About
Four of Dora Pejaèeviè’s thirty songs for voice and orchestra are presented here. With them the composer also made a valuable contribution to Croatian music of the modern period in the genre of the orchestral song and did so with the expressive worlds that were uniquely her own. To round off this CD: her last orchestral work, the Overture in D minor, with its dramatic tension deriving from its rhythmically striking, syncopated main theme.

Pejačević is no genius but...more than merely accomplished, well able to hold her own in the company of other late-Romantic fin de siecle composers whose reputations are assured...[the Piano Concerto] certainly keeps the excellent Oliver Triendl on his toes, so to speak. Howard Griffiths and the Brandenburg State Orchestra offer the same degree of ardour and expressive lyricism as they bring to the vocal items.
