Periklis Koukos - Orchestral Suites (IRIDA 003)
Orchestral Suites could be considered to be a musical portrait of acclaimed composer Periklis Koukos. The pieces on this CD are orchestral versions of pieces from two of his operas- Manuel Salinas and Conroy and his Copies, performed by the Sofia Radio Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Valeri Vatchev.
Koukos' stage music with its eclectic harmonic and melodic elements and frequent use of polyrhythms really shines in these arrangements for a symphony orchestra where various timbres are brought out, with combined parts for brass and woodwinds as well as for strings and percussion.
