The words “remarkable music on both orthodox and unorthodox instruments - a raucous and unforgettable pipe," written by John Martin, and appeared in The New York Times on January 28, 1956, are related to the Tale Ognenovski's performances in Carnegie Hall as reed pipe and clarinet soloist with the Macedonian ensemble of Folk Dances and Songs “Tanec" on January 27, 1956. Today, forty-five years later the music performed by him, can be heard again on his first Audio CD. Label: Independent Records, USA
