Aints / Nyman- Estonian Incantations (CD)
This remarkable recording explores an unsuspected soundworld - that of guitars, electric and acoustic, and chorus, in new works by five contemporary Estonian composers, whose styles range from the primitivism of ancient Estonian magical incantations via plainsong-like meditation to electronic sampling. Ain Agan writes of this release: "The idea for this recording came about thanks to a guitar festival which takes place in the town of Viljandi in southern Estonia. As I was compiling the festival programme, I began to look for opportunities to broaden guitar music with other musical groups. First and foremost, I wanted to commission some new Estonian compositions. As I have been active in the world of guitar music as a producer and musician for decades, I have many contacts and I know what people are capable of. Hence it was easy to decide whom to engage in the project. For the choral contribution, I immediately thought about the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, which is known around the world for it's sensitive interpretations of different genres..."
