These are some of the most stunning and communicative statements since Shostakovich - and Sumera should have composed so much more, but he died at the age of 50. A good way to celebrate post-VE Day without any UK jingoism, and to remember why the EU came into being.Īn Estonian great remembered If you don't know the symphonies of Lepo Sumera, you should correct that by trying Paavo Järvi's cycle on the label BIS with the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra ( pictured above: Sumera on the left with conductor Peeter Lilje and Enno Mattisen).
