Unlike others, I enjoyed it. It reminded me of Bantock at first & therefore a required taste. Good to see Latvian composers being highlighted & he lived to a good age too all things considered.

Well to be fair Susannah did too but definitely one that split the audience. And delighted that you enjoyed it....

Did you know our old friend Wagner lived and worked in Riga when a young man? Maybe he counts as a Latvian composer? He composed "Rienzi" there

No I don't think we can allow that Barry. What would those poor Latvians think?

I didn't expect to enjoy this, but I did. Lively stuff.

Yes, I was a bit like that. Still, I thought it worth a second listen.

And I think it may be our first Latvian composer. It may also be the last but you never know!!

I'm afraid this was unremarkable stuff, I kept waiting for something to happen, and it just didn't!
