Peteris Vasks - Viatore

Peteris Vasks' early style owed much to the aleatoric experiments of Lutoslawski, Penderecki and Crumb. Later works include elements of Latvian folk music, such as his gentle and pastoral cor anglais concerto of 1989. His important works include Viatore, Symphony #2, Music for a deceased Friend et al. Living in Riga as a freelance composer, he feels strongly about environmental issues and a sense of nature both pristine and destroyed can be found in many of his works.
