Latvian music

[Corentin Boissier]

The last 2 minutes are missing in the file of KALSONS Romualds: "Symphony for Chamber Orchestra No. 2 (Somu simfonija [Finnish Symphony])" (1992), LMA-orķestris Sinfonia Concertante, Andris Vecumnieks.
The file ends abruptly.
If you could re-upload the work in its entirety, I would be very grateful...

Thanks for the Medins Violin Concerto! Any chance at getting the movements tempos?

Unfortunately I don't have the movements' tempos - they weren't listed in the LR3 archive from which I recorded the work.   When I uploaded it to UC I omitted the spoken introduction as I don't understand Latvian.  I do however still have the introduction and the concluding remarks;  I don't think the tempos are given, but here are the announcements and perhaps Maris can tell us if there is anything of interest:

I might be able to inquire to the Latvian Music Association or whatever its called. I know I had some success with Estonian music by inquiring to their national music organization.
