Chopin Obsession

CHOPIN OBSESSION - PBS TV star and Emmy nominated pianist and composer Marina Arsenijevic, latest album “Chopin OBSESSION” will be released worldwide as a Valentine tribute to the great composer Frédéric Chopin on February 16, 2024 by United World Bravo Music on all major streaming platforms including Apple Music & Spotify.

Marina was inspired to lovingly assemble her favorite Chopin compositions which included  14 Waltzes along with Fantasie-Impromptu and Ballade G Minor No.1 into an album titled “Chopin OBSESSION”.  Marina’s life story comes from the turbulence of war in former Yugoslavia/Serbia and has given her a special insight into Chopin’s musical “cry” for national identity while living and composing in Paris away from his native land of Poland, troubled by Russian aggression. Marina’s war time experiences of national disintegration has given her an unique perspective on Chopin’s work and enabled her to understand the full range of emotional nuances expressed in Chopin’s music from loneliness to melancholy to a bold expression to fight for right.  It would be very hard for any pianist to fully express Chopin’s music without the insights of desperation that a life and death conflict imparts on the observer. Rather than putting the technical nature of Chopin’s compositions in the forefront, Marina has molded every piece to reveal its underlying emotional story using her nuanced virtuosity as needed to fully expose the genius of Chopin to the listener.

Balkan Sounds

BALKAN SOUNDS, a new modern classical album by pianist and composer MARINA ARSENIJEVIC will be released on all major platforms worldwide on August 26, 2022, by United World Bravo Music. The album includes four original compositions including TESLA RHAPSODY, HOMOLJE, MY SWEETHEART and FIRE & SOUL. 

TESLA RHAPSODY is a groundbreaking “tour de force” composition for piano and orchestra by award-winning pianist and composer MARINA ARSENIJEVIC. 

HOMOLJE:  Marina was inspired to create an “ode” to a small region in Eastern Serbia known as Homolje. 

MY SWEETHEART was created by Marina as a tribute to all the men and women who wait, full of hope, for their loved ones to return from the battles of war. 

FIRE & SOUL mimics the sound of the instrument “cimbalom” which comes from Marina’s childhood memories of Balkan Gypsy musicians playing furiously to maintain the beat.

It is the renowned scientist and inventor Nikola Tesla whose inventions are recognized as vital foundations for the technological advances of both the 20th & 21st centuries.
