"...Toshev and Stoyanova thrilled the audience with breath-taking personalities, especially with their bravura. They are a blend of a delicate and at the same time sparkling mixture of an excellent tonic for the laid back that peps up anybody from a depressed mood into joviality as they carry everyone with them into an excitable wakeful state. They offered us vitality, thrills and delight mingled with astonishment never to be forgotten... "

wane... "
