ALBUM RELEASE11/07/2024
„Himmel über Adelsheim“ zum Strahlen gebracht”: [...] Berührend der kraftvolle Chorgesang, der innige Geborgenheit, Heimat und Nähe greifbar machte, ebenso wie die gefühlvolle Begleitung des Kammerorchesters unter Viktoriia Vitrenkos temperamentvollem Dirigat, das im Übrigen alle Rap-Songs musikalisch mitgestaltete. [...] Scheinbar mühelos in Klanghöhen katapultiert, erwartete Vitrenko und ihren Duettpartner „wie eine trübe Wolke“ eine düstere „Einsamkeit.“ [...] Klassische Streicherklänge, fetzige Rhythmen, auf der Leinwand ein Blick in eine Zelle und immer wieder das Wort „Paradies“ sowie die flehentliche Bitte: „Es tut mir leid, Mama, verzeihe mir“, gingen unter die Haut und ließen die Funken auf’s Publikum überspringen.

PRESS08/07/2024
“Der lange Weg ins Paradies” [...] Die Musikerinnen und Musiker spielen allerdings virtuos und mit einer Emphase, die auch Viktoriia Vitrenko als temperamentvolle Dirigentin einfordert. Sie nähert sich beiden Musikstilen mit extrem präzisen Gesten (was die Jugendlichen unbedingt brauchen), aber auch hoch emotional. … Hinter Rap, Schubert und Smetanas erstem Streichquartett ist eine Sehnsucht: nach Freiheit, nach Vergebung, nach Nähe und Zärtlichkeit. Im einstimmigen Duett mit Noel verleiht Viktoriia Vitrenko Schuberts “Einsamkeit” eine anrührende Zerbrechlichkeit.

Die bulgarische Volksmusik ist stark: identitätsstiftendes Kulturgut, nationales Symbol, etwas, worauf die Menschen stolz sind. Darf man diese Musik in einen neuen Kontext stellen? Traditionelle Lieder als Ausgangspunkt nehmen für modernes Komponieren? Das Goethe-Institut Bulgarien hat dazu aufgefordert – mit seinem Projekt "Present Past".
