Hele-Mall Leego (soprano), Maarja Helstein (alto), Raul Mikson (tenor), Ott Kask (bass), Leho Karin (cello), Marianne Pärna (alto) & Tallinn Chamber Orchestra, Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, Risto Joost

New album by the award-winning Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir together with Tallinn Chamber Orchestra led by Risto Joost includes one of Tõnu Kõrvits’ (b. 1969) most recent works, You Are Light and Morning (Sei la luce e il mattino). Kõrvits, one of the most prominent Estonian composers of our time, has created an impressive 60-minute piece for choir and orchestra based on the poetry of 20th century Italian writer Cesare Pavese. The work was premiered by the choir and the orchestra under the baton of Risto Joost in Tallinn in June 2019 and was hailed by many as one of Kõrvits’ greatest achievements.
