Lubomir Pipkov ¬ Symphony No.1

[@christophermolla5247]

You hooked me with the Leonora Carrington painting.

This Symphony is lush and beautiful throughout ! Playful sections have great, colorful orchestration (e.g. starting at 21:50 - )! Loved this work!

[@rogerantonybennett5272]

Well fruity 2nd mov !

Thanks to D. Shostakovitch for mentioning this composer in one of his interviews. Loved the symphony.

[@patrickbecker4473]

Can you remember, where he mentions them?

@@patrickbecker4473 Shostakovich, Dmitri (1981). Grigoryev, L.; Platek, Ya. (eds.). Dmitry Shostakovich: About Himself and his Times. Moscow: Progress Publishers. p. 316. Many excellent symphonic works have appeared recently. I should like to mention, for example, Sergei Prokofiev, Benjamin Britten, or the Bulgarian composer Lyubomir Pipkov.

Wunderbar ! Bravo und Danke

[@rogerantonybennett5272]

This is very impressive from the start. 9:50 slow 2nd mov is this like EJ Moeran's 1st Sym ? at all... it doesn't sound much like RVW so perhaps not 17:27 frisky 3rd mov (now there is a bit of RVW) 19:24 probably "trio" of scherzo (cf Paul Creston ?) 21:50 might be start of Finale (better than Walton) 26:1

Pipkov dedicated this composition to the Republican fighters of the Spanish Civil War, which had ended the previous year in their defeat and post-war persecution. No pasaran! (I have an International Brigades replica flag hanging in my home office/hobby room)

I thought the symphony got better and better the deeper I got into it.

[@giuseppedimarco8358]

Thanks!

[@millertj27]

What CD is this from and what year was it released?

[@symphonious_rex]

I don't know, but I'd guess it's from an old vinyl release (60s, 70s)...

[@kuang-licheng402]
