opis

Pēteris Vasks (b. 1946) is considered among the leading Baltic composers of today and is known for his profound musical language. The award-winning Latvian Radio Choir conducted by Sigvards Kļava are dedicating their new album to Pēteris Vasks’ 80th birthday this year. The choir performs several world premiere recordings of Pēteris Vasks’ choral music, including newly written works for the choir, as well as Vasks’ earliest choral composition, dating from 1961. All of the composer’s favoured themes find fertile ground in these works: pantheistic faith, love, silence and homeland. Essentially tonal and diatonic, slow-moving, homophonic and syllabic, fluid and linear, they possess a discreet grace and a fragile luminosity.
