On the way Bulgaria
In the spring of 2008, Alejandro Sánchez-Navarro traveled to eastern Europe with the purpose of recording some of his symphonic works. The journey turned out to be a success when he met in Sofia wonderful symphonic musicians who were immersed in a growing industry of symphony recordings, in particular dedicated to the movie industry.
The maestro’s recordings took place at the National Radio Recording Symphony Hall, one of Europe’s best studios, with the collaboration of a splendid group of managers, producers and engineers, which resulted in the Ten Dances of Neo Symphonic Fusion, which are destined to travel around the world.

Recording in Sofia: Neosymphonic Dances
WHY EAST EUROPE
As you know, some of the music I have written is intended to be performed in synchronicity with films about Nature. I was looking for quality and an affordable budget, and after some extensive international research, I found that Bulgaria offers quality, experience and a competitive budget, making it worth coming so far.
BULGARIAN MUSICIANS
The Bulgarian recording was an extraordinary experience. The Sofia Metropolitan Orchestra consists of a group of extremely talented musicians, and so is the splendid group the Golden Voices of Sofia.
The musicians were more than happy to see the red light of dawn, as they are very used to going from one recording session to another and another. Even though I do not speak Bulgarian, they could communicate in English and we had a very harmonic relationship

BALKAN PRODUCTION AND OPERATION
When you travel to such a distant country, you need to find someone with very strong background and experience recording symphonic music, but also someone you can trust. I found those qualities in a master musician, Christo Pavlov, a member of the National Radio Orchestra, and a businessman who offers a wide variety of quality services that virtually cover every aspect of the recording operation.

MIXING TIME
The first part of the mixing took place at the studio of Histro Yotzov, who is one of the best classical music drummers in Bulgaria and he played drum sets and percussions in the recording of Dances. The second part of the mixing was at the private studio of sound engineer Gregory Gogov, in Dusseldorf, Germany, where we finished the process and mastered the record.

THE FILMS
As you know, we have been performing concerts all over Mexico carrying on with our awakening of local citizens to the powers of Nature. Yes, nature turns me on, nature seduces me and turns my mind into a cascade of sounds. We work with filmmakers who love to film every aspect of nature, and we also have some HD engines to create our own films, an example of which is Paradise, an exuberant and mysterious work of art.
