Vasks - Cantus ad pacem

Viatore

Talivaldis Deksni (organ)

This CD is the first to be devoted exclusively to the organ music of the Latvian composer, Peteris Vasks.With the exception of the Te Deum, recorded in St. Gertrude in Riga, all of the works were recorded on the magnificent organ of the cathedral in Riga. Talivaldis Deksnis, one of the principal organists of this venerable house of worship, since 1984, has performed all of Vasks's works for organ, many of them for the first time. Besides original compositions for organ, this CD also includes two adaptations of works for string orchestra: Viatore and Canto di forza, both dedicated to Talivaldis Deksnis, with whom Vasks has maintained a lifelong friendship.

Peteris Vasks - Viatore

Vasks:

Musica adventus per orchestra d'archi

Viatore

Concerto per corno inglese ed orchestra

Normunds Šne (cor anglais & conductor)

Sinfonietta Riga

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.
