"Here began the creation of the great heritage of Macedonian Culture which Tale Ognenovski has left. This great heritage put the musical genius Tale Ognenovski on an equal level musically with other world musical legends. Somebody said that Tale Ognenovski was better than Mozart...Tale Ognenovski is the first and the longest surviving person who has managed to connect the two ‘unconnectable’ Music Worlds of the Orient and the West..." This appeared in an article entitled "The Great ‘Chalgii’ opus of the Maestro Tale Ognenovski". It was published in the magazine ‘Nova Zora’ in Bitola, Republic of Macedonia, in November, 1994.
