About
A refusal to toe the party line in communist Bulgaria led to polymath Dimitar Nenov being marginalized in life, and to posthumous neglect. But this is hugely enjoyable music, well worthy of revival in such fiercely committed performances as we find here.

This excellent new recording by Ivo Varbanov with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra conducted by fellow Bulgarian Emil Tabakov – the orchestral playing in particular is impressive
18th June 2017
The monumental concerto is a highly-strung, emotional, single-movement journey, combining a late Romantic sensibility with a uniquely daring modernism, while the Ballade moves from pastoral idyll to climactic frenzy, with boisterous Bulgarian dance influences along the way.
Classical Music August 2017
Unpublished and here receiving its first recording, [the concerto] seems to span the whole range of early 20th-century pianism. It manages to remain fresh and individual even if the very breadth of influences makes it sound more sprawling than it actually is.

the emotion is so finely judged that one is led further into this notable music
