René Eespere: Respectus

René Eespere’s (b. 1953, Tallinn) work since the end of the 1970s, accounting for some aesthetic changes, involves tonal mode treatment, ostinato technique and elaborate use of variation, suggesting influences of ancient ritual music, minimalism and the Baroque. Chamber works and concerti rank among his most significant output. This two-disc set of chamber works for guitar includes music written between 1991-2013. The Concerto for Guitar features the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra and conductor Paul Mägi.
