Dimitar Nenov

about

Dimitar Nenov (Bulgarian: Димитър Ненов), (December 19, 1901 in Razgrad – August 30, 1953 in Sofia) was a Bulgarian classical pianist, composer, music pedagogue and architect. He studied music and architecture in Dresden, and was a piano professor at the Sofia Conservatoire where he taught piano to noted Bulgarian pianists Genko Genov, Svetla Protich, Lazar Nikolov, Trifon Silyanovski, and many others. A communist regime was installed in Bulgaria on September 9, 1944, a date that marked the end of World War II in Bulgaria. Those were tough times for Bulgarian culture. Prof. Nenov was fired abruptly from the Conservatoire, due to allegations of "having performed piano compositions by 'Nazi' composer Richard Wagner". Following a strong public outcry, he was reluctantly restored back to his position. In 1953, when Prof. Nenov was already very sick and dying, one of his rivals- a communist protege- was appointed Director of the Bulgarian National Radio, and soon afterwards he ordered all of Prof. Nenov's musical recordings erased and destroyed. Because of this ruthless hate crime that remained unpunished, only one single live recording of Prof. Nenov remains available today, in the archives of the Hungarian National Radio.
