... And indeed, Vahid Matejko has put together here an extremely interesting selection of traditionals and original compositions for two clarinets, which proves his class as an authentic composer and arranger. There are nine arrangements of Albanian, Bulgarian, Greek, Croatian, Macedonian, Romanian, Serbian and Turkish folk songs next to eleven successful original compositions in the respective style of the stylistic regions in which Matejko proves to be a pronounced expert of the matter... Thus, Vahid Matejko's "Balkan Duets for Clarinet" provide not only a very informative introduction to this subject, but also an extremely attractive performance repertoire for two clarinets. Highly recommended !
