  • Description

    The strength and richness of Estonian classical music has its origins in two contrasting schools - the international outlook taught by Heino Eller in Tartu and the craftsmanship fostered by Artur Kapp in Tallinn. This album presents Eller's complete output for cello and piano in its first recording, complemented by works by two of his more important students, Eduard Oja and Eduard Tubin. Villem Reimann and Herman Kand, both students of Kapp, had very different careers, Reimann an established professor in Soviet Estonia, and Kand dying unknown in American exile at only 46. This is the first recording of any of his music in over half a century.
