Latvian Radio Choir, Sigvards Klava, Kristine Adamaite - Anton Bruckner: Latin Motets

This album, Latin Motets, released in November 2020 by Ondine, brings together profound, mostly a cappella sacred Latin motets by Austrian composer Anton Bruckner (1824–1896), spanning his creative career from 1848 to 1892. Recorded in the Riga Cathedral, the award-winning Latvian Radio Choir conducted by Sigvards Kava performs the composer's most famous and devout masterpieces—such as "Locus iste", "Ave Maria", and "Christus factus est"—with perfect blend and purity, while also featuring rarer gems like works performed with organist Kristne Adamaite and tenor Jnis Kurševs, as well as the four-part Kronstorfer Messe.
