RNCM Doctoral Researcher Dobromir Tsenov was recently featured in the June Issue of BBC Music Magazine for his latest album 'Ľubomir Pipkov: Complete Piano Music, Volume Three', bringing critical international attention to the music of one of Bulgaria’s most significant twentieth-century composers 👇
Cover image of Tsenov's latest album accompanied by a short quote from Erik Levi's four-star review of the album: "impeccably documented and finely performed... Given their quality of invention, it's surprising this cycle is not better known".

Album released by Toccata Classics and features the following works by Pipkov: 
Prelude (in memoriam Chopin) Op.39
Youth Collection, Op. 14
22 Variations
Miniatures
Toccata

And Panayot PipKov: Complete Piano MusicA picture featuring Levi's complete review of the album:

Pipkov
Complete Piano Music, Vol. 3
Dobromir Isenov (piano)
Toccata Classics TOCC0789 74 mins

Despite the sterling efforts of some record companies, our knowledge of 20th-century Bulgarian music remains sketchy at best. A flurry of releases of works by Pancho Vladigerov, widely regarded as the most significant Bulgarian composer of all time, have appeared fairly recently, but until Toccata Classics began recording the complete piano works of Lubomir Pipkov (1904-74), most of us will have remained blissfully unaware of the talents of one of Vladigerov's most distinguished contemporaries.

The third and final volume in this impeccably documented and finely performed series includes an early and not especially characteristic set of 22 Variations, which Pipkov performed in public while studying in Paris in the 1920s, and a more interesting if introspective Prelude (In Memoriam Chopin) from 1949, 100 years after the Pole's death.
We also get a delightfully varied sequence of 12 short pieces that make up Youth Collection which Pipkov composed from 1923-57. As its title suggests, these miniatures very much follow the pattern of Bartok's Mikrokosmos in providing vivid, often folk music-inflected miniatures, often with irregular time signatures, which are targeted to appeal to young performers.

Given their quality of invention, it's surprising this cycle is not better known, likewise seven further short pieces, and in particular an exuberant Toccata.

Preceding these works are the 10 piano pieces that Lubomir's father, Panayot Pipkov composed between 1893 and 1918 which marry some of the conventions of 19th-century salon music with occasional and intriguing references to Bulgarian folk music.

A long‑lost 19th-century piano concerto by Beethoven’s pupil Ferdinand Ries (1784-1838) - re-discovered, edited, and premiered by Dr Adam Swayne (@adamswayne.bsky.social) - has recently been published for the first time in history by A-R Editions 🎶🎹 🎵 Full story: 🔗 www.rncm.ac.uk/news/long-lo...
Front cover of the publication: 

Ferdinant Ries

Grand Concert Pour le Pianoforte

First version of Piano Concerto No.6 in C Major, Op.123

Edited by Adam SwayneFlyer of the new publication, with the following additional information :

This edition presents the first version of Ferdinand Ries's earliest piano concerto, the Grand concert pour le pianoforte (1806), which has gone untouched for over two centuries. Composed upon Ries's return to Bonn after his time as Beethoven's piano pupil, secretary, and copyist, this ambitious and expansive concerto shows the undeniable influence of his former teacher. Following extensive revision, the concerto was eventually published as the Piano Concerto No. 6 in C Major, op. 123, but Ries's preservation of his original autograph supports the idea that he regarded the first iteration of the concerto as not just an early draft but an important score in its own right. This edition not only facilitates comparison with the work's later version, which illuminates stylistic shifts within the piano concerto genre in the context of a single work, but also explores Ries's earliest foray into one of the most significant areas of his compositional output.

Dr. Adam Swayne is Deputy Head of Keyboard Studies at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, UK. He has undertaken research into Ferdinand Ries as a Fulbright Scholar at Northwestern University. Alongside nineteenth-century concertos, contemporary music has been the primary focus of his performing career, following the example of his teacher at Northwestern, Professor Ursula Oppens. He cofounded the London-based Riot Ensemble, which won the inaugural Ernst von Siemens Ensemble Prize in 2020. He has recorded two solo albums with Coviello Classics that address societal issues in the United States. He was the only artist to be nominated in two categories at the 2019 Opus Klassik awards in Germany. The BBC have recommended his performances in print, broadcast, and online. The Times described him as "a pianist of formidable technique and high intelligence," and the Evening Standard as "an ideal blend of panache and subtlety."
