Following on from their successful recording of liturgical Vasks compositions (“Beautifully performed, a rare outing for Vask’s choral music” – Gramophone ‘recommends’), the Latvian Radio Choir once again draws on the Baltic countries’ extraordinary choir music tradition, focusing here on secular repertoire.
The title piece on this disc is Plainscapes, written in 2002 for mixed choir, violin and cello on commission from Gidon Kremer. Meditating on the inspiring beauty of the Latvian lowlands, it celebrates nature’s cyclic miracles.
Birth (2008) for choir and percussion pays tribute to the sun as a symbol for life.
World première recordings of Our Mother’s Names, The Sad Mother, Summer and Small, Warm Holiday.
