Dreaming Under the Moonlight is a selection of lullabies from northern Europe, particularly Latvia and the Baltics—a region with an incredibly vast tradition of songs, many of them having as a theme the forest, fairies, ancient trees and the moonlight.

From the very first composition, this album will tempt you to listen to it more and more, as if wrapping you in a veil of peace, reflection, sentiment, or even a mild sadness. Let the clear and warm range of sound colors of the Kokle make you experience a wide range of feelings, and see a future full of hope.

Fridrich Bruk – born in Kharkov in 1937 and a Finnish resident since 1974 – made his name as a composer of tangos. But the heart of his music lies in a series of eighteen symphonies, which have a strong narrative element, some reflecting Jewish themes, others inspired by Karelia and Finland. Symphony No. 17, Joy of Life (which Bruk also calls a ‘Concerto-Symphony for Orchestra and Piano’), has an autobiographical programme charting, in abstract terms, Bruk’s surmounting of the obstacles fate put in his path.
