In Focus: Veljo Tormis

Focus on Veljo Tormis

Prominent Estonian composer Veljo Tormis is mostly known for his masterly, folk-inspired choral compositions. Perusing his works list, one is amazed at its lopsided appearance: while Tormis wrote songs, chamber, orchestral, stage, and film music (more than 30 film scores), his massive choral output easily surpasses the other genres combined. - Robert Cummings
