Besides operas, incidental music and film music, his catalogue of works includes several orchestral works and concertos, songs and choral works. Maskats' compositions are tonal, often romantic and cinematic, and marked by deep atmosphere. One of Maskats' latest creations in the field orchestral music is his Accordion Concerto (2021) here performed by his fellow Latvian, star-accordionist Ksenija Sidorova, one of the brightest names in classical music today. His Tango (2002) for symphony orchestra is Maskats' internationally most well-known and one of the most often performed orchestral pieces of Latvian music. Album Tracks 1. Tango 2.
