From the diversity of Bulgarian musical culture Pancho Vladigerov stands out as undoubtedly the most important composer for the musical self-conception of modern Bulgaria. Apart from the piano, which was Pancho Vladigerov’s primary, expertly mastered instrument, the violin was second nearest and dearest to him. Undoubtedly the most popular and most often performed composition of Vladigerov’s is his Bulgarian Rhapsody, Op. 16 “Vardar” (1922) – presented here, for violin solo and orchestra. It appears to genuinely tap into the character of Bulgarian life and absolutely nails a specific aspect of the entire country’s culture. These recordings, produced in the 1970s in Bulgaria, comprise Capriccio's 18-disc Vladigerov Edition that will preserve this colourful music for future generations. Conductor Alexander Vladigerov is the son of Pancho Vladigerov.
