Now you can buy Pejačević CD on Amazon!
Pejacevic Piano Works on Amazon

[Alan Howe]

Thanks for the information.

The price at Amazon.co.jp converts to £37.53 (including postage) - which is pretty expensive! Still, it depends how much one wants the set...

[eternalorphea]

Wooow! Perhaps they're trying not to sell it? :>

I mean, though Dora Pejačević merits the pedestal of high artictic dignity, it's not she whose playing's recorded on the CD; in that case I would set aside the money for it.

Now I'm left with having to wait for a pirated copy, or the CPO's edition

[Alan Howe]

I've ordered it nevertheless, so it'd better be good...

[eternalorphea]

Ok, I'm eager to hear from you on that.. =D

About the CPO edition, this is a documentary about/ interview with Nataša Veljković. She plays nothing Pejačević's in it, but mostly Schumann I think (in unaccompanied music) whose her fav comp, and others. She speaks in Croatian(-Serbian) language, but anyway the point is in hearing the quality of her interpretation and technique in the very video devoted to that aspect. Seems to me she's good

CD report-review (March 1st, 2015) LINK

[Alan Howe]

My copy's now on its way from Amazon in Japan, so excitement is mounting...

[eternalorphea]

Mine's too. I ordered it from Yoko direct. Ah, the excitement, mounting indeed..!

[eternalorphea]

Actually the CD had arrived on the address on March 3rd, but only yesterday late evening have I arrived on the same address too. So, I listened to it complete in a row, from midnight to 03:00 AM. It met what I expected, the complete piano works of Dora in a solid interpretation recorded with high quality equipment

[Alan Howe]

Yes, it's a very good set. More about the music when I've had time to listen properly...
