“A bracing selection of contemporary Latvian music combining Eastern color and Western sonorities in dazzling combinations with an operatic intensity that will leave you breathless.”
- BBC Music Magazine
“All three composers featured on this luxuriously presented release hail from the Latvian region of Kurland (also known as Courland), and their music enjoys admirably secure and understanding advocacy from the Liepāja SO under Atvars Lakstīgala [...] Soloist Ints Dālderis performs brilliantly… Boasting superior production values and most helpful documentation, this anthology deserves to do very well.”
- Gramophone
The title Kurland Sounds refers to the coastal area of Western Latvia also known as Courland, in which the Lepāja Symphony Orchestra was established in 1881. The region is also where these three composers can be said to originate, so sonic synergy is a very active element of this recording.
