Notes
“Now I have come across someone who really has a great creative talent.” (Peter Tchaikovsky) Although the originality of his musical language paved the way for Russian modernism, Catoire's work still followed the artistic ideals of Russia and not the new culture of the Soviet Republic. His work is highly expressive and of enormous polyphonic density, greatest expressiveness, fine colors, rhythmic and harmonious scope. Catoire's music was almost never performed and his name remained almost unknown also to expert circles. He left behind 36 works including some symphonic pieces, a piano concerto, chamber music, songs and piano cycles. This music was written in the “fin de siecle”, with its shine and nobility, but also with its fragility.

“…Brilliantly punchy and colourful performances of Vladigerov’s string concertos… Yes, the recordings are now almost 50 years old but they are the real deal and Vladigerov admirers needn’t hesitate.”
Jonathan Woolf – MusicWeb-International.com – 6 April 2021
“How did we neglect the music of Vladigerov for so long? Those with a taste for the colourful spectacular style of such composers as Khachaturian will find much to reward them in this series…”
Barry Forshaw – cdchoice.co.uk – 11 April 2021
“… There is much to enjoy on these two discs and especially for those with a taste for sugary vexation and expressive highs. The 1970s sound is no obstacle to enjoyment… “
