This album of piano trios represents one hundred years of Bulgaria’s diverse and colorful history, enchanting audiences with haunting melodies, joyous rhythms, and the deeply rooted sentiments of a proud people. While common threads can be discerned through the three works in this album, the distinct personalities and wide-spread influences of the three composers offer an eclectic, yet wondrous journey to the ancient lands of Bulgaria.

Album includes works by Lubomir Pipkov, Georgi Zlatev-Tcherkin and Lora Al-Ahmad, performed by pianist Ilia Radoslavov, violinist Miroslav Hristov, and cellist Marta Simidtchieva.
