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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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 \u003ci\u003eLatvianness\u003c\/i\u003e. The Toccata by Kalejs, for its part, is as a monumental work for solo violin that illustrates the long-standing violin traditions in Latvia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two premiere recordings of the commissioned works (Esenvalds, Leimane) and Buravicky's \u003ci\u003eEngela skatiens (Angels Gaze) \u003c\/i\u003erepresent the Latvian violin music of today. Although they are stylistically different, the violin is central in all of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaton Buravicky\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLinda Leimane\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Architectonics of a Crystal Soul\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e for solo violin and ensemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMiglainais rits \/ The Morning Mist\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTokata vijolei solo op. 40 \/ Toccata for solo violin, op. 40\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaza vasaras muzika \/ Little Summer Music: I Plasi, skanigi \/ Broad, sonorous\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eII.
