That extraordinary choral sound, the colours, textures, drama and inventiveness that defines Estonian music will be celebrated tonight on Vespertine. On the eve of Estonia’s national holiday, Ellen dives deep into the well of its music, from the household names of Arvo Part and Veljo Tormis, to the folk and jazz scenes, to draw up a wealth of bewitching beauty. A singing nation with a proud love of their music, the music of Estonia is rich, varied, and powerful.
