Latvian composer Peteris Vasks (born 1946) is one of the most prominent names among living composers today. This album by the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Andris Poga includes the first recording of Vasks’ atmospheric and pastoral Oboe Concerto written for the centenary celebrations of Latvia’s independence in 2018 and performed by one of today’s leading oboists, Albrecht Mayer. The new concerto is coupled with two early orchestral works from the 1980s, Vestijums and Lauda – both musical manifestations from the final years of the Soviet Union when occupied Latvia started its peaceful fight to regain the country’s independence.

“Der lettische Komponist Arturs Maskats (geb. 1957) steht seit Jahrzehnten im Zentrum des lettischen Kulturlebens, insbesondere im Bereich Theater und Oper. Neben Opern, Bühnenmusik und Filmmusik umfasst sein Werkkatalog mehrere Orchesterwerke und -konzerte, Lieder und Chorwerke. Dieses neue Album des lettischen Nationalorchesters und seines Dirigenten Andris Poga enthält eines von Maskats’ neuesten Werken im Bereich der Orchestermusik: sein Akkordeonkonzert (2021), das hier von seiner lettischen Kollegin, der Star-Akkordeonistin Ksenija Sidorova, einem der klügsten Namen der heutigen klassischen Musik, gespielt wird. Maskats’ Kompositionen sind tonal, oft romantisch und cineastisch und von einer tiefen Atmosphäre geprägt. Seinen internationalen Ruf verdankt er vor allem seinem Tango (2002), einem preisgekrönten Werk für Sinfonieorchester, das auch zu den meistgespielten Orchesterwerken eines lettischen Komponisten zählt. Im Jahr 2022 wurde das Werk auch von den Wiener Philharmonikern und Andris Nelsons in der Reihe der Sommernachtskonzerte in Schonbrunn aufgeführt. Im Grunde genommen macht Maskats mit dem Tango etwas Ähnliches wie Ravel mit dem Walzer in seiner La Valse.”
