“Sheltering deeply in himself his love for the charms of the
folk songs, armed with more modern compositional means of expression,
he seized with inspiration the brush of the artist to paint wonderful
sound canvases. Petko Staynov is inclined both to epic narration
and to philosophic meditation, without being alien to the cheerful
in life. Because he is neither a taciturn observer of phenomena,
nor is he a reticent thinker – he is in love with life with the
drive of youth.” Marin Goleminov, 1966
Inaterably, even at they premiers, both Petko Staynov's symphonic
and Choral works are greeted enthusiastically. |
“Stainov’s second symphony not only sounds like the highest point
of his creative work, but is also one of the most remarkable works
in our music.” Filip Koutev, 1957.
