Sofia String Quartet

Description:

Shostakovich and works by Bulgarian composers by Bulgaria's leading quartet! Two Shostakovich pieces by the Sofia String Quartet, a string quartet affiliated with the Bulgarian National Radio, and a micro-quartet by 20th century Bulgarian composer Marin Goreminov (1908-2000). The Sofia String Quartet was formed in 1994, but Vasil Valchev and Nikolai Gagov were active as the Valchev String Quartet (1973-1982), and Ognjan Stachev was the viola player in the Tirev String Quartet, which was active mainly in the 1970s, and was essentially a practically a veteran Bulgarian quartet. Viktor Chuchkov (1946-) is a Bulgarian pianist also known as a composer. Goreminov's Micro Quartet is a compact eight-and-a-half-minute string quartet, a modernist-inspired work from 1967, which is also the work of a Bulgarian pianist and composer, Viktor Chuchkov (1946-).
