This 2014 release from the Latvian Radio Choir conducted by Sigvards Kłava features timeless choral works by three composers from Russia and Latvia: Yuri Falik, Arturs Maskats and Georgy Sviridov. The themes of the 20th and 21st century choral works presented on the album range from love to nature and the sacred. Five of the works include solo parts sung by two notable Latvian singers, Aleksandrs Antoņenko and Eva Ezeriete. The title work of the recording, Sviridov's Sacred Love, is a unique example in its spellbinding beauty of aesthetic and soaring vocal writing. The Latvian Radio Choir is regarded as one of the top professional chamber choirs in Europe, their repertoire extending from the Renaissance to the present day. The choir regularly commissions works from leading Latvian composers. Kļava, chief conductor and Artistic Director of the Latvian Radio Choir since 1992, is one of Latvia's most prolific choral conductors. Apart from the standard repertoire, he has conducted most premieres of new choral works by Latvian composers.
