- Latvian Patriotic Cantatas
The inextinguishable flares of Latvian patriotism and national self-awareness have given strong impulses for the creation of many classical and contemporary musical masterpieces by Latvian composers since the second half of the 19th century. Among those, perhaps the three most important works are the cantatas recorded on this CD. They have retained their artistic value up to the present day, having become especially pertinent with a new significance in the context of the third renaissance of the Latvian culture.
