Papandopulo: Piano Concerto No. 2, Sinfonietta & Pintarichia

Boris Papandopulo has to be regarded as the most important 20th c. Croatian composer. His imposing musical oeuvre of more than 450 works reveals a multifaceted style: folklore, neoclassicism and neo-baroque as well as impressionistic and expressionistic idioms flow into his music. Most importantly, however, his works are full of optimism, vibrancy and captivating resiliency. His Piano Concerto No. 2 and the Sinfonietta form the ideal introduction to this artist - with more yet to be heard!
