Introducing a stunning collection of classical compositions by renowned composers Poulenc, Goleminov, Tchaikovsky, and Schumann, performed by the immensely talented Devorina Gamalova.
Born in Bulgaria in 1965, Gamalova's passion for music led her to study violin at the esteemed Pancho Vladigerov State Academy of Music in Sofia, later honing her skills in the UK at the Royal College of Music and the Guildhall School of Music. As a soloist and chamber musician, Gamalova continues to captivate audiences with her exceptional talent and artistry, and she also takes part in Yehudi Menuhin's Live Music Now Scheme.
The album also includes the only remaining recording of the Bulgarian violinist Blagorodna Badeva (1963-1995), which was tape-recorded at her home. Despite the lack of orchestral accompaniment and the very limited equipment, her interpretation of Mozart is remarkable.
Experience the beauty and emotion of these timeless compositions, expertly interpreted by the remarkable Devorina Gamalova.
