  • Part I Introduction and Context
    PART I INTRODUCTION AND CONTEXT 1 Part I – Introduction and Context 1. Introduction The issues of cultural cooperation in Europe dealt with in this report have a special relevance when confronting the needs of European integration, the fostering of sensitive and responsible citizenship and the implementation of Human and Cultural Rights. Intergovernmental cultural cooperation is a concept which has not yet been developed to its full potential, having often been reduced to the signature of bilateral or multilateral agreements of a purely diplomatic nature and comparatively unspecific content. And yet, as governments enjoy full authority in official international relations, it is to be expected that they should take responsibility in leading the way – especially as cultural cooperation can signify much more than mere exchanges of concerts and exhibitions, and can instead become an exercise where the values of creativity, solidarity and diversity are being actively pursued. The promotion of values related to cultural diversity and pluralism must not only be understood as a reflection of ethical principles but also as an active inducement to cooperation. The final reason to foster diversity must be to ensure a maximum of expressive options, combined with a view to improving the quality of sensitivity and the renewal of the creative pool of society. Cultural systems do not live in isolation, and only by promoting cross-fertilisation of their creative patterns can they improve and grow. Cooperation therefore is not an abstract notion of good-will but is the very essence of cultural survival and the sharpening of critical conscience in society. This report is set to fulfil a mandate focusing on the description of intergovernmental cultural cooperation in 31 European states but also on providing an interpretation of the present situation and its relationship to future scenarios.

    EMIL TABAKOV: COMPLETE SYMPHONIES, VOLUME FIVE by Paul Conway The composer and conductor Emil Tabakov was born on 21 August 1947 in Ruse in northern Bulgaria. He first took to the podium at the age of seventeen and won the Nikolai Malko Young Conductors Competition in Copenhagen in 1977. At the Bulgarian State Academy of Music he studied double bass with Todor Toshev, conducting with Vladi Simeonov and composition with the distinguished Bulgarian composer Marin Goleminov. While still at music school, Tabakov founded a chamber orchestra made up of friends. He came to the attention of Ilija Temkov, the principal conductor of the Ruse Philharmonic, who invited the eighteen-year-old to conduct his orchestra. Among the works Tabakov chose to perform at this prestigious event was his Two Improvisations for string orchestra and timpani, his first orchestral piece, written at the age of fourteen. From 1975 to 1979 Tabakov conducted the Ruse Symphony Orchestra. He then directed the Sofia Soloists Chamber Ensemble, appearing internationally with them from 1980 to 1989. Appointed conductor of the Sofia Philharmonic in 1985, he was made its general music director three years later and held this post until 2000. At the same time (1994–99) he was chief conductor of the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra. With the Sofia Philharmonic, and as guest conductor with several others, he has performed all over the world, enjoying particularly close associations with orchestras in Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Macedonia, Russia and South Korea. Under his baton the Sofia Philharmonic has recorded a large amount of the Romantic repertoire. From 2002 to 2008 he was music director and chief conductor of the Bilkent Symphony Orchestra in Ankara and from 2008 to 2016 he was chief conductor and director of the Symphony Orchestra of Bulgarian National Radio.
