"Once again Paul Hillier and his Estonian choir provide a varied programme of new choral works by Baltic composers. Despite a wide gamut of styles, each composition has an immediacy that is not always found in contemporary music." Erik Levi - BBC Music Magazine

"Letters posted to friends at home: that's how Paul Hillier describes the three volumes of choral music which have resonated far and wide as Baltic Voices – voices of both a wide range of composers, and of his Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir. This third and last volume is a fitting climax to an enthralling series….outstanding.” (BBC)
The Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir continues its exploration of the choral riches of the Baltic region with Vol. 3 of the series, featuring music of established figures (BERGMAN, GÓRECKI, GUDMUNDSEN-HOLMGREEN) and recent works by the younger generation (SAARIAHO, TÜÜR).
