Popular classical-crossover pianist Maksim enthralled Malaysian music lovers at an intimate concert on Valentine’s Day, where he performed a collection of his greatest hits on the first stop of his 2023 The Collection Asia Tour.

The Croatian musician, who returned to perform in Malaysia after almost 20 years (his first concert was in 2004), is recognised as the world’s highest-selling crossover pianist, having sold over four million copies of his albums throughout 57 countries.
