Today’s broadcast features the main oratorio by Rudolf Tobias (1873–1918), the grandfather of Estonian classical music.
In Northern Lights we devote an hour each week exclusively to new Scandinavian and Baltic music. Our search for the programme Northern Lights knows no boundaries and ranges from old to, above all, new, and from well-known to lesser-known works. We explore the entire spectrum, from quasi-classical music to cross-overs.
