Raimonds Pauls and Imants Ziedonis. And we shall gain no more than a moment

The concert will showcase the maestro Raimonds Pauls' work from around the 1960s and 70s when the composer was keen on experimenting in different genres and styles. The first part will give a new sound to the instrumental suites Kalnu skices (Mountain Sketches), Iespaidi (Impressions), Melnās Krāsas (The Black Colors), and Dienvidu Akvareļi (Southern Watercolors). These were recorded in the middle of last century by the Raimonds Pauls' instrumental trio, but this year the Latvian Radio Big Band has recorded them into completely new arrangements and a whole new album that will take its vinyl form under the recording label Jersika Records. 
During the second part, however, the big band and maestro will be joined by the owner of the ravishing voice Diāna Rudāne and the widely beloved Daumants Kalniņš. Their voices will bring to life songs with Imants Ziedonis' verses - Nenes zvaigznes istabā (Don't Bring the Stars into the Room), Lapsenes nāve (Death of a Wasp), Cher ami and others that serve as testament of the beautiful collaboration between both artists - Pauls and Ziedonis.
