Description:

Liepāja is a collection of works for solo and orchestra by Latvian composers commissioned by the local symphony orchestra in the Latvian city. The composers are from different generations and the set is valuable for understanding the current Latvian composition scene. As the country produced the most internationally known Latvian composer, Petrius Vasks, many of the other composers' works are beautiful with neo-romantic tendencies. Among them, "Arctic Scene: Night" by Esenwals, as the title suggests, is a fantastical piece that evokes a dream of a night in the North and is well worth listening to. Carlson's "Gliese 581" is a spectacular work that could be called a 21st century version of "The Planets" (although it is a dwarf planet), depicting a red dwarf star about 20 light years away from the solar system. Recommended for lovers of Scandinavian and Baltic music. Tobu Land System
