Music critics Snježana Miklaušić-Ćeran (portal klasika.hr)
and Igor Koruga (portal tjedno.hr) were at the concert that Marco
Graziani, Latica Anić and Krešimir Starčević gave on December 5, 2023,
in the Small Hall of the Vatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall in Zagreb. Here
are some fragments from their reviews (you can read the whole review on the
link below):
Krešimir Starčević, whose contribution to the performance is certainly
the greatest in terms of playing time, confirmed all the good sides of polished
pianistic technique, an imposing range of dynamics and an unobtrusive
accompaniment that was a safe and reliable support for the string players at
all times. Marco Graziani revealed the tonal world of the violin with
impeccable intonation, seemingly simple solutions to demanding technical
settings and controlled bow guidance. Cellist Latica Anić, as an interpreter of
thematic material, shone in several moments with the beauty of tone,
musicality, great intonation and impeccable playing technique. The sense of
harmony of the collective playing of these three young musicians may inspire
some of their new projects, because it is a pleasure to listen (and watch) them
flipping through the scores of three compositions with inspiration, musicality
and harmony. We will be happy to join them in the future on the Music Trails
Concert Series or maybe some other cycle of chamber concerts

Satisfied audience attended the performance of violinist Marco Graziani
(1988), cellist Latica Anić (1994) and pianist Krešimir Starčević (1988) in the
Musical Trails Concert Cycle, where they celebrated the one hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of the birth of Croatian composer and music pedagogue
Blagoj Bersa (1873-1934) and Russian composer, pianist and conductor Sergej
Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) in the most beautiful way possible.
….
The resulting silence was broken as expected by the indescribable
approval of the audience, seasoned with applause, shouts and an additional,
unique performance of the arrangement of the third movement of the Marche from
Prokofiev’s satirical opera “The Love for the Three Oranges”, Op. 33.
