Review excerpts
Krešimir Starčević is on the same wavelength as Stražanac. His playing is of rare sensitivity and tonal beauty, and he has a wonderful knack for listening to the singer, entering into a dialogue with him, and developing the music further.

As in their previous recitals, Stražanac and Starčević are superb. It is a flawless collaboration, in which the esprit of post-Schubert salon music is embraced to the fullest. Starčević gives definition to the arpeggiated melodic contour, while Stražanac lends his warm, yet nimble, timbre to a wide palette of expression.

An album to explore, to weep to, to dream. It is astonishing and delightful to see how much the vocal lines, the quality of the singing and Krešimir Starčević’s pianistic sensitivity merge into a higher, inseparable unity.

Much of that ‘royal’ essence — signifying the crowning, sublime, and prestigious — was embodied in the performance delivered by Stražanac and Starčević.
