Sinfonietta Rīga. Mocarta klavierkoncerts un Hafnera simfonija

“Nordic tranquillity and Nordic fire meets in him,” says composer Pēteris Vasks of his friend and colleague Juha Kangas. The Finnish conductor, who appears serious and reserved at first, has always been driven by an unstoppable fascination with Baltic and Nordic music, and many will agree that several times he alone has managed to find the key to the mysterious and often baffling Northern world of sound.

Another of Kangas' spiritual relatives in music is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. His “Haffner Symphony” was composed on request of a prominent Salzburg family; the 23rd Piano Concerto was written and premièred in Vienna, but in Riga it will be performed by Reinis Zariņš, a Latvian pianist living and working in London.
