Description
'Vox amoris', apart from 'Tala gaisma' (Distant Light), is Vasks' second violin concerto with string orchestra accompaniment. The world premiere of this Fantasia per violino ed archi, as Vasks calls this one-movement work, took place in Sydney. The composer says about his piece: 'It is about the greatest power in the whole world - love. Love is, was and will be as long as we will be. I believe that solo violin and string orchestra is the best combination for a ‘love story’.'
For study purposes, Schott has now published the piano reduction of the concerto with solo part.
