Complete description

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.
