Tsenov - Lubomir Pipkov: Complete Piano Music, Vol. 1

Lubomir Pipkov (1904�74) was one of the leading members of the so-called �second generation� of Bulgarian composers. In later life he became fascinated with the ancient heritage of Bulgarian folk-music, writing a series of what he called �metro-rhythmical studies� � piano miniatures that combine melodic immediacy and rhythmic complexity, with a character that might be loosely characterised as sounding like �Prokofiev in the Balkans�.
