LMIC 117
SKANi celebrates Latvian Radio 3 “Klasika” 25th anniversary with new series of 25 digital albums dedicated to 25 Latvian composers. Series contains soundtracks recorded from 1963 to 2018. Many of the phonograms have been stored in radio archives in the format of magnetic reels and are now carefully restored, digitized, cleaned of noise and magnetic damage accumulated over time by the hands of experienced sound engineers Normunds Slava, Varis Kurmiņš and Modris Bērziņš.
The 22nd album in the series is dedicated to the composer Pēteris Vasks.
