Folk Dances and Songs, 1948
“The First Award for Clarinet was received by Tale Ognenovski from
Bitola.”
This comment appeared in the newspaper ‘Nova Makedonija’ published on
October
13, 1948. The report was entitled ‘Awards for folk dances and songs,
solo
singers and players who participated at the First Republic of Macedonia
Festival of Folk Dances and Songs’.
One of the highpoints of Tale Ognenovski’s successes was his
participation in a
competition during the ‘Republic of Macedonia Festival of Folk Dances
and
Songs’ during the period 6-10 October, 1948. 453 Folk dances and songs
groups
competed in the festival in Skopje, Republic of Macedonia. He was a

Tale
Ognenovski’s First Award at the Yugoslav
(Former Yugoslavia) Folk Music Festival in Opatija, Croatia, Former
Yugoslavia,
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 (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
Ognenovski) from Nidzopole (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 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.

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’.

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. IFMC - The International Folk Music Council was established in
1947 in
London, UK. “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’,

“…
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 Ognenovski) from Nidzopole (Bitola) means
‘heavy’, and
indicates the heavy rhythm which is typical of very ancient dances...” This

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,
you
must buy it - After hearing this great artist, I was absolutely
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
world of clarinetists… ”
Amazon.com reviewer: A New Standard has

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

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

“In honor of the jubilee, the 250th anniversary of the birth of the music genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (January 27, 1756 - January 27, 2006) was released a CD album of the musical genius Tale Ognenovski titled "MOZART and OGNENOVSKI Clarinet Concertos". On this day, January 27 is another great jubilee for him, and for the Macedonian culture, 50 years of the performance of Tale Ognenovski at Carnegie Hall in New York, together with the Macedonian National Ensemble for Folk Dances and Songs "Tanec“ where, according to the reaction of the audience and the writing of the American stamp, achieved a sensational success. Ognenovski is regarded as a musical genius, the greatest instrumentalist of the clarinet, reed pipe (“kavalche”), small bagpipe, zurna (“zurla”) of all time in the world and one of the greatest composers in the world music history. The new album was recorded, mixed and made mastering by Dimitar Dimovski in his "Promuzika Tra La La Studio" in Skopje, and was released under the label of the American record label "Independent Records".

In this recording the clarinet is accompanied by his son Stevan Ognenovski on a drum and a second clarinet (performed by Tale Ognenovski)… Tale Ognenovski's performance is the most beautiful and fastest performance of Mozart's clarinet concert of all time in the world. Mozart's (“Clarinet Concerto in A major, K. 622”) concert for clarinet is certainly one of the most beautiful concerts of the classical era. 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. Tale Ognenovski, together with other members of the Ensemble "Tanec", appeared in Carnegie Hall, showing extremely beautiful artistic skills.

& Traditional Macedonian Folk –
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. Tale
Ognenovski is a
master of interpretative clarinet sounds and inventor of exotic musical
phrases…The labyrinthine musical phrases that flow from the undisputed
"King of Macedonian Clarinet" are magnificent, extravagant. He
explores sound and music with twists and curves that leave the listener
breathless. It is world-class music at its finest. He can play fast,
exciting,
speeding clarinet music or music that is spiritual meditative and
soulful.
Overall, this CD demonstrates that the mysterious music from the
Balkans
belongs on the world-stage ... for everyone to hear and enjoy…” https://www.amazon.com/Jazz-Macedonian-Dances-Classical-Music/dp/B0000Y8HXS/ref=ntt_mus_ep_dpi_1

International: Tale Ognenovski is
undoubtedly an exceptional artist, November 3, 2003.
Reviewer
Neil Horner of the MusicWeb International comments, "The clarinet
playing
of Tale Ognenovski is much celebrated in his part of the world but he
also
toured in the west many years ago and even performed at Carnegie Hall.
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 sound world and
perhaps
also those who care to hear the source music’s of their classical
favourites,
the aforementioned Bartók but also, here, perhaps
people
like Skalkottas…"
If the God
exist, the position of Tale
Ognenovski is fellowship with Him…." -

instrumentalists of all time… He is virtuoso of the clarinet and many

virtuoso
music. The music of Tale Ognenovski takes you to different worlds and

that
Tale Ognenovski uses two clarinets simultaneously with two different

(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

confirmation that Tale Ognenovski is the greatest clarinetist of all

Extraordinary feelings, undoubtedly evokes monographic work of your
great
musical opus, rarely inventive and gifted instrumentalist and composer.
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 that
words cannot
express what is experienced in the moments of your interpretations. But
I still
believe in the value of this monographic work that will remain a
permanent mark
for one glowing personality for future generations. Boris Trajkovski,

“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?...

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
Professor Ladislav Palfi, the famous pianist, in a letter dated May 23,
1973.

“One hundred and fifty arranged and
composed Macedonian folk dances, 12 jazz compositions, several concerts
of
classical music, twenty gramophone records, three CDs and a general
impression
that he is clarinet virtuoso – this is short CV of our most famous
clarinetist
Tale Ognenovski. For his music and his 87th birthday April 27, 2009 he
received
recognition "Jazz Musician of the Day: Tale Ognenovski", from editors
of All About Jazz (www.allaboutjazz.com) jazz music
website with announcement published at All About
Jazz website … http://news.allaboutjazz.com/news.php?id=34707#.Ur2mJ_RDuHM
“I am very joyful for this recognition, "Jazz Musician
of the Day",
very happy, very delighted. It is a great prize, including 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 –
The Folk Music Orchestra, the Authentic Orchestra of Folk Instruments,
"Chalgii"
Orchestra and in “Tancov” Orchestra. Meanwhile Tale Ognenovski
established his
own "Tale Ognenovski Orchestra", that continues to make music ... His

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 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
of
Macedonia, Komercijalna banka AD Skopje) who support his music
Tale
Ognenovski has released three CD albums: "Jazz, Macedonian Folk Dances
and

Ognenovski was happiest during the recording sessions
of last three CD albums with accompany by his son Stevan
Ognenovski
(drum) and grandsons Nikola Ognenovski and Kliment Ognenovski (reed
pipes) ...
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,
Markova
Lenche, Stojanova Radica, Videc Blaga, Ilieva Vaska, Kolarova Ljubica,
