In the 2pm hour we’ll give special attention to composer Dobrinka Tabakova (Bulgarian: Добринка Табакова) who was born in Bulgaria (1980) but raised in London and has a PhD in composition from King's College, London. About her Concerto for Cello and Strings from 2008, she says, "The cello resonates with me as a composer for many reasons – its rich sound and overtones, its extensive range, its closeness to the human voice." Tabakova composed the Concerto for Latvian cellist Kristina Blaumane about whose playing Tabakova says, "Kristina is inspirational in that she can go quickly from playing of great technical virtuosity to the most tender sound – both with equal musicality, maintaining a natural, almost singing, phrasing throughout." So listen for that when we air Tabakova's Concerto for Cello and Strings for today's Midday Masterpiece.
