"This CD is simply fantastic. Once you have listened to it you won't want to play anything else. This fine Croatian pianist is so talented and his skill of the piano is amazing. This CD features Classical pieces with a twist, such as Grieg's piano concerto, Chopin's revolutionary etude, the beautiful Rachmaninov's theme of Paganini and Handel's Sarabande,all with a modern beat.Slower easy listening music like Claudine and energetic, catchy pieces such as, Croatian Rhapsody and Cubana. If you already enjoy traditional Classical music and you are open to change, then you will definitely enjoy this CDThe VCD includes the video of, The Flight of the Bumblebee, a picture gallery and an interview with Maksim, which proves to be a fascinating insight into this popular new pianist."
Go Disco!

"I went to Maksim's concert in Jakarta April 27th, 2004 and also bought his "Piano Player". If you like classical and techno.. well, here's an option to listen. I have nothing better to say.. he's very talented.. you wouldn't guess it."
