About

The Estonian composer Toivo Tulev has forged a unique sound world. His music, with it's almost obsessive focus on religious mysticism, can be sensual and emotional but also cerebral and technically demanding. Tulev often takes inspiration from his extensive travels, in particular from the city of Istanbul which, like his vocal music, bridges East and West. His meditation on the words of Sufi mystic Mansur Al-Hallaj, 'I said, Who are You?- He said, You,' conjures up a transcendent atmosphere, while his Magnificat departs from the text's traditionally solemn setting with it's stratospherically high string writing and wild percussion solos. The Latvian Radio Choir ranks among the top professional chamber choirs in Europe. Working under the leadership of Sigvards Klava and conductor Kaspars Putnins, the choir is renowned for it's tonal finesse and range of expression. The repertoire of the LRC ranges from the Renaissance to the most sophisticated modern scores. The LRC has participated in the top musical forums in Salzburg and Montpellier, the Baltic Sea Festival, Klangspuren Festival, and others, and has performed in many renowned concert halls.
