A technical masterpiece that is boring as shit.  This is the kind of thing that one guitar player plays to impress the crap out of another guitar player. 

It's like a very high brow dueling banjos.

My god, I thought i was the only non-Macedonian (or Serbian) to have this album!  I could hardly believe what I heard when this came on.  It was sold to me at a CD stand in Belgrade back in 2000 by a guy who said "Mark Knopfler says that Vlatko Stefanofski is the best guitarist in the world."  Who knows if he ever said that, but it was enough for me to buy the CD.   Kudos, RP!
 
That's a true story! Mark said that in a speech after being named the best guitarist in the world (for that particular year). And Miroslav Tadic is a professor of guitar at the California Institute of Arts. This stuff they did together is their own (brilliant) interpretation of old Macedonian ethnic music pieces (which I personally find  the most beautiful ethnic music of the whole region), mixing it with jazz, flamenco style etc.
The outcome of their collaboration....well, to sum it up; one has to be musically blunt not to recognize top quality here (not to mention those speaking BS about it). Sorry, but this is a pure 10.

Thank you for this. I especially enjoyed this other piece by Ivan Smirnov: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmSgbZt41rs&feature=related

(I'm taking your word for the musician's name, as I do not read Cyrillic!) There are pyrotechnics, but also attention to time and space in his performance. (Identifiable elements of that magical quality called "Soul").

I suppose I'd better confess: I do not care much for this piece by Stefanovski and Tadic. It sounds like they are in the process of winning a contest for playing fast, and the music suffers for it.  As a non-musician who much admires the competence of musicians, I am reluctant to criticize the result, but there it is.

Alas, me too. I found it too fast, too harsh, and their touch lacked any sense of respect for the instrument.

I mean, Leo Kottke plays blazing fast at times, but you always feel warmth in his tone and approach.

I see what you mean. It seems to lack some technical finesse, too. On the other hand, what they have done musically is fascinating, in my opinion. So I still give this a 9.

Appropriate anecdote for this song:

I once had the great pleasure to sit in (as a guest, not musician) on the first rehearsal of the Chick Corea Electrik Band. Next to me on the couch was guitar virtuoso, Frank Gambole. He was in cheerful spirits going over his sheet music for the new songs, looked at me with a wink and said, "I wish I got paid by the note".
