Simfonijski orkestar Hrvatske radiotelevizije | Croatian Radiotelevision Symphony Orchestra
Ivan Repušić, dirigent | conductor
The symphonic poem Sunny Fields by Blagoje Bersa and the Symphony in
F Sharp minor, Op. 41, by Dora Pejačević, are compositions featured on
this album. Nowadays, these compositions are considered masterpieces
in the corpus of national music of the first half of the 20th century, holding
a prestigious position in Croatian culture. However, their current reception
as top achievements of Croatian modern orchestral music does not tell
us anything about the exciting circumstances of their creation and the
complicated fate that befell them after being “severed from the umbilical
cord” of their creators. Like people, works of art have their own special and
unique backgrounds, destinies and “life paths.”
