Psalmen

For their second release on Ondine the acclaimed Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir under chief conductor Daniel Reuss perform Psalm settings by Felix Mendelssohn and Estonian composer Cyrillus Kreek (1889-1962).
The first release of the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir was given an 'Editor's Choice' accolade by Gramophone and 'Disc of the Year' by renowned German weekly DIE ZEIT. Cyrillus Kreek, a graduate of the St Petersburg Conservatory and a collector of folk songs, laid the foundation for Estonian professional music. The unique coupling highlights the familiarity between Mendelssohn and Kreek in terms of vocal and harmonic setting.
