Alexander Djordjevic is now on MySpace as well as Facebook.  Listen to full-length music selections from his CDs at www.MySpace.com/adjpiano.

"Djordjevic brings great subtlety to this well programmed Liszt Disc" proclaims Gramophone, which is published in the U. K. and is one of the most important classical music magazines in the world.

It goes on to write "...Djordjevic's mastery and commitment are never in doubt. Listen to the first Elegie's carefully gauged climaxes, the subtle gradations in tone that help flesh out Nuages gris' sparse textures, the warm legato that embraces Romance oubliée's soft chords, or how the pianist imbues the Bagatelle ohne Tonart's grace notes with a convincing jazzy flair."

Alexander Djordjevic's latest CD, "Gray Clouds: Piano Music of Franz Liszt," has already been played on over 24 classical radio stations throughout the United States and Canada and has been featured on the New Release Show "This Just In" in Norfolk, Virginia, and "Classical Debut" show in St. Louis, Missouri!

This is to announce that my new CD will entirely consist of late piano works of Franz Liszt.

Recording is finally completed for my new upcoming CD recording. There are about 80-85 minutes of music, so I'm not sure if everything will fit on one CD, but we'll see. I'm very pleased with how things went.

Now, the next step is the editing process, which will likely be completed by the end of October.

The 9-foot Steinway D grand piano sounded great and was a lot of fun to play. I can't wait to hear the finished product!

Next week, I'll be recording music for a new CD. It's music that I've loved for many years, but have recently been intrigued by even more.

For now, all I can say is that the music can be characterized as "dark."

I expect it to become available to the public around the end of the year.
