Thank you Shirley.

To clarify, this is just movement 2 of 4 movements.

Peteris Vasks is a GOD & most people in North America have never heard of him...
Vasks has TUNES galore, as a composer if you haven't got TUNES change occupations
Well done Sinfonia Toronto, Marina & the conductor etc I just realised so many tempo changes...

[@NurhanArman]

Thank you Horace, in complete agreement.

[@hlim431]

Nurhan, is Marina any relation to the late (great) Jacques Thibaud in France? Of the Casals/Cortot/Thibaud trio? From whom I learnt Mendelssohn D-minor trio

[@NurhanArman]

@@hlim431 no, it's spelled differently.

[@Paul49Giloi]

Thank you very much for posting this. First time I have heard it. There is not one piece by Peteris Vasks that isn't amazing.

[@sinfoniatoronto100]

Thank you!

[@LizzieRowland]

Where did you get the orchestral parts from?

[@sinfoniatoronto100]

Try Schirmer or European-American Music. Best regards

Look up Schott Music in Germany
