About this product

Having garnered the ultimate accolades from a host of arts review pages for her premiere recording on the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie's organ and on the double organ of the Taiwanese Kaohsiung Center for the Arts, concert organist Iveta Apkalna now presents her third on the Berlin Classics tag as a triple album. Triptychon spans three centuries and three religious confessions on one single organ Johann Sebastian Bach, Franz Liszt and Peteris Vasks can be heard on this, the first of a recording played in Neubrandenburg's Concert Church on the organ which she helped to develop and inaugurated. Apkalna opens the first altar panel with three works by her compatriot and personal friend alongside Arvo Pärt, Peteris Vasks is the best known and most often played Baltic composer. InchLatvia is Peteris Vasks and Peteris Vasks is Latvia,Inch explains the organist. InchI hear the landscape of Latvia in his music, the far horizons of our flat country, the meadows and forests, birdsong and the sea. Peteris Vasks is undoubtedly a truly Latvian character, though he also breathes the 'global air'. Otherwise people all around the world would not love his music.Inch Johann Sebastian Bach is at the heart of Iveta Apkalna's triptych - just as he is central to the career of any organist. For her, his Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C major BWV564, the Trio Sonata in D minor BWV527 and the six Schübler Chorales BWV645-650 represent the greatest possible stylistic, compositional and tonal variety backed up by personal motives. Franz Liszt, who achieved worldwide fame as a travelling virtuoso and visionary composer, was also a formidable organist who, towards the end of his career, took holy orders. His oeuvre too is close to Iveta Apkalna's heart. Album Tracks 1. Hymnus 2. Balta ainava 3. Musica seria 1. Toccata, Adagio und Fuge, BWV 564~Toccata 2. Toccata, Adagio und Fuge, BWV

Jacques Hetu was a firmly established musical figurehead in Canada when he was commissioned by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra to write the Symphony No. 5. As a student of Clermont Pepin in Montreal and later of Henri Dutilleux and Olivier Messiaen in Paris, his tonal language bridged the Atlantic, making his choice of eluard - one of France's most celebrated poets (and Resistance members) - a natural one. Three short weeks before the symphony's premiere in 2010, Hetu passed away. Alexander Shelley brings this work back to life surrounded by two great Canadian orchestras, Canada's National Arts Centre Orchestra and l'Orchestre symphonique de Quebec, and a choir, the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir. Album Tracks 1. Symphonie no. 5, Op. 81 / Symphony No. 5, Op. 81~I. Prologue. Allegretto 2. Symphonie no. 5, Op. 81 / Symphony No. 5, Op. 81~II. L'invasion [The Invasion]. Vivace 3. Symphonie no. 5, Op. 81 / Symphony No. 5, Op. 81~III. L'occupation [The Occupation]. Adagio 4. Symphonie no. 5, Op. 81 / Symphony No. 5, Op. 81~IV. Liberté [Liberty]. Andante
