In memoriam composer ESTER MÄGI (10.01.1922–14.05.2021)
Composer Ester Mägi has passed away on May 14, 2021, at the age of 99.
🎼 Chamber music and choral works form the majority of Mägi’s oeuvre, but her Symphony (1968) – the prime example of Mägi's orchestral writing, stands out as a landmark of Estonian symphonic music.

I was actually just wondering the other day whether she was still around, and then the next day I read this. Sad, but a long, full life. I only know the Toccata disc of her orchestral music, but that certainly is delightful.

I, too, am sorry to read of her death, albeit at a great age. I have enjoyed the Toccata cd since it was first issued, and hope that her passing may encourage some more recordings of her works . . .
