Description
This double album of Dubra's organ music, performed by Ilze and Aigars Reinis on the famous F. E. Walcker organ of Riga Cathedral, was recorded in the composer's anniversary year, collecting everything he has composed for organ, thus far. Regarding further collaboration with the organ, the composer himself says I believe that it will continue...
"Organs have always been important to me, even when not considering my childhood during the occupation, my grandparents' involvement with the church, even then, allowed me the opportunity to feel and love the magical sound of this instrument. And that has slowly developed... In the 1990s, in an unexpected way, I became an organist, and then I felt this closeness even more. Then began my first attempts to compose for this instrument, and this continues to this day, and, in a surprising way, it reveals things that I would have been doubtful about had I not had this relationship with the organ, for example, how fantastic it is to write fugues... I believe that will continue."
- Rihards Dubra
