· On their newest release, the Latvian Skride sisters present
yet more composers from their extended Baltic homeland
region. The uniting thread of the works on this album is
"finding one's own sound", something which each of the
featured composers first had to find, and an element that
the sisters effortlessly achieve as performers.
·
All four composers on this recording share a close link with
the violin, and all four had an ambivalent relationship with
the German and were also all friends.
·
The fact that all composers share a very conscious
musicological relationship to their music, which brings
out their "own sound" in their works, proves to be highly
rewarding, both for an unsentimental musicality and for the
performers' flawless, nuanced technique on the piano and
violin, as well as for their open-minded listeners.
