Description:

Sven Toor is an Estonian-born composer. Having led the rock group "In Spe" in his youth, he is known for his nine symphonies, vocal works, and other exciting works that "fuse classical music and progressive rock. On this album, you will hear a viola concerto with London-born viola player Lawrence Power as soloist, a recorder concerto with another acclaimed recorder player, Genevieve Lacy, as soloist, and the 8th symphony, composed in 2010. The Recorder Concerto was inspired by the composing hut on Heeumaa Island, Tour's birthplace, and the Viola Concerto is colored by a mysterious atmosphere. Tour's music in these two pieces is constantly changing and developing, and his relationship with the soloists is deepening. The "Symphony" for small orchestra is also a genre-borderless music typical of Tour.
