Interesting Music Orchestral works by Martin Georgiev - heard by GEOFF PEARCE 'Direction and performances are first class, and for people who appreciate contemporary classical music, there is a lot to enjoy here.'

Neither the composer nor the works on this disc were known to me beforehand. It became apparent that this music is unlike anything else I have heard before, and that Orthodox church music and ideology plays a big part in the creative endeavours of this young Bulgarian/British composer.

The first work, Symphonic Triptych, was written in two phases and may be played in whatever order the conductor choses in this three movement work. I will place them in the order that the recording plays them...
