Immerse yourself in the captivating harmonies of the Latvian Radio Choir with their 2015 release, "Sunrise." This choral masterpiece blends contemporary compositions with poetic texts, creating a rich and diverse listening experience. The album features works by Latvian composers Ēriks Einfelde, Ēriks Ābols, and Pēteris Vasks, alongside settings of poems by F. Barda and E.E. Cummings. The Latvian Radio Choir, known for their impeccable precision and expressive power, brings these pieces to life with stunning vocal artistry. From the hauntingly beautiful "Three Poems by F. Barda" to the dramatic intensity of the "Choral Symphony" and the tender intimacy of the "Four Madrigals by E.E. Cummings," the album offers a journey through a wide range of emotions and musical styles. The inclusion of "Psalm 66" and the avant-garde "Karavane" by Hugo Ball adds further depth and variety to the collection. With a duration of just over an hour, "Sunrise" is a testament to the Latvian Radio Choir's versatility and the enduring power of choral music.
