The expertise of the Latvian National Symphony’s contribution under Andris Poga plus the quality of sound make for a distinctive overview of a composer worth encountering.

Ķeniņš' music is too good to be ignored and these performances do it full justice; I am sure that they will play a part in securing his music its deserved status.
