Translations

The multi-award-winning Latvian composer Eriks Esenvalds' 21stcentury choral sound is both exquisite and angular, and in this album he explores ideas of 'translation', legend and the divine. With his expanded tonality and employment of shimmering singing handbells in Translation, and the angelic use of the viola and cello

in In paradisum he creates music of ravishing refinement. In The Legend of the Walled-In Woman Esenvalds transcribes and employs an authentic Albanian folk song.
