The present release features a live performance of another world-famous violin player - Mila Georgieva. Born into a family of musicians, Mila Georgieva began playing the violin at the age of four. In her pre-teen years she gained international fame by winning important prizes in competitions in Italy, the Czech Republic and Bulgaria. Mila Georgieva studied with Dorothy De Lay and Cho-Liang Lin at the Juilliard School in New York and with Yfrah Neaman at the Guildhall School in London. As soloist she has performed with renowned orchestras and conductors. She participates at summer festivals and gives solo concerts throughout the world, and since 2003-2004, Mila Georgieva has been the concertmaster of the Symphony Orchestra of Radio Stuttgart. The conductor Martin Panteleev was also born in Sofia and he also began his music education by studying the violin with Angelina Atanassova. In 1994 he completed masterclass with Prof. Yfrah Neaman in Mainz, Germany.

Alexander Tekeliev furthered his studies in composition and orchestration in Budapest with Attila Bosai (1980) and in Paris with Michel Filippo (1982). Since 1977 he has been teaching at the Prof. Pancho Vladigerov State Academy of Music and since 1991 he is Professor of Composition and Symphony Orchestration.
A great part of his works have been published in Bulgaria and throughout the world and many of them have been performed in France, Italy, Greece, Japan, Hungary, Portugal, Russia, Ukraine, Sweden, Poland, Germany, Austria, Mexico, Norway, etc.
The three compositions which are included in the present album differ greatly regarding emotional impact and expressive means. While Roots is entirely influenced by the unique Bulgarian way of singing and spirit, Symphony - Requiem No. 4 is a powerful work, dedicated to the victims of terrorism. It was inspired by the tragic events of September 11th, 2001 in New York. Even though the composer uses again the expressive means of the specific folk voices, their purpose is to reinforce the author’s suggestion of the universal tragedy. The third piece Happy Birthday is written in the style of a playful joke. The motif of the well-known song appears from behind some familiar tunes by Liszt, Puccini, Strauss, Mozart, Offenbach, Tchaikovsky… It is full of humour, ingenuity, virtuosity and profound command of the art of composing.
