Latvian, thanks for uploading Skultes work. Truly a bit of a find, that provokes so many associations: not only impressionism, but Scriabin as well.

I had a small piece by Skulte in a soviet-russian piano album with wich I liked to tease my teacher. (He always wanted me to play Beethoven and such stuff. ;))
It's the first time that I hear an orchestral piece by him. Thanks for that!
Please continue uploading music from Latvia!
I would very much like to hear Jazeps Vitolz's Symphony! I don't know if it has ever been recorded commercially but I am sure Latvian radio has produced it.

apparently Vitols may have written two, one from 1888 in E minor?, and a later one?
