Gavin Bryars, 2008

"Curiously timeless music, mediating between the 14th century and the present in a teasingly expressive and lusciously beautiful way." -- The Guardian "One of the world's finest choirs." -- Gramophone A recording of major choral works of Gavin Bryars , personally supervised by the composer and performed by one of the world's finest ...

Peteris Vasks: Gramata cellam; Partita; Episodi e canto perpetuo
David Geringas, Peteris Vasks, ...

Hanssler Classics, 2008

Latvian composer Pçteris Vasks has established himself over the past couple of decades as one of the leading exponents of the "new spirituality" in music, joining other composers such as John Tavener, Arvo Pärt, and Giya Kancheli in writing deceptively simple, emotionally direct music. This is a valuable addition to the modern chamber music ...
  
  











  



  
Peteris Vasks: Symphony No. 2; Violin Concerto "Distant Light"
Peteris Vasks, John Storgårds, ...

Ondine, 2003

Walking where no-one has walked
Seeing what no-one has seen - there's something of that in the appeal of this first-rate CD. But the exellent, almost unheard of music, which twists through many moods and voicings is the real selling point. Storgards plays brilliantly in 'Distant Light' and the ...
  
  











  



  
Vasks: Distant Light / Voices
Peteris Vasks, Gidon Kremer, ...

Elektra / Wea, 1999

Compelling
Simply a "must hear" if you are a fan of Part and love the beauty of violins.
  
  











  



  
Baltic Voices 1 / Kreek Sandstrom / Rautavaara / Part / Vasks
Arvo Part, Einojuhani Rautavaara, ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2003

Ethereally amazing
Many composers from Baltic countries round out this incredible compact disc, sung by a collection of excellent voices. The vocal blending is tremendous, despite isolation of the voices over several parts in, at times, serious dissonance. The music is so haunting, I ...
  
  











  



  
Weill: Concerto for Violin & Wind Orchestra; Vasks: Concerto for Violin & String Orchestra 'Distant Light'
Peteris Vasks, Kurt Weill, ...

Hyperion UK, 2005

The question and the answer
Kurt Weill composed his violin concerto in 1924 when he was just 24, shortly before he transitioned away from the strictly classical. It shows the influence of Stravinsky and Schoenberg. There is also a noticeable jazz influence. It has been described as "wonderfully ...
  
  











  



  
Peteris Vasks: String Quartet No. 4
Peteris Vasks, Kronos Quartet

Nonesuch, 2003

A secret door from Baltic Avenue to Boardwalk
Growing up in downtown Winnipeg during the 1950s I was part of hordes of other children, most of them unruly, who had a lot of time on their hands during the long two-month summer holidays which in relative time were actually two centuries long. With the temperature ...
  
  











  



  
Peteris Vasks: Violin Concerto 'Distant Light'; Musica Dolorosa; Viatore
Mats Levin, Peteris Vasks, ...

Bis, 2005

"Distant Light" & two short orchestral works beautifully realized
The music of Peteris Vasks of Latvia is not hard to understand. It is an emotional music that uses mainly minor keys and slow tempos to express sadness, grief, mourning, reverence, prayerfulness, and also a spiritual hopefulness that emerges on the other side of the ...
  
  











  



  
Music of Peteris Vasks
France Springuel, Peteris Vasks, ...

Telarc, 1997

Musica Dolorosa
A critical review of a work, in a music store, may be received poorly. Because mostly people who want to purchase that work, will visit the particular page in the first place. That said, I do not want to issue a critical review on Vasks' music. This music is of an ...

Northern Lights: Music of Contemplation for a New Age
Uuno Klami, Joonas Kokkonen, ...

Finlandia, 1995

je ne sais quoi
The music on this CD is hauntingly beautiful and much of it fills me with strange and wistful longings--a sort of "happy sadness," perhaps correspondent to the German concept of Sehnsucht.
  
  











  



  
Vasks: Message
Ligita Zemberga, Peteris Vasks, ...

RCA, 2005

A great bargain for great music
This is one of my favorite CDs. I enjoy listening to contemporary Eastern European composers, so I bought this CD because it was cheap, long (over 76 minutes of music), and because it contains music written by a Latvian, Peteris Vasks, born in 1946. I did not know ...

Reference Recordings, 2006

magical debut album
Ten thumbs up! I have to say I was hesitant at first when I saw the lineup of composers & pieces I'd never heard of, but I have rarely enjoyed a new classical music album as much as Fan's. The album is dramatic, bold, and poetic, with sweeping musical ideas, the ...
