Ekatarina Litvintseva – Pejačević: Piano Music (2021) [FLAC 24 bit, 96 kHz]

When the Siberian-born pianist Ekaterina Litvintseva heard Blumenleben for the first time, she immediately resolved to find out more about the life and music of Dora Pejacevi’c (1885-1923). This resolution prompted her to investigate an extraordinary corpus of music, remarkable not least for its sheer diversity, which she has attempted to convey in this selection of Pejacevi’c’s piano output. Among 57 extant works, 24 are scored for solo piano; there would surely have been many more in both categories had she not died of kidney failure on 5 March 1923, aged 37, having suffered complications in giving birth to her first child.
