Concerto for Violin and String
Orchestra "Distant Light"
Symphony for Strings "Voices"
KREMERata Baltica, Gidon Kremer -Violine
"If the works Distant
Light and Voices
are any indication, Latvian composer Peteris
Vasks is one of our greatest living composers.
These elegiac works display a profound sense of
passion, energy, and folksiness that seems to
pull at the listener's heartstrings. Gidon
Kremer, as usual, delivers an inspiring
performance here. If you like Arvo Paert and want
to hear more music from the Baltic region, this
is a great place to start."
