Peteris Vasks: Distant Light | Daniel Rowland (Violin), Challenge Classics / CC72830

The seeds of this beautiful new album were sown when Dutch/English violinist Daniel Rowland invited Peteris Vasks to be Composer in Residence at their 2019 Stiftfestival in Holland. The festival centered around Peteris' works in all forms - solo, chamber and orchestral. But it was the closing concert in the 15th century Plechelmus Basiliek in Oldenzaal, which inspired composer and artist alike to collaborate on this album.
