Light, morning

Torino / Saturday 18 September 2021

Concert programme by Federico Capitoni

Music from the most spellbinding of the new Estonian composers, whose Moorland Elegies drew raucous applause at the 2017 edition of MITO SettembreMusica. He’s back with a powerful vocal cycle featuring lyrics based on poetry by Cesare Pavese, which he calls “a hymn for life and love, sung from the depths.” It’s hard to remain indifferent to Kõrvits’ allure.
