 "...consummate artistry in coupling an introspective approach with refined sensitivity for phrasing.." - Washington Post

 

Sunday, 23rd February, 5pm

Two Croatian musicians will perform a recital of solo piano music, featuring the Heroic Polonaise of Chopin and, in the second half, a violin and piano duo, featuring the Brahms Violin Sonata no. 3 in D minor, one of the most exciting works in the chamber music repertoire.

They will also be playing some short works by three Croatian composers. I am only familiar with Boris Papandopulo whom I know to be a very fine composer.

For several of his performances, Caldarovic has won outstanding awards (Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 1, Liszt: Sonata in B minor). For his Washington debut music critic Cecilia Porter wrote, “Caldarovic's playing reveals consummate artistry in coupling an introspective approach with refined sensitivity for phrasing...”
