| 1 | Kutsata (Dobrudzha Ruchenitsa) | Zornitsa Orchestra | bitov | ruchenitsa | LW> Very nice recording. |
| 2 | Ruka | Zornitsa Orchestra | bitov | reka | LW> Nice recording - perhaps a bit fast for my taste. |
| 3 | Sborenka | Zornitsa Orchestra | bitov | LW> Very nice recording -althought I could do without the bass. | |
| 4 | Opas | Zornitsa Orchestra | bitov | opas | LW> Nice recording, but, the feeling is too light for my taste. I don't particularly like the bass. |
| 5 | Povlekana (Ruchenitsa) | Zornitsa Orchestra | bitov | ruchenitsa | LW> Nice recording of the Dobrudzhean tune, but I'd prefer it without the bass. |
| 6 | Cherkezko Horo (9/8 Meter) | Zornitsa Orchestra | bitov | LW> Nice tune in 9/8 (2+2+2+3) - N. Bulgaria | |
| 7 | Biala Marika (Paidushko) | Zornitsa Orchestra | bitov | paidushko | LW> Very nice tune - but I prefer it to be a bit faster. I thing I like the Radostina Kuneva version a bit better. |
| 8 | Sitno Vlashko | Zornitsa Orchestra | bitov | LW> Nice tune | |
