100 YEARS KONSTANTIN ILIEV
Presentation of the autobiographical book “Words and Work” by Konstantin Iliev with the participation of Architect Ventsislav Iliev, son of the composer
The book presents a bright picture of the musical life in Bulgaria from 1945 to 1989 through the eyes and assessment of Konstantin Iliev. Glorified as a conductor and sharply criticized as a composer, the author reveals the harsh process of the creation, building up and establishing of the modern musical form at the time of the instigated norms of socialist realism. Interesting are the thoughts of the composer about the Bulgarian folklore and its specific reflection in the creative works at that time. The book is written in the dynamics of the live speech and is read with interest by all who are interested in the Bulgarian musical works and our history in our recent past.
