About

This special three-album edition celebrates Pēteris Vasks’ 80th anniversary in 2026. The release consists of Vasks’ first three award-winning album releases on Ondine. The debut album of Vasks’ music on Ondine, featuring his Second Symphony and Violin Concerto ‘Distant Light’, was a major international breakthrough for the composer, earning two Cannes Classical Awards in 2004, including ‘Album of the Year’.

In addition to the second orchestral album (with Symphony no.3 and Cello Concerto no.1), released in 2006, this album also includes Vasks’ major choral masterpiece, the Missa, performed by the award-winning Latvian Radio Choir and Sinfonietta Riga conducted by Sigvards Kļava, one of the great exponents of Vasks’ music for many years.
