My experience tells me that the Baltic countries actually do quite a bit to promote their music, but one has to get in touch with their music information centres. For example, during a recent trip to Riga I was met by a representative, given CDs of Skulte, Ivanovs etc, and taken to the national library where I could photocopy -- gratis -- the entire piano oeuvre of Kalnins. Such a service just does not exist in the UK, for example. These countries have very small financial resources. Finland, which has deeper pockets, does an awful lot more. Think of all those CDs of Aarre Merikanto, etc.
That's quite true re. Finland. But then again, many of those recordings are out of print.
