“Vladigerov embraced many styles within a late romantic-nationalist idiom… Finest of all, though, are the Seven Bulgarian Symphonic Dances (1931), collectively a rich panoply of his homeland's folk heritage that gets better and better with each hearing. Superb performances from Berlin - where the composer lived and worked for almost 20 years - under (Romanian) Andreescu's sympathetic direction. Lovers of Bax or early Havergal Brian should not hesitate.”
