To be released on 4 July:

Kõrvits: Beyond the Solar Fields
Tamberg: Bassoon Concerto, Op. 108

An intriguing program, by the way.

Always great to have more Tamberg on disc! Besides the excellent BIS album of his Concerto Grosso, Symphonic Dances, and Joanna Tentata Suite, there's not many recordings of his music that are readily available. Everything I've heard by Tamberg has been really characterful and engaging.

Indeed, Cesar. It's just annoying how certain tracks from these albums are not available on Spotify for some reason! It does appear that most of the works contained therein can be found on YouTube, though. Very bizarre cover art, btw!

The Tormis Incantation for a stormy sea - must be fun to sing!

Both discs are extremely rewarding. I believe the paintings may be by Jüri Arrak, an estonian painter with some arresting concepts.

They are not the same work but Jonah's Mission / Des Jona Sendung is a revision of Jonah Oratorio and both are published. Maybe think of it like Prokofiev Symphony No. 4, op. 47 is from 1929-30 and his Symphony No. 4, op. 112 is from 1947. To me, they're very different versions of the composer wanting a do over, but both are published and I think quite different.

Thanks for the info!
