Description
With this album, Skani is delighted to not only celebrate the 25th anniversary of Kremerata Baltica, but also to offer music lovers all over the world premiere recordings of compositions that have been made in their homeland of Latvia.
Latvia's most creative composers Peteris Plakidis, Kristaps Petersons and Georgs Pelecis are strongly associated with Kremerata Baltica and have dedicated wonderful music to it.
"I hope these works will inspire our listeners and we will see this music as a step by Kremerata Baltica towards the future." - Gidon Kremer
"there's a kind of combined seriousness and playfulness which serves to mark 25 years of Kremerata Baltica with an understated generosity of spirit typical of its founder, the Latvian violinist Gidon Kremer." - BBC Music Magazine, Performance 4 STARS, Recording 4 STARS
"The "Little Concerto" by Peteris Plakidis (1947-2017) is "only" a violin duo that sounds like an intimate concerto, the "Three Pieces" by Georgs Pelecis (*1947) remind us of Peteris Vasks. The works by Kristaps Petersons (*1982) are a discovery." - FONO FORUM
