Since 1971, Komitov has been performing, recording, creating music videos, writing and arranging songs and albums; he has had many media appearances and has been part of the shows of other popular Bulgarian artists. == Biography and work == Boris Petrov Komitov was born on 12 December 1952 〔(Boris Komitov - A pop music legend from Plovdiv, was born on the milestone date 12.12.2012 )〕 in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. His father, Petar Borisov Komitov, D.Mus., was one of the founders of the Plovdiv Academic Symphony Orchestra, where he was a concertmaster and violin soloist. His mother, Vesela Komitova was a lawyer; she also had a passion for music and played the piano. At the age of 7, he placed second at a piano competition in Plovdiv. Boris began singing in the late 1960s, influenced by the vitality and magnetism of one of Bulgaria’s most famous singers – Emil Dimitrov. Between 1969 and 1971, Komitov performed Emil Dimitrov’s work and Italian songs at music shows. In 1971, he composed his first song “Farewell, Sea”; it was based on a text by the poet Hristofor Plevenski. Over the years, the two have formed a good creative tandem. From 1971 to 1973, Boris Komitov served together with the singer Hristo Petrov in the cultural squad of the Bulgarian Army in Pazardzhik, during that time he carried out hundreds of concerts. Between 1973 and 1977, Komitov formed his own musical ensemble and performed at events alongside many revered artists, including Bulgarian film star Georgi Partsalev. In 1978, he graduated as a civil engineer in Sofia. In September of the same year, after meeting with one of the most esteemed Bulgarian composers, Boris realised that an artist like him, one of a similar style to that of Emil Dimitrov, had no place in Bulgaria. The composer expressed a view that Emil Dimitrov’s music should not be played at public places, even worse was the case for live performances and the publication of records. This shaped Komitov’s decision to return to Plovdiv and embark on a career as an engineer, singing in pubs and bars was definitely unattractive to him. This continued until 1995, when Boris recorded a demo with songs for the purpose of generating opinion on his musical style. In 1996, a song of his was ranked 14th among the top 100 in the eastern part of Germany. The song is called: „Liebe ist das was Dein Herz begehrt” and was performed by German singer Christina Schade. In 2003, Boris Komitov launched the album “Talk to Me About Her”; it premiered at the Summer Theatre in Plovdiv on 3 September. The concert featured: the pop diva Lili Ivanova, Иван Лечев, Георги Мамалев, Христо Кидиков, Роси Русева и Пенка Коева. The same year he received an award for best concept album of the year from the New Musical Union and Art and Rock - Pop Centre Bulgaria. This distinction served as recognition of his approach to music-making and the arrangement of songs. More shows followed the year after with the participation of Lili Ivanova, Mitko Shterev and Dragomir Draganov. It deserves to be mentioned that in 1992, the singer Rositsa Ovcharova won first place and the award for the audience's favourite act at the “Discovery – 92” contest in the city of Varna by singing Boris’ song “Message”. In 2002, another singer, Anna Ovcharova performed the same song winning the best pop performer prize for 2001 at the “Seasons” competition in Burgas. Komitov has also written a song for the children's music group “Sun”. In 2006, Boris released the album “Husband, Lover or ... a Silent Witness.” His albums feature famous musicians like Ivan Lechev, Veselin Koichev, Boyan Dinev, Ivan Dimitrov and many others. In October 2012, Komitov presented a new album titled “A Strange Lesson”. It was promoted on 1 December 2012 at the Dramatical Theatre in Plovdiv with the special appearance of Yordanka Hristova, Rosi Ruseva and ballet “Magica”.〔(Boris Komitov perform “A Strange Lesson” )〕〔(Boris Komitov on 60: 'Emil Dimitrov himself called me his deputy after our meeting in 2003' )〕 In 2013, he wrote a special song for the last album of Yordanka Hristova and her concert in December the same year. The song is called “Sad is the Night”. Between 2013 and 2014, some of Boris’ musical compositions were recorded and arranged for piano (classical style) by Stoic Gadev. The album will be released in 2016.〔(Boris Komitov - Biography )〕 In 2014, for Christmas, Boris made an Orthodox Christian musical album honouring God and Jesus Christ, which was given to people visiting the St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral (Sofia). Between 2013 and 2015, he recorded a new double album – “How I Miss You”. The first disc contains 16 entirely new songs, the other part of the album is an instrumental, arranged and performed by Stoic Gadev. Komitov has two children: Boris – a doctor and Vesela – a lawyer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boris Komitov (singer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
