   The idea for recording this album arose a long time ago and I am extremely happy that I had the amazing opportunity to be able to record it in my final year at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. My interest in the Bulgarian classical music is tremendous and I wanted to share my personal approach to this not very well-known but extremely charming music. I learnt my first piece of the album back in 2012. It was the “Toccata” by Alexander Vladigerov. Since then, I continued to explore more music from him and his father until releasing this album in 2019. The 120th anniversary of Pancho Vladigerov’s birth was also a great occasion and inspiration for me to record some his masterpieces. I hope that this album, even presenting a small part of their works, will contribute to the popularization of their compositions in Bulgaria and worldwide.
