About this product
The pianist Ekaterina Litvintseva won critical praise for her solo album on Piano Classics (PCL10226) of piano music by Dora Pejacevic 'You owe it to yourself to make the acquaintance of Dora Pejacevic if you haven't done so already.' (Fanfare, May 2022) With her colleagues in Trio RoVerde, she now turns to the Croatian composer's chamber music. The Cello Sonata dates from 1913, the same year as Pejacevic wrote the first piano concerto by any Croatian composer. Like Brahms's First Cello Sonata and Elgar's Cello Concerto, it is cast in a moody E minor, with a yearning character are established from the outset by a long-limbed cantabile melody for the cellist. Pejacevic proceeds to develop a passionate dialogue between cello and piano through an assured handling of sonata form. The following sequence of miniatures for violin and piano evokes the world of the salon in their titles, but the Schumannesque warmth of the Romanze Op.22, from 1907, is replaced by a style at once more wistful and refined by the time of the Elegie, which she wrote in the same pivotal year (1913) as the Cello Sonata. From seven years later, the Meditation Op.51 makes no retreat into solipsism but paints a three-minute sketch of a new and uncertain world. From 1910, the C major Piano Trio returns us to safer ground. Pejacevic demonstrates a notable sensitivity in writing for a tricky combination of instruments strong melodic writing for the string instruments counterbalances the weight of the piano part, which is in any case deftly pointed and touched by the composer's experience as a performer. If Pejacevic's chamber music has not taken it's place in the standard repertoire of late-Romanticism, it is our loss, and one that an increasing number of performances and recordings such as this one are belatedly redressing.

![Trio Roverde - Trio Elegiaque No. 2 Op. 9 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/c0da42a0-ec30-471b-bb06-b7c8c65ce82f.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
As a young man; fresh from his first real success as a composer with the opera Aleko; Rachmaninoff was on his way to visit his mentor Tchaikovsky when he saw a crowd gathered outside. The news of Tchaikovsky's death sent him into a tail-spin; and he passed the next few weeks alone; walking and writing this magnificent 'Trio Elegiaque' in memory of Tchaikovsky. Although the Trio is an early work; it bears the unmistakable imprint of Rachmaninoff's musical personality. His virtuosity as a pianist is manifest throughout in the writing for his own instrument; but there are passages of no less glittering brilliance for the strings. The piece as a whole is conceived on the grandest scale; at around 50 minutes in length; emulating the example and form of the 'Trio Elegiaque' which Tchaikovsky had composed in memory of Nikolai Rubinstein. No understanding of Rachmaninoff is complete without the Trio; and this anniversary year; 150 years since his birth; has produced a magnificent new recording made by the established international collective of Trio RoVerde. The trio's pianist is Ekaterina Litvintseva; 'the Arctic Circle Pianist' now resident in Germany; who has several highly praised recordings on Brilliant Classics to her name including a personal choice of solo works by the pioneering Croatian composer Dora Pejacevic (PCL10226) 'Ekaterina Litvintseva has been amassing a distinguished discography - and this... exhibits the combination of sensitivity and self-assurance that have marked her playing up until now... you owe it to yourself to make the acquaintance of Dora Pejacevic.' The Trio RoVerde has also recorded the Triple Concerto of Beethoven; on a 2021 album (96483) 'Litvintseva plays with ease and grace... The musicians play well together; seamlessly trading off and matching each other's sound.' (Fanfare). Alongside the Trio are two complementary sets of salon pieces
