The album The Morning Mist was inspired by the research project 'Latvian Classical Violin Music in Transition, c 1980 - 2000'. It is a musical reflection on important pages in Latvian history at the end of the twentieth century, a significant period that saw the Singing Revolution (a series of social uprisings in the Baltics between 1986 and 1991), the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Riga Barricades and Latvia regaining its independence.

The music selection on this album is stylistically diverse, and that is also how I wanted to showcase the dynamics of these years of transition. The new commissions by Linda Leimane and Eriks Esenvalds, as well as the recently composed work by Platon Buravicky, represent the music of today's Latvia. Esenvalds' music also accents the connection to the Singing Revolution and the tradition of choral music in Latvia. Vasks is represented here as one of Latvia's most important composers of music for string instruments, and his earlier work referencing Latvian folk music serves as a distinctive example of the expression of Latvianness. The Toccata by Kalejs, for its part, is as a monumental work for solo violin that illustrates the long-standing violin traditions in Latvia.

The two premiere recordings of the commissioned works (Esenvalds, Leimane) and Buravicky's Engela skatiens (Angels Gaze) represent the Latvian violin music of today. Although they are stylistically different, the violin is central in all of them.

Platon Buravicky is one of the brightest composers of the younger generation in Latvia. A former student of Peteris Vasks, his style varies from academic music to interests in electronic, electro acoustic and experimental music.

Linda Leimane is one of the most recognised composers of the younger generation in Latvia. She writes for various classical ensembles, collaborates with different disciplines, and also performs electronics. Her ability to create an entire world of imagination through original sound textures encouraged meto commission her to write a new work for violin. The resulting work was The Architectonics of a Crystal Soul for solo violin and ensemble.
