Overview
Lauma and Baiba Skride’s lunchtime programmeincludes a beguiling suite of pieces by their fellowLatvian, Pēteris Vasks.
The changing moods andsultry lyricism of Maza vasaras muzika serve as abroad bridge between the melodic charms ofSibelius’s Op. 78 and the dark intensity of Nielsen’sViolin Sonata No. 2 in G minor.
