For their second release on Ondine the acclaimed Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir under chief conductor Daniel Reuss perform Psalm settings by Felix Mendelssohn and Estonian composer Cyrillus Kreek (1889-1962).
Cyrillus Kreek, a graduate of the St Petersburg Conservatory and a collector of folk songs, laid the foundation for Estonian professional music.
The unique coupling highlights the familiarity between Mendelssohn and Kreek in terms of vocal and harmonic setting.
