Heldur Harry Põlda (boy soprano)

Tallinn Sinfonietta, Risto Joost

Recorded in St. Jacob’s Church in Viimsi, Estonia, boy soprano Heldur Harry Polda is studying at the Tallinn Music High School and performs a beautiful selection of gentle works by Gluck, Cacinna, Faure, Schubert and includes Lionel Bart’s ‘Where is Love’ from Oliver. He is joined on this recording by the Tallinn Sinfonietta and conducted by veteran conductor Risto Joost to present a definitive collection, Cantus angelicus.

“Põlda is not averse to using some restrained vibrato, though this seems to heighten the perceived vulnerability in his young voice, rather than propel him into mini-tenor territory...One of the highlights is actually the final song, Caruso, which shows Põlda’s convincing ability to emote as a singer.” MusicWeb International, 18th April 2013

Sonata for solo violin in A minor, Op. 27 No. 2


Jennifer Koh (violin)

Bach & Beyond Part 1 and its sequels will appeal to Bach fans as well as those interested in contemporary music. Listeners will explore how composers influence each other across the centuries as Koh pairs Bach’s sonatas and partitas with works by living composers

“An imaginative programme, beautifully played, but just lacking that last ounce of flexibility in the Bach. Koh is more at home in the Saariaho and Mazzoli.” BBC Music Magazine, April 2013 ****

“Koh has programmed her beautifully played disc so its direct references and quotes stand so starkly next to its template that it's impossible to miss them.” Gramophone Magazine, February 2013
