Đurović, Frano: Croatian contemporary composers

Compositions on this CD represent the works of Frano Đurović during the decade from 1999 to 2009. As the considerably large opus of this composer includes orchestral, chamber and solo music; vocal and instrumental and dramatic musical works (opera and ballet), also music for theatre and electronic music in its wider meaning, the CD containing the composer’s opus could have presented “a little bit” from each of these categories. ... Frano Đurović is a composer of diverse interests that he intends to reconcile in his music. His opus, often characterised by strong expressiveness on one side, and playfulness, humour and (subtle or clear) irony on the other, contains both musical and non-musical elements, other arts, tradition and novelty.
