Jānis Mediņš: 24 Dainas (Preludes)
Catalogue Number: TOCC0097 24 Dainas Jonathan Powell, piano Jānis Mediņš (1890–1966) was one of the pioneers of Latvian music: his works include the first Latvian opera, and he was also an important conductor and teacher. His 24 Dainas for piano – he took the title from Latvian folk-poetry – show the influence of Rachmaninov, Grieg and Scriabin and have a modal colour inherited from Latvian folk-music. Although their composition was spread over four decades – interrupted by the Second World War and Mediņš’s exile in Sweden – the Dainas are unified by their passionate lyricism and epic sweep.
