Half an year later she teams up with Theodosii Spassov (the great Bulgarian kaval artist) and records an album entitled ‘Incantations – Homage To Bela Bartók’.
Created especially for the 2019 edition of the “George Enescu” International Festival, the project featured Teodora Enache (voice), Călin Grigoriu (guitar), Joca Perpignan, from Israel, (percussion) and Răzvan Suma (cello) – as a special guest.
Besides Enescu's Rhapsodies, the concert included also classical works like Bartók's Romanian Folk Dances, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, Bach's Air on a G String and Pachelbel's Canon.
‘When I heard her for the first time I felt her energy straight in my heart, something only Ella Fitzgerald has made me feel.’ – Ahmet Ertegun, Founder of Atlantic Records ‘Teodora has a spiritual vision in music.’ – Benny Rietveld, 9-time Grammy Award winner, Santana’s Bass Player and Musical Director ‘Teodora is one of the few voices in the whole world that goes easily from the ethnical emission and improvisation to jazz improvisation.
Her special vocal technique, coming from classical training, is perfect, she can moan like a black singer and then reach the highest pitch… So original and difficult to imitate.
She is unique.’ – Heinz Hess, Jazz Producer at the ‘Art of June Studios’, Germany ‘Teodora’s voice has the passion of fire; her impressive vocal range touches the sky, but comes from the depths of her soul with great strength.
