VASKS Music for a Summer Evening / Georgijs Osokins | Deutsche Grammophon

Pianist Georgijs Osokins’s new single features a performance of Vask’s Music for a Summer Evening. “Latvian summer evenings are miraculous, almost divine — I love them and always long for them: timeless forests, a sky that never settles and burns slowly into night, quiet birch-lined roads, the Baltic Sea breeze. Pēteris Vasks' Music for a Summer Evening breathes the same air, quietly tracing the Latvian path, with its struggles and dark echoes from the past, until everything dissolves as in a fable, where nature becomes a mirror of the soul,” says the pianist about the piece.
