Eugen Cicero - Marching The Classics Balkan Rhapsody

Review by Nadia Julie Froberg

Eugen Cicero's album Marching The Classics Balkan Rhapsody is a beautiful blend of traditional Balkan melodies and classical music. The album features Cicero's virtuosic piano playing, accompanied by a full orchestra and traditional Balkan instruments such as the accordion and cimbalom.

The album opens with the lively "Balkan Rhapsody," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Cicero's piano playing is energetic and precise, and the orchestra provides a rich and dynamic backdrop. The traditional Balkan instruments add a unique flavor to the music, giving it an authentic and folkloric feel.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Romanian Rhapsody," which features a beautiful melody played on the cimbalom. Cicero's piano playing is particularly impressive on this track, as he seamlessly weaves in and out of the traditional melody.
