Doch was an absolutely spectacular 2 hours spent at the Powerhouse last Thursday night. The guest singers were beautifully expressive, while the instruments were played with great technical ability as well as fun and passion. I can't believe how fast they could play! And with such a large orchestra, the layers of sound were coordinated amazingly. The slower songs had me transfixed, while the livelier pieces got me up and dancing by the end. My favourite aspect of Doch and Balkan gypsy music is the element of wit, humour, satire or irony expressed in musical style, which I just can't quite articulate into words.
