Galina Vracheva is unique as a pianist. Not only does she skilfully improvise cadenzas for piano concertos from the Baroque to the Modern, but she also accepts spontaneous compositions requests from her audiences. For two nights Galina Vracheva composed piano fantasies for the recording of this CD, spontaneously improvised after Beethoven's symphonies.
