After all, much of the Croatian composer’s style and techniques would be right at home in Rachmaninoff’s concertos, Tchaikovsky’s works, or Prokofiev’s neoclassicism; and the name of the album’s first work, Danube Rhapsody, naturally evokes associations with Smetana’s similarly river-themed Vltava.
Add to all of this that Meštrovic, like most of his great musical ancestors, is a talented virtuoso pianist, and it’s easy to see why 3 Rhapsodies is bound to meet with enthusiasm.
