Peteris Vasks: Oboe Concerto - Vestijums - Lauda

Latvian composer Pēteris Vasks (b. 1946) is one of the most prominent names among living composers today. This album includes the first recording of Vasks’ atmospheric and pastoral Oboe Concerto written for the centenary celebrations of Latvia’s independence in 2018 and performed by one of today’s leading oboists, Albrecht Mayer. The new concerto is coupled with two early orchestral works from the 1980s, Vēstījums and Lauda. (Ondine)
