Thanks

(Amazing how many composers such a small country has produced in the C20).

Vasks' Sala sounds rather English in places. You don't suppose the island in question is Britain, do you?

Many thanks, Maris, for the Kepitis symphonies :)

Another Latvian composer completely unknown to me :)

Ivanovo Symphony No 13 "symphonia humana" has spoken word commentary between the movements (in Latvian, obviously).

Does anyone know what the gist of this is?, I am enjoying the music immensely (ditto the rest of Ivanovs' symphonies).

I don't speak Latvian myself, but I remember that (our member) Latvian once said the text is an eulogy for Lenin. Moreover, I somehow have in mind the symphony is dedicated to Lenin's 100th birthday, so this seems to make sense. Given these circumstances, it is of course a bit strange it is actually the only of Ivanovs' later symphonies which Melodiya did not bring out on LP! In any case, I also like this symphony a lot. It is distinguished by a special atmosphere, serious and solemn at the same time, somewhat remote and thoughtful especially in the outer movements.

Interesting, probably one of the best paeans to Lenin ever! The first movement after the prologue I found very good, it had a striving, coming into being sort of quality, the other instrumental movements were very good too.

a misplaced paean, but a fine work nonetheless.

Latvian-Candian pianist Arturs Ozoliņš is very much alive. The obituary quoted in the upload of Mediņš' 24 Dainas is for someone else. Pianist Ozoliņš was born in 1946, not 1920, the date cited in the obituary.

I've also met pianist Ozoliņš and he certainly is much more youthful than the gentleman in the obituary would have been.

Thanks... I will delete that ob then.

Thank You all for so many interesting pieces of music form Latvia.

I am now listening to music of Andrejs Jurjans, but for me Latvia together with Slovakia, and Finnland is very important to such typ[e of music.

If it possible please somebody upload this orchestral piece of Adolfs Abele, that has Orphan in title, and the second part of ballet Negaiss by Skulte, because in this link i saw, are only part 1 and 3.

Somebody knows maybe which one of the latvian composers use the original latvian and latgalian folk melodies in the symphonic or other works ?

What Jurjans works have been recorded other than the Symphonic Allegro?  It blows my socks off every time I listen to it, so I would love to hear his other works.

Yes indeed, Jurjans' Symphonic Allegro is a riveting work! I'd certainly like to hear more of his music :)
