The works in Baltic Voices 3<\/I> mark the final instalment in a series that has exposed listeners to some of the wonderful choral music hailing from the circle of countries around the Baltic Sea. <\/SPAN>

<\/SPAN>It would be difficult to imagine a finer ensemble than the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir to handle the singing, while the skill of conductor Paul Hillier, in a wide range of music, ensures all the performances are breathtaking. <\/SPAN>

<\/SPAN>Farewelling a cherished project, Hillier’s booklet essay ends with a poignant image from a Tove Jansson book as two of her Moomin characters argue about the right time to light the lamps as winter approaches. <\/SPAN>

<\/SPAN>On the disc, choral singing yet again proves it is one of the most approachable, involving and zesty genres for contemporary music. <\/SPAN>

<\/SPAN>In The Stomping Bride<\/I>, by the Lithuanian Vaclovas Augustinas, a character multi-tasks in the best peasant tradition, working her flax while dancing to a joyous melee of recorders, viola da gamba, harpsichord and percussion. <\/SPAN>

<\/SPAN>I defy you not to be mesmerised by Rytis Mazulis’ The dazzled eye lost its <\/I>speech, spiralling around until the Lithuanian seems to have woven his own soundworld from the inside out. Then there’s the boisterous quartet of Galgenlieder <\/I>by the Finn Erik Bergman. <\/SPAN>

<\/SPAN>Individual titles such as Wallpaper flower<\/I> and Hedgehog and Hadgehog<\/I> betray their whimsical humour – the choir, speaking rather than singing, whisper, cajole, swoop and shout their way to our hearts. <\/SPAN>

<\/SPAN>Among the major works, many receiving a CD premiere, is Nuits, adieux<\/I> by the Finnish Kaija Saariaho. Here, this leading composer explores the elusive boundary between sound and song. <\/SPAN>

<\/SPAN>While Gorecki’s lyrical Five Kurpian Songs<\/I> allow us to catch up with the man who caught the imagination of so many in the 1970s with his Symphony of Sorrows<\/I>, Erkki-Sven Tuur’s Meditatio<\/I> brings in the Rascher Saxophone Quartet to create a score of great spiritual fervour. <\/SPAN>

<\/SPAN>This Baltic Voices<\/I> series could well have continued, as its three CDs are obviously only the tip of a rich choral culture. But hopefully it will encourage some to undertake their own personal explorations of the territory.<\/SPAN>
