Maksim Mrvica grew up in Croatia, amidst war. I read that his piano teacher had his piano in a bomb shelter. While bombs were dropping outside, Maksim and his teacher were in the bomb shelter with the piano and Maksim would practice, practice practice! I think of that when I hear him play "Croatian Rhapsody" Though I love all his music, this is my favorite.
I enjoyed the music. I haven't heard much about Croatians for a long time. When I was growing up in East Chicago, Indiana, I attended school with a lot of croatian kids. There fathers had come to work in the Inland Steel Mill. They put on big parties and wedding receptions-with music and dancing.
I hope you enjoy this music!
