn Mayer Company prepared a special
banquet
for the members of Ensemble
‘Tanec’. http://www.taleognenovski.mk/metrogoldwynmayer1956.html
‘’Carnegie
Hall was our
greatest triumph“
Roska Dilevska, one of the members of ‘Tanec’, said: “Carnegie Hall was our greatest success. Everywhere we have received frenetic applause for our triumphs. After the concerts, the audience surrounded us...Almost everywhere they asked for our autographs. Amongst those strange admirers and lovers of the art, there have been both well-known and lesser-known actors, singers, painters, our emigrants, students, schoolboys...During our visit to Hollywood at the invitation of the Metro Goldwyn Mayer company, we had the rare opportunity to walk through wide streets of cowboy film set-ups, and see model castles, miniature models of boats and many other well-known things from films which have fascinated us with their grandiosity; and there are still many hundreds more wonders to see. We have seen other film studios, and Metro Goldwyn Mayer prepared a special party for us...” from an article entitled “After returning to the country”, written by D. Stojanova, and published in the newspaper “Nova Makedonija”, Skopje, People's Republic of Macedonia on April 27, 1956.
During
the three-month tour across the
Ballet:
Yugoslav Folk Art; 'Tanec' Dancers Appear at Carnegie Hall in Display
of
Tremendous Skill The
New York Times
“The
Yugoslav National Folk Ballet ‘Tanec’, which has been
touring Europe with great success, made the reason quite clear last
night in a
performance at Carnegie Hall that was a joy and delight...This
particular
group, part of a national movement toward the revival of the folk arts,
comes
from Macedonia, but its dances and songs come also from Serbia, Croatia
and
Dalmatia...Among them are the endless vivacity and the tremendous skill
of a
thoroughly ingratiating company and some brilliantly spectacular and
wonderfully unfamiliar dances. To be sure, they possess all the
qualities
common to folk dancing, but they have great individuality and a wide
variety
besides...These sturdy, spirited and forthright men can dance not only
as fast
as you please, but also as slowly, which is harder and can be much more
exciting. In number after number they do rapid and fairly incredible
phrases
with inexhaustible vigor...But all the dances are ravishing, and their
range is
truly astonishing. There are some winning songs, too, and some
remarkable music
on both orthodox and unorthodox instruments - a raucous and
unforgettable pipe
(virtuoso pipe (“kavalche”) and the clarinet soloist was Tale
Ognenovski -
remark made by Stevan Ognenovski), a charming lyric bagpipe, drums
large and
small, played with two kinds of sticks at the same time or else by the
fingers
alone...The evening is not only wonderful art but also a superb show.
Surely
one performance in New York is not enough. The house was completely
sold out,
and others no doubt would follow the same pattern.” - By John
Martin
, The
New York
Times, , January 28, 1956.

"Everybody knows, of course, that folk dancing is entirely for
participation, and has no value at all as spectacle; everybody knows
it, that
is, until something like the Yugoslav National Folk Ballet, "Tanec",
comes along and puts on a stunning show that any set of spectators
would find
hard to resist... The social and sociological roots are there, to be
sure, but
what is actually offered is the theatrical flower. There is an amazing
variety
to the dances that comprised this particular program. To indicate, that
they are
dances of war, of courtship, of harvest, of sheep-herding, is to lapse
into
platitudes, for a variety exists in far closer terms than any such
standards
backgrounds imply. It is again, the flower that we see; not the roots.
And this
flowering is in terms of movement that compasses a thousand different
shades of
dynamics, of elevation, of rapidity, of aplomb, of spatial range, of
conscious
virtuosity, of total strangeness and exoticism of texture. The
ethnologist will
care enormously that there are here relics of Grecian antiquity,
Turkish
influences from the hated occupation, full-circled kolos from the
plains of
Croatia in contrast to the broken circles of the kolo of the Macedonian
mountains. There is equal interest in the curious musical instruments
that
accompany many of the dances... a dateless reed pipe (virtuoso
reed pipe (“kavalche”) and the clarinet soloist was Tale
Ognenovski -
remark made by Stevan Ognenovski).", February 5,

" The only professional folklore ensemble in Macedonia,
the Tanec Ensemble
are
dedicated to the preservation of traditional Macedonian
music, dance, and costuming. Founded by the government of the People's
Republic of Macedonia in 1949, the group has shared their musical
heritage
with audiences around the world for more than half a century,
performing an
estimated 3,500 concerts in 31 countries'... The ensemble reached
their
peak during the late '50s, when influential clarinet and pipes player
Tale
Ognenovski was a member." Article: “Artist Biography of Tanec Ensemble”

“Tanec, a
Macedonian
group, is a lively, handsome and magnificently skilled company…
accompanied
sometimes by a shepherd’s
pipe … An audience which jammed Carnegie to capacity cheered and
applauded
the folk
dancing with as much enthusiasm as if it had been witnessing
classical,
theatrical ballet at its most glittering.” The above is from an article
entitled ‘Yugoslav Folk
Ballet,’
written by Walter
Terry, and that appeared in the New York Herald
Tribune on
January 28, 1956. New York City, USA. Reed
pipe
soloist was Tale
Ognenovski.
“These
perfect artists performed many marvelous dances, and the astonished
audience
greeted them with long applause. The
program was filled with folk dances and songs. In the past we have
had some
interesting concerts from the East and West but none of them had been
as
successful and been so well-received by the public as the Yugoslav Folk Ballet ‘Tanec’.
Venerable Carnegie Hall fairly vibrated as the audience blistered its
palms in
appreciation...” wrote Robert Coleman in the New York Daily Mirror, New
York
City, USA on January 28, 1956.
“Last
night this Yugoslav
National Folk
Ballet preluded a transcontinental tour at Carnegie Hall... This is
the
freshest, gayest, most
expert dance affair that has come over the horizon in years. We
have been
afforded many novelties from the Orient and the Occident but none of
them won a
more enthusiastic reception than the Yugoslav National Folk Ballet.”
From an
article written by William Hawkins, and that appeared in the New York
World
Telegram, New York City, USA on January 28, 1956.
‘Until
half-past eight, Carnegie Hall was full to capacity, without any of its
near
enough 3000 seats available... To choose which were the most successful
of the
program’s seventeen folk dances, when all were greeted with stormy
applause, is
really very difficult and risky... ‘Shopska
podripnuvachka’
(the virtuoso clarinet soloist was Tale Ognenovski - remark made by
Stevan
Ognenovski) was even repeated, and to repeat a performance on the
American
stage is a really rare and exclusive event…”, wrote Stjepan Pucak in
his
article entitled “First days in America” (Macedonian:
““Првите денови во Америка”), published in the newspaper “Nova
Makedonija”,
Skopje, People’s
Republic of Macedonia, on February 7, 1956.
“…includes
singers and musicians
as
well: and singing may be part of the dance, just as musicians may take
an
active part... Last night’s program included songs and dances from Macedonia,
Serbia, Croatia and Dalmacia. The first impression, however, must be
one of
rhythmic precision... Nor was the performance without spectacle... one
dance, Sopska
Poskocica it
was no more than a show-off dance. As such it was highly effective...
The music,
whether for singing or dancing, had the same spontaneous folk quality
and an
exotic character." From an article written by John
Kraglund, entitled
“Music
in Toronto”and appearing in The Globe and
Mail, Toronto, Canada on
February 14,
1956.
‘The Macedonian
Ensemble for folk dances and songs ‘Tanec’
has already been performing in America for several weeks... All the
concerts
have had record audiences… immediately after the performance in
Carnegie Hall,
the press wrote numerous compliments. Almost all articles in the
newspapers
were written in superlatives. Every impression of the concert was that
this
concert evening would remain unforgettable. There were many reasons for
this
but, primarily, it was the wonderful folk
music with a full range of temperament and miraculous rhythm,
voluminous
colour and sonority, perfect coordination between the dancers and the
musicians…‘‘ - This article, written by Naum Nachevski, appeared in the
newspaper “Nova Makedonija”, Skopje, People’s
Republic of Macedonia, on February 18, 1956, under the title,
“TANEC
receive applause in America” (Macedonian:
““Танец” собира аплаузи по Америка”).
“The
music itself - including several indigenous instruments - is worth
the
price of the show, and never more so than in a number titled simply “Macedonian
Tune,” which in its intricate
rhythms and plaintive melody should at least make Dave Brubeck send
out an
emergency call for Darius Milhaud...” From an article written by R. H.
Hagan,

Tale
Ognenovski is the
number one clarinetist
Musical genius Tale Ognenovski performed in the world-famous Carnegie
Hall as
clarinet and reed pipe virtuoso soloist. His phenomenal success
in Macedonian National Ensemble for Folk Dances and
Songs ‘Tanec’s’
66-concert tour of the United States and Canada in 1956 launched a new
era in
his highly successful, 75-year career. The zenith of his career was his
historic performance with Ensemble ‘Tanec’ at the concert in Carnegie
Hall on
January 27, 1956. This concert by Tale Ognenovski and the
Ensemble is one
of the most celebrated events in the history of Carnegie Hall, and it
marked
the acceptance by the American public of Macedonian, Serbian, Croatian
and
Albanian Folk Dances and Songs. Ecstatic applause followed Ensemble
‘Tanec’s
successes throughout North America. At the end of concerts, the
audiences
surrounded the members of Ensemble “Tanec”, congratulated them for
their
display of tremendous skill, and asked for their autographs. Many
of them
told Tale Ognenovski that he was the number one clarinetist. (Source:

Records,
USA. Catalog: IR37223). Perhaps
these two
Audio CDs are unique recordings in the world where every notes of
measure
numbers III/311-313 are played by Tale Ognenovski exactly as they are
written
in: “W. A. MOZART KONZERT für klarinette und orchester A dur – A

majeur K.V. 622 Ausgabe für Klarinette und Klavier von H. Kling”,

Printed in Germany. This Audio CD entitled: “Mozart Clarinet Concerto
in A, K.
622 Arranged for Two Clarinets by Tale Ognenovski” with Audio CD
entitled:
“Mozart and Ognenovski Clarinet Concertos" performed by Tale Ognenovski
are unique recordings in the world with simultaneously playing two
clarinets
with mixing two different arrangements: for first clarinet and second
clarinet
performed by the same clarinetist (Tale Ognenovski). When you listen
these
three tracks:
Track 4 – “Mozart Clarinet Concerto in A, K. 622 Allegro Arranged for
Two

Track 5 – “Mozart Clarinet Concerto in A, K. 622 Adagio Arranged for

for Two
Clarinets by Tale Ognenovski”
of the Digital Music Audio CD entitled: “Mozart Clarinet Concerto in A,
K. 622
Arranged for Two Clarinets by Tale Ognenovski” you will have impression
that
Tale Ognenovski uses two clarinets simultaneously with two different
arrangements. In other words: use two clarinets by a single performer
(Tale Ognenovski)
- Playing the first clarinet with first arrangement and second clarinet
with
second arrangement that's played simultaneously – by one performer
(Tale
Ognenovski). In reality these three tracks were made by mixing one
audio
recording with clarinet performance according the arrangement for first
clarinet (performed by Tale Ognenovski) and separate audio recording
(performed
by Tale Ognenovski) with clarinet performance according the arrangement
for
second clarinet. It was possible to make a mix of two audio recording
with
arrangements for the first and second clarinet (performed by Tale
Ognenovski)
thanks to the excellent synchronization of performance of the
arrangement for
the second clarinet by clarinetist Tale Ognenovski while he
simultaneously listening
to the tape of his performance on the clarinet with the arrangement for
the
first clarinet. Such perfect synchronization of two clarinets by the
performance of two different arrangements (performed by Tale
Ognenovski) in
recording concert of “Mozart Clarinet Concerto in A, K. 622” is unique
in the
world. Digital Music Audio CD entitled: “Mozart Clarinet Concerto in A,
K. 622
Arranged for Two Clarinets by Tale Ognenovski” is another confirmation
that
Tale Ognenovski is the greatest clarinetist of all time and one of the
most
important musicians of all time in the world…”

"The
new CD of clarinetist Tale Ognenovski rated as phenomenal "
Новото ЦД на кларинетистот
Тале Огненовски оценето како феноменално(Macedonian:
"Новиот албум на македонскиот кларинетист и композитор Тале Огненовски,
објавен на 1 септември годинава, едноставно насловен „Македонски џез
композиции за кларинет од Тале Огненовски“, добива одлични рецензии од
странскиот печат, а особено внимание му е посветено на познатата
Веб-страница „All About Jazz“. Тале Огненовски се јавува како автор,
композитор и аранжер на сите 12 композиции присутни на албумот, кој е
издаден за „Индепендент рекордс“ во продукција на Тале Огненовски и
Стеван Огненовски, а во дистрибуција на „The Orchard“.
Ова
трето ЦД на Огненовски е продолжение на неговите претходни два албуми
под наслов „Џез, македонски народни ора и класична музика“ и „Моцарт и
концертите на кларинет на Огненовски“ (Тале Огненовски аранжираше
делови од концертот за кларинет на Моцарт, за два кларинета), по повод
250-годишнината од раѓањето на австрискиот композитор Волфганг Амадеус
Моцарт. И на новиот албум Огненовски настапува со неговиот актуелен
квартет: Тале Огненовски на кларинет, кавалче,
зурла, мала гајда и тапан, неговиот син Стеван Огненовски на кавалче
и тапан и неговите внуци Никола Огненовски и Климент
Огненовски на кавалче.
Во
освртот за делото на Тале Огненовски, „All About Jazz“ меѓудругото
пишува: „Тале Огненовски е познат во светот по неговите виртуозни
перформанси. Огненовски и неговиот квартет нудат сензационална
џез-музика на кларинет. Македонскиот џез на кларинет компониран од Тале
Огненовски ќе биде феноменален. Различни фрази, спектакуларни
соло-изведби на кларинет, кои се и интересни и фасцинирачки за луѓето
да ги слушаат и да им се восхитуваат. Секој дел од албумот е ритмички
комплексен. Истражувањето на македонските музички традиции со
џез-сензибилитет е извонредно. Звукот е едноставно феноменален....“

"Mozart
Clarinet Concerto in A, K. 622 Arranged
for Two Clarinets by Tale Ognenovski" by Tale
Ognenovski and Stevan
Ognenovski |
"The
world-famous and most relevant jazz music All About Jazz website https://www.allaboutjazz.com
recently published an article in which it paid tribute to the
Macedonian
instrumentalist and musician Tale Ognenovski. The text refers to
the
recognition that the team gave to this site on April 27, the day of his
87th
birthday, when he was named jazz musician of the day. This is a great
recognition because such a recognition in the days when they were born,
regardless of whether they were alive or dead at that moment, was given
to the
other most famous jazz musicians of all time - Benny Goodman, Miles
Davis, Arty
Shaw, Sidney Beckett, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald and others…
Ognenovski is the greatest Macedonian instrumentalist, who plays the
clarinet,
reed pipe (kavalche}, bagpipe and zurla and one of the greatest
composers of
instrumental music. For his works, his son Stevan Ognenovski,
Mag.Scient.,
wrote a book entitled: "Tale
Ognenovski, Clarinet Virtuoso of the Clarinet and Composer". They
are
both producers of Ognenovski's three albums released for the American
record
company The Independent Records, Jazz,
Macedonian Folk Dances and Classical Music (Label: Independent
Records, Catalog: IR 04542, 2001),
MOZART and OGNENOVSKI ConosrtceI Clarinet. (Label: Independent
Records, Catalog: IR 37223,
2006) as well as “Macedonian
Clarinet Jazz Composed By Tale Ognenovski” (Label: Independent
Records, Catalog: IR38824,
2008)… Tale Ognenovski has
composed and arranged 150 Macedonian folk dances, one classic concert
entitled
“Tale Ognenovski concert for clarinet
no. 1”
and 12 jazz compositions. In all the compositions of his albums, he is
a solo
instrumentalist on clarinet, kavalche, bagpipes, zurla and drums, and
on some
of the compositions, along with him, Stevan Ognenovski and his sons
Nikola and
Kliment also play the kavalche. Stevan is the author of eight music
videos of
his father, which are posted on the YouTube website, which contributes
to the
affirmation of Macedonian culture in the world, This article entitled:
"ON
THE MOST IMPORTANT SITE FOR JAZZ All About Jazz: Tale Ognenovski jazz
musician
of the day”, written by Valentina Gjorgievska, appeared in the
newspaper "Vreme”,
number 1713, July 6, 2009, Skopje, Republic of Macedonia).
Perhaps
this music YouTube video is the
most documented biography for any music artist in the world with
chronological
presentation of Tale Ognenovski’s work as clarinetist, composer and
recording
artist.

Reviewer
Neil Horner of the MusicWeb International comments,
"Tale
Ognenovski is undoubtedly an exceptional artist and the predominant
image
created in my mind is of Benny Goodman playing the superb
Contrasts he
commissioned Bartók to write for him, but with a folk rather
than a classical
emphasis… Also, despite the CD promising jazz, folk and classical, it
really
all comes under the umbrella of his conception of how the elements
interlink,
with some but not major differences of emphasis…This disc is likely to
appeal
to world music aficionados who enjoy
the Balkan/Levantine soundworld
and perhaps also those who care to hear the source musics of their
classical
favourites, the aforementioned Bartók but also, here,
perhaps people
like Skalkottas." - CD Review

Reviews:
World-class Jazz Compositions & Traditional
Macedonian
Folk, April 24, 2004 “If
the
traditional music of the Balkans appeals to you and you like
improvisational
jazz ... this CD will blow you away. Music of the Balkans and Central
Europe
has been hidden too long ... The region has been a fertile soil for
exciting,
astonishing, experimental music which in modern times combines with
traditional
music that is creative, original and altogether very satisfying. Tale
Ognenovski has over 45 years of experience creating music on the
clarinet, the
main instrument on which he demonstrates technical expertise and
artistry. His
musical innovations and improvisations shine on this magnificent CD
proving
great music has no borders or politics. The traditional Macedonian folk
tunes
and melodies, "Brusnichko Oro", "Nevenino Oro, "Bukovsko
svadbarski oro", and "Talevo kasapsko oro" are my favorites
because the minor scale and unusual rhythms allow for highly fluid and
lyrical
melodic interpretation… “ - Reviewed in the United States on April 24,

"Тале
Огненовски, кој твори повеќе од 60 години, и е добро познат на
македонската и на светската јавност по својата виртуозност, во декември
минатата година го издаде својот прв албум, насловен како "Џез,
македонски
ора и класична музика". Албумот е снимен во студиото "Промузика
Тра-ла-ла" во Скопје, а го издава дискографската куќа "Индипендент
рекордс" од САД… Овој албум, на кој 80-годишниот Огненовски е
солист
на кларинет, кавалче, гајда и зурла, многу ќе придонесе за афирмација
на
македонскиот фолклор низ светот. Како придружба во дел од песните
настапуваат
членовите на неговиот оркестар: неговиот син Стеван Огненовски, на
тапан, и
внуците Никола и Климент, на кавалче. На албумот се наоѓаат 3
џез-композиции, 6
македонски народни ора - Брусничко, Невенино, Буково свадбарско, Талево
касапско, Стевчево и Шарско оро - и една класична композиција - "Тале
Огненовски, Концерт за кларинет бр.1". Автор на сите мелодии и ора е
самиот Огненовски. Композициите изобилуваат со темпераментен ритам и
силен звук
и го претставуваат кларинетот како инструмент што има можност за силен
солистички опсег. Тале Огненовски спаѓа во редот на најголемите
инструменталисти и композитори во светот. Тој ги поврзал ориенталната и
западната музика и компонирал повеќе од 150 македонски народни ора.
Некои од
неговите композиции се снимени на 11 лонг-плеј плочи и касети.
Настапувал во
Швајцарија, Франција, Шведска, Финска, Англија, Данска и во многу други
земји. Секаде
каде што свирел оставал силен впечаток со својата виртуозност, брзина
во
свирењето и неверојатните аранжмани. Со „Македонскиот
национален ансамбл за народни игри и песни "Танец““ во 1956 година
настапил во познатата сала "Карнеџи хол" во Њујорк. По настапите,
весниците секогаш биле полни со позитивни критики за неговата изведба.
Овој
албум е само потврда дека Тале е најголемиот кларинетист на сите
времиња во
светот, кој во многу области на музиката демонстрира недостижна
техника, силна
инвентивност, запрепастувачка импровизациска виртуозност и нагласена
музичка
компонентност…"- Напис под наслов: "НОВ АЛБУМ НА ТАЛЕ

Interview of
Tale
Ognenovski for the newspaper "Nova Makedonija" on October 11, 2003
Tale
Ognenovski: “I received the First Award Clarinet as a best clarinetist
at the
First Republic Macedonian Festival of Folk Dances and Songs, Skopje,
October
6-10, 1948. I performed as a virtuoso clarinet and reed pipe soloist
with
the Macedonian National Ensemble for Folk Dances and Songs
"Tanec" on American television, CBS (Columbia Broadcasting
System), on January 22, 1956, on French Television on September 20 and
21,
1956, on Swiss Television, on July, 1959… Parts of the articles in the
newspapers: “…some remarkable music on both orthodox and unorthodox
instruments
- a raucous and unforgettable pipe…,” written by John Martin, The New
York
Times, January 28, 1956, Title: "Ballet: Yugoslav Folk Art
'Tanec'
Dancers Appear at Carnegie Hall in Display of Tremendous Skill,"
is
related to my appearance at world-famous Carnegie Hall as reed pipe and
clarinet soloist.
“…When five of them dance the "Sopska Poskocica," which
apparently just means they are showing off to the girls. I would keep
them any
day as unfair trade for the four little swans in "Swan Lake." They
are brilliant, gay, and worth seeing...,” written by Claudia Cassidy,
title:
"On the Aisle Yugoslav Ballet a Colorful Addition to International
Dance", and published in the newspaper Chicago Daily Tribune, on
February 6, 1956. I was a virtuoso clarinet soloist in Sopska Poskocica
("Shopska potskoknuvachka") but also and arranger of music because I
added my own musical phrases and improvisations in more parts of the
dance. I
performed with much faster rhythm than appear in the original version
of this
folk dance, which contribute all articles in the newspapers for this
dance to
be brilliants.
“…An audience which jammed Carnegie to capacity (the house had been
sold out by
last Monday) cheered and applauded the folk dancing with as much
enthusiasm as
if it had been witnessing classical, theatrical ballet at its most
glittering." Written by Walter Terry, title: 'Yugoslav Folk Ballet",
New York Herald Tribune, January 28, 1956.
“…This group would be hard to beat…” written by Albert Goldeberg,
title
"Yugoslav Folk Ballet Opens Engagement", Los Angeles Times,
March 13, 1956.
“…"Macedonian Tune," which in its intricate rhythms and plaintive
melody should at least make Dave Brubeck send out an emergency call for
Darius
Milhaud..." Written by R. H. Hagan, title "Yugoslav Ballet Proves
Folk Dancing 'Tricky' ", San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco, March
8,
1956.
“…Together they make as vigorous a display of dancing as the U.S. has
never
seen." Title: "Dance Bouncing Brigands, Yugoslav come to U.S.",
Life, USA, April 9, 1956.
My contribution for these wonderful articles in the newspapers was the
greatest
regarding the other musicians of Ensemble “Tanec”. I was virtuoso
clarinet and reed pipe soloist in the most parts of the programme of
Ensemble
“Tanec.” I was Head of the “Folk Music Orchestra” of “Macedonian Radio
Television.” I performed with many Cultural Artistically Societies. I
recorded
many gramophone records. On October, 2001, is released my
CD-album
entitled, "Jazz, Macedonian Folk Dances and Classical Music." Record
Label: Independent Records, USA. This Audio CD is the best album for
all time
for instrumental music. This album is confirmation that I am the
greatest
clarinetist, reed piper, zourlist and small bagpiper of all time and
one of the
greatest composers in the world of music. My sincere gratitude for I
won top
honours as the winner of 11 Oktomvri award, the highest and the most
prestigious national award in Republic of Macedonia. This Award gave me
inspiration for new composing... My biography was published in the book

International comments, "Tale Ognenovski is undoubtedly an
exceptional
artist and the predominant image created in my mind is of Benny Goodman
playing
the superb Contrasts he commissioned Bartók to write for him,
but with a folk
rather than a classical emphasis… Also, despite the CD promising jazz,
folk and
classical, it really all comes under the umbrella of his conception of
how the
elements interlink, with some but not major differences of
emphasis…This disc
is likely to appeal to world music aficionados who enjoy
the Balkan/Levantine soundworld
and perhaps also those who care to hear the source musics of their
classical
favourites, the aforementioned Bartók but
also, here, perhaps people like Skalkottas." -

World-class
Jazz Compositions & Traditional Macedonian Folk, April 24, 2004
“If the traditional music of the Balkans
appeals to you
and you like improvisational jazz ... this CD will blow you away. Music
of the Balkans
and Central Europe has been hidden too long ... The region has been a
fertile
soil for exciting, astonishing, experimental music which in modern
times
combines with traditional music that is creative, original and
altogether very
satisfying. Tale Ognenovski has over 45 years of experience creating
music on
the clarinet, the main instrument on which he demonstrates technical
expertise
and artistry. His musical innovations and improvisations shine on this
magnificent CD proving great music has no borders or politics. The
traditional
Macedonian folk tunes and melodies, "Brusnichko Oro", "Nevenino
Oro, "Bukovsko svadbarski oro", and "Talevo kasapsko oro"
are my favorites because the minor scale and unusual rhythms allow for
highly
fluid and lyrical melodic interpretation… “ - Reviewed in the United

"Тале
Огненовски, кој твори повеќе од 60 години, и е добро познат на
македонската и
на светската јавност по својата виртуозност, во декември минатата
година го
издаде својот прв албум, насловен како "Џез, македонски ора и класична
музика". Албумот е снимен во студиото "Промузика Тра-ла-ла" во
Скопје, а го издава дискографската куќа "Индипендент рекордс" од САД…
Овој албум, на кој 80-годишниот Огненовски е солист на кларинет,
кавалче,
гајда и зурла, многу ќе придонесе за афирмација на македонскиот фолклор
низ
светот. Како придружба во дел од песните настапуваат членовите на
неговиот
оркестар: неговиот син Стеван Огненовски, на тапан, и внуците Никола и
Климент,
на кавалче. На албумот се наоѓаат 3 џез-композиции, 6 македонски
народни ора -
Брусничко, Невенино, Буково свадбарско, Талево касапско, Стевчево и
Шарско оро
- и една класична композиција - "Тале Огненовски, Концерт за кларинет
бр.1". Автор на сите мелодии и ора е самиот Огненовски. Композициите
изобилуваат со темпераментен ритам и силен звук и го претставуваат
кларинетот
како инструмент што има можност за силен солистички опсег. Тале
Огненовски
спаѓа во редот на најголемите инструменталисти и композитори во светот.
Тој ги
поврзал ориенталната и западната музика и компонирал повеќе од 150
македонски
народни ора. Некои од неговите композиции се снимени на 11 лонг-плеј
плочи и
касети. Настапувал во Швајцарија, Франција, Шведска, Финска, Англија,
Данска и
во многу други земји. Секаде каде што свирел оставал силен впечаток со
својата
виртуозност, брзина во свирењето и неверојатните аранжмани. Со
„Македонскиот
национален ансамбл за народни игри и песни "Танец““ во 1956 година
настапил во познатата сала "Карнеџи хол" во Њујорк. По настапите,
весниците секогаш биле полни со позитивни критики за неговата изведба.
Овој
албум е само потврда дека Тале е најголемиот кларинетист на сите
времиња во
светот, кој во многу области на музиката демонстрира недостижна
техника, силна
инвентивност, запрепастувачка импровизациска виртуозност и нагласена
музичка
компонентност…"- Напис под наслов: "НОВ АЛБУМ НА ТАЛЕ ОГНЕНОВСКИ

reviewer: Outstanding Musical Interpretation, April 13, 2006.
Erika Borsos: "Outstanding Musical Interpretation - This
reviewer
is familiar with the three B's of classical music: Bach, Beethoven, and
Brahms
and can distinguish their styles, one can *now* add a fourth "B"
which stands for "Balkan" as played by Tale Ognenovski. Mr.
Ognenovski plays Mozart with his own inimitable personal style making
the
classical music take on mysterious and exotic characteristics and
overtones.
His virtuosity possesses special qualities related to the Balkan
clarinet…
Ognenovski explodes with passion as he performs his own "Tale
Ognenovski Concerto for Clarinet No. 1" ... The
labyrinthine musical pathways he creates are
enormously pleasing to the listener. The pentatonic scale and odd
metered
rhythms of Macedonia awaken the listener to new vistas of musical
excitement
and enjoyment. Anyone who loves jazz improvisation and the sounds of
the
clarinet will immediately recognize the superior creativity, breath
control and
complete mastery of this instrument as played by Mr. Ognenovski…”

“Original,
Artistic, Creative,
Enjoyable“, Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2008
Erika Borsos: “I am a fan
of the clarinet and was
absolutely blown away by the beautiful music on this CD. I have all the
CDs
produced by this fabulous clarinet player from Macedonia who is often
called a
"genius" which in my opinion is no exaggeration and this one is my
favorite. Jazz music has a freedom of expression like few other musical
styles.
Tale Ognenovski uses the most intricate Western playing techniques and
combines
them with exotic Balkan stylizations creating a pure and genuine new
dimensional sound. The listener's spirit soars, dances and flies with
pleasure
and anticipation gliding on every note and musical phrase. Besides the
astonishing clarinet playing, Tale Ogenenovski is also a master player
of the
reed pipe, small bagpipe, zourla and drums which add more flavor and
spice to
the original, creative, and artistic clarinet music on this CD. His son
Stevan
Ogenenovski accompanies the master clarinet player on the reed pipes
and drum.
While his grandsons Kliment and Nikola add their accompaniment on the
reed
pipes. Overall, this is a an outstanding CD that is rich with Balkan
flavor and
has great depth. It is filled with sensational and spectacular music.
Tale
Ognenovski Jazz Composition # 1: starts out with Benny Goodman style
playing
with cheerful musical phrasing. The tones gradually transition into an
exciting
exhilarating array of Balkan music which melts into Western
stylizations. The
sounds are delightful as the clarinet explores new paths that are rich
and very
satisfying. The creativity is extravagant and the music is beautiful.
This
piece showcase the originality and amazing artistry of the musician…“

(Macedonian: "Новиот
албум на
македонскиот кларинетист и композитор Тале Огненовски, објавен на 1
септември
годинава, едноставно насловен „Македонски џез композиции за кларинет од
Тале
Огненовски“, добива одлични рецензии од странскиот печат, а особено
внимание му
е посветено на познатата Веб-страница „All About Jazz“. Тале Огненовски
се
јавува како автор, композитор и аранжер на сите 12 композиции присутни
на
албумот, кој е издаден за „Индепендент рекордс“ во продукција на Тале
Огненовски и Стеван Огненовски, а во дистрибуција на „The Orchard“. Ова
трето
ЦД на Огненовски е продолжение на неговите претходни два албуми под
наслов
„Џез, македонски народни ора и класична музика“ и „Моцарт и концертите
на
кларинет на Огненовски“ (Тале Огненовски аранжираше делови од концертот
за
кларинет на Моцарт, за два кларинета), по повод 250-годишнината од
раѓањето на
австрискиот композитор Волфганг Амадеус Моцарт. И на новиот албум
Огненовски
настапува со неговиот актуелен квартет: Тале Огненовски на кларинет,
кавалче,
зурла, мала гајда и тапан, неговиот син Стеван Огненовски на кавалче и
тапан и
неговите внуци Никола Огненовски и Климент Огненовски на кавалче. Во
освртот за
делото на Тале Огненовски, „All About Jazz“ меѓудругото пишува: „Тале
Огненовски е познат во светот по неговите виртуозни перформанси.
Огненовски и
неговиот квартет нудат сензационална џез-музика на кларинет.
Македонскиот џез
на кларинет компониран од Тале Огненовски ќе биде феноменален. Различни
фрази,
спектакуларни соло-изведби на кларинет, кои се и интересни и
фасцинирачки за
луѓето да ги слушаат и да им се восхитуваат. Секој дел од албумот е
ритмички
комплексен. Истражувањето на македонските музички традиции со
џез-сензибилитет
е извонредно. Звукот е едноставно феноменален....“ Напис под наслов: "

(Tale
Ognenovski) - Playing the first clarinet with first arrangement and
second
clarinet with second arrangement that's played simultaneously – by one
performer (Tale Ognenovski). In reality these three tracks were made by
mixing
one audio recording with clarinet performance according the arrangement
for
first clarinet (performed by Tale Ognenovski) and separate audio
recording
(performed by Tale Ognenovski) with clarinet performance according the
arrangement for second clarinet. It was possible to make a mix of two
audio
recording with arrangements for the first and second clarinet

Tale Ognenovski) thanks to the excellent synchronization of performance
of the
arrangement for the second clarinet by clarinetist Tale Ognenovski
while he
simultaneously listening to the tape of his performance on the clarinet
with
the arrangement for the first clarinet. Such perfect synchronization of
two
clarinets by the performance of two different arrangements (performed
by Tale

unique in the world. Digital Music Audio CD entitled: “Mozart Clarinet

Tale
Ognenovski is the
number one clarinetist
Musical genius Tale Ognenovski performed in the world-famous Carnegie
Hall as
clarinet and reed pipe virtuoso soloist. His phenomenal success
in Macedonian National Ensemble for Folk Dances and
Songs ‘Tanec’s’
66-concert tour of the United States and Canada in 1956 launched a new
era in
his highly successful, 75-year career. The zenith of his career was his
historic performance with Ensemble ‘Tanec’ at the concert in Carnegie
Hall on
January 27, 1956. This concert by Tale Ognenovski and the
Ensemble is one
of the most celebrated events in the history of Carnegie Hall, and it
marked
the acceptance by the American public of Macedonian, Serbian, Croatian
and
Albanian Folk Dances and Songs. Ecstatic applause followed Ensemble
‘Tanec’s
successes throughout North America. At the end of concerts, the
audiences
surrounded the members of Ensemble “Tanec”, congratulated them for
their
display of tremendous skill, and asked for their autographs. Many
of them
told Tale Ognenovski that he was the number one clarinetist. (Source:

Extraordinary feelings, undoubtedly evokes monographic work of your

Numerous tours and awards in our country and in the world talking about
your
virtuosity in unsurpassed merger of oriental and western
music. Priceless
is your merit for promotion of Macedonian traditional and folk music

world. But at the same time it should be noted and pedagogical activity
with
young enthusiasts - your followers. Your music and solo
performances, left
a mark of unsurpassed clarinetist who his perpetual inspiration finds
in
the most valuable that has this country – Macedonian folklore. I
think
that words cannot express what is experienced in the moments of your

On August 8
and 9,
1992, Tale Ognenovski played on the clarinet his own compositions of Macedonian folk dances at celebrations
marking the 600th anniversary of the founding of the village of
Brusnik.
In a
programme with the
title ‘Sunday afternoon’ shown on ‘Macedonian Radio Television’ on
February 28, 1993,
the journalist said about Tale Ognenovski, “One clarinet, one life;
Half a
century of magic with the clarinet; The clarinet as a life; These are
only some of
the titles of articles in the newspapers that have been written for the
clarinet virtuoso Tale Ognenovski who plays Macedonian folk dances as
superbly
as he does classical music by Mozart, Wagner, Cavallini... ”Besides
some
Macedonian folk dances, the following pieces of music were included on
the
pro-gramme: Mozart’s ‘Concert in A Major for
Clarinet and
Orchestra K. 622’ and Wagner’s ‘Adagio
for Clarinet’, both performed by
Tale Ognenovski as clarinet soloist accompanied on the piano by the
excellent
pianist Tanja Shopova, and Cavallini’s Concert
‘Fiori Rossiniani’, performed by Tale
Ognenovski as clarinet soloist accompanied on the piano by the famous
pianist
and composer Professor Ladislav Palfi.
In the
programme with
the title ‘Good morning, good day’ shown on ‘Macedonian Radio Television’ on
December 5, 1993,
the journalist Brane Stefanovski said of Tale Ognenovski, “The living
legend of
the Macedonian clarinet. Tale Ognenovski can easily be recognized from
older
records of ‘Macedonian Radio Television’. Tale Ognenovski’s music is
amazing,
with his melodious, clean quality of tone and interpretations for
which
he has received recognition from world-famous experts of the clarinet
and of
Macedonian music. The journalist Elizabeta Matic commented, “Everything
that
has a connection with the clarinet and this man is far from ordinary.
Perhaps
it is a miracle, this dexterity; perhaps he is a genius, or something
more than
that. Perhaps the reason for this is genetic disposition in his family
where
his father played the bagpipe (‘gajdadjija’), but the fact that his
grandfather
and great-grandfather had played some folk instrument suggests that
talent has
developed over the generations to raise the little reed pipe
(‘kavalche’)
player to the highest level reserved for the best. His music is always
based on
the strict rules of Macedonian folklore... Tale Ognenovski is an
Ambassador in the presentation of the valuable things that Macedonia
possesses:
Macedonian complex rhythms...The best clarinetist that this country has
ever
had. The man from whom his followers can learn a great deal...” In this
interview, Tale Ognenovski said that Macedonian folklore is the best
folklore
in the World, and that the inspiration he received when
composing music he got from Macedonian Folk
Music. “
“Maestro
Tale
Ognenovski plays classical music brilliantly (this is the opinion of
experts of
classical music) on the clarinet - Mozart, Weber...etc. He plays
everything; it
doesn’t matter how difficult or complicated it is. In the
records it says
of his debut, first with the pianist Nino Cipushev, and later with the
famous
pianist Ladislav Palfi, that the way Tale Ognenovski plays the most
complicated
classic music is on a par with that of the most famous clarinetists in
the
world. Experts of classical music have said that Tale Ognenovski’s
skill with
the clarinet is nowhere near that of the most famous classical music
clarinetist in the world. On the contrary.” Journalist Violeta Hadzi
Skerleva
wrote this in her article “ Skopje. First Clarinetist of ’94 Tale
Ognenovski, a
portrait” published in the magazine “Ekran”, Skopje, Republic of Macedonia, October
20, 1994.
” The
prodigy, however,
is called Tale Ognenovski…The impossible becomes possible: two,
“usually
non-complimentary” parallel-existing worlds of sounds - Europe - The
Orient –
are in Tale Ognenovski’s music naturally brought closer together,
understand
each other and merge. Has
Ognenovski’s ingenuity in advance not done something that with the
power of
empirical palpability and outright proof, will convince us that
Macedonia -
with the power of both worlds of melodies being borne and present in
her galaxy
of sounds - is the one predetermined to play the role of a tonal
catalyst for
the future universal connection and natural mixing and circulation of
the
creative idea of East - West - East?”, wrote Dushko Dimitrovski in his
book
“For Our Music” (“За Наша Музика”) ISBN 9989-600-01-5, published by BID
“Misirkov”, 1994) http://www.taleognenovski.mk/kniga.html
“It is a
phenomenon that
Tale Ognenovski for every type of music has the right amount of
embouchure and
vibrato, especially for classic music where some circumstances require
a
totally level tone.
It is particularly phenomenal that in a second he can change both the
colour
and the vibrato. The standard is that one timbre and one kind of
vibrato
exclude another colour and another kind...” – Professor Ladislav Palfi
“Tale
Ognenovski
translated whatever came into his head directly into the clarinet. On
June 16,
1998, an interview with Tale Ognenovski was recorded for the television
programme
‘Good Day, Macedonia’ on Macedonian Television. During the interview,
the
journalist Tatjana Stojchevska Manchevska asked Tale Ognenovski to play
some
jazz music.
He performed some jazz music that he composed right there and then
without any
prior planning. He demonstrated his amazing musical talent as a
clarinet and
reed pipe player and composer performing jazz music on this programme.
The
music performed by him on the programme can be heard on his Web site at
the
Internet address http://www.taleognenovski.mk
The
television programme ‘Good Day, Macedonia’ was dedicated to Tale
Ognenovski on
the 50th anniversary of the founding of the FOLK MUSIC ORCHESTRA
of Macedonian Radio Television. An
interview with
Tale Ognenovski “This year sees the 50th anniversary of the
founding of
the ‘Folk Music Orchestra’ of Macedonian Radio Television. The most
famous
clarinetist Tale Ognenovski has for a long time performed in this
Orchestra,”
said Simona Ugrinovska, Manager of the programme ‘Good Day Macedonia’.
She
added that the interview with Tale Ognenovski had been done by her
colleague
Tatjana Stojchevska Manchevska. In the programme, first shown on
July 1,
1998, then repeated on July 4, 1998, the journalist Tatjana Stojchevska
Manchevska said: “Fifty years ago, at the first Macedonian Republic
festival of Folk Dances and Songs held during
the period
October 6-10, 1948, Tale Ognenovski received the First Award as the
best
clarinetist. If you listen to the music of Tale Ognenovski,
this
magnificent, unique, talented virtuoso of the clarinet and composer of
Macedonian folk dances, you will imagine an exciting folklore story and
sense
unparalleled technique in the musical expression of this folk genius.
With his
maestro, solo improvisations Tale Ognenovski made performances of "Macedonian National Ensemble
for
Folk Dances and Songs "Tanec"" the
most
successful they could be. The most significant debut in his rich career
was in
the famous Carnegie Hall on January 27,
1956. “The
artist must
adopt the artistic rules perfectly, to be able to break them
afterwards.” This
com-ment by Michelangelo described the talent that Tale Ognenovski
possessed...In a perfect way he interpreted Mozart, Wagner and
Cavallini, and
jazz improvisations in the style of Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw. Tale
Ognenovski has composed 150 Macedonian folk dances...”
Interview:
Tale
Ognenovski - Shilo Magazine: "Macedonian Folk music is our greatest
treasure and proof is the performance of folk music from me as a
clarinet and
reed pipe soloist together with other members of the orchestra and
dancers of
the Macedonian National Ensemble for Folk Dances and Songs "Tanec" of
66 concerts held in prestigious concert halls in North America from
January 22

prominent
music critics and published in the elite newspapers and magazines in
North
America are not written for any ensemble or an artist in any musical
genre
performed on tour in North America until now.” - Tale Ognenovski

"Tale
Ognenovski
was known as one of the world's greatest ambassadors of Macedonian
music. He
has composed and arranged 150 dances, jazz compositions, a classical
concert,
and even today young musicians learn from his rich opus. Although best
known as
a clarinetist, he also played bagpipes, zurna (zurla), and drums. On January
27, 1956,
he performed with the "Macedonian
National Ensemble for Folk Dances and Songs "Tanec"" in
the prestigious "Carnegie Hall" in New York City, and renowned
newspapers
such as the "New York Times", "Life", "Los Angeles
Times" have published articles about this Macedonian musician. One of
the
last guardians of our sound. In 2008 he released the album "Macedonian Clarinet Jazz
Composed by
Tale Ognenovski", which
received excellent reviews from foreign music
critics, including the prestigious media focused on jazz music "All About Jazz". This was
his
third CD, and he has released "Jazz,
Macedonian Folk Dances and Classical Music" and "Mozart and Ognenovski
Clarinet Concertos". During
his
career, he was awarded the
state award "October 11", and this
year he was awarded a
national pension. - I think that young musicians, especially
those who
have chosen a wind instrument, should learn from Tale's dance. His
performances
are an example of how Macedonian music should play on the clarinet. -
says the
Violinist and director of the "Macedonian National Ensemble for Folk
Dances and Songs" Tanec ", Zoran Dzorlev ... The vocalist of"
Ljubojna ", Vera Milosevska, says that Ognenovski with all the rich
opus
behind him can be considered Mozart in Macedonian music. It brought a
completely
different view of chalgia and folk music, a real turnaround ... Such a
person
is born once in a lifetime. - An article entitled: "Bard of Macedonian

младите
музичари учат од неговиот богат опус Иако е најпознат како кларинетист,
свирел
и на гајда, зурла и на тапан. На 27 јануари 1956 година со ансамблот на
„Танец“
настапил и во престижната „Kарнеги хол“ во Њујорк, а реномирани весници
како
„Њујорк тајмс“, „Лајф“, „Л.А. тајмс“ имаат објавувано написи за овој
македонски
музичар. Еден од последните чувари на нашиот звук. Во 2008 година го
објави
албумот „Македонски џез-композиции за кларинет од Тале Огненовски“, кое
доби одлични
оценки од странските музички критичари меѓу кои и од престижниот медиум

а ги
има издадено и „Џез, македонски народни ора и класична музика“ и
„Моцарт и
концертите на кларинет за Огненовски“. Во тек на кариера му беше
врачена и
државната награда „11 Октомври“, а годинава му беше доделена и
национална
пензија. - Мислам дека младите музичари, особено тие што имаат избрано
дувачки
инструмент, треба да учат од ората на Тале. Неговите изведби се пример
за тоа
како треба да свири македонска музика на кларинет. - истакнува
Виолинистот и
директор на „Македонскиот национален ансамбл за народни игри и песни

Огненовски со
целиот пребогат опус зад себе може да се смета за Моцарт во

"The
clarinet of
the Macedonian virtuoso Tale Ognenovski, who was considered one of the
greatest
cultural ambassadors, of Macedonia was silenced forever. His life
story, which
began exactly 90 years ago in Bitola, ended after a fruitful nine
decades spent
in constant search of the perfect sound of the clarinet he ruled
sovereignly.
In fact, his works represent the clarinet as an instrument that has the
ability
to express the highest range in music. In addition
to this instrument, Ognenovski
also played Macedonian traditional instruments: bagpipe, zurla and
drum, and he
is the author of numerous compositions, mostly for clarinet. He has

the film
"Rhythm and Sound", in 1955
he performed the
Macedonian folk dances: "Zhensko chamche", "Beranche" and
others, with the Macedonian ensemble of folk dances and songs
"Tanec". His recordings for RTV Belgrade, Jugoton, MRT are unique
compositions, inspired by Macedonian folk music. He is the author of

“ENSEMBLE “TANEC” IN NORTH
AMERICA Musical genius Tale Ognenovski performed in the world-famous
Carnegie
Hall as clarinet and reed pipe (“kavalche”) virtuoso soloist. His
phenomenal
success in Ensemble ‘Tanec’s’ 66-concert tour of the United States and
Canada
in 1956 launched a new era in his highly successful, 75-year career.
The zenith
of his career was his historic performance with Ensemble ‘Tanec’ at the
concert
in Carnegie Hall on January 27, 1956. This concert by Tale Ognenovski
and the
Ensemble is one of the most celebrated events in the history of
Carnegie
Hall, and it marked the acceptance by the American public of
Macedonian,
Serbian, Croatian and Albanian Folk Dances and Songs. Ecstatic applause
followed Ensemble ‘Tanec’s successes throughout North America. At the
end of
concerts, the audiences surrounded the members of Ensemble “Tanec”,
congratulated them for their display of tremendous skill, and asked for
their
autographs. Many of them told Tale Ognenovski that he was the number
one
clarinetist. “spectacle … stunning show that any set of spectators
would find
hard to resist … thousand different shades of dynamics … rapidity …
conscious
virtuosity … the broken circles of the kolo of the Macedonian mountains
…
curious musical instruments that accompany many of the dances … a
dateless reed
pipe …” This comes from an article written by music critic John Martin,
entitled
"THE DANCE: FOLK ART; Group From Yugoslavia In Impressive Debut
Learning
vs. Magic No Macedonian Monopoly The Week's Events" and published in
the
The New York Times on February
5, 1956, p. 114. (The virtuoso reed pipe soloist was Tale

Tale Ognenovski performed
as virtuoso clarinet and reed pipe soloist with Macedonian National
Ensemble
for Folk
Dances and Songs "Tanec" during their tour of Switzerland
during the period July 7-10, 1959. Tale Ognenovski made his debut on a
special
programme broadcast on Swiss Television. Playing as
virtuoso
clarinet soloist, he performed his personally composed Macedonian folk
dances
‘Bitolsko oro’ and ‘Brusnichko oro’ with great success.
As a clarinet soloist with
Radio Television Skopje’s (now: Macedonian
Radio Television) Folk Music Orchestra, he played Macedonian folk
dances
that were broadcast on television by “Radio Television Zagreb” (now: Croatian
Radiotelevision), Zagreb, Croatia. (1966)
A
Tale
Ognenovski’s First
Award at the Yugoslav (Former Yugoslavia) Folk Music Festival in
Opatija,
Croatia, 1951.
85 Folk
groups
performed at the Yugoslav (Former Yugoslavia) Folk Music Festival in
Opatija, Croatia,
that took place during the period September 9 to 13, 1951. They came
from
Serbia (Sep-tember 9th, represented by 15 villages), Bosnia and
Herzegovina
(September 10th, represented by 15 villages), Montenegro (September
11th,
represented by 8 villages), Slovenia (September 11th, represented by 5
villages), Macedonia (September 12th, represented by 23 villages) and
Croatia
(September 13th, represented by 19 villages).
A At the Yugoslav (Former
Yugoslaviia) Folk
Music Festival in
Opatija, the
Folk Dance group from the Bitola village of Nidzopole from Cultural -
Educational society “Jonche Georgievski” from the Bitola village of
Dihovo in
which Tale Ognenovski was playing as a clarinet soloist, created a
sensation
and received First Award as the best Folk Dance group at the festival.
Tale
Ognenovski, with his masterly playing solo clarinet, deserved the award
together with other members of the group. This was a great success
because in
this Festival participated 85 different folk dance groups from
Macedonia,
Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The
musical
part of the group had only two members: Tale Ognenovski played solo
clarinet
with the accompaniment of drummer Lambe Petrovski. This is
a
musical
sensation, to receive the First Award with orchestra consisting of only
two
members. The clarinetist Ognenovski and drummer Petrovski performed
closely
together. The dancers and singers were Vera Cholakovska, Cveta
Petrovska,
Sakjime Alimovska, Nada, Marika, Menan, Sefer, Mirko, Vangel, and
Dimche
Talevski. There was a full house at the concert hall in the
Kvarner hotel
in Opatija, and the audience was fascinated by the music and the three
dances performed
by the Ensemble: ‘Za ramo Teshkoto’, ‘Beranche’ and ‘Vlashko za ramo’
(these
folk dances involved singing by all ten members of the Ensemble). Tale
Ognenovski was arranger of these folk dances and made them more
effective with
his solo improvisations. “The
clarinet
(the virtuoso clarinet soloist was Tale Ognenovski - remark made by
Stevan
Ognenovski) was as effective an accompaniment to the large drum in the
folk
dance from Kozjak as it was to the small drum in the folk dance
‘Teshkoto’ from
Nidzopole. They provided a very effective combination” - Dr. Vinko
Zganec in the cultural newsmagazine ‘Kulturni radnik’ Number 10-11,
published in October 1951 in Zagreb, Croatia, This appeared in an
article
entitled ‘Yugoslav Musical folklore at the Festival in
Opatija’. The
audience greets the debut of the group from Nidzopole with great
applause...
Delegates at the Conference of the International Folk Music Council in
Opatia
from September 8-14, 1951, were present at this concert. Many of the
world’s
reporters took photos of the members of the group regarding their
excellent
debut and their receiving First Award at this festival (Source: a
letter from
Mr. Mile Petrovski, Bitola, Republic of Macedonia, May 15, 1965, and an
informal interview with Mrs. Vera Cholakovska Petrovska and Mr. Mile
Petrovski
made by Stevan Ognenovski on May 3, 1998).

The Yugoslav (Former Yugoslavian) Folk Music Festival in Opatija had been specially arranged for the members of the Conference of the International Folk Music Council. “The Council has been fortunate in the national setting of its conferences, which each year has given a distinctive character to the proceedings. At the 1951 conference, held at Opatija from September 8th to 14th, we had the stimulus of exchanging views with and learning from our Yugoslav colleagues who have had the inestimable advantage of studying their folk music tradition whilst it is still in full flower; and we were privileged to see and hear for ourselves the beauty and variety of Yugoslav folk art in the wonderful Festival which had been especially arranged for the members of the Conference…” - ...” This appeared in an article entitled ‘Editorial’, and was published in the Journal of the International Folk Music Council, Vol. IV, page 1, in March, 1952. “It was natural that on this occasion expositions of Yugoslav folklore and music should form the backbone of the Conference, and these received the most wonderful illustrations in the nightly Festival which took place in the magnificent ballroom of a nearby hotel. Every evening, for three hours or more, we witnessed an astonishing pageant of costume and custom, ritual and social dance, song and instrumental playing by 700 performers brought together from every part of the country. This was a world whose riches most of us had barely guessed at and, in this highly concentrated presentation, it was an overwhelming and unforgettable experience...” This came from an article entitled ‘Some impressions of the Yugoslav Conference and Festival’, written by Marie Slocombe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Slocombe), recorded music archivist at the BBC and published in the Journal of the International Folk Music Council, Vol. IV, page 2, in March, 1952. IFMC - The International Folk Music Council (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Council_for_Traditional_Music) was established in 1947 in London, UK.

"Тале
Огненовски, многу
убаво свиреше на кларинет. Сам се беше научил да свири. Тој беше
прочуен и
популарен кларинетист во Битолско. Сите го сметаа за најдобар. Низ
селото или
по полето, тој постојано свиреше на кавалче. Кога подрасна ја замоли
мајка си Фанија
(Ванка) да му купи кларинет. Оваа желба му беше исполнета. За една
година Тале
стана вистински "мајстор"
на кларинетот. Свиреше на
сите приредби во Брусник, а и во другите села. Свиреше и на свадби и
разни
празнични денови.

Concert in
Massey Hall, Toronto, Canada, on
February 13, 1956
Before
the start of Ensemble ‘Tanec’s’ concert in Massey Hall, Toronto, Canada
an
February 13, 1956, the Artistic Director of the Hall told professor
Asparuh Hadzi
Nikolov, the Artistic Director of the Ensemble, that it was a tradition
that
every performer at Massey Hall played the Canadian National Anthem at
the
beginning of every concert. Professor Hadzi Nikolov replied that
it would
not be possible for the Ensemble to play the Canadian National Anthem
right
then, but that if they had been given a score for the Anthem the
previous day,
then it would have been played. Tale Ognenovski overheard this
conversation and
announced that the National Anthem would be played immediately from the
score.
He was given the score and, as he had a ‘B’ clarinet he began to play
one tone
with transposition above, with other members of the Ensemble, Ivan
Terziev
(flute), Nikola Galevski (violin), Aleksandar Sarievski (accordion),
Todor
Pavlovski Totka (guitar) and Reshad Muharedov (drum) accompanying him
without
transposition, which is an easier way to play. It was a highly
successful
rendition of the National Anthem and the concert was as spectacular as
the
other concerts in United States. Only the greatest instrumentalists in
the
world could play a composition like the Canadian National Anthem
without any
preparation in advance and with transposition one tone above.

Macedonian National Ensemble for Folk Dances and Songs "Tanec’s” triumphant appearance on American television
Macedonian National Ensemble for Folk Dances
and Songs "Tanec" was the first dance company from Yugoslavia (the
former Yugoslavia) to perform in America. The Ensemble arrived in New
York City
on January 20, 1956.
The following day, on January 21, The New York Times newspaper ran an
article
entitled, “Crnogorka, Anyone? Yugoslav Dancing Troupe Shows How It Is
Done”. It
commented, “...Members of the Yugoslav National Folk Ballet dancing on
board
the liner Israel yesterday, after they arrived here... The forty-member
group,
which has attracted much attention in Europe, will give a recital in
Carnegie
Hall on Friday evening...The company will perform folk dances from
Macedonia,
Croatia, Herzegovina, Albania and Serbia in native costume.”
Ensemble ‘Tanec’s North American tour was sponsored by International
Artists in
association with Charles E. Green and Lee V. Eastman.
‘Tanec’s sixty-six performances in North America attracted much
attention in
the North American press.
Tale Ognenovski is the number one
clarinetist
Musical genius Tale Ognenovski performed in the world-famous Carnegie
Hall as
clarinet and pipe virtuoso soloist. His phenomenal success in Ensemble
‘Tanec’s’ 66-concert tour of the United States and Canada in 1956
launched a
new era in his highly successful, 60-year career. The zenith of his
career was
his historic performance with Ensemble ‘Tanec’ at the concert in
Carnegie Hall
on January 27, 1956.
This concert by Tale Ognenovski and the Ensemble is one of the most
celebrated
events in the history of Carnegie Hall, and it marked the acceptance by
the
American public of Macedonian, Serbian, Croatian and Albanian Folk
Dances and
Songs. Ecstatic applause followed Ensemble ‘Tanec’s successes
throughout North
America. At the end of concerts, the audiences surrounded the members
of
Ensemble “Tanec”, congratulated them for their display of tremendous
skill, and
asked for their autographs. Many of them told Tale Ognenovski that he
was the
number one clarinetist.
Macedonia is the Centre of the Folk
Universe
‘Tanec’s triumphant appearance on American television, in the Ford
Foundation
‘Omnibus’ programme on January 22, 1956 in New York City opened
America’s doors
to a wealth of Macedonian musical talent. What followed would be called
a
Musical Sensation. ‘Tanec’s performances at Carnegie Hall and at other
famous
concert halls were displays of tremendous skill, the likes of which
North
America had never seen before. Tale Ognenovski and other members of the
Ensemble arrived as foreign ambassadors, but they received the warmest
welcome
and the most enthusiastic reception possible in North America. In their
commentaries, the North American press gave such magnificent
descriptions of
the Ensemble’s performances that it could be concluded that Macedonia
was the
‘centre of the folk universe’.
During an
84-day journey throughout the United States and Canada Ensemble ‘Tanec’
travelled ten thousand kilometres and performed 66 concerts in 53
different
towns. They were described as a Great Cultural Event by the American
press,
with articles appearing in The New York Times, The New York Daily
Mirror, The
New York Herald Tribune, The New York World Telegram, The New York
Daily News,
Boston Traveler, Boston Globe, Chicago Daily News, Chicago Daily
Tribune, Saint
Louis Globe Democrat, San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, San
Diego
Union, The Milwaukee Journal, Washington News, Baltimore Sun, The
Christian
Science Monitor, Denver Rocky Mountain News, Life, The Philadelphia
Inquirer,
The Globe and Mail, The Washington Post and the Times Herald.
This tour is one of the longest and the most triumphant of tours in the
history
of world music. Ensemble ‘Tanec’ twice repeated this giant success,
first with
their 72-concert tour of Germany from August 15 until October 27, 1956,
and
secondly with their 83-concert tour of France from September 20 until
November
25, 1959. They played two concerts in Dortmund, Germany on September 18
and 19,
1959.
Members of ‘Tanec’ who participated in
the concerts in the United States and Canada from January 22 until
April 12,
1956, were the following: Doncheva Todorka, Vishinova Radmila,
Krstic
Dushica, Stojanova Zora, Arsova Desanka, Peshic Olga, Shijakovic Vera,

Condolences
for the death of the Musical Genius Tale Ognenovski:
“Dear
Stevan and family,
On June 19, 2012 the world lost a brilliant artist, musician, composer,
author
and innovator.
There will never be another Tale Ognenovski, but his music and spirit
will live
on forever. He was truly gifted, talented, and unique in style. I
have
been listening to his music since childhood, and he inspired me from
the very
first time I came in contact with your family 13 years ago. That is
when I got
my first clarinet, and even though I don't read music and have not have
any
music teachers, I still play his music on my clarinet often.
There is not
a day that goes by that I don't listen to his music. We are very
saddened
that he has passed away. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Stevan,
your
wife Margarita, your sons Nikola and Kliment.
With our love,
The Cvetkovski Family - Dimce, Gerrie, Steven, Jeffrey, Scott, Cvetko,
Sofija, and Stefka”, Jim
(Dimce) Cvetkovski, June 25,
2012.
“Hello
stevan my name is steven cvetkovski and my father is dimce cvetkovski it
is a
honor and pleasure to be talking the son of one of my idols growing up.
I
am so sorry to hear about your father. Your father has brought so much
love and
joy in to our family with his music. My father and I listened to
your
fathers music every single day. I was born and raised around your
fathers music
and it made me the man i am today. I am in the music industry also. I
do song
writing for Sony and my brother jeff and I own a publishing company in
NY and
LA called Final Play Music Group. www.finalplaymusic.com
. Your father has touched my heart with music in ways i cant even
describe to
you. Every single note that man played i felt it. Your not just
listening to
the music you are feeling it. if you cant feel every note that he plays
your
not listening right. Every song had a story and i felt it. So thank you
and
your father for bring me and my family so much happiness and joy. I
will never
stop spreading your fathers music to everyone. The world needs to hear
Tale…”
With my
families love to yours, Steven Cvetkovski, June 25, 2012.
Hi
Stevan,
I was so sad to hear about the loss of your father. As you know, you
and your
father have such an impact on my dad and it has
trickled
down to me and my brothers as well. I grew up
listening to your father in car rides
and Macedonian festivals. The world has truly lost the most passionate
talented
musician around. His music has inspired my father and for that has
inspired me.
I am so sorry for your loss and wish you and your family wonderful
health. The
Macedonian Festival here in Buffalo, New York will be happening in July
and I
will make sure his songs will be played! God Bless! - Scott Cvetkovski,
Third
son of Dimce
(Jim)
Cvetkovski, June 25, 2012.
Dear
Tale and Stevan.
My name
is Dimce
Cvetkovski. I
was born on November 7, 1957 (in the village of Arvati near Krani in
Prespa). I
came to the United States on February 20, 1970. I was 12
years old.
But I still remember everything, even though I have not been back to
Macedonia
since I came to the United States. My father has been back a few times
but I
haven’t. Maybe one of these days when things are not so busy. Both of
my
parents Cvetko and Sofija are still alive and have just retired. I have
a
sister Stefka who is 5 years younger than me. I am 41 years old and
have been
married for 17 years. My wife’s name is Gerrie (Geraldine) who is
American. I
also have 3 sons Steven (14 years old), Jeffrey (12 years old and Scott
(9
years old)...
In March
1, 1993, I opened my own KARATE
STUDIO WESTERN NEW YORK KARATE CENTER. This is my own business...I
have
listened to Tale’s music since I was a little boy in Macedonia. I
remember I
was very young when I first heard BRUSNICHKO ORO and TALEVO SVADBARSKO
ORO. In
1983, my father went to Macedonia for a visit. He brought to me 2
records (8
Macedonian folk dances - ORA). One record has POLJANSKO ORO, NEVENINO
ORO
etc...The other record has BUKOVSKO SVADBARSKO ORO, RESENSKO ORO,
PRILEPSKO
etc...In 1986 I went to Canada for a visit and I bought a cassette that
has 12
Macedonian folk dances - ORA (CHALGIITE NA TALE OGNENOVSKI, KUKUSHKO
ORO,
RISTEVO ORO...).
Today I
have about 60 Macedonian folk dances - ORA from Tale Ognenovski. His
music must
live forever. Tale’s music touches my HEART and SOUL. Sometimes when I
listen
to his music there are tears from my eyes running down my face.
Nobody in
the world can play the clarinet like Tale. I have listened to a lot of
clarinet
music from many countries but nobody comes close to Tale. He is simply
the
BEST. When I was a little boy in Macedonia, I also played the pipe
(“kavalche”)
with my grandfather Mitre. My grandfather was a shepherd and I used to
help him
on the farm. But I have always loved clarinet music. I am 41 year old.
Two
years ago, I bought a clarinet. I listen by ear and try to play. I do
not know
how to read music. Maybe one day I will try to take lessons. My middle
son
Jeffrey takes lessons and plays the clarinet and the saxophone in
school. He is
in sixth grade. He is very, very good. He is the best in his school on
the
clarinet and the saxophone. My oldest Steven always listens to Tale’s
music. He
loves it. I hope someday I can play like Tale, even a little bit. I
hope
someday I get to meet you and your father Tale. It would be a great
honor to
shake the hand of the best clarinetist in the world. Maestro Tale is
the best.
I hope he lives a long, long, long time...All I want is his music to
live
forever. People need to listen and hear this great clarinetist. With
Great
greetings With Great Happiness. (January 24, 1999)...
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST CLARINETIST IN THE WORLD! (April 10, 1999)...
As I
drive in my car to and from my business and other places throughout the
day, I
spend 11/2 hours each day listening to Tale’s music. Tale is my hero.
His music
is incredible. His approach to every note is so unique. His
improvisations and
solos are out of this world, and no one can even come close. It is true
that
when listening to Tale, his music takes you to different worlds and
different
dimensions. I feel very special and lucky to have friends like you, and
being
touched so deeply by Tale’s music (December 21, 1999)...
Jim (Dimce)
Cvetkovski,
Buffalo, New York, USA
“After listening to the CD: "MOZART
and OGNENOVSKI Clarinet Concertos" for few days, I have come to a
conclusion that this is the best clarinet concertos in the
world.
Whether it's classical, jazz, Macedonian, Greek, Middle Eastern,
Serbian,
Bulgarian or others, no one can play the clarinet with such perfection,
clean
tone, variations, curves and improvisation (without losing the original
piece
or composition), like musical Genius Maestro Tale Ognenovski can. Many
clarinetists only play one type or style of music Tale can play any
style with
perfection. "MOZART
and OGNENOVSKI Clarinet Concertos" CD will go down in history as
one
of the best clarinet concertos ever recorded”, written by Jim

Jim
(Dimce) Cvetkovski, Buffalo, New York, USA: Happy 90th Birthday Tale
Ognenovski,
“Celebrate your life because it's filled with priceless memories,
wonderful
stories, and people who love you!
"His
music is unique in style like no other and will live on forever. He has
bridged
the gaps among folk music, classical music and jazz. No other artist in
the
world of music - any music, has ever done or accomplished this. But
Tale
successfully done so, in a unique genius way. He is truly best in the
world..."

Dear
Stevan,
My congratulation to your father for the prestigious “11 Oktomvri”
Award.
I am very happy that he is recognized for his hard work and his
tremendous
accomplishments (which will no one ever match in this world). He is a
special
man
with special gifts and talents. His knowledge and versatility of music
are
unsurprised. No one can even come close to the way he plays the
clarinet. No
one.
CONGRATULATIONS!
All the best to everyone.

“Tanec, a
Macedonian group, is a lively, handsome and magnificently skilled
company…
accompanied sometimes by a shepherd’s pipe … An audience which jammed
Carnegie
to capacity cheered and applauded the folk dancing with as much
enthusiasm as
if it had been witnessing classical, theatrical ballet at its most
glittering.”
- Walter Terry, New York Herald Tribune, January 28, 1956. New
York City, USA. Reed pipe
soloist
was Tale Ognenovski.
"Called
Tanec, which is the Macedonian word for dance, this group of 37
dancers, singers
and musicians is a kaleidoscope of the Balkans...When five of them
dance the
"Sopska Poskocica", which apparently just means they are showing off
to the girls. I would keep them any day as an unfair trade for the four
little
swans in ''Swan Lake'' - Claudia Cassidy, Chicago Daily Tribune,
February 6,
1956. Chicago,
Illinois, USA. The
clarinet soloist was Tale Ognenovski.
”Anyone watching the Yugoslav National Folk Ballet last night in Constitution Hall could have guessed without any difficulty the major emotions and situations involved in the dancing… A Sopska Poskocica is devised to show the girls how handsome and wonderful and brilliant and exciting and sensational their man friends are. It does. The rate at which it is danced, and the tremendous energy and precision of six men who dance it, is unique and demanded a repetition...” - Paul Hume, The Washington Post and Times Herald, February 10, 1956. Washington, D.C., USA.
“…includes singers and musicians as well: and singing may be part of the dance, just as musicians may take an active part... Last night’s program included songs and dances from Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia and Dalmacia. The first impression, however, must be one of rhythmic precision... Nor was the performance without spectacle... one dance, Sopska Poskocica it was no more than a show-off dance. As such it was highly effective... The music, whether for singing or dancing, had the same spontaneous folk quality and an exotic character" - John Kraglund, The Globe and Mail, February 14, 1956. Toronto, Canada.
‘The Macedonian Ensemble for folk dances and songs ‘Tanec’ has already been performing in America for several weeks... All the concerts have had record audiences… immediately after the performance in Carnegie Hall, the press wrote numerous compliments. Almost all articles in the newspapers were written in superlatives. Every impression of the concert was that this concert evening would remain unforgettable.
“The music itself - including several indigenous instruments - is worth the price of the show, and never more so than in a number titled simply “Macedonian Tune,” which in its intricate rhythms and plaintive melody should at least make Dave Brubeck send out an emergency call for Darius Milhaud...” - R. H. Hagan, the San Francisco Chronicle, March 8, 1956. San Francisco, California, USA.
''Los Angeles Times'' music critic Albert Goldberg commented: "For authentic folk dancing, wild and free and yet subject to its own intricate disciplines, this group would be hard to beat. It numbers over 30 dancers, singers and musicians and they do the dances of Macedonia, Croatia, Serbia, Herzegovina and Albania in native costumes with superb vitality and style...They are accompanied by a group of musicians consisting of a violinist, guitar and accordion players, a flutist, a clarinetist and double bass, though drums of different types are frequently involved, as well as a shepherd's reed pipe", March 13, 1956. Los Angeles, California, USA.
''Dance
Observer'' commented: "The capacity audience at Carnegie Hall on
January
27 for the single New York performance of Tanec, the Yugoslav National
Folk
Ballet, enjoyed a fascinating cross-section of over 2000 years of human
history
and culture. Tanec is a Macedonian group" - Article entitled

“Ballet:
Yugoslav Folk Art ‘Tanec’ Dancers Appear at Carnegie Hall in Display of
Tremendous Skill” - John Martin, the New York Times
“The
Yugoslav National Folk Ballet ‘Tanec’, which has been touring Europe
with great
success, made the reason quite clear last night in a performance at
Carnegie
Hall that was a joy and delight...This particular group, part of a
national
movement toward the revival of the folk arts, comes from Macedonia, but
its
dances and songs come also from Serbia, Croatia and Dalmatia...Among
them are
the endless vivacity and the tremendous skill of a thoroughly
ingratiating
company and some brilliantly spectacular and wonderfully unfamiliar
dances. To
be sure, they possess all the qualities common to folk dancing, but
they have
great individuality and a wide variety besides...These sturdy, spirited
and
forthright men can dance not only as fast as you please, but also as
slowly,
which is harder and can be much more exciting. In number after number
they do
rapid and fairly incredible phrases with inexhaustible vigor...But all
the
dances are ravishing, and their range is truly astonishing. There are
some
winning songs, too, and some remarkable music on both orthodox and
unorthodox
instruments - a raucous and unforgettable pipe (virtuoso reed pipe
(“kavalche”)
and the clarinet soloist was Tale Ognenovski - remark made by Stevan
Ognenovski), a charming lyric bagpipe, drums large and small, played
with two
kinds of sticks at the same time or else by the fingers alone...The
evening is
not only wonderful art but also a superb show. Surely one performance
in New
York is not enough. The house was completely sold out, and others no
doubt
would follow the same pattern,” from an article written by John Martin
entitled
“Ballet: Yugoslav Folk Art ‘Tanec’ Dancers Appear at Carnegie Hall in
Display
of Tremendous Skill,” and published in The New York Times, New York, on
January
28, 1956. https://web.archive.org/web/20141223134019/http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9B07E4DA143FE03BBC4051DFB766838D649EDE

THE DANCE: FOLK ART; Group From Yugoslavia In
Impressive Debut
Learning vs. Magic No Macedonian Monopoly The Week's Events The New York Times
"Everybody
knows, of course, that folk dancing is entirely for participation, and
has no
value at all as spectacle; everybody knows it, that is, until something
like
the Yugoslav National Folk Ballet, "Tanec", comes along and puts on a
stunning show that any set of spectators would find hard to resist...
The
social and sociological roots are there, to be sure, but what is
actually
offered is the theatrical flower. There is an amazing variety to the
dances
that comprised this particular program. To indicate, that they are
dances of
war, of courtship, of harvest, of sheep-herding, is to lapse into
platitudes,
for a variety exists in far closer terms than any such standards
backgrounds
imply. It is again, the flower that we see; not the roots. And this
flowering
is in terms of movement that compasses a thousand different shades of
dynamics,
of elevation, of rapidity, of aplomb, of spatial range, of conscious
virtuosity, of total strangeness and exoticism of texture. The
ethnologist will
care enormously that there are here relics of Grecian antiquity,
Turkish
influences from the hated occupation, full-circled kolos from the
plains of
Croatia in contrast to the broken circles of the kolo of the Macedonian
mountains. There is equal interest in the curious musical instruments
that
accompany many of the dances... a dateless reed pipe (virtuoso reed
pipe
(“kavalche”) and the clarinet soloist was Tale Ognenovski - remark made
by
Stevan Ognenovski)," from an article written by John Martin entitled “THE DANCE: FOLK ART; Group From Yugoslavia In

Ognenovski,
Clarinetist, and Musical Virtuoso, which has been touring World” and
published

“The
prodigy, however, is called Tale Ognenovski…” – From the book entitled:
“For
Our Music” (“За Наша Музика”), 1994, written by Dushko Dimitrovski
“The
prodigy, however, is called Tale Ognenovski… Both Jesus Christ’s: “I
came not
to do away with the Bible, but to fulfil and continue it”, and
Michalangelo’s:
“The Artist must adopt strict, artistic rules at first, to be able to
break
them afterwards”… could well apply to Ognenovski. Absolutely masterly
and
limitless imagination and music inventiveness are only ‘potka’, a
condition, a
starter, tonal ‘organon’, for his creative accomplishments.... As a
virtuoso
playing ‘Chalgija’ music (in his child-hood, as a shepherd, he played
the pipe
(‘kavalche’); later, as an educated musician he played Cavallini, Weber
and
Mozart. Tale Ognenovski, at the same time, navigates himself
effectively all
around the world of classical music. As if the ingenious knowledge
of the
‘chalgija’ universe, but also with the live primordial in the rustic
sound,
together with the vivid, creative touch of the mysteries of European
classical
music idea, had predetermined the outstanding talent of Ognenovski to
make one,
perhaps unconscious, but in musical and historical terms, more than
far-reaching creative step forward. In other words if without telling
in
advance, we approach carefully and analytically the ‘chalgija’ opus
created by
the Maestro, we will discover with surprise and great delight that
Ognenovski
is (probably) the FIRST, and (surely) THE FARTHEST REACHING contemporary who
first made the connection between the two “UNCONNECTABLE” worlds – the
Orient and the West - with words and melodies. Tale Ognenovski does not
find it
problematic to start with a motif, a theme, and then to navigate
through all
the labryinths of the archaic and old church styles, so that at in a
certain
section of his improvisation… to decide on a strict, “very
Western-style”
tonality and to bring all that to the starting-point by perfectly
structuring
and observing the style. The impossible becomes possible: two, “usually
non-complimentary” parallel-existing worlds of sounds - Europe - The
Orient –
are in Tale Ognenovski’s music naturally brought closer together,
understand
each other and merge. Has Ognenovski’s ingenuity in advance not
done
something that with the power of empirical palpability and outright
proof, will
convince us that Macedonia - with the power of both worlds of melodies
being
borne and present in her galaxy of sounds - is the one predetermined to
play
the role of a tonal catalyst for the future universal connection and
natural
mixing and circulation of the creative idea of East - West - East?...

Concert in
Massey Hall, Toronto, Canada, on
February 13, 1956
Before
the start of Ensemble ‘Tanec’s’ concert in Massey Hall, Toronto, Canada
an
February 13, 1956, the Artistic Director of the Hall told professor
Asparuh Hadzi
Nikolov, the Artistic Director of the Ensemble, that it was a tradition
that
every performer at Massey Hall played the Canadian National Anthem at
the
beginning of every concert. Professor Hadzi Nikolov replied that
it would
not be possible for the Ensemble to play the Canadian National Anthem
right
then, but that if they had been given a score for the Anthem the
previous day,
then it would have been played. Tale Ognenovski overheard this
conversation and
announced that the National Anthem would be played immediately from the
score.
He was given the score and, as he had a ‘B’ clarinet he began to play
one tone
with transposition above, with other members of the Ensemble, Ivan
Terziev
(flute), Nikola Galevski (violin), Aleksandar Sarievski (accordion),
Todor
Pavlovski Totka (guitar) and Reshad Muharedov (drum) accompanying him
without
transposition, which is an easier way to play. It was a highly
successful
rendition of the National Anthem and the concert was as spectacular as
the
other concerts in United States. Only the greatest instrumentalists in
the
world could play a composition like the Canadian National Anthem
without any
preparation in advance and with transposition one tone above.
Music
in Toronto The Globe and Mail
"The
first impression, however, must be one of rhythmic precision... Nor was
the
performance without spectacle... in the case of one dance, Sopska
Poskocica it
was no more than a show-off dance. As such it was highly effective ...

Tale
Ognenovski is the number one clarinetist
Musical genius Tale Ognenovski performed in the world-famous Carnegie
Hall as
clarinet and pipe virtuoso soloist. His phenomenal success in Ensemble
‘Tanec’s’ 66-concert tour of the United States and Canada in 1956
launched a
new era in his highly successful, 60-year career. The zenith of his
career was
his historic performance with Ensemble ‘Tanec’ at the concert in
Carnegie Hall
on January 27, 1956.
This concert by Tale Ognenovski and the Ensemble is one of the most
celebrated
events in the history of Carnegie Hall, and it marked the acceptance by
the
American public of Macedonian, Serbian, Croatian and Albanian Folk
Dances and
Songs. Ecstatic applause followed Ensemble ‘Tanec’s successes
throughout North
America. At the end of concerts, the audiences surrounded the members
of
Ensemble “Tanec”, congratulated them for their display of tremendous
skill, and
asked for their autographs. Many of them told Tale Ognenovski that he
was the
number one clarinetist.
Macedonia is the Centre of the Folk
Universe
‘Tanec’s triumphant appearance on American television, in the Ford
Foundation
‘Omnibus’ programme on January 22, 1956 in New York City opened
America’s doors
to a wealth of Macedonian musical talent. What followed would be called
a
Musical Sensation. ‘Tanec’s performances at Carnegie Hall and at other
famous
concert halls were displays of tremendous skill, the likes of which
North
America had never seen before. Tale Ognenovski and other members of the
Ensemble arrived as foreign ambassadors, but they received the warmest
welcome
and the most enthusiastic reception possible in North America. In their
commentaries, the North American press gave such magnificent
descriptions of
the Ensemble’s performances that it could be concluded that Macedonia
was the
‘centre of the folk universe’.
The Metro Goldwyn Mayer Company prepared
a special banquet for Ensemble Tanec
During the three-month tour across the USA (from January 22 to
April
12,1956), concerts were performed in many cities, including Los
Angeles,
Chicago and San Francisco. After three fascinating concerts in the
Philharmonic
Auditorium, Los Angeles, California on March 12, 13 and 14, 1956, a
group of
Hollywood artists invited all members of Ensemble ‘Tanec’ to visit the
Metro
Goldwyn Mayer studio in Hollywood. In the main MGM studio, Tale
Ognenovski and
other members of the Ensemble were photographed together with June
Allyson, one
of the most famous stars of the screen in the U.S. The Metro Goldwyn
Mayer
Company prepared a special banquet for the members of Ensemble ‘Tanec’.

setting of its
conferences, which each year has given a distinctive character to the
proceedings. At the 1951 conference, held at Opatija from September 8th
to
14th, we had the stimulus of exchanging views with and learning from
our
Yugoslav colleagues who have had the inestimable advantage of studying
their
folk music tradition whilst it is still in full flower; and we were
privileged
to see and hear for ourselves the beauty and variety of Yugoslav folk

From the time of the conquest of Alexander the Great to the modern era,
Macedonia has been the scene of dramatic events, brutal invasions and
profound
social upheavals…Macedonian folk music is governed by rhythmic laws and
set
metres. Foreign influences, in so far as they existed, where subjected
to the
rules of accentuation of the Macedonian popular language. The melody is

symmetrical…Teshkoto (the virtuoso clarinet soloist was Tale Ognenovski

Tale
Ognenovski (Nationality: Macedonian)
was
the son of Jovan (1893–1933; Nationality: Macedonian)
and
Fanija (Vanka, 1893–1972; Nationality: Macedonian).
His paternal grandfather was Risto (Nationality: Macedonian),
his
paternal grandmother was Marija (Mara - Nationality: Macedonian)
and
his paternal great grandfather was Ognen (Macedonian: Огнен – English:
Fiery;
Nationality: Macedonian).
Tale
Ognenovski inherited his great talent and musical genius from his
great-grandfather
Ognen and grandfather Risto, both of whom were excellent players on the
reed pipe
(“kavalche”), and from his father Jovan who was an excellent player on
the
bagpipe (“gajda”). At every celebration in his village of Brusnik, his
father
Jovan invited to his home the clarinetist Sterjo, accompanied by two
other
musicians who played the violin and drum, or the clarinetist Lambo,
together
with two other musicians who played the violin and drum (Lambo’s son
Tode
played the drum). On these occasions Tale’s father Jovan played the
bagpipe.
When little Tale was six years old he began to accompany them playing
the
“daire” (some kind of little drum).
It was during these moments that Tale began to love playing musical
instruments. He began to play on the reed pipe (“kavalche”) at the age
of 7
(1929) when he also made his first musical composition. These
particularly
happy times in Tale’s life were broken suddenly, in 1933, when his
father Jovan
died. By the time Tale was 15 (1937) he was an excellent player on the
reed pipe.
During one celebration in Brusnik he asked the clarinetist Vasil
Talevski to
lend him his clarinet. Tale began to play the clarinet for the first
time, and
all the villagers who were present, including Vasil Talevski, Mile
Karangelevski and the priest Spase were amazed at how well he
played.
It was then that one of the most successful careers in the world of
music
began. Tale’s grandmother Marija (Mara) and mother Fanija (Vanka)
provided some
money to buy Tale his first clarinet, and the priest Spase helped them
to order
it from Celje, Slovenia. Tale began to play the clarinet at many
celebrations
and concerts in villages and the town of Bitola with many other
musicians.
From 1946
till 1951 he played in the Cultural-Educational Societies of “Svetlost”
and
“Stiv Naumov” in Bitola, and folk dance groups from the villages of
Brusnik,
Dihovo, Nidzepole, Rotino and Lavci. Always a lover of classical music,
Tale
Ognenovski was prepared to study alone to learn to play classical music
on the
clarinet. He performed many times in radio broadcasts on Radio Bitola.
He
received the First Award as the best clarinetist at the first regional
Bitola
Festival of Folk Dances and Songs, held on October 9-11, 1947. From
November 1,
1948 till December 30, 1948, he was a member of the Folk Orchestra of
Radio Skopje
(now: Macedonian
Radio Television) on the invitation of Mr. Vasil Hadzimanov
and Mr.
Nikolaj Galevski. This was after he had received the First Award
Clarinet as
the best clarinetist at the first Macedonia Festival of Folk Dances and
Songs,
held in Skopje in 1948. He played many times with the Radio Skopje
studio folk
orchestra, and many of these performances were broadcast.
From 1949 to 1951, at the invitation of Mr. Angel Saldziev, Assistant
Director
in the Ministry of Science and Culture in Republic of Macedonia, Tale
Ognenovski toured the Republic of Macedonia accompanied by folk dance
groups
from the villages of Brusnik, Dihovo, Nidzepole and Lavci, and the
“Chalgii”
orchestras of Radio Bitola and Radio Skopje. Mr. Angel Saldziev was the
manager
of these tours, which were at the time significant musical events in
Macedonia.
Tale Ognenovski won First Award at the Yugoslav (Former Yugoslavia)
Folk Music
Festival in Opatija, Croatia, September 9-12, 1951, together with
another 11
members of the Folk Dance Ensemble from the Bitola village of
Nidzepole. This
was out of 85 folk dance groups from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Montenegro, Slovenia, Macedonia and Croatia. From 1951 till 1954, Tale
Ognenovski worked as a member of the “Police Wind Orchestra”.
In 1952, Tale Ognenovski became the
first clarinet soloist in the history of the Republic of Macedonia to
perform a
classical concert for the clarinet.
In December 1952, Tale Ognenovski as clarinet soloist, together with
the superb
pianist Nino Cipushev as accompaniment, performed the classical concert
“Concert Polka for Clarinet” by Miler Bela in the “Police House” in
Skopje with
outstanding success. This classical concert by Miler Bela consists of
complicated parts with many cadenzas demanding great skill and
expertise from a
clarinet soloist. With his superb performance, Tale Ognenovski became
the first
clarinet soloist in the history of the Republic of Macedonia to perform
a
classical concert for the clarinet. This was a notable event in the
history of
Macedonian music.
He staged further classical performances
throughout his career. On May
24, 1953
he played clarinet soloist in the classical concert “Concert Polka for
Clarinet” by Miler Bela with Gligor Smokvarski’s arrangement for the
“Public
Police Wind Orchestra”, comprising about 30 musicians and conducted by
Micho
Kostovski. The concert was performed in the Radio Skopje building, and
broadcast directly to the nation via Radio Skopje (now: Macedonian
Radio Television).
Periodically, from 1949 till 1960, he played solo clarinet with the
Small Radio
Skopje Orchestra conducted by Nikola Galevski on an honorary basis.
These
concerts were also broadcast nationally by Radio Skopje. From November
15, 1951
till 1954, he worked with the “Public Police Wind Orchestra”. From 1954
till
1956, he worked with the “Public Town Skopje Orchestra,” and from 1956
till
1960 with the Macedonian State Ensemble of Folk Dances and Songs
‘Tanec’. (Source: the book entitled:

Amazon.com reviewer: Outstanding Musical
Interpretation, April 13, 2006.
Erika Borsos: "Outstanding Musical Interpretation - This reviewer
is
familiar with the three B's of classical music: Bach, Beethoven, and
Brahms and
can distinguish their styles, one can *now* add a fourth "B" which
stands for "Balkan" as played by Tale Ognenovski. Mr. Ognenovski
plays Mozart with his own inimitable personal style making the
classical music
take on mysterious and exotic characteristics and overtones. His
virtuosity
possesses special qualities related to the Balkan clarinet… Ognenovski
explodes
with passion as he performs his own "Tale Ognenovski Concerto for
Clarinet
No. 1" ... The labyrinthine musical pathways he creates are enormously
pleasing to the listener. The pentatonic scale and odd metered rhythms
of
Macedonia awaken the listener to new vistas of musical excitement and
enjoyment. Anyone who loves jazz improvisation and the sounds of the
clarinet
will immediately recognize the superior creativity, breath control and
complete
mastery of this instrument as played by Mr. Ognenovski…”

Michele Zukovsky, 1st Carinet Los Angeles Philharmonic: “Exquisite,

dumbfounded.
Why, oh, why have I not heard this songbird before. His delicate and
nuanced
Mozart was so inspiring that I fell into a reverie---it was a moment of
bliss
.. No other clarinetist can touch him. After having bought the cd, you
will not
be able to listen to anything else!! …bravo mr. Ognenovski, for
inspiring the

David Gilman, orchestral & solo clarinetist, Lake Forest, CA, USA:
“Unique
Genius - I must concur with my colleague, Michele Z., for her astute
observations regarding Mr. Ognenovski's artistry. His subtle phrasing
and
amazing tone leave one breathless. Words cannot adequately describe the
impression his recordings make. One must experience them to believe it.
I can

Numerous tours and awards in our country and in the world talking about
your
virtuosity in unsurpassed merger of oriental and western music.
Priceless is
your merit for promotion of Macedonian traditional and folk music
around the
world. But at the same time it should be noted and pedagogical activity
with
young enthusiasts - your followers. Your music and solo performances,
left a
mark of unsurpassed clarinetist who his perpetual inspiration finds in

“The
prodigy, however, is called Tale
Ognenovski…” – From the book entitled: “For Our Music” (“За Наша
Музика”),
1994, written by Dushko Dimitrovski
“The
prodigy, however, is called Tale Ognenovski… Both Jesus Christ’s: “I
came not
to do away with the Bible, but to fulfil and continue it”, and
Michalangelo’s:
“The Artist must adopt strict, artistic rules at first, to be able to
break
them afterwards”… could well apply to Ognenovski. Absolutely masterly
and
limitless imagination and music inventiveness are only ‘potka’, a
condition, a
starter, tonal ‘organon’, for his creative accomplishments.... As a
virtuoso
playing ‘Chalgija’ music (in his child-hood, as a shepherd, he played
the pipe
(‘kavalche’); later, as an educated musician he played Cavallini, Weber
and
Mozart. Tale Ognenovski, at the same time, navigates himself
effectively all
around the world of classical music. As if the ingenious knowledge
of the
‘chalgija’ universe, but also with the live primordial in the rustic
sound,
together with the vivid, creative touch of the mysteries of European
classical
music idea, had predetermined the outstanding talent of Ognenovski to
make one,
perhaps unconscious, but in musical and historical terms, more than
far-reaching creative step forward. In other words if without telling
in
advance, we approach carefully and analytically the ‘chalgija’ opus
created by
the Maestro, we will discover with surprise and great delight that
Ognenovski
is (probably) the FIRST, and (surely) THE FARTHEST REACHING
contemporary who
first made the connection between the two “UNCONNECTABLE” worlds – the
Orient
and the West - with words and melodies. Tale Ognenovski does not find
it
problematic to start with a motif, a theme, and then to navigate
through all
the labryinths of the archaic and old church styles, so that at in a
certain
section of his improvisation… to decide on a strict, “very
Western-style”
tonality and to bring all that to the starting-point by perfectly
structuring
and observing the style. The impossible becomes possible: two, “usually
non-complimentary” parallel-existing worlds of sounds - Europe - The
Orient –
are in Tale Ognenovski’s music naturally brought closer together,
understand
each other and merge. Has Ognenovski’s ingenuity in advance not
done
something that with the power of empirical palpability and outright
proof, will
convince us that Macedonia - with the power of both worlds of melodies
being
borne and present in her galaxy of sounds - is the one predetermined to
play
the role of a tonal catalyst for the future universal connection and
natural
mixing and circulation of the creative idea of East - West - East?...

Television Belgrade issued a
LP of Macedonian folk music, on which are performances by the
extraordinary
clarinetist Tale Ognenovski. His music repertoire is folk dances, jazz
(besides
others he includes works by Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw), concerts
from Weber,
Mozart and Cavallini...This is Tale Ognenovski who began to play the
clarinet
in the village of Brusnik near Bitola, who with this wooden instrument
toured
the world and received well-deserved applause wherever he performed.
The names
of the folk dances which Tale Ognenovski plays will not be given; this
is
unnecessary because this is a particularly good record that proves that
this
Macedonian clarinetist is an extraordinary musician”, from the magazine
“Ilustrovana Politika”, under the title, “New records - Macedonian folk
dances”, published in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, 1979,
(This commentary is a message to the reader on the release of the
record RTB LP
1439 STEREO). (Source: the book entitled: “Tale Ognenovski Virtuoso of

TALE IS
UNIQUE. During the past
couple of decades he has continuously demonstrated his skill at
original and
superb interpretation displaying the passion of one that is in love, and the
style of a virtuoso” - a comment by Gjoko Georgiev on LP 1439 RTB,
produced in
1979.
The LP record “Macedonian folk dances played by Tale Ognenovski”
(“Makedonski
igraorni ora sviri Tale Ognenovski" - Macedonian: "Македонски играорни ора
свири
ТАЛЕ ОГНЕНОВСКИ”) reference number LP 1439 STEREO was
produced by Radio Television Belgrade in Belgrade in
1979. On the back cover of this record Gjoko Georgiev, the well-known
editor of
music for Radio Television Skopje (now: Macedonian Radio Television), wrote
this article
entitled “TALE IS UNIQUE” in Macedonian: “ЕДЕН Е ТАЛЕ“ This record
allows you
to hear the unique, famous, music personality, the solo clarinetist
Tale
Ognenovski. When hearing the music, you will feel exhilarating folklore
all
around you, of the sunny, sad and bright legend of the south being
transferred
into music. These days Tale is a recognised poet and interpreter of
Macedonian
folk dances and songs. He will live on in the Macedonian folk dances
contained
on this record. During the last couple of decades he has continuously
demonstrated his skill at original and superb interpretation,
displaying the
passion of one that is in love, and the style of a virtuoso. But he has
taken
this further, by managing to combine both classical and folk music in
the same
performance, while keeping their particular styles separate. He
demonstrated
this while performing Ernesto Cavallini’s Concert “FIORI
ROSSINIANI”,
Weber’s Concert in ef-mol (Carl Maria von Weber) and Mozart’s
Concert in A
Major (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart) accompanied
by Ladislav
Palfi on the piano and broadcast on Radio Television Skopje. He has
performed many
times in public and played jazz styles based on music by Yugoslav
composers,
Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw... In this particular area of music, we learn
that
Tale Ognenovski first began to play the clarinet in Brusnik near
Bitola; he
then drifted through the Pelagonia plane, crossed over the Vardar and
toured
throughout Macedonia, thence throughout America, Canada and many
European
countries. As he grew so he enlightened audiences and became wealthy,
never
again to possess the hands of a poor village boy from mountains of
Pelister.
This record is only a little small example of Tale’s work, but enough
to make
you aware of his strength and talent”. (Source: the book entitled:

“…It
is a phenomenon that
Tale Ognenovski has the right amount of “ambazhura” and vibrato for
every type
of music. He maintains a perfectly level tone for classical music when
it is
required. It is particularly amazing that he can change the shade and
the
vibrato in a single moment…”
“... It is not widely known both in Yugoslavia and around the
world, that
the renowned virtuoso clarinetist Tale Ognenovski is a concert
clarinetist.
Indeed, it is not widely known that Tale Ognenovski can play other
styles of
music such as jazz, improvising in the style of Benny Goodman and Artie
Shaw,
or dance music. It is a phenomenon that Tale Ognenovski has the right
amount of
“ambazhura” and vibrato for every type of music. He maintains a
perfectly level
tone for classical music when it is required. It is particularly
amazing that
he can change the shade and the vibrato in a single moment. The
standard is
that one timbre and one kind of vibrato exclude all others.” From an
article by

of
Americans. – “A copy of this programme may be viewed free of charge on
a
videocassette at the Library of Congress in Washington,
D.C. and
would be good for us in Republic of Macedonia to have a copy” - says
Stevan
Ognenovski… So begins and concert activity of Tale Ognenovskii

devoted
to his wife Nevena Ognenovska: Nevenino Oro and Nevenino Lavchansko
Oro…“We had
a wonderful mother Nevena Ognenovska who took care not to feel his
commitment
and his absences due his concerts worldwide. She was a very supportive
to my
father in his career” - says his son Stevan Ognenovski … With the help
of his
family (his son Stevan Ognenovski and daughter in law Margarita
Ognenovska) and
the donors (Dimce (Jim) Cvetkovski,Ministry of Culture of the Republic

My jazz compositions cannot be compared with any Macedonian folk dance.
Some
ask me whether in my jazz compositions are recognized Macedonia, and I
say yes,
Macedonia performed by Tale Ognenovski. The Jazz otherwise I practice
since
1992 and my jazz is a Macedonian jazz which is different from others
... I've
played all over the world. But I had played also for Josip
Broz Tito, the former President of Yugoslavia every time
when he
visited Republic of Macedonia. Once I played for him in Brdo
Castle near
Kranj in Slovenia ..." - Article written by Rumena

Concert in
Massey Hall, Toronto,
Canada, on February 13, 1956
Before the
start of Ensemble
‘Tanec’s’ concert in Massey Hall, Toronto, Canada an February 13, 1956,
the
Artistic Director of the Hall told professor Asparuh Hadzi Nikolov, the
Artistic Director of the Ensemble, that it was a tradition that every
performer
at Massey Hall played the Canadian National Anthem at the beginning of
every
concert. Professor Hadzi Nikolov replied that it would not be
possible
for the Ensemble to play the Canadian National Anthem right then, but
that if
they had been given a score for the Anthem the previous day, then it
would have
been played. Tale Ognenovski overheard this conversation and announced
that the
National Anthem would be played immediately from the score. He was
given the
score and, as he had a ‘B’ clarinet he began to play one tone with
transposition above, with other members of the Ensemble, Ivan Terziev
(flute),
Nikola Galevski (violin), Aleksandar Sarievski (accordion), Todor
Pavlovski
Totka (guitar) and Reshad Muharedov (drum) accompanying him without
transposition, which is an easier way to play. It was a highly
successful
rendition of the National Anthem and the concert was as spectacular as
the
other concerts in United States. Only the greatest instrumentalists in
the
world could play a composition like the Canadian National Anthem
without any
preparation in advance and with transposition one tone above.

"The first
impression, however,
must be one of rhythmic precision... Nor was the performance without
spectacle... in the case of one dance, Sopska Poskocica it was no more
than a
show-off dance. As such it was highly effective ... " - By John

Macedonian National Ensemble for Folk Dances and Songs "Tanec’s” triumphant appearance on American television
Macedonian National Ensemble for Folk Dances
and Songs "Tanec" was the first dance company from Yugoslavia (the
former Yugoslavia) to perform in America. The Ensemble arrived in New
York City
on January 20, 1956.
The following day, on January 21, The New York Times newspaper ran an
article
entitled, “Crnogorka, Anyone? Yugoslav Dancing Troupe Shows How It Is
Done”. It
commented, “...Members of the Yugoslav National Folk Ballet dancing on
board
the liner Israel yesterday, after they arrived here... The forty-member
group,
which has attracted much attention in Europe, will give a recital in
Carnegie
Hall on Friday evening...The company will perform folk dances from
Macedonia,
Croatia, Herzegovina, Albania and Serbia in native costume.”
Ensemble ‘Tanec’s North American tour was sponsored by International
Artists in
association with Charles E. Green and Lee V. Eastman.
‘Tanec’s sixty-six performances in North America attracted much
attention in
the North American press.
Tale Ognenovski is the number one
clarinetist
Musical genius Tale Ognenovski performed in the world-famous Carnegie
Hall as
clarinet and pipe virtuoso soloist. His phenomenal success in Ensemble
‘Tanec’s’ 66-concert tour of the United States and Canada in 1956
launched a
new era in his highly successful, 60-year career. The zenith of his
career was
his historic performance with Ensemble ‘Tanec’ at the concert in
Carnegie Hall
on January 27, 1956.
This concert by Tale Ognenovski and the Ensemble is one of the most
celebrated
events in the history of Carnegie Hall, and it marked the acceptance by
the
American public of Macedonian, Serbian, Croatian and Albanian Folk
Dances and
Songs. Ecstatic applause followed Ensemble ‘Tanec’s successes
throughout North
America. At the end of concerts, the audiences surrounded the members
of
Ensemble “Tanec”, congratulated them for their display of tremendous
skill, and
asked for their autographs. Many of them told Tale Ognenovski that he
was the
number one clarinetist.
Macedonia is the Centre of the Folk
Universe
‘Tanec’s triumphant appearance on American television, in the Ford
Foundation
‘Omnibus’ programme on January 22, 1956 in New York City opened
America’s doors
to a wealth of Macedonian musical talent. What followed would be called
a
Musical Sensation. ‘Tanec’s performances at Carnegie Hall and at other
famous
concert halls were displays of tremendous skill, the likes of which
North
America had never seen before. Tale Ognenovski and other members of the
Ensemble arrived as foreign ambassadors, but they received the warmest
welcome
and the most enthusiastic reception possible in North America. In their
commentaries, the North American press gave such magnificent
descriptions of
the Ensemble’s performances that it could be concluded that Macedonia
was the
‘centre of the folk universe’.
During an
84-day journey throughout the United States and Canada Ensemble ‘Tanec’
travelled ten thousand kilometres and performed 66 concerts in 53
different
towns. They were described as a Great Cultural Event by the American
press,
with articles appearing in The New York Times, The New York Daily
Mirror, The
New York Herald Tribune, The New York World Telegram, The New York
Daily News,
Boston Traveler, Boston Globe, Chicago Daily News, Chicago Daily
Tribune, Saint
Louis Globe Democrat, San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, San
Diego
Union, The Milwaukee Journal, Washington News, Baltimore Sun, The
Christian
Science Monitor, Denver Rocky Mountain News, Life, The Philadelphia
Inquirer,
The Globe and Mail, The Washington Post and the Times Herald.
This tour is one of the longest and the most triumphant of tours in the
history
of world music. Ensemble ‘Tanec’ twice repeated this giant success,
first with
their 72-concert tour of Germany from August 15 until October 27, 1956,
and
secondly with their 83-concert tour of France from September 20 until
November
25, 1959. They played two concerts in Dortmund, Germany on September 18
and 19,
1959.
Members of ‘Tanec’ who participated in
the concerts in the United States and Canada from January 22 until
April 12,
1956, were the following: Doncheva Todorka, Vishinova Radmila,
Krstic
Dushica, Stojanova Zora, Arsova Desanka, Peshic Olga, Shijakovic Vera,

Tale
Ognenovski is the number one clarinetist
Musical genius Tale Ognenovski performed in the world-famous Carnegie
Hall as
clarinet and reed pipe virtuoso soloist. His phenomenal success
in Macedonian National Ensemble for Folk Dances and
Songs ‘Tanec’s’
66-concert tour of the United States and Canada in 1956 launched a new
era in
his highly successful, 75-year career. The zenith of his career was his
historic performance with Ensemble ‘Tanec’ at the concert in Carnegie
Hall on
January 27, 1956. This concert by Tale Ognenovski and the
Ensemble is one
of the most celebrated events in the history of Carnegie Hall, and it
marked
the acceptance by the American public of Macedonian, Serbian, Croatian
and Albanian
Folk Dances and Songs. Ecstatic applause followed Ensemble ‘Tanec’s
successes
throughout North America. At the end of concerts, the audiences
surrounded the
members of Ensemble “Tanec”, congratulated them for their display of
tremendous
skill, and asked for their autographs. Many of them told Tale
Ognenovski
that he was the number one clarinetist. (Source: the book entitled:

Macedonia
is the Centre of the Folk Universe
‘Tanec’s triumphant appearance on American television, in the Ford
Foundation
‘Omnibus’ programme on January 22, 1956 in New York City opened
America’s doors
to a wealth of Macedonian musical talent. What followed would be called
a
Musical Sensation. ‘Tanec’s performances at Carnegie Hall and at other
famous
concert halls were displays of tremendous skill, the likes of which
North
America had never seen before. Tale Ognenovski and other members of the
Ensemble arrived as foreign ambassadors, but they received the warmest
welcome
and the most enthusiastic reception possible in North America. In
their
commentaries, the North American press gave such magnificent
descriptions of
the Ensemble’s performances that it could be concluded that Macedonia
was the
‘centre of the folk universe’. During an 84-day journey throughout the
United
States and Canada Ensemble ‘Tanec’ travelled ten thousand kilometres
and
performed 66 concerts in 53 different towns. They were described
as a
Great Cultural Event by the American press, with articles appearing in
The New
York Times, The New York Daily Mirror, The New York Herald Tribune, The
New
York World Telegram, The New York Daily News, Boston Traveler, Boston
Globe,
Chicago Daily News, Chicago Daily Tribune, Saint Louis Globe Democrat,
San

Journal,
Washington News, Baltimore Sun, The Christian Science Monitor,
Denver
Rocky Mountain News, Life, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Globe and
Mail, Dance
Observer, The Washington Post and the Times Herald. This tour is
one of
the longest and the most triumphant of tours in the history of world
music. Ensemble ‘Tanec’ twice repeated this giant success, first
with
their 72-concert tour of Germany from August 15 until October 27, 1956,
and
secondly with their 83-concert tour of France from September 20 until
November

the reason
for this is genetic disposition in his family where his father played

bagpipe (‘gajdadjija’), but the fact that his grandfather and
great-grandfather
had played some folk instrument, suggests that talent has developed
over the
generations to raise the little reed pipe (‘kavalche’) player to the

“This

Orchestra’ of
Macedonian Radio Television. The most famous clarinetist Tale
Ognenovski has
for a long time performed in this Orchestra,” said Simona Ugrinovska,
Manager
of the programme ‘Good Day Macedonia’. She added that the interview
with Tale
Ognenovski had been done by her colleague Tatjana Stojchevska
Manchevska. In the programme, first shown on July
1, 1998, then repeated on July 4, 1998, the journalist Tatjana
Stojchevska
Manchevska said: “Fifty years ago, at the first Macedonian Republic
festival of
Folk Dances and Songs held during the period October 6-10, 1948, Tale
Ognenovski received the First Award as the best clarinetist.

“The artist must adopt the artistic rules perfectly, to be able to
break them

Tale
Ognenovski possessed...In a perfect way he interpreted Mozart, Wagner
and
Cavallini, and jazz improvisations in the style of Benny Goodman and
Artie
Shaw.
Tale Ognenovski has composed 150 Macedonian folk dances...”
In this television programme, Tale Ognenovski said, “I received the
First Award
for Clarinet as the best clarinetist at the First Republic Macedonia
Festival
of Folk Dances and Songs in Skopje in 1948. Then Mr. Vasil Hadzimanov
and Mr.
Nikolaj Galevski from Radio Skopje invited me to become a member of the
Folk
Orchestra in Radio Skopje. I joined the Folk Orchestra of Radio Skopje
for two
months, from November 1,1948, till December 30, 1948. Later, in 1960, I
joined
the Folk Orchestra of Radio Skopje again. I become head of the Folk
Orchestra
of Radio Skopje in 1966 for one year, and then in 1967, I retired.
Later I was
invited by Music Production of Radio Television Skopje to perform as
additional
music force with the ‘Chalgii’ Orchestra. With that Orchestra I had
great
success at the International Folklore Conference in Istanbul, Turkey,
where
Mr.Dushko Dimitrovski presented some folklore material (recorded on
magnetic
tapes) that included the Macedonian folk dances, my arrangement
‘Kasapsko oro’
and my composition ‘Kumovo oro chochek’. I performed these on solo
clarinet.
This folk music created great interest among the participants at the
Conference, and later the folk material was presented in a special
programme on
Belgian Radio. In France with Ensemble ‘Tanec’ we performed concerts in
58
towns in 1959. We had remarkable success. Mr. Raymond Guillier, Manager
of the
Tour and Director of his own company (“Les grands spectacles
internationaux -
Les productions Raymond Guiller”) from Paris said that he was
fascinated by my
clarinet playing and told me that my contribution towards the
tremendous
success of Ensemble ‘Tanec’ was considerable. In an interview with the
newspaper ‘Vecher’, he said that he wanted to present the Ensemble in
France
every year. He said that everything that ‘Tanec’ played in the spirit
of
Macedonia he didn’t believe any other Ensemble in the world could
perform, and
the reason for that was that the girls and boys from ‘Tanec’ invested
their
whole heart in the dance, and that an example of that was my playing on
the
clarinet...”
“I made my classical music debut in December 1952, playing as clarinet
soloist
the concert ‘Concert Polka for Clarinet’, accompanied by the pianist
Nino
Cipushev. On May 24, 1953, this concert accompanied by the ‘Police Wind
Orchestra’ (the arrangement for the Orchestra was made by Gligor
Smokvarski)
was broadcast nationally via Radio Skopje. We performed this and other
concerts
when we toured Macedonia. Later, for Radio Skopje, I recorded the
concert
‘Fiori Rossiniani’ by Ernesto Cavallini, with piano accompaniment by
Professor
Ladislav Palfi. Later, in 1970, this concert was shown in my television
programme ‘ONE CLARINET, ONE LIFE’. With piano accompaniment by
Professor
Ladislav Palfi, I performed concertos by Mozart, Weber, and others, and
I
recorded for Radio Skopje the concertos by Mozart and Wagner, with
Tanja
Shopova...” said Tale Ognenovski.
Question: “Can you play some jazz music on this programme?”
Tale Ognenovski: “With pleasure.”

“Tale
Ognenovski who has given a true
expression of his rich talent performing with all three different folk
music
orchestras…”
The 35th
anniversary of the founding of “Radio
Television Skopje” (now: Macedonian
Radio Television)
“...Tale Ognenovski who has demonstrated his rich talent by performing
with all
three different folk music orchestras...” - LP ULS-578
In
1979, Jugoton produced the LP reference number ULS-578 (P 1979)
presenting
recordings of Tale Ognenovski performing for Radio Television Skopje.
The LP
contains 15 Macedonian folk dances and songs, one of which is the
Macedonian
folk dance “Veleshko zhensko oro”, composed and performed by the
virtuoso clarinet
soloist Tale Ognenovski.
Some text is written on the back cover of this LP in both Macedonian
and
English language. A part of this text reads:
“THE SKOPJE RADIO AND TELEVISION FOLK
MUSIC ORCHESTRAS
THE FOLK MUSIC ORCHESTRA
...The basic form in which it presents both songs and dances is the
so-called
level of improvisation which being both inspiring and inventive is
relatively
close to the common folk way of playing music, which in conditions of
live
folklore helps the song not to become petrified. This orchestra also
fosters
differing styles and arrangements. Besides Nikola Galevski, a number of
talented instrumentalists have contributed greatly to the qualitative
growth of
this ensemble. We should certainly mention the names of Angel
Nanchevski, Pero
Jarchev, Kocho Petrovski, Ljupcho Pandilov, Ivan Terziev, Stevo
Teodosiievski,
Tale Ognenovski and Blagoja
Deskoski - who is in charge of this orchestra - and
others.
THE
“CHALGII” ORCHESTRA
...Firmly principled in its style, and adaptable to the “chalgija”
sound of as
many of our folklore regions as possible, the orchestra has always
selected as
its members the best instrumentalists from all three different
“chalgija”
schools, that is, from the Skopje, Veles and Bitola schools. Its rich
repertoire ranges from this and last century’s old-town songs and
dances to
those with patriotic motives created during the Liberation war. As
“chalgija”
is also characteristic of the folklore of other nationalities and
ethnic groups
who live in Macedonia, the orchestra has produced many Turkish,
Albanian, Vlach
and Gypsy songs and dances working together with a number of top
singers and
groups that cultivate this style. However, the orchestra’s
instrumentalists
themselves have often successfully managed to blend their own group
singing
into this orchestra. To mention a few: Ordan Hristov, Emin Memedov,
Bekir Hadzi
Kune, Jashar, Aki Memedov-Chun, Taki Najdenov, Koce Pandilov and Tale
Ognenovski who has given a true expression of his rich talent
performing with
all three different folk music orchestras.
THE
AUTHENTIC FOLK INSTRUMENTS ORCHESTRA
…Unique in its sound and very skilful in its ability to create styles
and
regional sound combinations, this ensemble is a truly spirited
performer of our
centuries-long authentic music treasure. Working together with many
eminent
singers and talented individuals from this area who have accurately
interpreted
our country songs, it has created a large repertoire. The manager of
the
orchestra is Pece Atanasovski, a well-known master on the bagpipe even
outside
of Yugoslavia. Among the other well-known instrumentalists, we should
mention
Todor Boshov, Mile Kolarov, Tale
Ognenovski, Nikola Cvetkovski, Meophail
Sakipov, and Angele Dimovski.
With their numerous performances and tours both in Yugoslavia and
abroad, the
Radio Skopje folk music orchestras have played a great part in the
presentation
of Macedonian folk music, and its beauty, to the world. (Source:

Numerous tours and awards in our country and in the world talking about
your
virtuosity in unsurpassed merger of oriental and western music.
Priceless is
your merit for promotion of Macedonian traditional and folk music
around the
world. But at the same time it should be noted and pedagogical activity
with
young enthusiasts - your followers. Your music and solo performances,
left a
mark of unsurpassed clarinetist who his perpetual inspiration finds in
the most valuable that has this country – Macedonian folklore. I
think

“...It
is a phenomenon that for every style of music, Tale Ognenovski has the
right
amount of ‘ambazhura’ and vibrato. For classical music, when it is
required, a
perfectly level tone...”, wrote Professor Ladislav Palfi on May 23,
1973.
“Tale Ognenovski is the author of the book

by year
his skills as a real virtuoso and artist have developed, this man who
created
his own style for interpreting folk dances (‘ora’), the special
characteristics
of which are his inventive improvisations called ‘maninja’. At the same
time as
producing these, Tale Ognenovski became a composer of his own folk
dances...”

concert
‘Fiori Rossiniani’, Weber’s concert in ef-mol, and Mozart’s concert for

Interview
of Tale Ognenovski for the newspaper "Nova Makedonija" on October 11,
2003
Tale Ognenovski: “I received the First Award Clarinet as a best
clarinetist at
the First Republic Macedonian Festival of Folk Dances and Songs,
Skopje,
October 6-10, 1948. I performed as a virtuoso clarinet and reed pipe
soloist

System), on January 22, 1956, on French Television on September 20 and
21,
1956, on Swiss Television, on July, 1959… Parts of the articles in the
newspapers: “…some remarkable music on both orthodox and unorthodox
instruments
- a raucous and unforgettable pipe…,” written by John Martin, The New
York
Times, January 28, 1956, Title: "Ballet: Yugoslav Folk Art
'Tanec'
Dancers Appear at Carnegie Hall in Display of Tremendous Skill,"
is
related to my appearance at world-famous Carnegie Hall as reed pipe and
clarinet soloist.
“…When five of them dance the "Sopska Poskocica," which
apparently just means they are showing off to the girls. I would keep
them any
day as unfair trade for the four little swans in "Swan Lake." They
are brilliant, gay, and worth seeing...,” written by Claudia Cassidy,
title:
"On the Aisle Yugoslav Ballet a Colorful Addition to International
Dance", and published in the newspaper Chicago Daily Tribune, on
February 6, 1956. I was a virtuoso clarinet soloist in Sopska Poskocica
("Shopska potskoknuvachka") but also and arranger of music because I
added my own musical phrases and improvisations in more parts of the
dance. I
performed with much faster rhythm than appear in the original version
of this
folk dance, which contribute all articles in the newspapers for this
dance to
be brilliants.
“…An audience which jammed Carnegie to capacity (the house had been
sold out by
last Monday) cheered and applauded the folk dancing with as much
enthusiasm as
if it had been witnessing classical, theatrical ballet at its most
glittering." Written by Walter Terry, title: 'Yugoslav Folk Ballet",

melody should at least make Dave Brubeck send out an emergency call for
Darius
Milhaud..." Written by R. H. Hagan, title "Yugoslav Ballet Proves

8,

never
seen." Title: "Dance Bouncing Brigands, Yugoslav come to U.S.",

all time
for instrumental music. This album is confirmation that I am the

one of the
greatest composers in the world of music. My sincere gratitude for I

say yes,
Macedonia performed by Tale Ognenovski. The Jazz otherwise I practice
since
1992 and my jazz is a Macedonian jazz which is different from others

Tale
Ognenovski is the number one clarinetist
Musical genius Tale Ognenovski performed in the world-famous Carnegie
Hall as
clarinet and reed pipe virtuoso soloist. His phenomenal success
in Macedonian
National Ensemble for Folk Dances and Songs ‘Tanec’s’ 66-concert
tour of
the United States and Canada in 1956 launched a new era in his highly
successful, 75-year career. The zenith of his career was his historic
performance with Ensemble ‘Tanec’ at the concert in Carnegie Hall on
January
27, 1956. This concert by Tale Ognenovski and the Ensemble is one
of the
most celebrated events in the history of Carnegie Hall, and it marked
the
acceptance by the American public of Macedonian, Serbian, Croatian and
Albanian
Folk Dances and Songs. Ecstatic applause followed Ensemble ‘Tanec’s
successes
throughout North America. At the end of concerts, the audiences
surrounded the
members of Ensemble “Tanec”, congratulated them for their display of
tremendous
skill, and asked for their autographs. Many of them told Tale
Ognenovski
that he was the number one clarinetist. (Source: the

Macedonia is the Centre of the Folk
Universe
‘Tanec’s triumphant appearance on American television, in the Ford
Foundation
‘Omnibus’ programme on January 22, 1956 in New York City opened
America’s doors
to a wealth of Macedonian musical talent. What followed would be called
a
Musical Sensation. ‘Tanec’s performances at Carnegie Hall and at other
famous
concert halls were displays of tremendous skill, the likes of which
North
America had never seen before. Tale Ognenovski and other members of the
Ensemble
arrived as foreign ambassadors, but they received the warmest welcome
and the
most enthusiastic reception possible in North America. In their
commentaries, the North American press gave such magnificent
descriptions of
the Ensemble’s performances that it could be concluded that Macedonia
was the
‘centre of the folk universe’. During an 84-day journey throughout the
United
States and Canada Ensemble ‘Tanec’ travelled ten thousand kilometres
and
performed 66 concerts in 53 different towns. They were described
as a
Great Cultural Event by the American press, with articles appearing in
The New
York Times, The New York Daily Mirror, The New York Herald Tribune, The
New
York World Telegram, The New York Daily News, Boston Traveler, Boston
Globe,

Journal,
Washington News, Baltimore Sun, The Christian Science Monitor,
Denver
Rocky Mountain News, Life, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Globe and
Mail, Dance
Observer, The Washington Post and the Times Herald. This tour is
one of
the longest and the most triumphant of tours in the history of world
music. Ensemble ‘Tanec’ twice repeated this giant success, first
with
their 72-concert tour of Germany from August 15 until October 27, 1956,
and
secondly with their 83-concert tour of France from September 20 until
November
25, 1959. They played two concerts in Dortmund, Germany on
September 18
and 19, 1959. (Source: the

Macedonian
National Ensemble for Folk Dances
and Songs "Tanec" in Germany
Tale
Ognenovski, clarinet and reed pipe virtuoso soloist with Ensemble
‘Tanec’
toured Germany in 1956
Tale
Ognenovski, clarinet and reed pipe virtuoso with Ensemble ‘Tanec’,
toured
Germany from August 15 until October 27, 1956. The Ensemble performed
72
amazingly successful concerts in many towns, including Stuttgart,
Frankfurt,
Bonn, Gottingen, Munich and Wiesbaden, and every performance was a
sell-out. As
part of their tour of France in 1959, they performed two concerts in
Dortmund,
Germany on September 18 and 19, 1959, playing to an audience of 7000 on
each
occasion. Tale Ognenovski performed as a virtuoso clarinet and reed
pipe
(“kavalche”) soloist
The majority of the programme of Ensemble Tanec’s German tour comprised
of
Macedonian folk dances and songs with the rest made up of Serbian and
Croatian
dances and songs and one Albanian dance. Tale Ognenovski played as
virtuoso
clarinet and pipe (“kavalche”) soloist for most of the programme, in
particular
in the Macedonian folk dances ‘A Bride’s Dance (Nevestinsko Oro)’,
‘Chupurlika’, ‘Shopska Podripnuvachka’, ‘Kopachka’, ‘The Shepherds’
Dance
(Ovcharsko Oro), ‘Soborski Igri’, in Macedonian songs, Serbian folk
dances and
songs and ‘SHOTE’, an Albanian folk dance. Tale Ognenovski was a
virtuoso
clarinet soloist in ‘Shopska petorka’ but also an arranger of the music
because
he added his own improvisations in some areas of the dance. This is the
case
with other dances that Tale Ognenovski performed as virtuoso clarinet
and pipe
soloist.
“I’ll never forget...the man with the reed
pipe (the virtuoso reed pipe soloist wasTale Ognenovski – remark made
by Stevan
Ognenovski)...” – the Hildesheim presse, Germany
“The folklore Ensemble ‘Tanec’ has performed in Germany during the past
few
weeks. They are receiving an enthusiastic welcome everywhere. For
example, the
‘Hildesheim presse’ published an article entitled “Tanec, the magic
word from
the Balkans”. This contained amongst other comments, “Macedonia,
Dalmatia,
Croatia and other parts of Yugoslavia are living as one with these
dances,
songs and music, and all of it is as natural and live as if it were
being
danced in the middle of the village in the country of these young men
and
women. This National Ballet, the top Ensemble in the country, have
shown us
only excellence, politeness and complete perfection. I’ll never forget
the
difficult Macedonian dance from Macedonian shepherds, the Croatian
dance, the
bagpipers and the man with the pipe (the ‘man with the pipe’ is Tale
Ognenovski, since he played folk dances on both the clarinet and the
pipe
(‘kavalche’) - remark made by Stevan Ognenovski), the small singer and
the
drum. But here we don’t discuss details. In reality they each put on
wonderful
separate performances. Every dance and song has great impact and is
rewarded
with extraordinary amounts of applause. ‘Tanec’ in Yugoslavia means
dance, and
at the same time it is a magical word from Yugoslavia.” This article
entitled
‘Great success of Tanec in Germany’ appeared in the newspaper ‘Nova
Makedonija’
on October 21, 1956.
“Success
of Tanec in West Germany” -
Nova Makedonija
“Bonn, October 2.
Yesterday evening, during their three-month cross-country tour of West
Germany,
the Ensemble of Folk Dances and Songs ‘Tanec’ performed a successful
concert in
Bonn Town Theatre. Even though Ensemble Tanec is the third Ensemble to
perform
in this theatre in the last 18 months, every seat was full. Present in
the
audience were the Mayor of Bonn, many prominent politicians, diplomats
and
domestic and foreign journalists. The Ensemble performed songs and
dances from
Macedonia, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The audience heartily
welcomed
the performers, asking for the entire programme to be performed again.
Bonn’s
newspapers are full of numerous compliments as to the artistic quality
of the
concert. During this tour the Ensemble has visited almost all the
larger towns
in West Germany and also many tourist towns.” This article, entitled
“Success
of Tanec in West Germany” appeared in the newspaper ‘Nova Makedonija’
on
October 30, 1956.
“The
folklore experts were interested in
our particular folk dances… perhaps the following can stand out as the
most
successful: “SHOPSKA” (Shopska podripnuvachka – the virtuoso clarinet
soloist
was Tale Ognenovski - remark made by Stevan Ognenovski), “SHOTE” (the
virtuoso
clarinet soloist was Tale Ognenovski - remark made by Stevan
Ognenovski)...” -
Nova Makedonija
“On the 29th of this month, Ensemble Tanec returned from their tour
of West
Germany, where they performed 72 concerts in places and towns. All the
concerts
were sell-outs.... Jonche Hristovski, a member of Ensemble Tanec said,
“We had
17 to18 rounds of applause and we went back on stage. We had
particularly great
success in the larger cities such as Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Gottingen
and
Munich. For instance, in Frankfurt the audience wouldn’t leave us after
the
show ended and they asked for the entire programme to be repeated. The
folklore
experts were interested in our folk dances, in the rhythm of the folk
dances
and songs, the richness of the folk costumes and especially our
authentic folk
instruments. Our shows received a warm welcome from the public.
Audiences were
amazed by the choreography and the different styles of folk dance, and
their
individual rhythm flow. Perhaps the following can stand out as the most
successful: “SHOPSKA “ (‘Shopska podripnuvachka’ - In this Macedonian
folk
dance the virtuoso clarinet soloist was Tale Ognenovski - remark made
by Stevan
Ognenovski), “SHOTE” (In this Albanian folk dance the virtuoso clarinet
solo
was played by Tale Ognenovski - remark made by Stevan Ognenovski),
“VRLIKA” and
“SOBORSKI IGRI” (In these Macedonian folk dances, the virtuoso clarinet
soloist
was Tale Ognenovski - remark made by Stevan Ognenovski)...” Olga
Pesic, a
member of the Ensemble, has commented: “During the entire tour,
Ensemble Tanec
has had the warmest welcome everywhere... Compliments, and also some
photographs from the performances, have appeared in the newspapers of
every
town where we have staged a concert. In every town, tickets for the
concert
were completely sold out before the day of the performance, especially
so in
Munich, where the tickets were sold out 15 days before. Perhaps our
biggest
success was at the concert performed in Bayreuth
Festival
Theatre (German: Bayreuther Festspielhaus is an opera
house north of Bayreuth,
Germany, dedicated solely to the performance of operas by the
19th-century German composer Richard Wagner.

‘Chupurlika’, ‘Shopska Petorka’, ‘Kopachka’, ‘The Shepherds’ Dance
(Ovcharsko
Oro), ‘Drachevka’, ‘Chifte Chamche’and ‘Soborski Igri’, in Macedonian
songs,
Serbian folk dances and songs and ‘SHOTE’, an Albanian folk dance. Tale
Ognenovski was a virtuoso clarinet soloist in ‘Shopska petorka’ but
also an
arranger of the music because he added his own improvisations in some
areas of
the dance. This is the case with other dances that Tale Ognenovski
performed as
virtuoso clarinet and reed pipe soloist. Tanec included, as part of
their tour
of France, two performances in Dortmund, Germany, on September 18 and
19, 1959.
About 7000 people were present at each concert.
“Everyone in
the audience applauded as if they
were four people, and the Macedonian National Ballet left a great
impression in
Bourges…Two
dances in particular were appreciated last night on the stage of the
Grand
Palais, the Dance of the sabre and the dance of the village fair (two
separate
photos are shown, the top one being ‘Dance of the sabre’ and the bottom
being
‘the Dance of village fair).’ (On the right side of the bottom
photograph can
be seen virtuoso clarinet soloist Tale Ognenovski - remark made by
Stevan
Ognenovski).
But the Macedonian dances, once they began, developed from a dead slow
pace and
quickened, becoming a festival of colours, a storm of costumes and a
sports
test allied to the art of folklore.
It must be understood that you have to be professional and have
extraordinary
soul and inspiration for playing ‘Drachevka’ (In this Macedonian folk
dance,
the virtuoso reed pipe soloist was Tale Ognenovski - remark made by
Stevan
Ognenovski), ‘Berovka’ (In this Macedonian folk dance, the virtuoso
clarinet
soloist was Tale Ognenovski - remark made by Stevan Ognenovski) and the
exciting Serbian folk dance (the virtuoso reed pipe soloist was Tale
Ognenovski
- remark made by Stevan Ognenovski).
The audience much liked the dance ‘Roussalies’ as well as the dance
‘Tchifte
Tchamtche’, and lastly ‘Chote’ (‘Shote’; In this Albanian folk dance,
the
virtuoso clarinet soloist was Tale Ognenovski - remark made by Stevan
Ognenovski), a dance of love that is lively and colourful...Tanec is
the name
of this group who have won over the audience. The quality and talent of
this
group is admirable...This is the first time that they have performed in
France... At the end of their concert, the members of Ensemble ‘Tanec’
remained
on stage and were applauded by the Bourges audiences for more than a
quarter of
an hour.” The above comes from an article, entitled “Hier soir au
GRAND-PALAIS
BRILLANTE “PREMIERE” des Ballets de Macedoine” (“Yesterday evening in
GRAND-PALAIS Brilliant first performance of National Ballet of
Macedonia.”),
that appeared in the newspaper ‘Le Berry Republicain’ in Bourges,
France, on
September 24, 1959.
“The
first performance of the National
Ballet of Macedonia was a tremendous success. Everyone in the hall
applauded
with enthusiasm, here in the ‘Grand Palais’ in Bourges at the first
performance
in France of the National Ballet of Macedonia… The first
performance in
Bourges was a spectacle...The members of the National Ballet of
Macedonia
arrived four days ago in Paris and have been shown on television...”

85
Folk groups performed at the Yugoslav (Former Yugoslavia) Folk Music
Festival
in Opatija, Croatia, that took place during the period September 9 to
13, 1951.
They came from Serbia (September 9th, represented by 15 villages),
Bosnia and
Herzegovina (September 10th, represented by 15 villages), Montenegro
(September
11th, represented by 8 villages), Slovenia (September 11th, represented
by 5
villages), Macedonia (September 12th, represented by 23 villages) and
Croatia
(September 13th, represented by 19 villages). “… From the time of
the
conquest of Alexander the Great to the modern era, Macedonia has been
the scene
of dramatic events, brutal invasions and profound social
upheavals…Macedonian
folk music is governed by rhythmic laws and set metres. Foreign
influences, in
so far as they existed, where subjected to the rules of accentuation of
the
Macedonian popular language. The melody is usually symmetrical…Teshkoto
(the
virtuoso clarinet soloist was Tale Ognenovski - remark made by Stevan

heavy
rhythm which is typical of very ancient dances...” This appeared in the

At the Yugoslav (Former Yugoslaviia) Folk
Music Festival in
Opatija, the
Folk Dance group from the Bitola village of Nidzopole from Cultural -
Educational society “Jonche Georgievski” from the Bitola village of
Dihovo in
which Tale Ognenovski was playing as a clarinet soloist, created a
sensation
and received First Award as the best Folk Dance group at the festival.
Tale
Ognenovski, with his masterly playing solo clarinet, deserved the award
together with other members of the group. This was a great success
because in
this Festival participated 85 different folk dance groups from
Macedonia,
Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The
musical
part of the group had only two members: Tale Ognenovski played solo
clarinet
with the accompaniment of drummer Lambe Petrovski. This is a
musical
sensation, to receive the First Award with orchestra consisting of only
two
members. The clarinetist Ognenovski and drummer Petrovski performed
closely
together. The dancers and singers were Vera Cholakovska, Cveta
Petrovska,
Sakjime Alimovska, Nada, Marika, Menan, Sefer, Mirko, Vangel, and
Dimche
Talevski. There was a full house at the concert hall in the
Kvarner hotel
in Opatija, and the audience was fascinated by the music and the three
dances performed
by the Ensemble: ‘Za ramo Teshkoto’, ‘Beranche’ and ‘Vlashko za ramo’
(these
folk dances involved singing by all ten members of the Ensemble). Tale
Ognenovski was arranger of these folk dances and made them more
effective with
his solo improvisations.
“The clarinet
(the virtuoso clarinet soloist was Tale Ognenovski - remark made by
Stevan
Ognenovski) was as effective an accompaniment to the large drum in the
folk
dance from Kozjak as it was to the small drum in the folk dance
‘Teshkoto’ from
Nidzopole. They provided a very effective combination” - Dr. Vinko
Zganec in the cultural newsmagazine ‘Kulturni radnik’ Number 10-11,
published in October 1951 in Zagreb, Croatia, This appeared in
an
article
entitled ‘Yugoslav Musical folklore at the Festival in
Opatija’. The
audience greets the debut of the group from Nidzopole with great
applause...
Delegates at the Conference of the International Folk Music Council in
Opatia
from September 8-14, 1951, were present at this concert. Many of the
world’s
reporters took photos of the members of the group regarding their
excellent
debut and their receiving First Award at this festival (Source: a
letter from
Mr. Mile Petrovski, Bitola, Republic of Macedonia, May 15, 1965, and an
informal interview with Mrs. Vera Cholakovska Petrovska and Mr. Mile

Yugoslavian) Folk Music Festival in Opatija had been specially arranged
for the
members of the Conference of the International Folk Music Council.
“The
Council
has been fortunate in the national setting of its conferences, which
each year

exchanging
views with and learning from our Yugoslav colleagues who have had the
inestimable advantage of studying their folk music tradition whilst it

Tale
Ognenovski’s triumphant success at the
International Folklore Conference in Istanbul, Turkey, 1977.
At the International Folklore Conference organized by the International
Folklore Committee in Istanbul, Turkey, 1977, on the subject of
“Folklore on
the Radio” was Dushko Dimitrovski, Editor of the Folk Music Department
for
“Radio Television Skopje” (now: Macedonian Radio Television) from the
Republic of Macedonia. He was there as a
representative of Yugoslav Radio Television (Former Yugoslavia). He
used records
produced from magnetic tapes to present folklore material in his
presentation
entitled “ ‘Chalgii’ music in Macedonia”. This folklore material
was prepared in Skopje by ethnomusicologists Dushko
Dimitrovski, Kiril Todevski and Metodija Simonovski. From the magnetic
tape
material were presented the recordings of two Macedonian folk dances:
“Kasapsko
oro”, arranged by Tale Ognenovski, and “Kumovo oro cocek”, composed by
Tale
Ognenovski and performed by him as clarinet soloist accompanied by the
“Chalgii” orchestra of Radio Television Skopje. This created great
interest not
only amongst the delegates of the Conference but also around the world.
The
Department of Folk Music from “Belgium Radio” sent a letter to
“Radio Television Skopje” (now: Macedonian Radio Television) asking them
to send them
this folk material so that it could be especially broadcast on “Belgium
Radio”.

“The
prodigy, however, is called Tale Ognenovski…” – From the book entitled:
“For
Our Music” (“За Наша Музика”), 1994, written by Dushko Dimitrovski
“The
prodigy, however, is called Tale Ognenovski… Both Jesus Christ’s: “I
came not
to do away with the Bible, but to fulfil and continue it”, and
Michalangelo’s:
“The Artist must adopt strict, artistic rules at first, to be able to
break
them afterwards”… could well apply to Ognenovski. Absolutely masterly
and
limitless imagination and music inventiveness are only ‘potka’, a
condition, a
starter, tonal ‘organon’, for his creative accomplishments.... As a
virtuoso
playing ‘Chalgija’ music (in his child-hood, as a shepherd, he played
the pipe
(‘kavalche’); later, as an educated musician he played Cavallini, Weber
and
Mozart. Tale Ognenovski, at the same time, navigates himself
effectively all
around the world of classical music. As if the ingenious knowledge
of the
‘chalgija’ universe, but also with the live primordial in the rustic
sound,
together with the vivid, creative touch of the mysteries of European
classical
music idea, had predetermined the outstanding talent of Ognenovski to
make one,
perhaps unconscious, but in musical and historical terms, more than
far-reaching creative step forward. In other words if without telling
in
advance, we approach carefully and analytically the ‘chalgija’ opus
created by
the Maestro, we will discover with surprise and great delight that
Ognenovski
is (probably) the FIRST, and (surely) THE FARTHEST REACHING
contemporary who
first made the connection between the two “UNCONNECTABLE” worlds – the
Orient
and the West - with words and melodies. Tale Ognenovski does not find
it
problematic to start with a motif, a theme, and then to navigate
through all
the labryinths of the archaic and old church styles, so that at in a
certain
section of his improvisation… to decide on a strict, “very
Western-style”
tonality and to bring all that to the starting-point by perfectly
structuring
and observing the style. The impossible becomes possible: two, “usually
non-complimentary” parallel-existing worlds of sounds - Europe - The
Orient –
are in Tale Ognenovski’s music naturally brought closer together,
understand
each other and merge. Has Ognenovski’s ingenuity in advance not
done
something that with the power of empirical palpability and outright
proof, will
convince us that Macedonia - with the power of both worlds of melodies
being
borne and present in her galaxy of sounds - is the one predetermined to
play
the role of a tonal catalyst for the future universal connection and
natural
mixing and circulation of the creative idea of East - West - East?...

Stevan Ognenovski, Mag. Scient. at the promotion of the book entitled:
“Tale

Mag. Scient. in the Cultural Centre "Grigor Prlicev", Ohrid, Republic
of Macedonia on July 9, 2001.
In his book, For Our Music (За
Наша Музика) Dushko Dimitrovski writes: “The
prodigy, however, is called Tale Ognenovski… Both Jesus Christ’s:
“I came
not to do away with the Bible, but to fulfil and continue it”, and
Michalangelo’s: “The Artist must adopt strict, artistic rules at first,
to be
able to break them afterwards”… could well apply to Ognenovski.
Absolutely
masterly and limitless imagination and music inventiveness are only
‘potka’, a condition,
a starter, tonal ‘organon’, for his creative accomplishments.... As a
virtuoso
playing ‘Chalgija’ music (in his child-hood, as a shepherd, he played
the reed pipe
(‘kavalche’); later, as an educated musician he played Cavallini, Weber
and
Mozart. Tale Ognenovski, at the same time, navigates himself
effectively all
around the world of classical music. As if the ingenious knowledge
of the
‘chalgija’ universe, but also with the live primordial in the rustic
sound,
together with the vivid, creative touch of the mysteries of European
classical
music idea, had predetermined the outstanding talent of Ognenovski to
make one,
perhaps unconscious, but in musical and historical terms, more than
far-reaching creative step forward. In other words if without telling
in
advance, we approach carefully and analytically the ‘chalgija’ opus
created by
the Maestro, we will discover with surprise and great delight that
Ognenovski
is (probably) the FIRST, and (surely) THE FARTHEST REACHING
contemporary who
first made the connection between the two “UNCONNECTABLE” worlds – the
Orient
and the West - with words and melodies. Tale Ognenovski does not find
it
problematic to start with a motif, a theme, and then to navigate
through all
the labyrinths of the archaic and old church styles, so that at in a
certain
section of his improvisation… to decide on a strict, “very
Western-style”
tonality and to bring all that to the starting-point by perfectly
structuring
and observing the style. The impossible becomes possible: two, “usually
non-complimentary” parallel-existing worlds of sounds - Europe - The
Orient –
are in Tale Ognenovski’s music naturally brought closer together,
understand
each other and merge. Has Ognenovski’s ingenuity in advance not
done
something that with the power of empirical palpability and outright
proof, will
convince us that Macedonia - with the power of both worlds of melodies
being
borne and present in her galaxy of sounds - is the one predetermined to
play
the role of a tonal catalyst for the future universal connection and
natural
mixing and circulation of the creative idea of East - West - East?...”,

from the Television programme ‘Sunday afternoon’, ‘Macedonian Radio

In
a programme with the title ‘Sunday afternoon’ shown on ‘Macedonian
Radio
Television’ on February 28, 1993, the journalist said about Tale
Ognenovski,
“One clarinet, one life; Half a century of magic with the clarinet; The
clarinet as a life; These are only some of the titles of articles in
the newspapers
that have been written for the clarinet virtuoso Tale Ognenovski who
plays

pieces
of music were included on the programme: Mozart’s ‘Concert in A Major
for
Clarinet and Orchestra K.
“Everything
that has a
connection with the
clarinet and this man is far from ordinary. Perhaps it is a miracle,
this
dexterity; perhaps he is a genius, or something more than that....”
-
Elizabeta Matic on the television programme ‘Good morning, good day’,
Macedonian Radio Television.
On
June 16, 1998, an interview with Tale Ognenovski was recorded for the
television programme ‘Good Day, Macedonia’ on Macedonian Television.
During the
interview, the journalist Tatjana Stojchevska Manchevska asked Tale
Ognenovski
to play some jazz music. He performed some jazz music that he composed
right
there and then without any prior planning. He demonstrated his amazing
musical
talent as a clarinet and reed pipe player and composer performing jazz
music on this
programme.
If
you listen to the music of Tale Ognenovski, this magnificent, unique,
talented
virtuoso of the clarinet and composer of Macedonian folk dances, you
will
imagine an exciting folklore story and sense unparalleled technique in
the
musical expression of this folk genius. With his maestro, solo
improvisations
Tale Ognenovski made performances of Ensemble ‘Tanec’ the most
successful they
could be. The most significant debut in his rich career was in the
famous
Carnegie Hall on January 27, 1956.
“The
artist must adopt the artistic rules perfectly, to be able to break
them
afterwards.” This comment by Michelangelo described the talent that
Tale
Ognenovski possessed...In a perfect way he interpreted Mozart, Wagner
and
Cavallini, and jazz improvisations in the style of Benny Goodman and
Artie
Shaw.
Tale
Ognenovski has composed 150 Macedonian folk dances...”
In
this television programme, Tale Ognenovski said, “I received the First
Award
for Clarinet as the best clarinetist at the First Republic Macedonia
Festival
of Folk Dances and Songs in Skopje in 1948. Then Mr. Vasil Hadzimanov
and Mr.
Nikolaj Galevski from Radio Skopje invited me to become a member of the
Folk
Orchestra in Radio Skopje. I joined the Folk Orchestra of Radio Skopje
for two
months, from November 1,1948, till December 30, 1948. Later, in 1960, I
joined
the Folk Orchestra of Radio Skopje again. I become head of the Folk
Orchestra
of Radio Skopje in 1966 for one year, and then in 1967, I retired.
Later I was
invited by Music Production of Radio Television Skopje to perform as
additional
music force with the ‘Chalgii’ Orchestra. With that Orchestra I had
great
success at the International Folklore Conference in

made my classical music debut in December 1952, playing as clarinet

(1994).
In
his book, For Our Music (За
Наша Музика) Dushko Dimitrovski writes: “The
prodigy, however, is called Tale Ognenovski… Both Jesus Christ’s:
“I came
not to do away with the Bible, but to fulfil and continue it”, and
Michalangelo’s: “The Artist must adopt strict, artistic rules at first,
to be
able to break them afterwards”… could well apply to Ognenovski.
Absolutely
masterly and limitless imagination and music inventiveness are only
‘potka’, a condition,
a starter, tonal ‘organon’, for his creative accomplishments.... As a
virtuoso
playing ‘Chalgija’ music (in his child-hood, as a shepherd, he played
the reed pipe
(‘kavalche’); later, as an educated musician he played Cavallini, Weber
and
Mozart. Tale Ognenovski, at the same time, navigates himself
effectively all
around the world of classical music. As if the ingenious knowledge
of the
‘chalgija’ universe, but also with the live primordial in the rustic
sound,
together with the vivid, creative touch of the mysteries of European
classical
music idea, had predetermined the outstanding talent of Ognenovski to
make one,
perhaps unconscious, but in musical and historical terms, more than
far-reaching creative step forward. In other words if without telling
in
advance, we approach carefully and analytically the ‘chalgija’ opus
created by
the Maestro, we will discover with surprise and great delight that
Ognenovski
is (probably) the FIRST, and (surely) THE FARTHEST REACHING
contemporary who
first made the connection between the two “UNCONNECTABLE” worlds – the
Orient
and the West - with words and melodies. Tale Ognenovski does not find
it
problematic to start with a motif, a theme, and then to navigate
through all
the labyrinths of the archaic and old church styles, so that at in a
certain
section of his improvisation… to decide on a strict, “very
Western-style”
tonality and to bring all that to the starting-point by perfectly
structuring
and observing the style. The impossible becomes possible: two, “usually
non-complimentary” parallel-existing worlds of sounds - Europe - The

with a
calgia and in the more modern style is Tale Ognenovski, born in
1922
and one of
the most influential musicians of the post-war era. He was a member of
the
Tanec group during the 1950s and lead clarinet of the Radio Skopje
calgia. The
composer of many tunes that have become standards, he is today the
leader of
his own group, and a master of the more Westernised style that become
prominent
in the 1940s and 50s. This is the style that still holds sway, and
which is the
basis for Macedonia's own new composed folk music." (pp 203).

Ognenovski's
performance is the most beautiful and the fastest
performance of Mozart's clarinet concerto of all time. In
this
sensational recording the clarinet is accompanied by second clarinet
(performed
and arranged by Tale Ognenovski). Tale Ognenovski performed the
Concerto on a
standard-range A clarinet (Buffet Crampon). Clarinet solo parts of this
recording are performed according to Breitkopf & Hartel edition
(Publisher’s
no.: Nr. 2300). Perhaps this is unique recording where every notes of
measure
numbers III/311-313 from the Third movement: Rondo: Allegro are played
by Tale
Ognenovski exactly as they are written in Breitkopf
& Härtel edition. (Time: 09:29 – 09:34 in this
recording). The full, wonderful sound of the modern A clarinet is rich
and
Ognenovski's playing is superb, with good tempo and intonation
throughout.

THE “Macedonian Radio
Television”
FOLK MUSIC ORCHESTRAS THE FOLK MUSIC ORCHESTRA
...The
basic form in which it presents both songs and dances is the so-called
level of
improvisation which being both inspiring and inventive is relatively
close to
the common folk way of playing music, which in conditions of live
folklore
helps the song not to become petrified. This orchestra also fosters
differing
styles and arrangements. Besides Nikola Galevski, a number of talented
instrumentalists have contributed greatly to the qualitative growth of
this
ensemble. We should certainly mention the names of Angel Nanchevski,
Pero
Jarchev, Kocho Petrovski, Ljupcho Pandilov, Ivan Terziev, Stevo
Teodosiievski,
Tale Ognenovski and Blagoja Deskoski - who is in charge of this
orchestra - and
others.
THE
“CHALGII” ORCHESTRA
...Firmly
principled in its style, and adaptable to the “chalgija” sound of as
many of
our folklore regions as possible, the orchestra has always selected as
its
members the best instrumentalists from all three different “chalgija”
schools,
that is, from the Skopje, Veles and Bitola schools. Its rich repertoire
ranges
from this and last century’s old-town songs and dances to those with
patriotic
motives created during the Liberation war. As “chalgija” is also
characteristic
of the folklore of other nationalities and ethnic groups who live in
Macedonia,
the orchestra has produced many Turkish, Albanian, Vlach and Gypsy
songs and
dances working together with a number of top singers and groups that
cultivate
this style. However, the orchestra’s instrumentalists themselves have
often
successfully managed to blend their own group singing into this
orchestra. To
mention a few: Ordan Hristov, Emin Memedov, Bekir Hadzi Kune, Jashar,
Aki
Memedov-Chun, Taki Najdenov, Koce Pandilov and Tale Ognenovski who has given a true
expression of his rich talent performing with all three different folk
music
orchestras.

He will live on in the Macedonian folk
dances contained on this record. During
the last couple of decades he has
continuously demonstrated his skill at original and superb
interpretation,
displaying the passion of one that is in love, and the style of a
virtuoso. But he has taken this further,
by managing to combine both classical and folk music in the same
performance,
while keeping their particular styles separate. He demonstrated this
while
performing Ernesto Cavallini’s Concert “FIORI ROSSINIANI”, Weber’s
Concert in
ef-mol and Mozart’s Concert in A Major accompanied by Ladislav Palfi on
the
piano and broadcast on Radio Television Skopje.

“Maestro Tale Ognenovski
plays classical music brilliantly (this is the opinion of experts of
classical
music) on the clarinet - Mozart, Weber...etc. He plays everything; it
doesn’t matter how
difficult or complicated it is. In the
records it says of his debut, first with the pianist Nino Cipushev, and
later
with the famous pianist Ladislav Palfi, that the way Tale Ognenovski
plays the
most complicated classic music is on a par with that of the most famous
clarinetists in the world. Experts of
classical music have said that Tale Ognenovski’s skill with the
clarinet is
nowhere near that of the most famous classical music clarinetist in the
world. On the contrary.”

The
majority of the programme of Ensemble Tanec’s German tour comprised of
Macedonian folk dances and songs with the rest made up of Serbian and
Croatian
dances and songs and one Albanian dance. Tale Ognenovski played as
virtuoso
clarinet and reed pipe (“kavalche”) soloist for most of the programme,
in
particular in the Macedonian folk dances ‘A Bride’s Dance (Nevestinsko
Oro)’,
‘Chupurlika’, ‘Shopska Podripnuvachka’, ‘Kopachka’, ‘The Shepherds’
Dance
(Ovcharsko Oro), ‘Soborski Igri’, in Macedonian songs, Serbian folk
dances and
songs and ‘SHOTE’, an Albanian folk dance. Tale Ognenovski was a
virtuoso
clarinet soloist in ‘Shopska petorka’ but also an arranger of the music
because
he added his own improvisations in some areas of the dance. This is the
case
with other dances that Tale Ognenovski performed as virtuoso clarinet
and reed pipe
soloist.

this was the clarinetist Tale Ognenovski. This was a very important

Macedonian dances, once they began, developed from a dead slow pace and

‘Tchifte

The
French audiences were enraptured not only by the dances but also by the
extraordinary richness of the costumes. The thirty members of the
Ensemble had
with them some 400 costumes. The
performance was two and a half hours long with just one 15-minute break
halfway
through. There were no breaks between each separate act, so the stage
was
always full of dance. The critics in the
French Press were full of compliments about Tanec’s tour. It’s enough
just to

Tale
Ognenovski. For his music and his 87th birthday April 27, 2009 he

any that
I have gained during my career, including the top for me - award
"October
11", the
highest and the most prestigious national award in Republic of Macedonia” - tells
us Tale Ognenovski at the meeting which we had at his home in
Skopje ... Tale Ognenovski is constantly surrounded by the love of his
son
Stevan Ognenovski and daughter in law Margarita Ognenovska… At the
request of
the Director of Macedonian National Ensemble for Folk Dances and Songs
"Tanec" Emanuel Chuchkov, the young clarinetist Tale Ognenovski,
then the member of Police Wind Orchestra of Republic of Macedonia was
loaned to
the ensemble as strengthening his United States of America tour in
1956.
Ensemble will hold 66 concerts and the tour began with show (20 minute
concert)
on one of the most popular television programmes in the United States, the
Ford
Foundation TV Programme "OMNIBUS", ", shown on
CBS (Columbia
Broadcasting System) Television Network on January
22, 1956. This
programme was seen by millions of Americans. – “A copy of this
programme may be
viewed free of charge on a videocassette at the Library of Congress in
Washington, D.C. and would be good for us in Republic of Macedonia
to have a
copy” - says Stevan Ognenovski… So begins and concert
activity of Tale Ognenovskii with Macedonian
National Ensemble for Folk Dances and Songs "Tanec" and other companies and orchestras that allowed him
to play at the most famous concert venues in the world. Until the
seventies of
the last century he performed with the orchestras of Macedonian Radio
Television

Instruments, "Chalgii"
Orchestra and in “Tancov” Orchestra. Meanwhile Tale Ognenovski
established his
own "Tale Ognenovski Orchestra", that continues to make music ... His
dances are performed in Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Great Britain,
Denmark,
Austria ... The most famous dances composed by Tale Ognenovski are:
Brusnichko Oro,
Kasapsko Oro, Kumovo Oro Chochek, Talevo Svadbarsko Oro, Bitolsko Oro,
Resensko
Oro, Pelistersko Oro, Bukovsko Svadbarsko Oro ... Two dances devoted to
his wife
Nevena Ognenovska: Nevenino Oro and Nevenino Lavchansko Oro…“We had a
wonderful mother Nevena Ognenovska
who took care not to feel his commitment and his absences due his
concerts
worldwide. She was a very supportive to my father in his career” - says
his son

Dear
Tale and Stevan.
Today
I have about 60 Macedonian folk dances - ORA from Tale Ognenovski. His
music
must live forever. Tale’s music touches my HEART and SOUL. Sometimes
when I
listen to his music there are tears from my eyes running down my face.
Nobody
in the world can play the clarinet like Tale. I have listened to a lot
of
clarinet music from many countries but nobody comes close to Tale. He
is simply
the BEST. When I was a little boy in
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST CLARINETIST IN THE WORLD!
(April 10, 1999)...
As
I drive in my car to and from my business and other places throughout
the day,
I spend 11/2 hours each day listening to Tale’s music. Tale is my hero.
His
music is incredible. His approach to every note is so unique. His
improvisations and solos are out of this world, and no one can even
come close.
It is true that when listening to Tale, his music takes you to
different worlds
and different dimensions. I feel very special and lucky to have friends
like
you, and being touched so deeply by Tale’s music (December 21, 1999)...

“After
listening to the CD: "MOZART
and OGNENOVSKI Clarinet Concertos" for few days, I have come to a
conclusion that this is the best clarinet concertos in the
world… no
one can play the clarinet with such perfection, clean tone, variations,
curves
and improvisation (without losing the original piece or composition),
like
musical Genius Maestro Tale Ognenovski can…

he produces reveals just how beautifully the clarinet can be played… He is
the
greatest clarinetist of all time, demonstrating unique skill, a

virtuosity, and
his originality with a clarinet have made him a brilliant cult hero, a

biographer is his son Stevan Ognenovski, who wrote the book ''Tale Ognenovski Virtuoso of the Clarinetand

composed by Tale Ognenovski).
Dushko

ethnomusicologist and reviewer of the book, writes: "This book can be
distinguished
from others by the way research has been extraordinarily complete and
scrupulously conducted. An enormous number of richly illustrated
moments in his
life and the creative style of Tale Ognenovski make it possible for
everyone to
see the extraordinary values and dimensions of this artistic person as
one of
the most important instrumental maestros in the world and a uniquely
creative
musician."

and reviewer of the book, writes: "In the first chapter the author,
using
selected materials, has included biographical data and individual

about Tale Ognenovski's performances, as well as significant statements
about
his contribution towards the common proclamation of our cultural values
with
Ensemble "Tanec" on their mammoth tours in the United States of
America, Canada and Germany in 1956, followed by the tours in France
and
Switzerland in 1959. Perhaps the most significant of his performances
with
Ensemble "Tanec" was the one in the famous Carnegie Hall in America."
Promotion of

Erika
Borsos: “My
favorite tunes are the folk dances which
demonstrate his innovative skills using the minor musical scale, unique
rhythms
and melodies that predominate in the Balkans. The titles of the tunes,
"Brusnichko Oro", "Nevenino Oro", "Bukovsko svadbarski
oro", "Talevo kasaspsko oro" ... sound as mysterious and
enticing as the music itself. Spine-tingling sensations arise as one
listens to
the spiralling musical notes played with so much passion and talent…
Track # 8
"Stevchevo Oro" is a unique blend of sounds created by the reed
pipes, small bagpipe, and zourla which alternate on different musical
paths …Track
# 10, "Tale Ognenvovski Concert for Clarinet No. 1", is an amazing
musical labyrinth, an extravaganza of magnificent proportions and
dimensions…” (https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000Y8HXS/qid=1068816978/sr=8-4/ref=sr_8_4/104-9748987-8087112?v=glance&s=music&n=507846 )
Reviewer
Neil Horner of the MusicWeb International
comments: "He is undoubtedly an exceptional artist and the predominant
image created in my mind is of Benny Goodman playing the superb
Contrasts he
commissioned Bartók to write for him, but with a folk rather
than a classical
emphasis… Also, despite the CD promising jazz, folk and classical, it
really
all comes under the umbrella of his conception of how the elements
interlink,
with some but not major differences of emphasis…This disc is likely to
appeal
to world music aficionados who enjoy the Balkan/Levantine
soundworld and
perhaps also those who care to hear the source musics of their
classical
favourites, the aforementioned Bartók but also,
here, perhaps people like Skalkottas."
The
blaring reed pipes also occasionally put this listener in mind of
the bombardes of
his beloved Breton bagadou…” (http://www.musicweb-international.com/classRev/2003/Nov03/Ognenovski.htm )

Erika
Borsos:
"This reviewer is familiar with the three B's of classical music: Bach,
Beethoven, and Brahms and can distinguish their styles, one can *now*
add a
fourth "B" which stands for "Balkan" as played by Tale
Ognenovski. Mr. Ognenovski plays Mozart with his own inimitable
personal style
making the classical music take on mysterious and exotic
characteristics and
overtones… Ognenovski explodes with passion as he performs his own
"Tale
Ognenovski Concerto for Clarinet No. 1" ... The labyrinthine musical
pathways he creates are enormously pleasing to the listener. The
pentatonic
scale and odd metered rhythms of Macedonia awaken the listener to new
vistas of
musical excitement and enjoyment. Anyone who loves jazz improvisation
and the
sounds of the clarinet will immediately recognize the superior
creativity, breath
control and complete mastery of this instrument as played by Mr.
Ognenovski…" (https://www.amazon.com/MOZART-OGNENOVSKI-Clarinet-Concertos-Ognenovski/dp/B000ENV2BE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1303097678&sr=1-1

CD: ''Mozart
Clarinet
Concerto in A, K. 622 Arranged for Two Clarinets by Tale Ognenovski''
Stevan
Ognenovski, the only son of clarinetist and composer
Tale Ognenovski and Nevena Ognenovska, on the base of recording of
"Mozart
Clarinet Concerto in A Major, K.622"
from 2005 (CD:''Mozart and Ognenovski Clarinet Concertos''),
arranged in
2015 nine new tracks with two clarinets, first clarinet and second
clarinet
performed by Tale Ognenovski. In this recording Tale Ognenovski
performed with
first, second and two clarinets. Tale Ognenovski performed on a
standard-range
A clarinet, Buffet Crampon, System Boehm, Model No. 1.
Perhaps this
is unique recording when clarinetist (Tale
Ognenovski) used two clarinets simultaneously with two different
arrangements.
In other words: used two clarinets by a single performer (Tale
Ognenovski) -
Playing the first clarinet with first arrangement and second clarinet
with second
arrangement that's played simultaneously – by one performer (Tale
Ognenovski).
In reality these three tracks: "Mozart Clarinet Concerto in A, K. 622
Allegro Arranged for Two Clarinets by Tale Ognenovski"; "Mozart
Clarinet Concerto in A, K. 622 Adagio Arranged for Two Clarinets by
Tale
Ognenovski" and "Mozart Clarinet Concerto in A, K. 622 Rondo Allegro
Arranged for Two Clarinets by Tale Ognenovski" were made by mixing one
audio recording with clarinet performance according to the arrangement
for
first clarinet (performed by Tale Ognenovski) and separate audio
recording
(performed by Tale Ognenovski) with clarinet performance according to
the
arrangement for second clarinet. It was possible to make a mix of two
audio
recording with arrangements for the first and second clarinet
(performed by
Tale Ognenovski) thanks to the excellent synchronization of performance
of the
arrangement for the second clarinet by clarinetist Tale Ognenovski
while he
simultaneously listening to the tape of his performance on the clarinet
with
the arrangement for the first clarinet.
When
you listen these three tracks:
Track 4 – “Mozart Clarinet Concerto in A, K. 622 Allegro Arranged for
Two
Clarinets by Tale Ognenovski”
Track 5 – “Mozart Clarinet Concerto in A, K. 622 Adagio Arranged for
Two
Clarinets by Tale Ognenovski”
Track 6 – “Mozart Clarinet Concerto in A, K. 622 Rondo Allegro Arranged
for Two
Clarinets by Tale Ognenovski”
of the Digital Music Audio CD entitled: “Mozart Clarinet Concerto in A,
K. 622
Arranged for Two Clarinets by Tale Ognenovski” you will have impression
that
Tale Ognenovski uses two clarinets simultaneously with two different
arrangements.
Performed
by Tale Ognenovski, Clarinet (Tracks: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) and
Stevan

Amadeus
Mozart, Arranged by Tale Ognenovski and Stevan Ognenovski – Tracks: 1,
2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Tracks:

“Mozart

8. “Mozart Clarinet Concerto in A, K. 622 Adagio Arranged for Second

by Tale Ognenovski” and 9. “Mozart Clarinet Concerto in A, K. 622 Rondo
Allegro
Arranged for Second Clarinet by Tale Ognenovski”
Tale
Ognenovski and his
son Stevan Ognenovski arranged for two clarinets [[Clarinet Concerto
(Mozart)|Clarinet Concerto in A Major, K.622]], composed by Wolfgang
Amadeus
Mozart and recorded the albums ''Mozart
and Ognenovski Clarinet Concertos'' and
''Mozart Clarinet Concerto in A, K. 622 Arranged for Two Clarinets by
Tale
Ognenovski'' . Perhaps these two albums
are unique recordings of this concert with two clarinets where first
clarinet
with first arrangement and second clarinet with second arrangement
that's
played simultaneously – by one performer (Tale Ognenovski).

CHAPTER:
“ENSEMBLE “TANEC” IN NORTH
AMERICA
Musical genius Tale Ognenovski performed in the world-famous
Carnegie
Hall as clarinet and reed pipe (“kavalche”) virtuoso soloist. His
phenomenal
success in Ensemble ‘Tanec’s’ 66-concert tour of the United States and
Canada
in 1956 launched a new era in his highly successful, 75-year career.
The zenith
of his career was his historic performance with Ensemble ‘Tanec’ at the
concert
in Carnegie Hall on January 27, 1956. This concert by Tale Ognenovski
and the
Ensemble is one of the most celebrated events in the history of
Carnegie
Hall, and it marked the acceptance by the American public of
Macedonian,
Serbian, Croatian and Albanian Folk Dances and Songs. Ecstatic applause
followed Ensemble ‘Tanec’s successes throughout North America. At the
end of
concerts, the audiences surrounded the members of Ensemble “Tanec”,
congratulated them for their display of tremendous skill, and asked for
their
autographs. Many of them told Tale Ognenovski that he was the number
one
clarinetist. “spectacle … stunning show that any set of spectators
would find
hard to resist … thousand different shades of dynamics … rapidity …
conscious
virtuosity … the broken circles of the kolo of the Macedonian mountains
…
curious musical instruments that accompany many of the dances … a
dateless reed
pipe …” This comes from an article written by music critic John Martin,
entitled
"THE DANCE: FOLK ART; Group From Yugoslavia In Impressive Debut
Learning
vs. Magic No Macedonian Monopoly The Week's Events" and published in
the
The New York Times on February
5, 1956, p. 114. (The virtuoso reed pipe soloist was Tale
Ognenovski –
remark made by Stevan Ognenovski). http://www.taleognenovski.mk/newyorktimes1956.html

BIOGRAPHY
AND MUSIC NOTATION OF COMPOSITIONS
OF
MACEDONIAN FOLK DANCES, JAZZ AND CLASSICAL
MUSIC.
INTRODUCTION
Tale Ognenovski is one of the greatest
instrumentalists and composers in the world of music. He made the
connection
between Oriental and Western Music.
He has composed and arranged 300
Macedonian folk
dances, one classical concert “Tale Ognenovski Clarinet Concerto No.1”
and a
number of jazz compositions. Some of his compositions have been
recorded on 11
LPs, 11 cassettes, 10 gramophone records, and one videotape (RTB,
Jugoton, RTS,
and MRT). Tale Ognenovski’s numerous musical works belong to different
genres;
together, his folk dances and classical and jazz compositions
established the
clarinet as an instrument capable of the highest range of expression in
solo
music.
Ognenovski’s compositions are extremely
skilful and
he exploits the sounds of different sounding registers of the
instrument very
effectively. He is one of the greatest exponents of composers of
clarinet music
and is the finest exponent of players of the clarinet. His performances
are
superb, and the sound he produces reveals just how beautifully the
clarinet can
be played.
Tale Ognenovski’s Macedonian folk dances
have been
performed in Switzerland (Mechanlizenz), France (Sacem), Sweden (Gema),
Finland
(Teosto), Great Britain, Denmark and Austria.
He has appeared with the Macedonian
Ensemble of
Folk Dances and Songs ‘Tanec’ on the world’s most prestigious concert
stages
during highly successful tours throughout North America and Europe. The
group
became a major attraction in every major city during the tours.
Legendary artist Tale Ognenovski
performed as
clarinet and pipe soloist in Folk Dances in the world-famous Carnegie
Hall, a
symbol of artistic excellence, on January 27, 1956. There, he bewitched
the
audience with his performances as clarinet and pipe virtuoso soloist.
“There are some winning songs, too, and
some
remarkable music on both orthodox and unorthodox instruments - a
raucous and
unforgettable pipe (virtuoso pipe (“kavalche”) and the clarinet soloist
was
Tale Ognenovski – a remark made by the author)... From an article
written by
John Martin and published in The New York Times, January 28, 1956,
under the
title: “Ballet: Yugoslav Folk Art ‘Tanec’ Dancers Appear at Carnegie
Hall in
Display of Tremendous Skill”
During an 84-day tour throughout the
United States
of America and Canada, Ensemble ‘Tanec’ travelled 10,000 kilometres and
performed 66 concerts in 53 different towns. These concerts were
heralded as
great cultural events by the American press. This particular tour is
one of the
longest and the most triumphant tours in the history of world music.
Ensemble
‘Tanec’ twice repeated this great success, first with their tour of
Germany
from August 15 until October 27, 1956 during which they performed 72
concerts
and second, with their tour of France from September 20 until November
25, 1959
during which they performed 83 concerts. There were two further
concerts in
Dortmund, Germany on September 18 and 19, 1959.
Raymond Guillier, director of his own
company (“Les
grands spectacles internationaux Les productions Raymond Guillier”) and
manager
of Ensemble ‘Tanec’s 1959 tour of France, commented that no other
Ensemble in
the world could perform Macedonian folklore as well as ‘Tanec’, because
every
Macedonian girl and boy from the Ensemble gave their whole heart to the
Dance,
and a prime example of this was the clarinetist Tale Ognenovski. This
was a
particularly notable comment, since Raymond Guillier had organized many
concerts in Paris and elsewhere in France for some of the best
Ensembles in the
world.
In December 1952, Tale Ognenovski played
a solo
clarinet accompaniment with the outstanding pianist Nino Cipushev. They
performed the classical concert “Concert Polka for Clarinet” by Miler
Bela in
the “Police House” in Skopje with great success. Bela’s concert
consists of
complicated parts that demand great virtuosity, and many cadenzas that
are
difficult to perform. Tale Ognenovski performed this concert
magnificently, and
in doing so became the first clarinet soloist to perform a classical
concert
for the clarinet in the Republic of Macedonia. This was a memorable
event in
the country’s history of music.
Tale Ognenovski performed as clarinet
soloist in
concerts broadcast on Macedonian Television: firstly, Mozart’s
‘Clarinet
Concerto in A Major K.622’ and Wagner’s ‘Adagio for Clarinet’ (1987)
with the
excellent pianist Tanja Shopova playing the piano accompaniment and
secondly,
Cavallini’s concert ‘Fiori Rossiniani’ (1970) with the legendary
pianist
Professor Ladislav Palfi playing piano accompaniment. In all of these,
Tale
Ognenovski demonstrated brilliance, technique and beautiful tone.
He learned to play many different
instruments:
besides the clarinet and pipe (“kavalche”), he played the saxophone,
the horn
(“zurla”), the oboe, the small bagpipe (“gajdarka”), the fagot and the
drum
(“tapan”) with great dexterity. He was the greatest clarinetist of all
time,
demonstrating unique skill, a wealth of invention, amazing
improvisational
virtuosity and outstanding musical competence in all areas of music.
As a virtuoso clarinet soloist in the
film “Ritam i
zvuk” (Rhythm and Sound), 1955, he performed various Macedonian folk
dances
such as “Zhensko Chamche”, “Beranche” and others with Ensemble ‘Tanec’.
The
producers of this film were “Vardar Film”. In the film, the Macedonian
folk
dance “Zhensko Chamche” begins with some highly technical solo
improvisations
by Tale Ognenovski that don’t exist in the original version of the folk
dance.
The International Folklore Committee
organised the
International Folklore Conference, held in Istanbul, Turkey, in 1977.
Under the
heading “Folklore on the Radio” magnetic tapes of two Macedonian folk
dances
were presented: “Kasapsko oro” (folk music, arranger Tale Ognenovski)
and
“Kumovo oro cocek” (composer Tale Ognenovski) performed by Tale
Ognenovski,
clarinet soloist, accompanied by the “Chalgii” Orchestra of Radio
Television
Skopje. These attracted great interest among the delegates of the IFC
around
the world.
Tale Ognenovski received numerous awards
and
honours, all amongst the most prestigious in the world of performing
arts. The
most significant awards were:
1.) First Award Clarinet as the best
clarinetist at
the First Macedonian Festival of Folk Dances and Songs, Skopje, October
6-10,
1948, ahead of musicians from 453 folk dance groups. “The First Award
Clarinet
was received by Tale Ognenovski from Bitola…” appeared under the title
“Awards
received by choirs, folk dance and song groups, solo singers and
players who
participated at the first Republic of Macedonia Festival of Folk Dances
and
Songs”, published in the newspaper “Nova Makedonija” on October 13,
1948.

2.) First Award at the Yugoslav (Former
Yugoslavia)
Folk Music Festival in Opatija, Croatia, September 9-12, 1951, together
with 11
other members of the folk dance group from the Bitola village of
Nidzopole,
ahead of 85 folk dance groups from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Montenegro,
Slovenia, Macedonia and Croatia. In the cultural newspaper “Kulturni
radnik”
Number 10-11, published in October 1951 in Zagreb, Croatia, Dr. Vinko
Zganec
wrote, under the title, “Yugoslav Musical folklore at the Festival in
Opatija”,
“the clarinet (the virtuoso clarinet soloist was Tale Ognenovski -
remark made
by the author) and the large drum provided a most effective combination
for the
folk dance from Kozjak, as did the clarinet with the small drum for the
folk
dance “Teshkoto” from Nidzopole. The Yugoslav Folk Music Festival in
Opatija
had been specially arranged for the members of the Conference of the
International Folk Music Council. “...We were privileged to see and
hear for
ourselves the beauty and variety of Yugoslav folk art at the wonderful
Festival
which had been especially arranged for the members of the
Conference...there
were moments during the Festival performances when we could recognize
the magic
of song and dance...an astonishing pageant of costume and custom, of
ritual and
social dance, of songs and instrument playing by 700 performers...”
These
comments appeared under the headings: “EDITORIAL” and “SOME IMPRESSIONS
OF THE YUGOSLAV
CONFERENCE AND FESTIVAL”, published in the Journal of the International
Folk
Music Council, Vol. IV, pages 1-2, London, March, 1952.
3.) “Estradna nagrada Jugoslavije”
(“Yugoslavian
Stage Award”), the greatest award in former Yugoslavia for musical
stage
artists, from the Association of Stage Artists of Yugoslavia, (signed
by the
composer Miljenko Prohaska), Zagreb, Croatia, October 31, 1978.
4.) “Pocheshna Estradna Nagrada na
Makedonija”
(“Macedonian Stage Award with Honours”), the greatest award in the
Republic of
Macedonia for musical stage artists, from the Association of Stage
Artists of
Macedonia, (signed by Bozhidar Noev), Skopje, Republic of Macedonia,
May 27,
1996.
Tale Ognenovski’s recordings for Radio
Television
Belgrade, Jugoton and Macedonian Radio Television are unique
compositions based
on Macedonian folk music but in places influenced by oriental, jazz and
classical music. His pieces have a highly complex pattern of rhythm and
attractive melody that is incomparable with any other kind of music
known
today. Tale Ognenovski’s contributions to world music are enormous. His
remarkable music of consistently high quality is unique.
On February 25, 1999, the Tale Ognenovski
Web site
http://www.taleognenovski.com.mk/index.html was
listed on
Anne Bell’s Clarinet Website Index on the Internet under
http://www.sneezy.org/anne_bell/ABCClar.htm,
together with another 20 world famous clarinetists. The actual address

Ognenovski, to my
lovely wife Margarita and to my dear sons Nikola and Kliment for their
support
and understanding during my writing this biography.

THE SKOPJE RADIO AND TELEVISION FOLK
MUSIC
ORCHESTRAS
THE FOLK MUSIC ORCHESTRA
...The basic form in which it presents
both songs
and dances is the so-called level of improvisation which being both
inspiring
and inventive is relatively close to the common folk way of playing
music,
which in conditions of live folklore helps the song not to become
petrified.
This orchestra also fosters differing styles and arrangements. Besides
Nikola
Galevski, a number of talented instrumentalists have contributed
greatly to the
qualitative growth of this ensemble. We should certainly mention the
names of
Angel Nanchevski, Pero Jarchev, Kocho Petrovski, Ljupcho Pandilov, Ivan
Terziev, Stevo Teodosiievski, Tale Ognenovski and Blagoja Deskoski -
who is in
charge of this orchestra - and others.
THE “CHALGII” ORCHESTRA
...Firmly principled in its style, and
adaptable to
the “chalgija” sound of as many of our folklore regions as possible,
the
orchestra has always selected as its members the best instrumentalists
from all
three different “chalgija” schools, that is, from the Skopje, Veles and
Bitola
schools. Its rich repertoire ranges from this and last century’s
old-town songs
and dances to those with patriotic motives created during the
Liberation war.
As “chalgija” is also characteristic of the folklore of other
nationalities and
ethnic groups who live in Macedonia, the orchestra has produced many
Turkish,
Albanian, Vlach and Gypsy songs and dances working together with a
number of
top singers and groups that cultivate this style. However, the
orchestra’s
instrumentalists themselves have often successfully managed to blend
their own
group singing into this orchestra. To mention a few: Ordan Hristov,
Emin
Memedov, Bekir Hadzi Kune, Jashar, Aki Memedov-Chun, Taki Najdenov,
Koce
Pandilov and Tale Ognenovski who has given a true expression of his
rich talent
performing with all three different folk music orchestras.
“spectacle …
stunning
show that any set of spectators would find hard to resist … thousand
different
shades of dynamics … rapidity … conscious virtuosity … the broken
circles of
the kolo of the Macedonian mountains … curious musical instruments that
accompany
many of the dances … a dateless reed pipe …” This comes from an article
written
by music critic John Martin, entitled "THE DANCE: FOLK ART; Group From
Yugoslavia In Impressive Debut Learning vs. Magic No Macedonian
Monopoly The
Week's Events" and published in the The New York Times on February 5,
1956, p. 114. (The virtuoso reed pipe soloist was Tale Ognenovski –

Reviewer Neil Horner of the MusicWeb International comments, "Tale Ognenovski is undoubtedly an exceptional artist and the predominant image created in my mind is of Benny Goodman playing the superb Contrasts he commissioned Bartók to write for him, but with a folk rather than a classical emphasis… Also, despite the CD promising jazz, folk and classical, it really all comes under the umbrella of his conception of how the elements interlink, with some but not major differences of emphasis…This disc is likely to appeal to world music aficionados who enjoy the Balkan/Levantine soundworld and perhaps also those who care to hear the source musics of their classical favourites, the aforementioned Bartók but also, here, perhaps people like Skalkottas." - CD Review entitled: ”Tale OGNENOVSKI (b.1922) Musical genius: Jazz, Macedonian Folk Dances and Classical Music” http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2003/Nov03/Ognenovski.htm Amazon.com Audio CD

Sensational
clarinet jazz music. CD “Macedonian
Clarinet Jazz Composed By Tale Ognenovski” will became something of
a phenomenon. Variety of phrasing, spectacular clarinet solos are both
interesting and fascinating for people to listen to and to admire. Each
piece on this album is rhythmically complex. The exploration of
Macedonian music traditions with a jazz sensibility is remarkable. The
sound is quite simply phenomenal. Ognenovski's music is timeless. Tale
Ognenovski was obviously way ahead of his time, and it is a classic
that will be around forever… Tale Ognenovski has opened up new
possibilities for the clarinet that no one could have predicted…” All

“The
impossible becomes possible: two, ‘usually
non-complimentary’ parallel-existing worlds of sounds – Europe – The
Orient –
are, in Tale Ognenovski’s music, naturally brought closer together,
understand
each other and merge...” - Dushko Dimitrovski, book (“За
Наша Музика” /
“For
Our Music”, Bitola, Republic of Macedonia
The
prodigy, however, is called Tale Ognenovski… As a virtuoso playing
‘Chalgija’
music (in his child-hood, as a shepherd, he played the reed pipe
(‘kavalche’);
later, as an educated musician he played Cavallini, Weber and Mozart.
Tale
Ognenovski, at the same time, navigates himself effectively all around
the
world of classical music… Tale Ognenovski does not find it
problematic to
start with a motif, a theme, and then to navigate through all the
labyrinths of
the archaic and old church styles, so that at in a certain section of
his
improvisation… to decide on a strict, “very Western-style” tonality and
to
bring all that to the starting-point by perfectly structuring and
observing the
style. The impossible becomes possible: two, “usually
non-complimentary”
parallel-existing worlds of sounds - Europe - The Orient – are in Tale
Ognenovski’s music naturally brought closer together, understand each
other and
merge. Has Ognenovski’s ingenuity in advance not done something
that with the power of
empirical palpability and outright proof, will convince us that
Macedonia -
with the power of both worlds of melodies being borne and present in
her galaxy
of sounds - is the one predetermined to play the role of a tonal
catalyst for
the future universal connection and natural mixing and circulation of
the
creative idea of East - West - East?”, wrote Dushko Dimitrovski in his
book
“For Our Music” (“За
Наша Музика” /
“Za
naša
muzika”) ISBN 9989-600-01-5, published by BID “Misirkov”, 1994, pp.
