"Karkata" release on Makrokosmos 50 CD album
The premiere of Vera Ivanova's opera "The Double"
'...Solo violin also features in VERA IVANOVA's tremendous QUIET LIGHT: an abstract, searching evocation of light as it penetrates the dome of an ancient church.'
'...humanistic and deeply felt works... they manage to express aspects of the human experience through an artistic medium that is not often associated with such deeply felt emotions...'
'...our five finalists are probably the best young composers working anywhere in the world today!'
