New Sounds
New Music from Estonia
Show #2166
Sunday, April 03, 2005
In what seems like an ever-growing number of composers from the tiny Baltic country of Estonia to win a following in the West, a few composers stand out from the pack. Veljo Tormis is one such artist. Listen to his Runo songs (performed as a call and response between a lead singer and a chorus) on this edition of New Sounds. Also, hear a symphony based on traditional Runo songs from the late Lepo Sumera, along with works by Arvo Pärt and Erkki-Sven Tüür.
