All the works of the Latvian composer Peteris Vasks on this release are written for string orchestra: the three connected compositions "Musica serena", "Musica dolorosa" and "Musica appassionata", and also Vasks' Concerto No 2 for Violoncello and Strings. Vasks' three instrumental pieces here are light-hearted, tragic, and passionate. (BR Klassik)
