About
The Latvian Symphony Orchestra conducted by Andris Poga performs works by Ivanovs and his pupil, Karlsons.
Written in 1945, Ivanovs’ Symphony No 5 is still one of the best examples of Latvian symphonic writing. Karlsons, Ivanvovs’ student, wrote his Music for Symphony Orchestra “1945” in 1985 as a commission from the state to celebrate the 40 year anniversary of the end of the War.

[The Ivanov is] a powerful, brooding work…while the performance is more than committed, it is a difficult work to love…the final minutes of the [Karlsons] are luminous and full of hope, something that the Latvian Symphony Orchestra under Andris Poga understand very well indeed.
