Northern Lights

Every fortnight on Northern Lights: one hour devoted exclusively to Scandinavian and Baltic music. There are no limits to our search for music old and new, famous and unknown. And we like to include the whole spectrum of classical music and crossovers, too. On today’s programme: Latvian and Finnish works by young composers, symphonic works and works for solo piano with a jazzy edge.

Programme summary:

• Karlis Lacis [featured image]. Concerto for piano and orchestra no. 1 (2020). Liepaja Symphony Orchestra led by Atvars Lakstigala with Agnese Eglina (piano)
