Pianist Reinis Zariņš presents a new double CD set featuring solo piano works of 21st century Latvian composers. After his studies at Yale University and London Royal Academy of Music, Reinis returned to his roots in Latvia where he currently makes his home. Reinis has commissioned and premiered works by many leading Latvian composers, including Pēteris Vasks, Andris Dzenītis, Georgs Pelēcis, Rihards Dubra, Ēriks Ešenvalds, Arturs Maskats, Linda Leimane and Andrejs Selickis. Most of Reinis’s discography contains works by Latvian composers, and it gives him great joy when he grasps yet another characteristic of the Latvian DNA through the compositions of his compatriots. For his services to the Latvian culture, Reinis has been awarded with the Order of the Three Stars, and has won Latvia’s Grand Music Award five times. These distinctions are the highest forms of Latvian state recognition.
