At CRD Records, we have always been drawn to the unjustly neglected. Whether through our longstanding commitment to rediscovering overlooked composers or our championing of piano miniatures – our mission is to uncover and curate music that deserves a wider audience.

Dimitar Nenov (1901–1953) is precisely such a figure. A pianist composer of extraordinary depth, Nenov’s music remains largely unknown beyond Bulgaria – where he is still rarely programmed – despite his towering influence on 20th-century Eastern European music. His works, blending architectural precision with boundless imagination, are at once intellectually rigorous and emotionally profound.

This album, performed by the brilliant Veneta Neynska, offers a rare opportunity to experience Nenov’s unique musical language through the artistry of his present day champion. From the lush harmonies of his Meditation to the virtuosic brilliance of the Toccata, this collection reveals a composer who was not only a master of the piano but also a visionary in sound.

We are thrilled to present this album as part of our commitment to bringing hidden gems to light, ensuring Nenov’s remarkable legacy is heard, appreciated, and celebrated worldwide.

Known for her exceptionally creative and exciting projects, pianist Veneta Neynska is one of the most emotionally engaging and intellectually captivating pianists of her generation.

A passionate advocate for the musical heritage of fellow Bulgarian composer, pianist and architect Dimitar Nenov, Neynska has thoroughly researched his life and works and, together with director Jassen Haralampiev, has created a critically acclaimed musical documentary about the legendary artist. The film features the only surviving recording by Nenov, widely considered as the most significant Bulgarian pianist of all times. “Dimitar Nenov and the Dimensions of Elegance” has been presented as part of a cine-concert in various European capitals and is freely accessible with subtitles in five languages at Veneta’s YouTube channel.
