L’ubomir Pipkov: Complete Piano Music, Volume Three
With this volume Dobromir Tsenov completes his survey of the solo-piano music of his compatriot Ľubomir Pipkov (1904–74), one of the leading members of the ‘second generation’ of Bulgarian composers who helped establish a national tradition of classical music, blending western forms with the rhythms of local folksong and folk-dances. The first complete recording of the piano music of his father, Panayot Pipkov (1871–1942), one of the ‘first generation’, sets it in context, in its mix of folk roots and Lisztian bravura.
