...The selection of compositions for this discography edition is characterized by two facts important for Boris Papandopulo’s composer’s opus. The first one relates to the part of his creative work dedicated to solo instruments and larger or smaller orchestra ensembles, and the other on the chamber opus, which is equally essential in the number of pieces as it is in its characteristics for the knowledge on the determining points of Papandopulo’s composing style. It is about two large groups of works created gradually during the six–decade long creative artist’s life, which are principally related to the circumstances in which the composer lived and worked at a specific time period, but also the interpreters with whom he contacted and collaborated, who were numerous and oftentimes very friendly, so it was this personal communication that used to be the motivation for the creation of an individual piece. ... Formally, he also didn’t always adhere to the traditional concert form. He readily put together a form in the way of freely conceived movements, sometimes giving them a dance or a romance character or just a form characteristic for him, in which he leans one idea against another and masterfully chains them together in a formal unit.
