More Info:

The phrase 'Baltic music' is not just a label, but a key that unlocks the rich creativity ofcomposers living around the Baltic Sea. However, it is more than a specific style, mood,or aesthetic. It is about a diverse landscape of Baltic music, each piece being a uniquestory of individual experience, desire, and reflection of identity. The Baltic identity manifestsitself in the most diverse ways, as a cultural tapestry that is both engaging andintriguing.The album Baltic Prayer opens up part of this landscape, united by the motifs of peace,and a conversation with oneself, others, or God. Works by the Lithuanian composersAnatolijus senderovas and Jurgis Juozapaitis, by the Latvian composer Peteris Vasks,and by the Estonian composer Arvo Part, are presented. Next to them are some stylisticallyclose compositions by the Norwegian star of choral music Ola Gjeilo, the Britishcomposer John Tavener, and the Ukrainian Myroslav Skoryk.
