Requiem (Kurmet / Publik)
Most composers lack the ability to create beautiful melodies, but the Estonian composer Toivo Kurmet was a master of the art.
This album contains Toivo Kurmet’s best work, which will enthral you and find its way into your heart. These wonderful compositions convey an important message: it is of utmost importance to show compassion to all living beings.
This collection is a celebration of Toivo Kurmet and his greate work. A serious illness stopped him from finishing the recording, which was completed by the Swedish keyboardist Attila Publik. The composer’s last musical piece called ”Requiem”, is the final composition in this collection.
Jüri Lina, publisher
The British music connaisseur George Steven has stated: ”Listening to the music of Toivo Kurmet seemed like a breath of fresh air. I am sure Estonians will be proud of it, and I think they will enjoy performing it. It is modern but not dissonant. It is immediately attractive, because it has a depth to it as well, so the attraction will not wear off. Having failed to meet him while I was in Estonia, I will now have to be content with meeting him by listening to his works.”
This CD is sold, out of print.
