Atanas Ourkouzounov - Atanas Ourkouzounov: Cycling Modes - Sonatas Nos. 1-5

Award-winning Atanas Ourkouzounov is one of Bulgaria's foremost composers and has written prolifically for the guitar. These five sonatas reveal elements of Bulgarian national music - sometimes through a textured soundscape that includes percussive elements - cast in forms that are often rhythmically asymmetric. Teeming with complex harmonies, contrapuntal effects and poignant depth, the sonatas are a vivid contribution to the contemporary guitar repertoire.
